We've had chicken and rice for dinner, something I actually managed to eat a proper portion of. Dave is now testing me on B1, flipping through the CGP flashcards with Allie staring at them over his shoulder.
"This is silly," Alfie announces, turning on the TV. "It's just a test."
"It's the tests," I correct. "And do you have to—"
I snatch the remote out of Alfie's hands to stop him changing the channel. The TV is currently on the news channel, BBC News Midlands to be exact. A smart looking woman with short hair and a flowery dress is speaking.
"And after the recent tragedy of a teenage schoolboy's death, the same school community is suffering yet another loss. The body of a teacher was found in his car today, still in the school car park of Dugray Grammar in his car just twenty minutes after pupils were let out. More information to follow."
They don't name the teacher, I keep watching to see if they do.
I don't register what Dave and Mum and Alfie are saying.
A teacher is dead.
A teacher from Dugray Grammar.
The school community of Dugray Grammar suffering another loss.
Josh and Granger.
Granger and Josh.
Me and Eden.
Eden and me.
I feel like my heart is going to stop, like I've forgotten how to breathe.
But there something more important. If Granger is dead, there is one thing the police will latch onto. Me. Me and my twisted murder deal with Eden Davis.
"Eve, are you okay?" Dave asks cautiously.
You're supposed to feel something when someone dies, aren't you? Sorrow, anger, grief. But all I feel is fear.
Fear and nothing at all for Granger.

Softest Lips | on hold
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝-"I just kissed the softest lips that god has ever madeAnd I am so in love with the girl to whom these lips he gave." Orianne was a lover girl, whom some considered a hopeless romantic, but she wouldn't dare let the opinions of others knock her off her pivot. She was a young woman who knew what she wanted, and to her, there was nothing wrong with that. She desired the husband, children, dates, random gifts, trips, family outings, and so on.Some would say the reason she can't keep a man is because her standards are high. Which is a ridiculous take. Yes, her standards may be "high," but that's because her father set the tone. She knows what she wants and how she's supposed to be treated, and if you're not giving her that, then you have to go. Out of the few men she has dealt with, she lets them know beforehand what she wants, and it's not her fault that they choose to lead her on under the impression that they wanted the same thing. Another reason men tend to leave her alone is because she's a woman of status, a woman of her word, and a woman about her business. She handles her own and has her own which tends to bruise a man's ego. When asked what she brings to the table, she has a solid answer. She doesn't just bring herself or her body-that's the bonus-she brings communication, trust, comprehension, stability, submission, commitment, and so on. The main question of the matter is, how will Miss. Orianne react when a 19 year old wants to sweep her off her feet and give her everything she wants and more?𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲: me
