But first, Nick had to die
After finally being liberated from his detention, Nick wanted to hunt dohoever had hued for rier
His stoy, Caleb, and LaShonda The son of two scientists, Madaug was one of the s about everything And like Nick, he felt invisible unless one of their resident bullies needed someone to kick or shove into a locker Just under six feet tall, Madaug had dark blond curly hair and bright blue eyes He alore glasses, and preferred hoodies over all other attire
LaShonda was one of the prettiest girls in the school Barely an inch shorter than Madaug, she had a pair of hazel brown eyes that practically glowed And her dark brown hair was ever changing This week, she wore it straightened and to her shoulders She’d been one of Brynna’s best friends since second grade and the two of theether
"Are we it?" Nick asked, dropping his backpack next to Caleb’s
LaShonda’s eyes sparkled furiously "Everyone else banged out They didn’t want to be on a committee with a slut like Brynna" She curled her lip "I take that back, but I won’t repeat what soust etbreath, then frowned at Madaug "Boy genius? Any chance you can shed soainst her?"
"I wish, but they deleted it from Tendyk’s computer i over it Since it’s legally considered child porn, they were afraid of a lawsuit Head is hoping he can scare someone into a confession"
"Yeah, ’cause that works so well on hoodluuys, but without Brynna, I really don’t want to do this Screw the dance Let the jerks show up to an eo ho to call her, but she won’t pick up"
Kody folded her arms over her chest "I think we all want to check on her"
Nick agreed "I’ve been over it a thousand tiure out who or why anyone would do this to her Shon? You have any ideas?"
"None It’s not like she goes around collecting ene about Brynna, here Has there ever been a nicer person created? Ever?"
Nick would say his mother, but he didn’t want them to mock him for it
LaShonda checked her phone "Why don’t we call in a rain check and do this on Monday? Hopefully, Bryn will be back by then"
Nick nodded "Sounds like a plan Are you going over to Brynna’s fro"
LaShonda patted hi shrugged his backpack over his shoulder "I wish I could have seen the photos"
Caleb arched his brow at the co snapped as he realized what Caleb was thinking "I don’t want to see her in any kind of graphic portrayal, but I know the pictures had to be Photoshopped If I had a copy, I could prove it"
Nick scoffed "Given how foul they were, you’re better off not seeing thelasses back up on the bridge of his nose "You know, I tried to invent eye-bleach when I was a kid Didn’t work out, though But I haven’t given up One day, I will find a way to erase recent e"

Madaug retrieved his hoodie "I’ll see y’all tomorrow"
Nick didn’t speak until he was alone with Kody and Caleb "Is there really no way to do sos you two do to find out as behind it?"
Caleb snorted "Nice rhy I have to trace it"
Kody dittoed Caleb’s sympathy and his comment
Nick checked his watch "Fine I need to head over to Kyrian’s for work anyway"
Caleb retrieved his backpack "I’ll walk you over"
Nick hated the thought of being walked home like he was incompetent "Not your prom date, Cay Don’t want to be, neither"
"Have no fear You’re too hairy for my tastes, Gautier And no offense, you’re not pretty or sexy enough to change theaped "Now that was just hurtful and mean Why you want to hurt me in my tender place like that, cher? Don’t let this calhed at them "I swear, there are ti, and I feel like the third wheel"
"Ah, baby," Nick said with a grin "You know better You’re the only girl for me Caleb is no competition whatsoever for you"
Caleb shoved Nick’s backpack at hi, Nick opened the door that led to the back hallway, then froze as he saw a sraffiti someone had painted across several lockers
