OK. So my boyfriend (???) was prime suspect and I was supposed to HELP THESE FRICKING LOSERS?? No way. Absolutely No way.
I was thinking - and reading - all this on my way to the cafeteria the same morning - SURPRISE! - of my FAILED Algebra test. Oh dear. Anyway, I sat as far away from anyone - including Rob - that I could. Which meant I sat at the table next to the kitchen doors. Man, the smell of burning stuff is revolting.
"You on it again, Mastriani?" I looked up to see Rob glaring down at me. I shook my head and looked back down at the file.
NAME: Hadley
SURNAME: James
"Mastriani? Look, you can't be mad at me . . . . Still/ I told you I'll explain." I shook my head again and the next thing I knew, the files were flying outta my hands and into the air.
"HEY!! Give 'em back, Wilkins!! That's FBI property!" I jumped out of my seat and lunged at him, the whole cafeteria was silent, waiting for the next move. Crap.
"If they were so important to you, " He snarled "Then you wouldn't bring 'em at school, would you?!?" He sounded so mad, and I hated him more than ever.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" I screech, "First you dump me, then you think you can just wander up to me, steal my files AND TALK TO ME LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED? Are you out of your mind????" A flash of hurt went across his face, then in a blink of an eye it was gone. He grabbed me from the front of my jacket and slammed me against the wall,
"You listen to me, Mastriani. I care about you, whether you like it or not. You can't just help these guys. You'll end up in a hospital or a psychiatrist office at least, and then what use will you be to them? Or yourself?" I pushed him away and grabbed the files from his limp hand. He was right of course. He always was. I walked back to the table and picked up my bag and my failed test. I walk out, not daring to look back just in case I would start crying.
DATE OF BIRTH: unavailable
AGE: unavailable
MISSING? yes
FOUND? no
CASE: Missing since the sixth of January. Next door neighbour, Mrs. Jenson, 68, said to have last seen her on the fifth. It Is said that she is related to Lucas Roberts. Jess Mastriani on the case and will be leaving for NYC as soon as possible.
I walked and read and tried to keep from screaming in frustration all at the same time. I sat in front of my locker, with students milling about and some of them staring. The file included two photos. One of Hadley and one of Lucas. Hadley was the classic babe. Only younger. She seemed about seven or eight with big baby-blue eyes and curling blonde hair. She had the mysterious but I-am-everything-and-you-are-no-one look down pat. It seemed that it was taken a long time ago. The photo, I mean.
The second photo was of Lucas. His grey-blue eyes glaring at the camera, his mouth in an angry pout. His hair was blonde with black and gold streaks which I had never noticed before. I suddenly felt something, a small whiff of that smell of his. Gasoline mixed with aftershave. And I saw an image in front of my eyes, like I was seeing through his, only he was angry and screaming something at someone.
Gone. Just like that. The whole thing disappeared and I was back at Ernie Pyle High School, sitting on the floor of the, now empty, corridors.
I slowly got up, feeling the pain in my side tearing away at me, and slowly made my way out of the school. Rob caught up only minutes later. He swung off his bike and sat next to me on the wall surrounding the small pond.
"I'm coming with you, whatever you say, and I'm ready to explain everything." I looked at him in amazement, and grabbed his hand,
"Wait, what? You can't-" He cut me off by raising a hand in the universal sign of 'stop'
"OK. I dumped you because Lucas was putting me off. Him staying here without telling you everything was a big mistake and I was scared of losing you as well as my innocence here and at school. OK? So, first off. I love you. I always loved you and I always WILL love you, whatever you do. Including running away for a secret wedding with Chick." I laughed and so did he. He squeezed my hand and continued,
"I'm coming with you to New York and I'm gonna stand by you all the way. Unless I'm two scared to make it and die of fright." I laugh again. This day was getting better.
"AND, I am NOT going to tell what I'm on probation for, OK?" He saw it on my face probably. The question I had pestered him with since we met. Oh well. We had a whole stay in New York so I could force it out of him.
I smile and say, "We're leaving tonight. Whether you're ready or not."
