Chapter 502
Chapter 0502 Almost immediately after, the door opened again and a skinny, nerdy- looking guy walked into the room.
“Is this the student committee room?” He asked peering around.
Before I could answer, Becca spoke first.
“Hey, Luis!” She said cheerfully. He smiled pleasantly at her. “I saved you a seat next to me,” she added, waving him over.
He quickly walked further into the room and toward her. I handed him a signup sheet and a key as he walked by and murmured, “Thanks.” I got a key for Matt as well and slid it across the table to him and another for Skylar. § “Everybody in the committee gets a key to this room,” I explained.
“Even if we don’t have any scheduled meetings, you are all welcome to come here to get work done. I am planning on having a meeting at least once a week. But I'll keep you updated via text messages, so make sure my number is in your phone.” I felt like I was truly in charge; the feeling was surreal. I spent my entire life watching my father be in charge, so I suppose it was like second nature to me.
The door opened again, and I turned to see Rachel running into the room. I was honestly surprised to see her.
“Hey,” I said to her, trying to act casual.
“Sorry, I'm late,” she said, rushing past me and taking a seat at the table. “I had some stuff to do beforehand.” “Seems you always have stuff to do lately,” I said; not trying to sound mean, but I was a bit annoyed and a little worried for her. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She glanced at me, pressing her lips firmly together.
“Pm busy,” she said, her voice much dryer than it ever has been.
Her eyes were dark; they weren't like her normal bright ocean blue.
Looking into them made me feel uneasy. i “Sorry,” I said, not wanting to get into an argument. I grabbed a key from the baggie and handed it to her. “Everyone gets a key to this room,” I explained.
Without saying anything, she took the key and shoved it into the pocket.
When she did so, I noticed there was a light red stain on her pants, making me narrow my eyes at her. She smelled off; I couldn’t explain it. Just different. But I didn’t say anything to her about it out loud; I just shook my head and clanked at the clock.
It was 10 past 8, which meant I needed to start this meeting because Skylar had class at 9.
“ guess this is everybody,” I said, shrugging and glancing at Brody
who looked disappointed.
I sat down and opened my notebook, starting from the very first plan idea Becca and I had. A fall formal. We never had a back-to-school party and we've already been back for a little over a month, so we decided on a fall formal instead.
“So, I'll need volunteers to prepare that. We'll need a venue, preferably one with a ballroom, and some to help with decorating and catering,” I explained. “We have plenty of funding, so money isn’tan issue, “I added.
Before anyone could say anything, the door of the room slowly .
opened, turning everybody’s attention in that direction.
I heard Kayla gasping loudly and the color of Becca's face drained. I didn’t have to look to know who it was, but I did anyway.
“Hey...” Sarah said in a low and awkward tone. “Sorry, I'm late...”
