(Anti's POV)
Noah ran into the living room with a newspaper "Guys! You won't believe what's on the front page!" Noah showed us all the newspaper- "Case of Lyrtse Thorn's assassination attempt reopened due to suspect being innocent?" Chase read the headline "Angel's innocent-" I took the paper "A list of new suspects is being made, as for the next twenty four hours, the Royal court will start questioning those on that list..." I looked up at everyone else, in the corned of my eye I saw Gamer and Death rushing off down the hall...
(Angel's POV)
Death and Gamer rushed into my room while I was talking to Akire and Mangle, closing the door behind them "We're so dead" Gamer freaked out a bit "This dorm isn't a panic room, so get out or-" "They know you didn't do it" Death blurted out as my eyes widened "The fuck?! How?!". "Um... what are you on about?" "Angel didn't try to kill Lyrtse Thorn, now they're reopening the case" Akire whispered to Mangle "They're making a new suspect list Angel, and most likely me and Gamer will be on it". "Calm the fuck down. You both have no evidence on you-" "They will think that you were covering for someone! They immediately go to us!" Death yelled, I signed "Can we talk about this after school? You know, the very place we all have to be in a few minutes?" I really wasn't in the mood for this today. I really don't care if Death and Gamer do get arrested or something, but I will if the sentence is worse than mine...
A few hours later...
"What if-" "Gamer, seriously. Stop" I said as we walked into the classroom, seeing everyone is still waiting for Ianthe to show up "Hey Angel" Leo smiled, but I just waved him off, walking over to my seat which was thankfully on the other side of the room, well away from him. I placed my bag down as someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned around to see Leo "Okay, what the fuck you want?" I groaned, crossing my arms "I don't know. You, me, and possibly a movie?" "Yeah, no" "Seriously?" "Yeah, you can fuck off back to the other side of the room where you belong" I said as I sat down. But the next thing I knew, Leo had my hand, he kissed the back of it "As you wish my princess~" Leo then walked back to his chair as I sat there confused, well more like not knowing what the fuck just happened or what he just fucking called me. I wiped the back of my hand on my jeans, then took out my book as Ianthe finally walked into the classroom apologizing to everyone and saying she was at an unexpected meeting "Today is gonna be a bit different since there'll be a lot of writing. I'm gonna write up page numbers and questions from the text history text books in the back corner of the room, I'll be walking in and out today, all work will be checked tomorrow at first period, now if you excuse me, I need to be getting back to that meeting". Ianthe quickly wrote up some questions then rushed out of the room, Anti got up, grabbed the text books and started handing them out, until he got to me "Can we talk outside?" Anti asked as he placed the text book on my desk "Okay?" he handed out the last of the text books, then walked out of the classroom, me following him. "Is there anything happening between you and Leo?" "I'm actually surprised you'd think that-" "Angel" Anti had a serious face painted on "Anti. I'd rather have my neck slit then even be near him... why do you care anyway?" "Cause I'm your friend, I'm aloud to care..." I could tell something was bothering him. "Anti-" "What aren't you guys telling me?" "What-" "I know you didn't try to kill Lyrtse Thorn, but there's something else to it, isn't there" I felt like I was being put on the spot... I'm gonna regret this. I pulled him away from the classroom door where no one or no cameras could hear or see us "You have to keep this a secret or I'll fucking murder you in your sleep... I confessed to the attempted assassination to protect Death and Gamer" Anti's eyes widened "They-" "Yeah, they tried to kill her, but failed. So now pretend like you don't know". I went to walk back to the classroom until I felt a hand in mine, I realized it was Anti's "I promise, I'll not say a word to anyone about it" Anti then let go of my hand and walked back into the classroom as I felt my face start to heat up, I quickly shook it off and walked back into the classroom, sitting down to start my work.
(Leo's POV)
Anti walked back into the room, a few seconds later Angel walked back in too. They're up to something, I know it. I grabbed out my journal, turning page after page, notes written from the journal they took, but the journal holds more information I haven't been able to read since those demons took it. I sat there thinking. Who'd be the one in charge of 'guarding' the journal? My gaze immediately went between Gamer and Angel since they're the most responsible ones of the group and won't even trust the book with the others- Death and Gamer were passing notes, trading answers. After all that work into getting Gamer to not be his friend anymore, even getting a black eye, and those two are still friends?! Oh fucking hell! How am I suppose to get the journal back now?
(Ianthe's POV)
"You sure?" I ended up having an unexpected meeting with Aristomache and Euanthe about the Lyrtse Thorn case "We are, this is the finalized list" Aristomache answered "When?" "Next week, Monday, half-way through the day" Euanthe said as I took another look at the list of suspects....
