Kindle Notes & Highlights
I am not about to lose my scholarship because Mickey Mabel got caught up with friends or overslept or whatever else might be keeping him from being here. Lionswood is mine. I’ve earned this.
A little annoyed by Poppy right now because girl! You aren't seriously blaming Mickey for potentially losing your scholarship because you couldn't keep your grades up right? Not fair.
Also I'm jumping far, far ahead but is Mickey going to be murdered? Did Adrian murder him? lol
“When I was eight, my mother and I had this awful landlord who evicted us for no real reason,”
Cue the sob story
intentional wobble
Okay actress :) fight for that scholarship
To see if I’ve penetrated the doubt sown by my poor grades. One glance at Dean Robins and I know I have.
Manipulative? Good for you girl. Bag secured
The story is true – though it’s missing just a little bit of context.
Ohh...
But I don’t say either of these things. It’s easier to pity someone when they’re the only victim in the story.
Hahaha
But that story – just like the one I told tonight – is missing a little bit of context too.
OHH...
Adrian Ellis?
Sus
know I’m not the only one who has spotted Mickey’s body lying five floors down, his head cracked open like a cantaloupe on the concrete.
There it is ....
Sophie’s post has gone practically viral – an edited, black-and-white shot of her staring out her dorm window, looking forlorn in a face full of makeup and a skin-tight black sweatsuit.
Dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that girl doesn't give a shit about Mickey. She for sure only learned his name
It’s not like he’s the only Lionswood student that’s ever died.
Adrian is psychopath who murders or gets off on tormenting the scholarship kids because no ome actually cares about them. That's my prediction
her entire family after their private jet went down over the coast of Cabo.
Maybe I'm wrong ...doesn't sound like a poor scholarship kid at all
He doesn’t look shaken, but I’m sure he must be.
Your gut is right
He doesn’t look shaken, but I’m sure he must be.
You aren't thinking it in this moment but deep down you suspect he isn't
What?
EXACTLY! WHAT????
my gut still churns with uncertainty.
People only lie when they have something to hide.
YUP
As if she can feel me staring at her, the girl looks up and locks eyes with me just long enough for hers to widen with alarm.
HUH? I was thinking she might've been Mickey's girlfriend but i guess not. And this is all somehow tied to Poppy....
His voice cracks.
Another act
I do something incredibly unlike me – and snag Adrian by the sleeve of his designer suit.
You've just put your head on a chopping block
Now that gets his attention.
Ugh now I'm worried for you girl
“Is this Detective Mills?”
Nooooo let it go. Head down remember???
Mmmhm I’d feel the same way. Knowing HE knows I’m probably the one who ratted him out
Called it. Also, Detective Mills! Was that really necessary?
That you did. That you did girl
Selfish
DON’T You dare think about going
the invitation could be a gateway to an in-person confrontation.
Yes, exactly
UH OH ….
You’re far braver than I would ever be. Scared for you but you got this
they’re meant to be disarming. I realize this now.
“Is that what Mickey did before you pushed him out the window?”
o.O scurrrd
“It didn’t seem to help him very much.”
His dark eyes are empty. No humanity, no compassion – nothing for me to latch onto or change his mind with.
Cat + Mouse
Somehow, I’ve managed to end the night more poorly than I started it: with my life on tenuous terms and the attention of a murderer.
OUCH
LOL
I know no one talks to Adrian that way. You go!!
“I’m not going to hurt you, you know. I told you that at the party.”
“Actually, you didn’t say that. You said you weren’t going to kill me. Right now.”
“Exactly. So don’t give me a reason to ch...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
Of course he would look you up and use his knowledge to scare you
“So, I did my research. I wanted to learn more about you.”
YUP.
Funny. We spent our weekends the same way.
Hehehe
No, there’s no way.
What what ? What are you hiding Poppy?
Fooled me too
a step back. “You know, Poppy,” he says, “You’re
Just like he took Mickey’s journal? :0
it must be the loss of oxygen talking because the first thought that crosses my brain is: I’d like to draw him.
There, in big, swirly letters, my sign says: Adrian Ellis is a killer
NOW WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT???!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO KEEOING OUR HEAD DOWN?!GIRL
