“You boys shouldn’t be here” He went to get up, but Gideon stopped hi him down
“We shouldn’t be here? I want to kno you’re still in this school,” Gideon said “Why did you attack Fred? Why did you burn down the library with Heather inside?”
“Look, I got my orders like everyone else,” Coach Bilson said “I was told to make sure that kid wouldn’t talk”
“You failed there,” I said
He glared atto do with Heather”
“What about this?” Sian asked, holding up a length of her hair
“Nor that Why would I cut your beautiful hair when I had so many plans for it?”
“What plans?” Mateo asked
Coach Bilson laughed “You all think you’re playing in the big leagues, don’t you? You’re not even close It was just such a shame she caved to you I knohat I would have done with that tight cherry”
Gideon grabbed Coach’s shirt “You better not even fucking look at her”
“Not only a to own her You boys don’t deserve her You were all bark, no bite Fucking useless, if hed “None of you have what it takes to be a leader”
“But you do?” I asked, stepping close
“Arrangements are always made, boys Backup plans Your dads should have warned you about that”
“What are you talking about?” Sian asked
“It’s simple, isn’t it?” Coach asked “Alexander was the backup plan with your mom, and well, I’m yours, princess”

Just then, our dads caht fit
“You kids need to go home,” Lucas said
“Dad, what the fuck are you doing here?”

“It o back ho on,” Lucas said “I won’t tell you again”
