Chapter 5: Homecoming

Just as I thought, Jessica came home an hour later with a frown on her face.

“Where did you go?” she said.

I looked up from my book as I sat on the couch. Thankfully, I had prepared an excuse beforehand.

“Where u at? U going to that party later?”

A few minutes later, Lori replied: “Yeah. I promised Jess.”
