Dutch still looks like this  unless it's the times



6:30 p.m.

Mal and I went down for dinner and I avoided Alex. Not because I was worried I would slip up, or she did anything wrong really. Thinking back she was looking out for me. I just wasn't a fan of having to constantly lie. Also, just an update, 27 people now know which is honestly not great. There is a significantly higher fact my parents will find out that other people know.

"Earth to London?" Emily was waving her hand in front of her face and Rose laughed.

"Yep, what's up?" I say ignoring Rose.

"Lindsey and I are scaring Kelley. Do you want to help?"

"How is that a three-person job?"

"We need someone to bring Kelley to where we are scaring her, someone scaring her, and someone filming," Lindsey explains.

"Sure, what am I doing?"

"Luring Kelley, she won't be suspicious then. She's expecting me or Lindsey," Emily says.

"Great. When?"

"7:25."

"You're looking forward to this aren't you," Andi whispers.

"Hell yeah, I am. I'm great at lying, and I haven't scared the Arsenal girls cause I barely know them."

"I feel like that's on you."

"Oh, it definitely is," I agree.


7:15 p.m.

I had been thinking of a good excuse since Emily and Lindsey asked me to join. I was supposed to bring her to the physio room, ironic right, so it was easy to convince Kelley.

I knocked on her door hoping whoever was her roommate wasn't there. I had done my make up so it looked like I was bleeding from a cut on my forehead. Emily gave me fake blood and I found it best to not ask questions.

"Yea- What the hell happened?" Kelley yelled.

"Hey, Kel. I cut my forehead and I don't want Alex freaking out and your room is the closest to mine. Can you help me to the physio?" I asked catching a drop of the fake blood that dripped off my chin.

"Yeah come on. That doesn't look good. Put your hand on it to slow the bleeding."

I held back a laugh at how worried she was. I felt slightly bad but only slightly. 

"How's your head?" She asked.

"Are you serious?" I looked over at her.

"Stupid question. Here we are."

"Oh hey guys! Woah London what happened?" Lindsey asked. She was leaning against a shelf holding her phone as if she had been scrolling through Instagram. 

"Where's Addison?"

"I think she's in the back," Lindsey answered. She shifted her phone camera slightly and I felt the blood seeping through my hand.

"Jesus," I muttered.

"What?" Kelley asked. She led me to the door to the back.

"Nothing."

Kelley opened the door and I scanned the room for Sonnett. I had no idea where she was. 

Kelley pushed me over to the examination table to wait. I saw Emily's blonde hair behind the table with water.

"Hey Kel, could you grab me some water?" I asked.

"Sure thing London," She walked over to the table and Emily jumped out scaring her. Kelley screamed and a couple of packs of water bottles fell off the table. Lindsey and Emily started laughing and I helped Kelley up. She was shaking her head and smiling.
