I went home that day, grateful to find my phone fully charged. I created a group chat and named it "Cathy"

Elaynah: Guys, I need your help

Nafs: What's up?

Elaynah: What are you doing tomorrow?

Nafs: Binge watching Netflix

Humz: Might walk around High Street.

Elaynah: Can you both pretend to go to the Library with me to 'study'

Humz: Eww, no. I don't wanna waste my Saturday STUDYING

Nafs: Same

Elaynah: Theres NO ACTUAL StuDying invoelves

Elaynah: *Involved

Nafs: Oh. So what are we doing then?

Elaynah: Well, I'm going on a secret mission...

Humz: I'm coming

Nafs: Going with you

Elaynah: I'm assassinating the prime minister.

Nafs: DEFINITELY GOING

Humz: Sounds more fun than what I'm gonna be doing

Elaynah: Fine...

Elaynah: so basically you heard about the stalker thing right?

Elaynah: I got some note to meet with the blonde woman that gave me the envelope

Elaynah: It's my only chance at knowing what's happening

Elaynah: You probably think I'm stupid and all that

Nafs: You're definitely not stupid. Besides, it's not like she can kidnap you in the middle of a busy street. You'll be fine

Humz: Especially with us as back up.

Elaynah: So you're both in?

Humz: Bring on the studying

Nafs: Will be there, meet you at 9.

And it was then I realised a small problem. The note did not specify a time. Guess I'll be spending the entire day at High Street.

I got up to find my mum on the sofa, "I'm studying with Humz and Nafs tomorrow at the library. I leave at 9."

"uhuh." I'll take that as a yes.
