Chapter 23: CHAPTER 23

　　He’s dressed in all black even though today was like a hundred degrees, and everything is zipped up and closed tight, so his body must not be able to breathe. With his black leather biker jacket over jeans and boots but no sign of his helmet. He must have had these clothes in his backpack during class because he left in his uniform.

　　“Please tell me you did not drive like this?” I’m irritated by his appearance, his state of sobriety, and generally him, pushing past him to yank him inside and close the door properly. Cursing mentally that this idiot might have done something illegal and endangered his life in the process.

　　Having him appear like that has made me nervous about leaving it open now. I never heard him coming up the tree, so I would not hear anyone else doing it either, and that makes me scared as I mentally put a tick note to never leave it open at night again. It didn’t set off the house alarm or the floodlights, so he must have cut through the tees from the left.
