chapter 10:
After the final bell rang, Hannah ran to her locker and spun her combination furiously on the
lock. SNAP. It popped opened and she grabbed her backpack, and ran to the parking lot.
Cameron's sixth hour class was closer than Hannah's, so he got there first. Hannah walked
through the crowds of rushing students, and finally spotted Cameron. He was leaning against
the door of the truck, with a grin and a wave. Hannah smiled and rushed to her friend.
"Hey Cam!" She said, slightly out of breath.
"Hi Hannah" He replied, pulling open the passenger door.
She giggled and climbed into the truck. And off they went to the Lima Bean.
Mckinleigh sat in her room and stared. The painting she finished was now hung over her
desk, covering yet another portion of her purple walls. Her painting really represented her life.
She remembered West Front Park at night. A beautiful golden fountain with music notes
coming out. But at night no one was there to see it's beauty.
"Time To ShineMiki" She thought to herself, and for the next hour she practiced and
practiced.
"Time for Dinner Mimi" Her father called.
"Coming" She shouted back.
She hurried down the stairs and saw Her cousin Kevin at the table.
"KEVIN!" She screamed jumping into the older boys arms.
Kevin chuckled and put Mckinleigh back on the ground.
"Miki! long time no see" He smiled.
She screamed again happily, and danced around with Kevin.
Kevin, who was now in college was always the one who Miki looked to for advice. He always
made her feel great about herself. He seemed to be the only one who thought she was a star.
"Okay, calm down you two" Her dad called.
"we still have food you know"
They looked over to see the table covered in delicious smelling food.
"Yum" Miki cried, and she started shoving her face with food.
After dinner, she brought Kevin up to her room and showed him her painting.
"Miki, this is amazing." He said, pulling her into another hug.
She smiled and hugged him back, wishing he could stay forever.
Meanwhile, Cameron and Hannah sat down at the Lima Bean table and ordered drinks.
"I'll have a White Chocolate Mocha please!" Hannah told the waitress. She was obviously
excited to get this sugary drink
"Just an Espresso for me." Cameron said.
"Your drinks will be here in a moment"
About twenty minutes after their drinks came, Cameron and Hannah spotted a familiar boy in
a bright colored outfit walk through the door with another boy.
"Whose that guy with Alex?" Cameron whispered
"I think he goes to Dalton" Hannah said back.
Alex sat down at a table across the room with a mystery boy, and began to talk.
All of a sudden Cameron got an idea.
"Hannah give me your phone, Quick!" He said
Hannah threw her bag at Cameron and yelled
"Top Pocket."
he unzipped it and scrolled down to Alex N.
He then opened a texting window and wrote "Hey! Wanna Hang Out Today?"
She peeked over a menu, and looked at Alex checking his phone. He motioned to the boy
that he had to text back.
Alex replied
"I can't, my parents brought me to a concert in Cincinnati, but I'll be back by eight."
Cameron gasped, and handed the phone to Hannah. She stared and wondered what was
Alex up to. They grabbed their coffee, and then ran out to the truck and drove away.
"Cam, go to the Lima Library" Hannah said
"okay..." Cam said, unsure of himself.
when they got their Hannah went over to the LOHSYA. No one really went in their because
they never knew what it meant. Hannah went over to the closest shelf and pulled out last
year's Dalton Academy high school yearbook. they flipped through the pages until Cameron
stopped Hannah.
"There he is, that's the guy" He cried, forcing his finger onto the thick paper.
"Sebastian Sayer" Hannah read
"Dang he's smoking"
Cameron gaped at Hannah, ogling this guy.
He had dark brown hair all pushed up, and his slim face, with no nerd glasses.
"Alright that's enough, he's in choir, he's our competition" He said slamming the yearbook.
The next day at school a large poster hung in the window of the office.
HOMECOMING THIS SATURDAY
BY YOUR TICKET AND FIND A DATE
THE THEME IS FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
AT WEST FRONT PARK
Everyone gathered around the sign and planned out what was going to happen. Damian right
away went over to Lindsay and twirled her around. He spun her two more times then caught
her in his arms.
"Will you do me the honor of being my date for homecoming this Saturday" He asked
nervously,
She laughed and hugged him tightly
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Everyone awed and they proceeded to group with their friends. A couple minutes later, after
the crowd died down, Ellis cornered Cameron.
"Go do it, or you'll hate yourself forever" She said
He stood their, and tried to avoid Ellis's stare but it was impossible.
"I I I'll do it tomorrow" He stammered, nervously looking over his shoulder.
"You better" She said before stalking away from the scene, with her eyes on Cameron.
All throughout classes no one paid attention to any of the teachers, they were to busy
discussing homecoming. Except in choir Mr. Schue laid down the law.
"Guys quit talking about homecoming this instant and listen." He said angrily.
All at once everyone stopped their conversations and looked at their usually cheerful teacher.
"I needed you stop so I can talk about homecoming! our choir will be singing and announcing
queen and king" He said with a huge smile.
Everyone suddenly burst into a large group of applause and cheers. For the rest of the class
period they got to work on their song choices and outfits. Marissa sat with Samuel, his arm
around her but she was still slightly depressed.
"Damian asked Lindsay right away, why didn't he ask me?" She thought to herself. She
looked up at Sam with sad eyes and curled up closer to him.
"Are you okay Mars, do you need something?" He asked, genuinely concerned at her sudden
cloudy mood.
She sighed and shook her head.
"Just tired...I guess"
he shrugged and went back to talking with Matheus, his arm a little more reassuring around
Marissa. No one paid attention to Alex though except Hannah, he was in the corner talking on
the phone.
"So I'll go to work and then come back toCici's right?" He spoke softly into the phone
Someone answered with a positive remark.
"Great! see you soon, love you" He replied before closing his phone.
the call left him their with a huge smile on his face, and Hannah with yet another lingering
question.
"What is going down here?" She thought,
"Is this some sort of scandal or just some boring thing?" She said under her breath.
for the rest of the day, she walked through the halls, silently staring at Alex to find more clues
to this Mystery. After school, Matheus took Ellis to the slushy shop over by the school and sat
her down at a table.
"I'm gonna use the bathroom, I'll be right back." He said, before getting up and leaving.
A waitress then brought a slushy, a napkin and two straws. Ellis smiled at them, the napkin
read "Homecoming?" in blue sharpie, and one straw said yes and the other no. She grabbed
the yes straw and wrote something on it and placed it in the cup. She took one more second
to admire the display, and then she left. When Matheus returned, Ellis was nowhere to be
found, he checked the straw and not only did it read yes, but in orange pen it read (419)567-
3953 Call Me. He grinned and took a sip of the slushy. After placing the number in his phone,
he marched out, throwing the no straw in the trash on his way out.
