When the Family Ch 9

Chapter 9 Her Brother Made Hot Pot

Not very peaceful!

Jean wasn’t sure what Sofia meant by that. But the girl continued, “Whatever you do, don’t go near the art building. Lacey and Deon both got into something dangerous over there.”

Lacey and Deon?

Weren’t those the two who bullied her today?

That was great news!

Whoever was lurking in the art building doing the Lord’s work deserved a medal.

Jean’s face–relaxed, her expression casual. “Really…? What kind of danger?”

“It happened last month,” Sofia explained, her brows still tightly furrowed. “School hadn’t started yet. The two of them came to campus with a few others to hang out and something happened in the art building. The school covered it up, so not many people know.”

“Then how do you know?” Jean asked.

Sofia sighed, clearly reluctant. “My uncle works as a security guard here.”

Sofia came from an ordinary background. She got into Stellarford Academy entirely on the strength of her grades–though her uncle being on staff didn’t hurt.

Her uncle was a talker. Always rambling about school gossip and rumors.

He’d let this one slip by accident.

It wasn’t like she wanted to know, okay?

“You’re not afraid I’ll spread it around?” Jean raised an eyebrow.

Sofia just shrugged. “There’s no such thing as a real secret. Everything comes out eventually. Sooner or later. But you’re the only person I’ve told.”

Jean’s eyes lit up, clearly intrigued. “Then tell me–what exactly happened to Lacey and Deon in the art building?”

Sofia shook her head. “I don’t know… my uncle wouldn’t tell me.”

In fact, he’d been tight–lipped about the whole thing. He hadn’t shared a single detail.

All he’d said was-

It was creepy. He didn’t want her having nightmares, so he left it at that.

But today, both Lacey and Deon had shown up to school like nothing had happened. They looked totally normal. No weird behavior, no aftereßects,
