I return to the classroom before the beginning of the next class. It's strange that Eric's backpack is still here. He had been being more cautious since someone robbed his game.
I walk towards it and open the zip only to discover the phone he used as Mr. Stranger right at the top. After grabbing it, I notice that it has received a message from an unknown number.
I'm about to open the text when someone clears his throat behind me. There's no need to turn around, I know who that is.
I save the phone slowly in the pocket of my jeans.
"What do you want, Arin?" I ask while turning around with annoyance.
"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to talk with you about the letter. Do you believe me?"
I smile slightly, turning around to see his damaged face. "You love attention, don't you?"
