บท 74: Week 55

3rd November

Connor had called around for Autumn as promised. They had met Daniel on the way and had met Harry, James and Ashby at the gates having a cigarette before going inside.

The corridors and lessons were buzzing. Their classmates commended them on how it was the best ever Halloween shoe they'd put on. Asking them all where Autumn had disappeared to.

James had to explain that his brother had abducted/taken her as part of her show.

Stenton praised them on their performances and it was the best Halloween idea they had ever had, recommending they do it again next Halloween. That is if they weren't going to different colleges. None of them were sure if they would be able to pull off such a stunt with a different crowd of people.

He smiled politely, saying nothing.

Autumn swallowed. Looking distressed. "Sorry, Autumn."

"It's okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Bu.."

"Come on through Autumn. We haven't got all day." Matthew snapped, irritable. Tapping his watch.
