"Have you seen Curry?" I ask Maverick as soon as I see him. I really need to see her and talk to her. She is been ghosting my calls and texts which only prove very right what I already know. He shrugs, "No. I don't think she will come today, or tomorrow.
She must be joining in the search for her lover."
"What do you mean?"
"Haven't you heard? Courtney is missing." He announces matter-of-factly.
My strides came to a halt. "What?"
"Oh shit! I have to go! I have to give Gary his assignment. See ya!" He runs off without an explanation.
I thought of it as an incredulous piece of information. But later I learned it was true. It is what everyone is talking about. Maverick says it was even covered on the news. Several police agents had come by during third class period for questioning. They went to see the principal first before asking Courtney's friends and a bunch of others.
