Entry 12: Plan I – Retaliation

Date: April 5, 2013

“I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about,” I said soothingly into the phone.

“What do you mean it’s nothing to worry about?” the phone screeched back at me, causing me to cringe and pull it away from my ear.

“Delilah, what I’m trying to say is—”

“My parents and the entire school finding out that Mr. Lancaster and I have been having sex is something to worry about, Seven!” Delilah half-whispered half-yelled on the other side of the line.

I sighed exasperatedly. “Well, who told you guys to go at it in school?” I snapped and for a moment Delilah was stunned into silence.

I normally wouldn’t have gotten mad at anyone coming to me for advice or telling me their problems, even when they’d gotten really annoying already, but I wasn’t exactly in the best shape that morning.

Being woken up by a phone call before the sun even had the chance to rise was one of the factors contributing to it.

The other was that I was angry at myself for not getting a move on taking the black notebook back and even choosing to hold off any plans for two days since I’d last seen Colin.

It wasn’t like it was because of my losing the black notebook that Delilah and Mr. Lancaster got caught—it was their own fault, actually—but I still felt guilty over the fact that other people might go through the same thing she was going through right then if I didn’t get it back as soon as possible.

Delilah’s voice cracked as she stuttered, “W-We didn’t think anyone w-would be at school since its spring break…”

Apparently Delilah and Mr. Lancaster had been together for weeks now. At first I thought it was only one-sided, but when Delilah found out that Mr. Lancaster was going back to school to gather some papers he’d forgotten, she decided to drop him a visit. She was thinking only of a brief make out, but it ended up getting way further than either of them had planned.

Unfortunately, one of the teachers had gone back to the office as well to check something on their computer, and caught the two doing forbidden things on the floor.

I dragged a hand over my face and said into the phone, “He said he was going to properly ask you out after you graduated, right? You were willing to wait for that. Why couldn’t you wait before doing…you know, that?”

“We were planning to, but I don’t know! It just—it just happened,” she cried. “I am so dead. I’m never going to graduate after this mess and my parents won’t trust me with anything anymore and—”

“Delilah,” I sighed, “calm down. Breathe.” The girl had asthma, for goodness’ sake. I heard short quick intakes of breath and then the sound of an inhaler.

“Right, I’m sorry, Seven,” Delilah told me, her voice wavering, “it’s just—I thought I had everything in control but it’s all slipping through my fingers. I wish time would just stop…”

“Look, Delilah, I’m pretty
