At Dawn

Jordan woke up at dawn the next morning, anxious about the phase 2 of whatever plan Tommy arranged. So he texting Tommy but knowing that he probably wouldn't get a reply for at least an hour he decided to get his Phantom outfit and go dance. He put the outfit in his backpack and snuck out of the house and down the road into the abandoned house where only he goes. He brought his speaker and got ready to begin.

He picked a random song off his playlist when he got the notification from Tommy.

"What time will you arrive at the cafe?"

"Event starts at 10, cafe opens at 8, it's now 5:30 and I have be there no later than 7."

"Okay and what time are the girls getting there?"

"Probably right at 8 or shortly after."

"Why is the event being held at 10 if the cafe opens at 8?"

"Because that's what the author wanted to write? Idk! Just kidding I do know it's because apparently GhostTown is not an early riser because that is the timeline he paid for 10- 4

"Why are you so sarcastic so early in the morning?"

"I'm tired, I didn't really sleep well last night."

"What? Even after I told you sweet dreams?"

"I'm nervous okay? One of the most popular web authors is coming to my workplace in a few hours, my now 14 year old sister planned everything out with her friends who are slightly younger than her. I just found out there might be a way to get an old friend back. So I'm a little overwhelmed. Also I'm not even used to my parents wishing me sweet dreams or a good night so that threw me off too."

".... I mean it's reasonable. It's a lot to take in isn't it? I wish I could help you in any way, so if you have a way for me to help please let me know."

"I mean I don't even know why I spilled all that to you, I mean, yesterday was the first time we've ever talked making this literally the second time we are talking."

"It may be the first time we talk, but our history makes us a little closer than strangers doesn't it?"

"We are no strangers to each other, but with our history I would rather us be."

"That's fair. But now you have my number which means if you need to talk about anything… or anyone… you can text me. I'll listen."

"Okay fine but what do you have planned?"

"Right, so today I will come to the meeting at the cafe, we have to act like we are close. The more people who see us the better. If or rather when Colby sees he'll be mad."

"Why would he be mad to see us being close?"

"Because when he joined Eli he left everyone behind if he sees that he could have at least kept in contact he'll be mad at least at himself or maybe he'll feel guilty. Who knows how emotions work?"

"Sounds reasonable. So do I need to know anything about you to make it seem like we are close?"
