I chuckled. He had a point. There was no reason for me to go to his office. I didn’t need anything from him, and in less than two hours, I wouldn’t be a student here anymore. I didn’t want him to know that, and Tessa said she wouldn’t notify this school until after we were gone. Our transcripts had been accessed by someone in the Society that could hack computer systems, and they would go in this summer and wipe our records. They wouldn’t ever know where we’d gone or why. They wouldn’t even be able to prove we’d ever gone to school at Arlington Park.
We’d disappear, and hopefully, the AS wouldn’t find us.
The second the last bell of the year rang out, the doors burst open as students flowed toward the parking lot in a mass exodus. No one wanted to be on campus for a second longer than necessary.
We met up in front of our cars, and Luca looked back at the sprawling buildings. “Farewell, APA.”
“May we never meet again,” Sky saluted with his middle finger.
“Shh,” I scowled them and looked around. No one was supposed to find out we weren’t coming back. Nothing could tip off the AS that we were leaving.
“Come on, let’s go celebrate.” Vince put his arm around me and waved the others forward.
“Let’s go to my house. We can swim and get dinner or something.” Luca offered.
“Sounds good,” Gavin said.
Luca stopped walking and slid his phone out of his pocket and rolled his eyes before answering. “Hey.”
He listened for a while, leaning against his car. Finally, he said bye and lowered his phone. “I’ve got to head home. My dad needs me for something.”
By his tone, I knew he was talking about a Society task.
“Do you need any help?” Vince asked.
Luca kicked his tire. “Yeah, probably.”
“How many?” Noah stepped forward.
“You two should be enough.” Luca bit out a curse. “Sorry, I know this is the last thing you want to do.”
“It’s our job,” Noah patted him on the back. “I’ll follow you over to your place.”
“Thanks,” Luca nodded to Vince. “I’ll give you a ride.”
“We’ll see you guys later.” Vince waved to me, Gavin, and Sky.
“Then, there were three.” Sky said once they were in their cars. “Should we go to your house?” he asked me.
“Sure,” I answered, then looked to Gavin. “Want to come?”
“Yeah.”
As soon as we walked in, Sky went to the fridge in search of food.
“I’ll make us lunch if you guys pick out a movie,” I offered and bumped him out of the way. We had a few frozen pizzas, so I pulled those out and turned on the oven.
“I could have done that,” Sky teased.
“I’ve got it,” Gavin said from the living room. He was more comfortable using my TV than I was. There were too many remotes and buttons to remember to get to the different streaming options. That’s why I preferred movies in the theater room. That TV always stayed on one screen, and I didn’t have to worry about getting lost.
Gavin found the next Star Wars movie for me and spun around with a grin. “We’re going to have you caught up in no time.”
I faked a smile, making him chuckle.
We made it through two movies, and the boys almost finished all three pizzas when Gavin squirmed. I watched him check his phone and sigh. “My parents need my help with something.”
“Need us?” Sky asked.
