Page 103 of What Happened to Lucy Vale
@badprincess:um, I’m sorry? Reese . . . ?
@sunshineandhugs:Reese Steeler-Cox.
@spinn_doctor:very funny
@badprincess:RSC wants to joinOurserver??
@spinn_doctor:and who are you @sunshineandhugs? Who let you in here?
@sunshineandhugs:it’s Charlotte.
@sunshineandhugs:Charlotte Anderson.
@sunshineandhugs:we heard Akash set up a Discord server to help find Lucy Vale
Even Spinnaker didn’t dare correct her. It was an extraordinary turn of events, completely unprecedented. We were, of course, suspicious. All of us knew that Charlotte Anderson and Reese Steeler-Cox had once catfished Harper Rowe in seventh grade, permanently icing her out of theEchelon. We couldn’t believe that a single member of the Student Council Mafia would deign to grace our server with her presence, much less two of them. On the other hand, only someone like Charlotte Anderson—a Hello Kitty fanatic and Pinterest apologist—would choose a handle as flagrantly banal as @sunshineandhugs.
We rounded on Akash. We weren’t sure whether to count it as a coup or a betrayal. First Savannah Savage, Bailey Lawrence, and the other Strut Girls started following his socials. Now, suddenly, he was friendly with the Student Council Mafia.
@highasakyle:dude, since when do you know Reese Steeler-Cox, @kash_money?
@kash_money:since I found out who was putting threats in Lucy’s locker
@badprincess:it was RSC??I knew it
@sunshineandhugs:it wasn’t Reese!! She would never
@kash_money:no, Ceecee
@badprincess:??
@nononycky:our Ceecee?
@nononycky:from the front office?
@kash_money:she’s notourCeecee
@kash_money:she’s married to a Steeler
@sunshineandhugs:can we please admit Reese?
@sunshineandhugs:she’s texting me
@badprincess:this is so chaotic
@brentmann:I thought Reese hated Lucy
@sunshineandhugs:Reese doesn’t hate anyone
@sunshineandhugs:she’s worried about Lucy
@sunshineandhugs:she tried to warn her to stay away from Noah Landry
@sunshineandhugs:she was afraid something like this would happen
For a moment we were all ricocheted back to January and the blow of cold air in our chests. Charlotte Anderson wasn’t done.
@sunshineandhugs:the Vales should never have come back here
