at the edge of the woods
Lukas's PoV
"But in the first place, where do we find Ivor?" Jess asked, stumbling through the woods and shaking off imaginary spiderwebs from her arms.
"I don't know," I said truthfully. Stopping at the edge of the woods, the town spread out before us. "We find Aiden, we find Ivor." Jess said, walking towards the town. "No," I exclaimed, "You're forgetting. Aiden was never friends with Ivor. They wouldn't be seen together."
Jess threw up her hands. "Then- the school." she said, glancing to the school building which was at least a fifteen minute walk. "But there's no lessons today!" Jess called as I started making my way to the school.

The yearbook. The yearbook. Where was it? "Would you please tell me what you're looking for?" Jess asked, standing behind me as I rummaged through the carton of books to find that one yearbook.
"Why is it that whenever I need something, it doesn't turn up? And when I don't need it, it shows up?" I huffed, sitting down at the last box. "What are you looking for?" Jess asked, sounding a little impatient. "The yearbook. At least that can confirm Ivor's name."
Jess rolled her eyes playfully and walked over to me. I watched as she took hold of a drawer's handle and pulled it out. "There you go." Jess said, nodding to the yearbooks. "Why didn't you tell me where they were?" I asked her as I looked through all of them.
Jess sighed, "Because you didn't tell me what were you looking for you-." "Found him!" I exclaimed, holding out the glossy yearbook. There in front of us was Ivor, his pale face and dark hair. "Weird. Doesn't Petra have auburn hair?" Jess asked, squinting at Ivor's picture.
"They're not twins, it says here that Ivor was born two years earlier than Petra." I said, pointing to the worn out numbers on the front cover. "Sometimes you can be really dumb and really smart at the same time, can't you?" Jess muttered as I kept the book in my bag. "What isn't that stealing?!" Jess exclaimed, standing up.
"Just borrowing." I said, standing up as well. "Great." Jess said, "But if you already know what does Ivor look like, why did you take that?" "Oh." I said sheepishly. "Your stupidity is showing." Jess laughed as we exited the room after I had put back the yearbook.
"So now we can find Ivor around town." I said but was interrupted by two very familiar people. "Hold on." I said, looking at them as they walked over to us.
"What brings you here?" I asked Axel and Olivia as Jesse looked at Axel as he towered over us. "Oh. We just wanted a walk. Petra's awake, did you know that?" Axel added, glaring at me all of a sudden. Oh. Jess smiled a little and took my arm. "We better get going. We gotta find someone."
As soon as they disappeared from view, Jess let go of my arm. "Now they think we're fugitives." Jess muttered. "Maybe not fugitives but just... ah nevermind. Let's just find Ivor and just make them get on our good side." I said.
