Chapter 44 Mia

• Oh my gosh! What is happening? This is totally messing up my plans! As soon as the headmasters and teachers left the venue, after they checked the coast and figured it was clear, we were ushered out of the hotel through a different exit route from the one we used earlier. Randomly, we were assigned to different cars and told that the party was at a different venue and that the cars would take us there.
• I was panicking. I had already learned the layout of this hotel and was ready to execute my plan. My plan was simple: I would let Tracy write my name on Derek’s bang list. When I first mentioned this idea to Tracy, she looked panicked, then angry, and finally disappointed. But I knew what I was doing. I had thought about it thoroughly. There was no other way to get close to Derek sooner, so I opted for the bang list despite his nasty rumors.
• But I had a plan—a way to keep myself safe. After I was left alone in a room with him, I would be able to escape. At the hotel, I had already gotten a basic layout. As soon as I heard that it would be at this hotel, I went to the staff, pretending to be part of the planning committee for the party, and asked for the layout. I made sure to get details on all the rooms’ emergency exits in case of an emergency, so I was prepared.
