The driver opened the door as I looked at my camera app on my phone.

I fixed my wig while looking at myself through my phone and put my school uniform back on. I put the used folded clothes back in the compartment underneath my seat and kept the note. It was adorable, so I might as well keep it and probably blackmail him later. I took the hand of the driver and stepped out.

"Miss (Last Name), your bag is in your shoe locker. Can Liam have your number?" The driver asked me, extending his arm and motioning for him to give me his phone.

Liam didn't come back with me, but the driver was there. Apparently when I left, he called the driver to pick me up and drop me back off school. I wonder where he went or why he went back into Ray's room.

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and gave it to the driver. He tapped Liam's number into my phone and pulled out his phone to text Liam my number. Then, he gave it back.

"Thank you, Miss. I hope I can serve you when you take Liam's last name after marriage," he waved.

I smiled to him, but then realized what he said.

"H-Hey- Wait!" I shouted.

The driver smirked at me, stepped into the driver's seat of the limo, and drove off.

I sighed, running my hands through my hair in annoyance.

"Is everyone that hangs out with Liam a huge dick or what?" I mumbled under my breath.

I slid my phone back into my pocket and walked through the school's front doors. I opened my shoe locker and grabbed my bag, closing it afterwards. I then wandered around the school, looking for any signs to hint at what period it was.

"Hey, (Male Name)!" Someone called out.

I turned around and saw Zander again. I sent him a quick smile and a wave as he walked up to me.

"Why were you gone?" Zander whined.

I giggled at his childishness and patted his head.

"I had to do something for the principal," I said, hoping he didn't catch my bluff.

He stared at me blankly for a few seconds as if processing what I just told him. I almost started confessing to him, because of his stare. It's not his business anyway and I would rather not tell him Liam's personal life. Zander interrupted my thoughts with a sudden smile.

"Oh, I see. I can't eat lunch with you today since I have to be somewhere. Tell me how your bento tastes!" He urged, sending me another one of his grins before walking off.

Thank god I came back during lunch. I guess I don't have anyone to sit with though.

I sighed and began walking around outside the school to find a tree to sit under of a bench. Then, I saw Noah leaning on a tree with a blanket underneath him. The tree was giving him shade and he took a few chips from his bag and took a bite. After that, he scribbled in his song writing book, repeating the same process every few seconds.

I might as well join him.

I walked up to him and sat down on the blanket with him with my legs criss-crossed. Noah didn't look up at me. I guess he didn't see me in front of him. I took out the bento Zander made for me and took a bite using chopsticks.

"Hey, is that Zander's food?" Noah asked.

I finished chewing then gulped. Afterwards, I gave him a small smile and nodded.

Noah seemed taken aback for a second.

"I used to be friends with him," he admitted, closing his song writing book.

He put it away in his bag and stared off into the distance, totally blanking out.

I had a sudden urge to press on the statement, but it seemed like he wasn't ready to talk about it either. It's odd how the guys are connected to each other or know each other either by like or dislike. It seems like Noah only likes the people not in the popular hierarchy for some reason.

I took a glance at his bag and noticed a weirdly designed deck of cards. Why don't I change the subject a little?

"What's up with those cards in your bag?" I questioned, pointing at it.

Noah immediately stopped daydreaming and turned his head to where I was pointing. Then, his face started turning red as he pulled it out to show me.

"I never really told anyone this, but I'm into tarot cards and stuff like that," he admitted, scratching the back of his neck.

I thought I knew everything about him too. I didn't know he would even be into that.

"Can you give me a reading?" I asked, smiling.

By this point, Noah's blush faded away and his stoic expression came back. He sighed, taking the cards out of the box and shuffling them in front of me.

"What's your question?" He mumbled.

I pondered for a second, tapping my chin in curiosity. Then, I finally came to a conclusion

"What's going to happen in the future?" I asked.

Noah shuffled the deck again and again while closing his eyes, muttering some words I could barely hear. Then, he slid the cards across the blanket, making all the cards visible and able to be chosen. All the cards were flipped upside down, making my choices guesswork.

"Pick three," Noah stated, leaning further back so he wasn't in my way.

I leaned over and picked up a card my gut was telling me to. I flipped it around and the card read, 'Wheel Of Fortune", and it was in the upright position. I flipped it to show to Noah in front of me.

"It means there will be a change in your life soon," He replied.

I nodded and set the card aside next to me.

Then, I leaned over again and was drawn to another card. I grabbed it and flipped it over. It was a Magician card in the reversed/upside down position.

"It means you will be tricked soon as well," Noah said.

I turned to look at him. He looked concerned and nervous as if something was eating him up inside.

I set the card near the first card I chose.

I breathed in hoping for an actual good card. As soon as I exhaled, I gripped a card that I felt like would certainly happen in the future, the one I was most confident in.

Before I could turn it, Noah grabbed is from me.

"What are you doing-"

"Sorry, there is a bug there. It's the world card which means something good," He interrupted.

The school bell rung signaling the end of lunch. I packed up my lunch and slung my bag on my shoulder. Noah didn't pack up, he just stared at the card blankly.

"Bye," I waved, but he didn't even look up or flinch.

I walked past him, hoping to catch a glimpse of the card. I couldn't see much of it, but all I saw was one word.

"Death."
