(DARIA MILKY CASTED AS SCARLETTE MORE! I think she's stunning and the perfect amount of beauty but sneakiness for Scarlette - plus she's a natural redhead so extra points. I haven't done any other cast cards but maybe expect some more in future or other characters that I've missed - if you have any ideas lmk.)

Hi my lovelies,

Wow. 650K reads. I am eternally grateful to you. If you haven't seen the video of me crying on my instagram over this then you're definitely missing out (just kidding it's a blubbering, rambling video that is just an outburst of emotions) but I just thought I'd say thank you AGAIN. In just over three weeks we went from 600K to 650K and that's incredible.

Been loving the love on my instagram too - the pictures you guys are sending and the edits you're making are unbelievable and I'm having the best time sharing them - I'm excited for more to come through (hint hint make more pls). As well as getting to know you guys a bit better and sharing some more fun things like questions about the book and seeing your own pieces of writing!

The rest of the chapters are going to be a rollercoaster and sorry but you all can't get off - you're trapped in it till the end x

I LOVE YOU GUYS X

CHAPTER 65

.

My heart thumps against my chest. My mind whirls with ideas of what could go wrong and what might be waiting for me on the other side of those doors. Were people going to stare? Were they going to ask questions? Was it safe?

I don't know if I can do it.

"Do you think we look like the Kardashians pulling up in these cars? I hope we do because I feel so boujee."

My internal monologue of ever-impending doom-filled thoughts is interrupted as I turn to look at my best friend, my head already shaking as I see her face pressed up to the glass of the window, my laughter barely being held.

It seems like everyone in the car does the same thing, silence spilling as we wait for the brunette girl to look at us.

Of course, while I was sitting here questioning if I was about to be murdered in my maths class, Kristie is thinking about how cool we look arriving in Trent's car. She was nothing if not consistent.

It takes a moment but when she finally turns around she glances between us all in confusion.

"What?"

"I'm so happy that you're my best friend," I grin, pinching her cheek, my nerves dulling at the distraction.

Kristie repeats her question again, her chin jutted out and hands up in the air as she waits for us to explain what was funny.

"Did your village not miss you last night?" Cole asks her as he leans onto the armrest of the chair, his brows furrowed in concern.

"My village?" Kristie responds, nose crinkling at the question, "I don't really think they noticed, why?"

"Oh, no reason," he shrugs, turning back from her casually but I don't miss the wicked grin he sends to Trent as his fingers reach for the door, "I just figured they'd realise that they lost their idiot."

He's out the door by the last syllable, the 'bang' of it as it shuts indicating that he expected her to retaliate in some shape or form.

But my poor best friend just sits beside me, the wheels in her head still turning as she tries to figure out his comment.
