Rita Tory ~ 19:37

So you're dating him.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:37

What do you mean?

Rita Tory ~ 19:37

You're with Jean.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:37

How is that your business?

Rita Tory ~ 19:38

I saw you two, running off, after pranking Caitlyn, laughing together.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:38

And?

Rita Tory ~ 19:38

Well, I was just wondering if it is actually official.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:39

It's none of your business.

"Is that Rita again?" Jean asks me from across the room. I nod slowly, glancing back down at my phone as it vibrates again.

Rita Tory ~ 19:39

Okay, when you figure out who I am, you will realise that everything is my business.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:40

Maybe I don't want to find out who you are.

Rita Tory ~ 19:40

Why wouldn't you?

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:40

Because I have a feeling I'll be disappointed. Now, you're just a faceless, nameless friend. Whether I'm with Jean or not doesn't matter. He's leaving in a few weeks.

I suddenly realise Jean is leaving in less than three weeks.

"Jean?" I call. He looks up from the book.

"Yeah?"

"You're, uh, leaving in a while."

"What?" He asks with a confused face.

"You're going to go back to France, right?"

"Yeah, I have to."

I start nibbling on my nails again nervously, peeling the nailpolish I was wearing on my right thumb completely off. I groan. Ugh, why am I even wearing nail polish in the first place? That's not me.

Rita Tory ~ 19:41

Yeah, I guess so.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:41

At what point are you just going to tell me who you are?

Rita Tory ~ 19:41

Maybe I don't want to tell you who I am either... When you know you're not going to see me the same way.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:42

So I'm assuming you're Luke, or Caleb or something?

Rita Tory ~ 19:42

Too close for comfort, yet nowhere near.

I sigh. There really is no way. They're obviously not going to 'fess up in a hurry. I'm guessing that when Jean is gone I will be able to do some more detective work and unmask whoever it is.

Zoe Meyer ~ 19:42

I don't understand.

Rita Tory ~ 19:42
