Chapter 16

Tanner immediately informed Maisie about the dangers, but she feigned ignorance. Then, she told me about it. I watched as she acted in front of me. Smirking, I too pretended to be fearful. In a trembling voice, I said, "Is that so? Maisie, could you walk with me after school?" "No problem!" A devious smile played on her lips. At the same time, I texted my bodyguard, "Now." Soon, it was time to leave school, but I didn't show up as expected. Instead, I left earlier and was all settled down at home. I was munching on sliced watermelons and having fun on my computer as I waited for the updates. As expected, Maisie was absent the next day. After class, Leanne came up to me. "Hey, guys, did you hear the rumors about Maisie? She was sullied by a hooligan!" "Huh? That's impossible. Security around the school is very tight." "Finley's uncle works in the police force. The news is absolutely true. I heard that a report was filed last night, but the suspect was nowhere to be found…" Hah.
