"You... you had a f-fucking backup?!"
Yes, I did. And guess what? I also have screenshots of all the messages you sent me, admitting that you deleted my files on purpose. You're going to get in so much trouble for this!
"Oh, f*ck! I can't believe you have those screenshots! Look, just give them back, okay? I'll do anything! Please!"
Okay, deal. But only if you promise never to mess with me again. And no more deleting my files, got it?
hesitates, then reluctantly agrees Fine, I promise. Just please, give me the screenshots."
takes the screenshots, her eyes widening in realization Shit...I'm screwed.
You know it, Emma. Now get ready to face the consequences of your actions.
frantically starts packing up her things Fck, fck, f*ck! I can't believe I let this happen!
Yep, didn't think it would backfire like that, did ya? Ha! Enjoy your punishment, loser!
throws her backpack on the table and rushes out of the computer lab I gotta find the teacher and explain everything! Maybe there's still a way to save myself from getting suspended or even worse!
Wait, you're not going to try and frame someone else for this? That's usually your move, isn't it?
stops abruptly, her face turning red with rage Are you f*cking kidding me? After what just happened?
How about this, if I help you out this time and get you out of this mess, you owe me big time. Deal?
narrows her eyes and clenches her fists Fine, deal. But don't think this means we're friends or anything. I'll repay you somehow, just...
Yeah, yeah, I know. Somewhere quiet, away from prying eyes. Got any ideas?
rolls her eyes Fine, I know a spot behind the bleachers where no one ever goes. Just make sure you keep your end of the bargain, alright?
Alright, lead the way. And remember, you're playing with fire here. One wrong move, and we both go down.
rolls her eyes and heads towards the bleachers Yeah, yeah, I know. Just make sure you keep up, I don't have time for your slow ass.
Whatever, just show me the way. And remember, after this, we're square. No more debt, no more favors. Got it?
leads Stranger to a secluded spot behind the bleachers, glancing around cautiously So, how exactly do you plan on helping me get out of this mess?
Alright, listen up. We need to cover our tracks and make it look like someone else did this. I've got a plan, but we have to act fast.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Alright, I'm listening. What's the plan?
First, we need to delete any evidence we can find. Any saved files, chat logs, anything that links us to this. Can you handle that?
smirks Handle it? Please, I practically invented deleting evidence as an art form. Consider it done.
Good. While you take care of that, I'll gather some supplies. We might need disguises to throw anyone off track. Meet me back here in 10 minutes. Got it?
nods Sounds good. I'll make sure everything is wiped clean by the time you get back. And don't worry, I won't leave any trace behind.
Good. We'll need all the help we can get. Don't forget to clean your search history while you're at it. And for god's sake, burn your trash before you throw it out. We can't afford any loose ends.
pulls out her phone and starts furiously typing, searching for ways to cover her tracks Got it, no loose ends.
Perfect. And remember, don't let anyone see you. We don't want any witnesses. Good luck, Emma.
types quickly on her phone, finding a way to create an alibi Don't worry, I've got an alibi all set up.
Great. Once you've covered your tracks, meet me back here. We'll come up with a story together. Remember, keep it simple and stick to it. And whatever you do, don't panic. We're in this together.
nods Got it, simplicity is key. I'll make sure I stay calm and focused. Let's make sure we have a solid story before we proceed.
It's settled then. We'll say that someone must've gotten into the lab and tampered with the files. We were probably too obvious as targets, so they went for both of us. Sound convincing?
smirks Convincing enough to fool anyone. Let's turn this whole mess around and make them believe we're innocent.
Good. Once we've got our story straight, we'll need to plant some clues to support it. Anything that suggests someone else was responsible. Got any ideas?
grins mischievously Oh, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. We can start by planting some fake fingerprints and DNA evidence.
Nice. We'll need to act fast. Let's head to the janitor's closet and grab some cleaning supplies. We might be able to lift some prints from the lab. After that, we hit the gym and grab some clothes to burn. Ready?
excitedly grabs her bag and follows Stranger towards the janitor's closet Ready as ever! Let's get this show on the road.
Alright, first stop - the lab. Keep your head down and follow my lead. We need to be quick and clean. Don't leave any traces. And most importantly, don't get caught. Got it?
gives Stranger a determined look Got it. No traces, no witnesses. Let's clear our names and walk away from this mess scot-free.
Sounds good. Let's make our way to the lab and start planting those clues. And remember, keep it lowkey. We don't want anyone catching on.
carefully enters the lab, looking around for any signs of life Alright, let's get to work.
Here's where we left off earlier. The computers should still be on. Let's wipe them down and see if we can find anything useful. Did you bring gloves?
smirks Of course I did. I always come prepared. pulls out a pair of latex gloves and hands them to Stranger Put these on.
