Sorry so much about the huge distance between chapters but life is pretty hectic and unfortunately, updates will always be odd. Sorry about that. BTW - bold and underlined is Ellie and italics is Cameron.

Race day was only two days away so I could not miss a practice if I didn't want to be verbally abused by Mrs Haney. No matter how much Will didn't like it I had to go.

Besides, something did not add up about Cameron. Marco might be lodging in his house but what was the thing with the jacket and does he have anything to do with the legend?

That's why I had to risk both Will's and Mr Morton's wrath to find out. You know what they say. Curiosity killed the cat – but satisfaction brought it back. Except for the part where people can't come back from the dead, supposedly.

Anyway, I have to get out of the house without raising suspicion, talk to Cameron without anyone knowing and then find out subtly the answers I need.

Easier said than done, but I have my ways, or paper in the form of an aeroplane flying onto his desk when the teacher wasn't looking. The reply came swiftly.

We need to talk. E

No way, did you not see the way I was almost killed by your green monster.

He's not a monster Cameron, he's just overprotective sometimes and you gave him good reason to be.

No one is that protective of a high school girlfriend Ellie.

That hurt. I was not just some high school girlfriend; I loved Will no matter what he did. Our relationship will last the distance of schools. Won't it? Ye-

I was quickly cut off when a ball of paper smacked into my head discreetly.

Stop daydreaming. What did you want to talk about?

What happened after we went to get pizza, you just don't add up.

Add up to what?

Never mind, I just need to talk to you. I don't know when or where but I'll figure it out.

You mean you have to get away from your green monster and his lacheys.

I'm only going to tell you once more, he is not a green monster. But yes, that's what I have to do.

How hard can getting away from one teenage guy be?

Have you seen Will, the whole school is at his refuge and you've made him take advantage of it.

That was always his choice I never made him do anything. Do you know how much my life sucks right now?

No, but I can understand and as much as I hate to say it I do not think Will is doing the right thing by doing this. He's letting his emotions cloud rational thinking, so yes, I'm going to help you.

Your one to talk, you're the reason. But thanks, I need al the help I can get. But won't this be like betraying Will?

Yep, and if he finds out I don't think he will forgive me but that's why he won't find out. Besides, he wouldn't listen to rational thinking even if I did try to talk to him.

Ok, what about my phone number? When you have some time text me and I'll meet you somewhere.

No probs. I think I can get your number.

Stacey, Liz and Rocky have it anyway.

Oh shit, did Mr Jacobson say something about homework?
