Chapter 20

It was eight-thirty in the morning when I stood on the hallway between my room and Lulu's. She could still be asleep. I headed to the stairs, stopped, my foot hovering on the first step. What if she was already awake and wanted coffee? Going back to her door, I pressed my ear on the wood, listening for signs of activity. It was incredibly quiet inside.

The door swung forward, catching me by surprise. I seized the knob mid-fall and straightened, heart hammering, embarrassed by being found. "You could have knocked," Lulu said, one hand on the handle, smirking. "I'm not even going to ask. Come in."

"I thought you're still dreaming." I felt it safest to sit on the bed as it was the only spot that didn't contain her weird things. The rest, like her bookshelf, desk, chairs, and a big space on the floor were full. "What are you up to?" I asked.

"Considering I've woken an hour ago, I've only had time to pee once, check my social media accounts, and brush my teeth. But thank you for asking. That was thoughtful of you." She laughed. I grabbed the nearest thing on the bed, a pink Victoria's Secret plush dog, and threw it her way to get even. The stuffed toy skidded to a stop on her feet. "Something on your mind? You don't look quite yourself." Lulu gestured to my clothes, forcing me to look down. My fluffy slippers were miswore, my green shirt was inside out, and a glance at the mirror on the wall told me that there was dry toothpaste stuck on the corner of my mouth.

I looked away and wiped. "I was in a hurry. Research and stuff awaits."

"Don't kid yourself," she said. "Your website is doing great. I checked it last night. The hits are fairly high. The research is coming together too." She picked up the dog and placed it on her book tower. "Do you need me to talk to Casper for you? I'll call him even if I don't want to hear his voice if it means that you'll wear your bunny slippers right again." She puckered her lips to tease me.

"Real mature right there," I said. "Look who's still playing with dolls."

"Voodoo dolls are not for kids."

I kicked my slippers off and placed my feet on the bed. "I was talking about the plush dog. And just so you know, I don't want you to call Casper. He'll overreact, come here, and whoop my ass." That's why we didn't tell him about the experiment either. Sorry, bro.

"Then call Lynx," she said. "You've been obsessed with her lately." I opened my mouth to argue. "Zip it, Scottie. I'm just saying that maybe you're feeling anxious because she hasn't kept her end of the bargain. If you're worried about finding her since she hasn't been to the Midnight Cafe, you can take the matter in your own hands. When did anything ever stop you?" Her advice was like rain washing away the dirt of my muddled thoughts.
