Chapter 133: Your First Mission
The next day at school, lunch rolled around like usual, and the familiar six had claimed their usual spot in the canteen.
Jay, Joe, and Max on one side of the table. Cindy, Abby, and Sheri on the other.
Sheri had been pulled along again, though this time she hadn’t resisted much. Normally, she preferred to eat alone. Sure, a few people might sit at the same table, but they rarely said a word to her. So when Cindy basically dragged her over, she was hesitant... but deep down, a little glad to be included.
As they sat down, it didn’t take Cindy long to start talking. She wasted no time jumping into what happened the day before.
She told them about the Seaton Academy girls, about the ambush, and even mentioned that some of the girls behind it were from this very school. Of course, those girls conveniently hadn’t shown up today.
But before Cindy could finish her story,
THUD.
Jay’s fist slammed against the table.
"Those Seaton Academy girls?!" he said, eyes wide. "I can’t believe they pulled something like that, after we formed an alliance with them!"
"Hey, calm down, big guy," Joe said, raising an eyebrow. "Clearly everything worked out. I mean, just look at these three. They’re glowing." He flashed a wink that made Abby roll her eyes and Sheri look away. A shared internal cringe passed silently between them all.
Still, Jay wasn’t letting it go.
