"I'm gonna kill them."

"Well, I'll help you. I know how to get rid of their bodies."

At my words, Torryn looked at me with an eyebrow raised in question. I shrugged, "I like to read. Also, you get all kinds of information on Tumblr."

It was Saturday and we were currently sitting in Mad Batter, waiting for the others to arrive. By we, I meant Torryn, Mae and me. Mason, Matt, and Owen were supposed to get a ride with Ethan. And it was no surprise that Ethan had come halfway towards the cafe before he remembered that he was supposed to be picking the others too. As a result, we had been waiting for them to arrive for the last 14 minutes.

Having lived in Paradise for the entirety of my life, it was no surprise that the famous cafe was yet again a little crowded in spite of the events that happened a few days ago. The people here were like daredevils, it didn't matter what happened and when it happened, after, like, two days everyone got back to their old routines. Not even life-threatening danger could come between people and their coffee.

One of the waiters approached me. "Umm..would y'all mind changing seats. Or are other people arriving? "

His nametag read Greg. Greg seemed really young and really nervous. And he wasn't being rude by asking this. We were sitting at one of the bigger tables and there were other groups of people who were bigger in numbers who had to adjust at smaller and separate tables. It wasn't our fault either. It was Ethan's fault.

Before I could answer in the affirmative and politely apologize to Greg, Torryn had already replied with a blunt "yes".

I rolled my eyes at him. There was a reason poor Greg (who had run off the instant Torryn had answered) had asked me and not either of them. Well, Torryn and Mae could pass for twins with their black leather jackets and 'don't approach me' faces. Of course, Greg asked the girl wearing a Tom and Jerry hoodie, and a grin on her face.

I looked towards Mae to see a completely unsurprising sight. She had laid her head on her hands on the table and was gently snoring. This girl slept every minute she could.

"Soo.."

"So?" I turned towards Torryn, genuinely surprised because never in a hundred years would I have bet on Torryn Cole to be the one who started a conversation. And few things surprised me after (spoiler alert!) the revelation of Snape's loyalty in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Torryn cleared his throat as if engaging in a conversation was war and he was mentally preparing himself for it.
"So, Miller, what would you be doing on any other Saturday?"
We had somehow gotten into the habit of calling each other by our surnames.

"I sleep on Saturdays."

"Other than sleeping? "

I grinned. "No. Saturdays are reserved specifically for sleeping."

"Sounds nice. "

"Oh, it is. My Mom almost freaked out of happiness when Mae came to pick me up."

"I can see why you two are best friends." He was looking at Mae's sleeping figure but was soon looking at Mae's favorite finger. Torryn raised an eyebrow.
She then got up and walked away muttering something about going to the washroom.

I smiled at him, "But, yes, there are some Saturdays when I binge watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine or curl up in bed with a book. What about you Cole? Wait a minute, why didn't I bring it up before?" This was the point when I started my usual rambling.
"So, Torryn Cole, you just initiated a conversation, how does it feel? Oh man, am I rubbing off on you?"

His lips twitched a little. "Maybe. But to answer your question, on Saturdays, Ethan would be dragging me to some boring party or all four of us would be hanging out at one of our houses."

I nodded. "Noice." And that was when I heard it. The quitely muttered "toit". I looked at Torryn with wide eyes. It was as if this boy was on a mission to surprise me out of my wits today.

Before I could start screeching and ask a thousand questions, we were interrupted by a gentle knocking on our table.

Hey guys!
I know that I'm very late and I'm very sorry for that. I was a bit preoccupied with Diwali.

I sometimes forget my responsibility as the author of this book 🙃. I also have a buttload of projects and homework. So, I will try to update as soon as possible.

Why are there no comments? Please let me know what you think. Whether you like it or not, if I should make some changes, etc.
