I ran right into them, my tablet case clunking to the ground in my surprise at the impact. I bent down, trying not to let my irritation show or betray any other anomalous response, but then I looked up and saw it was Adrien. My eyes widened just a fraction before I made my face blank again. He’d dropped his tablet case too with the impact and he stooped to the ground at the same time, too. I’d had a twinge in my stomach all day at the thought of seeing Adrien again, but now that he was here in front of me, I didn’t know what question to ask first. “I have a way to get into your house unnoticed,” he whispered, turning his head toward mine but keeping it facing the ground. “I’ll meet you in your bedroom at eight tomorrow.” I opened my mouth to speak, but he didn’t give me the chance. “I’ll answer any questions tomorrow,” he whispered quickly, then stood up. I sat another moment watching after him, dumbfounded. His tall, lanky body quickly disappeared around a corner.
