" Did you hear? There's a murderer in Illinois " Naomi's voice came through the screen of the tablet.
Mia scoffed inwardly. What is with everyone and this 'killing' thing.
" This is the first time in ages something like this happens, I'm so proud of whoever the person is. I heard those boys were going to rape a girl, can you believe it? Who does that? " Naomi said disgusted
" yeah, I can't believe it. Mom just told me about it it's annoying, now she won't let me take the subway anymore... "
" Mom too. Said she's tryna protect me from whosoever the murderer is " naomi said and they both sighed at the same time.
" Do you think it's someone from here though? "
" I don't know, but I'm sure it's a male "
" Yeah, me too. Anyway, about the assignment, are you done checking the information? "
" yes, I sent them to McKenzie already, she's going to note them down and we'll all discuss about it tomorrow after school " Mia said looking at the window
" Nice. And Lonan? "
" I don't think we should exclude him. He's pain, but it won't be nice watching him fail, besides, it's still an assignment...not a test "
" Yeah I guess you're right first time I hear you say something more sensible. You're becoming matured " Naomi said grinning
" don't start, I was always matured okay "
" Yeah sure goodnight Mia. See you at school. "
" goodnight. "
They both waved at each other through the screen before the call went off. Mia sighed and and stood up from the chair. She walked towards the window and pushed the curtain away.
Lonan was still not in the garden. The house was dark.
"Is he sleeping?"Mia asked no one in particular.
She watched as Ravens flew above the bushes of roses in his garden. She suddenly remembered the rose she once picked from his house she walked towards her cabinet and opened the drawer, taking the flower out. She smiled when she saw it wasn't damaged.
"I thought it would be dèad already," She dropped the flower on a glass of water and watched as it's stem turned greener.
She closed the curtain back and got on her bed with her tablet. She didn't have any sleep. She searched Lonan Hart on social media but she still found nothing the only person she found was Mike Hart, it was a person with a huge white beard. His eyes were so dark that it sent chills down her spine. She locked her tablet and tucked it unde her pillow.
" he's so weird. " She muttered before closing her eyes and forced herself to sleep. Soon, it took over.

Next morning ^^
"Be good okay? And remember what I said to you last night." Monica said as she kissed Mia's cheek.
" yes Mom, I'll take the school bus bye, I love you. " She waved at her as she stepped out of the car.
" I love you too honey. Have a great day "
Monica blew kisses at her before driving out of the school's packing lot.
Mia met with Naomi at the building entrance.
" hey B you're so early "
" yeah- mom is working early and I had to hurry up so she could drop me off. " Mia rolled her eyes and Naomi chuckled as they entered the building.
" what should we do then? "
" let's go to the library. "
________________________
" hey, check this out " Mia called out to Naomi. They were already at the library, looking at different books.
" what is it. " Naomi asked curiously as she sat beside Mia.
" it's a book, of how to break into someone's house "
" what? Why would there be a book like that in here? "
" who cares? It's here now and we got it " Naomi eyed Mia suspiciously.
" okay, out with it. What are you thinking? "
" oh you know? breaking into Lonan's house? "
" what?!! Are you insane " Naomi screamed
"Girls! Inside voice!" The librarian snapped at them and Mia apologized before dragging Naomi out of the library with the book still in her hand
" what's wrong with you Mia? You can't expect us to get into Lonan's house without his notice! "
" don't you want to find out what he is? Aren't you curious? "
" no! And you shouldn't either. We could get in trouble with this, so stop it. "
Mia rolled her eyes.
" fine, I guess you're right. I'm stupid "
" I don't know what it is you think about Lonan but I know he's a good guy, just believe me okay? "
" yeah, I believe you " Mia said signing
" good, now let's return this book back to the library... "
The school bell suddenly came off.
" it's okay, you go to class. I'll return it "
" okay, be fast." Naomi said before running down the hallway.
Mia watched her until her figure was out of sight. She rose up the book and stared at it.
"BEST WAYS TO BREAK INTO A HOUSE"
She read out the tittle.
Grinning, she dropped the book inside her backpack and placed her backpack inside her locker and locked it.
" can't wait to get home! " She squirmed before running to class as well.
