#Chapter73

I thought Mrs. Pierce hated my guts and would never want to see me ever again after last night but I was proven wrong when I received a call from her at 8 in the morning.

/"Casey, darling, I never got to say goodbye to you last night. You left so sudden./" She's scaring me. Why is she suddenly so nice to me?

I rub my eyes, still sleepy. /"... Sorry./" I think of an excuse, /"I had somewhere to be./" I lie through the phone. How did she even get my number? I don't even know my own number.

/"Oh. Well, that's okay,/" she said. I could literally imagine her faking a sweet smile. /"I was just wondering if you wanted to join me on a brunch with my book club,/" she ask, making me fully awake now.

/"Umm...I.../" I mumble, trying to think of an excuse.

/"Please? My book club ladies want to meet you. You're all they've been talking about./" She beg. What is she even talking about? I barely met her last night.
