Chapter 280 Celeste

Lila’s POV

“What are you talking about?” Rachel asked, emerging from her room and surprising us both.

“Rachel,” Becca greeted, giving her a faint smile. “It’s nice to see you. Feels like it’s been forever.”

“I was only in my bedroom,” she said with a shrug, plopping down on the couch beside her. “Why do you look so sad?”

She looked at me and we exchanged odd looks, but then I nodded to her, giving her permission to fill her

in.

“We just found out that there’s someone else at this school that has the ability to manipulate minds,” Becca

told her.

Her eyes widened at her words.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, someone, other than Sarah, can force people to do and say things,” she further explained, shuddering. “They forced Scott to take the fall for killing Merida.”

I watched as Rachel’s face fell in shock.

“Scott confessed?”

We both nodded.

“But it wasn’t a real confession,” I made sure to inform her. “He was forced to do it.”

“How do you know that?”

“I just know,” I said in return. “I could tell. Something was up with his eyes…”

“His eyes?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at me. “What do you mean?”

“They were all dark and weird. He also wasn’t acting like himself-”

“But wasn’t he like an as shole or something?” Rachel said quickly, keeping her eyes locked on mine.

“Well, yeah, I mean he was. But a lot of his doing was because of Sarah and the hold she had on him. He’s been trying to do good since they broke things off and he became aware of her,” I said in return. “He’s also not capable of murder.”

“Anyone is capable of murder if provoked,” she said with a shrug; her casual attitude was shocking to me.

“I doubt Merida provoked him into murdering her,” I said, shaking my head at her.

“You didn’t know her that well,” Rachel shrugged.

“Neither did you, apparently,” I said, furrowing my brows together.
