LETHAL

chapter 3

"Valenie? Ra- I mean Ale will be coming to get you in his car. He will be here any minute!" Enzo spoke casually and I looked back at Val in horror. What the hell. This was not the plan! The plan was to have a friends night out with Asher, Enzo, Ale, me and Val. Then what the hell changed?

Val seemed confused herself. "Um, what?"

"There was a change in plan. Ale and you will be going somewhere else." He stated begrudgingly

"Why was I not informed?" Valenie seemed perplexed and my frown deepened? Where the hell will I go?

"I don't know. You can ask Ale when he comes." Enzo shrugged and I shuffled into my seat uncomfortably.

"But Amelia is with me! Where will she go?" Valenie asked what the question that was in my mind? Yes, where will I go if Ale takes her away?

"She'll be coming with us to the club. Simple." Enzo shrugged again and I almost glared at him hard. Why did this feel so casual when it was not?

"Wha-" Valenie was cut short with a loud honk behind our car.

"Ale is here!" Enzo spoke and he couldn't have gotten out any fast. It looked he wanted to be anywhere but here.

We both also followed him out of the car and saw Ale talking to Enzo.

"Ale, what's the plan now? I told you I won't get permission if I don't bring Amelia along!" Valenie felt like she would burst out any moment.

"Hello to you too babe." Ale smiled mockingly at Val as he snaked his arm around her shoulder.

"Hey, but Ale you need to spill the beans!" She sounded irritated now.

"Relax, now that you are out of your house with her, I am sure your parents won't find out that you went alone with me." Ale reasoned and Val sighed.

"This is not how this is supposed to be. Where will she go? I mean, we thought it was a friends night out!" She said and I felt like I should now mingle in.

"Guys," I stepped near all three of them. "It's alright." I shrugged, pulling my coat closer to my body, feeling the cold chills running down my spine.

"What's alright Amelia?" Val questioned and all their eyes were trained on me.

"I mean, Valenie you and Ale can go, I'll be with Enzo till you guys get back." I smiled a little to make sure I was convincing enough.

"But Lia-"

"Valenie, please. It's your date alright? Go and enjoy, I'll be fine!" I smiled brightly trying to assure her.

She gazed at my eyes before nodding and hugging me tightly. "Alright. I guess I'll see you later!" She whispered and I nodded.

"Common. And thanks, Amelia." Ale said dragging Valenie with him to his car.

I sighed turning to look at Enzo who was already watching me.

"What?" I asked suddenly conscious.

"Nothing. Come on. Let's move from here. Asher must be waiting for us!" He said ushering me to his car.

I reluctantly nodded and settled into the passenger seat.

I just hope the night goes well.
