❝When five students with secrets of their own are chosen for a secret society, they have to move past their d...
AFTER RECEIVING A jerk-ish task from the secret society, any sane person would've either been shocked or amused but of course, Karan had to break the laws of sane humans. "How do they come with all these rhymes?" Was the first question he asked, followed by, "And how do they know we're together?"
Well, at least the second question was appropriate.
"Maybe one of them is here," West replied and looked around the café filled with students. The café was crowded--to say the least. Every booth, every table was filled with a cluster of students doing something or the other. Either way--they were too busy in their worlds to care about anyone else's. There was no way he could guess which one of them was a part of The Black Hole.
"Don't you think it's too early for the next task? We already did one last night," West said, a frown on his face.
Everyone shrugged, not knowing an answer. "Maybe we are close to finally being accepted and seeing other members' faces," Karan guessed.
"What does this Black Hole do?" West posed this question to Aphrodite who pinched her eyebrows with a perplexed look on her face. "I mean, after these tasks and stuff end. What do we do? Come up with more pranks?"
"Why are you asking me?" She shot back.
"Because you were the only one who knew about it," West said as a matter of factly. Aphrodite shrugged.
"I don't know. I'll ask my brother maybe."
"Be subtle," Lex mumbled.
"Anyway," Aphrodite changed the topic. "How are we going to do this? Where can we get the fake coins from?"
"A toy or magic store," Yumi answered.
"Okay," Aphrodite met her eyes momentarily. "When are we doing this?"
"The Sleuth Team needs time to decide that," Karan smirked.
"The what?"
"It's us--West, Yumi and me," Karan said. "We'll find out who is watching the café and what's the best time for the mission."
"What are we then?" Lex gestured at Aphrodite and himself.
"The Plan Heads. You could plan everything out and go buy fake coins. We'll need a lot of them because the café is no small place," West said.
"That's a disastrous name but we'll take it for now."

Lex drove to the main part of the town in search of a toy or magic store. The only one they could find so far was closed so they sat back and drove to the other lane. The car was neck-deep in music. Aphrodite was bobbing her head to the beats while Lex was tapping his finger on the steering wheel.
