Class interval. Reading mystery novel.
"Hey Lynn! What's up?"
Huh? Female voice? Who's there to annoy me now again? I tilted my head up with the-always-disgusted-look only to capture Zoey smiling at me.
"Nothin' much. Just reading mystery novel," I stuttered. I don't know why.
"Cool! Is it about those scientific mysteries that scientists are struggling to find explanation about? For example- complicated stuffs like UNIVERSE??"
"Uh- It's about crime and murder like detective stuffs," I said hesitatingly. I forgot a nerd and topper like her only cares about such stuffs.
"I see. I read them too sometimes. Seems like we got same interest. Then why don't we-" before she could finish some girl called out.
"Zoeyyyyyy!!! Tressy snapped at another dude again,"
"Be Right There! Sorry Lynn, have to go now. See you around!" she winked and went away.
Must be tough for her to be the class monitor. But then I realised that my heart was pounding so fast and I was so nervous! Like GOD! Why would someone like her talk to someone like me. She is the first girl (Women don't count. Not going to date an old hag afterall) I talked to in ages. Nevermind, back to the mystery solving...

So it's been 2 weeks or so or maybe more. After that day, I've been hanging out with Zoey and her best friend Tressy Laurier. My first female friends in my whole life! I kind of felt like I wasn't giving Steve and Mac enough time but they have their own life too to figure out instead of keeping up with my bullshit always, right? So giving them a break from me I guess? or so I thought.

Steve's POV:
Lynn seems to be very busy lately and that's suspicious.
"Pervert Alert! Pervert Alert!" Mac announcing in low voice from behind.
I rolled my eyes, turned my head and asked, "What?"
"Why are you staring at Evie like a pervert?"
"Listen. You're the stalker here, Macman. OR WHY THE FUCK ELSE ARE YOU STALKING A GUY WHO IS JUST PEACEFULLY WITH NO ILL INTENTION AT ALL WATCHING A GIRL!?"
"Oh my God! You are more dramatic than me."
"At least you admitted you are dramatic!"
Mac was trying to oppose saying something but I stopped him saying, "Hey Mac, don't you think something is suspicious about Evie these days?"
Suddenly Mac's face became cloudy. Worry and seriousness was obviously carved in his face. I knew something felt off.
"Totally, I was gonna ask you about that. Seems like you don't know too. Shall we ask her? I hate it when she hides something from me when I obviously know how much she suffers from insecurity-"
"You mean 'US' right Maccy~?"
"YEAH YEAH, PRECISELY. HOW COULD I LEAVE YOU OUT. HAHA."
LOL. Was my grin that scary? I didn't even give it my best. What a scaredy cat~
"I think we should keep an eye on her for time being."
Thus we both agreed on this one.
