Lia banged her locker close but she wasn't startled to see Ben, she had sensed him moments ago. 

"Well, look who had a great night too," She said ironically. 

One look at his face and one need not be told, Ben hadn't slept a wink. There were prominent dark circles under his eyes not to mention his red blurry eyes. 

"You don't look too good either " He pointed out, adjusting the weight of his backpack over his shoulder.

"And then my siblings found out about me "

"Awesome " Ben commented, "I can imagine the look on Trevor's face "

"My brother is a pain in the ass " Lia sighed, running her hands through her hair. 

"Well on my side, Alexa wants me to find her murderer "

"Alright - Wait, what?! " Lia was shocked, "Which of the Alexa are you talking about? "
