24 ??The unexpected visit?? (2/2)

I glared at him.

He continued, ”You're clearly not doing anything to pull her into your trap. Have you quit the bet, Zayn?”

The fact that he would talk about Leia like that had my blood boiling. I sat up in my chair and pointed the pen at him. ”To hell with you and your bet, Anas. I'm not doing this to her.”

He genuinely looked surprised. Any trace of that shark grin fell from his face. ”Are you kidding me?”

I snuck in a quick breath and decided he wasn't worth a reply. I went on to type things in my laptop, trying hard not to think about Leia.

That's when a knock sounded on the door. I looked at the clock above. 7:00. The principal wouldn't come to check up on us for about an hour. Then who the hell was disturbing me? Well, technically there were three of us sitting here but those two were basically invisible to me.

I looked at Zeesh from out of the corner of my eye. He was smoking something. I hoped it wasn't weed. Didn't smell like it, but who knew?

”What?” He drawled out to me.

”Open the door,”

He scoffed, getting super comfy on the sofa. ”You do it.”

Before I could bark out a reply, Anas said, ”Zeesh, you're the closest to it. Remember I brought you water from my house that day? I had to walk miles to go to the kitchen.”

Zeesh said, ”Wow. You guys are unbelievable.” And thankfully got up before that impatient person could knock some more.

I clicked my tongue in exasperation because for some reason the internet decided it wasn't going to work. I clicked the keys over and over again as if it was somehow their fault.

Also, why was the room so damn silent?

I looked up from the screen and everything inside of me halted.
