Chapter 1
"𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗻, get back here !"
Jaeden exclaimed playfully as Finn grabbed his script and began waving it around, teasing him. They were literally friendship goals. I watched him while smiling slightly, amused.
But quickly looked away from them when Gabriel sat next to me, and wrapped his arms around me.
Gosh, was he cute.
I hugged him back, giving him a gentle peck on the cheek.
"Hey, baby.."
"Hey.."
I heard my phone giving a small ding. I let him go slightly, and reached for my Huawei Y6p phone, which my mum has just bought me. Because we weren't that rich to buy an iPhone.
It was a message, from my brother Rajwan. Him and my other brother Adam had been working on a 'research' concerning my old school, Notre Dame de Sión.
Of course, our mum didn't know about it, because she wouldn't care.
I took a brief glance at the message my brother sent me. It was a black-and-white picture of about 28 girls, wearing uniforms.
And next to them was a nun, smiling creepily to the camera.
They saw something is wrong with the picture. I can't figure it out. Can you ?
I knew who the nun was, apparently. It was Mary Georgette, who had died about thirty years ago. She was the main reason for our little search.
I passed the phone to Gabriel, a confused look on my face.
"What's wrong with this picture ?"
He inspected it for a moment, then shook his head, passing my phone over.
"No. Sorry, baby, I don't see anything.."
"No, don't worry about it. I hope I will find out soon though."
He gave me a small smile.
"Come on, people. Time for the first meeting ever !"
Steven Clark, our director spoke.
"As you all may know, we're starting to film The Night Everything Fell Apart real soon. Me and Adam (Sandler) have picked the best location for the movie. Castle Manor."
He then began to show us pictures of an old, three-story mansion. It was quite neat, despite its dark, rambling appearance.
"So, what do you all think of it ?"
"Um, it looks alright."
"Yeah, it's cool. How did you rent it ?"
"I got in touch with a person online, a real state broker, and he rented it to me for 5000 dollars a month."
"Really, that's it ?"
Ty questioned, an uncertain look on his face.
"Yes, it was an awesome deal, so why not ?"
I nodded along with the others, despite the unsettling feeling I had in the pit of my stomach.
Later that day, I went home to tell my mum about the news. I knew she would disapprove, so I let Aunt Sabah talk to her and convince her for me.
Too easy.
"Sure thing, but don't let anyone touch you. If you know what I mean."
She spoke in Arabic, then started her really long lecture about how should I be unique, and shouldn't let anyone put me down and blah, blah, blah.
I had to listen to the lecture and agree on what she said, but in the end, I was packing my bags.
Like I said, too easy.
