JOIN THE UNDEAD BIKERS!
There was a post on MeHive. Milly tapped on the hexagon and saw the post. There was a video of Jojo with a blow torch and he set a wheelie bin on fire. There were a couple of other boys that looked one or two years older with him laughing. It was too dark outside to see their faces properly - but Milly could tell from the red hair and his voice that it was Jojo.
What was happening to Jojo? Milly had always thought of him as the straggler in the group - the quiet one who was never quite convinced that he was in or out. Milly really didn’t know who he was - but certainly not a delinquent who burned stuff down.
The post was up for only a few hours before it was taken down. It was likely reported.
Buzz…
Jacelyn: Milly dearest! You will want to hear what I have to say about your relationship. The very future may depend on it.
The… future??40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOPE44Bcns

Monday morning was sure buzzing. Jojo was the talk of the school. Everyone was gossiping and gawking at him. The Undead Bikers page had multiple videos of not just arson, but drug use, mugging, and violence. Although Jojo hadn’t done any of those things. It was just that this story was for the first time circulated among “normal” people, rather than a small niche community of baddies.
“Jojo what are you doing?” Stevie asked.
”You will see in time, beautiful…” Jojo said.
Stevie recoiled at the name. She didn’t even want to recognise it.
”I am going to ignore the creepiness. You can’t hang out with those guys… This edgy persona isn’t you…” Stevie said.
Milly had just arrived on the last couple of words that Jojo had said.
”Milly, you should join us… This world is cruel and has been bad to you, me, and every unpopular kid. It is our time to rule this world…” Jojo said with a evil glint in his eye.
”What are you even talking about?” Milly said, “Rule this world?”
”You seem to be happy now that you are with Zahra - your victimiser - but deep down you know you are only going to get hurt…” Jojo said.
”Shut up man…” Stevie said.

Viraj entered the hallway and was coming straight at Jojo, “You and your undead bikers egged my girlfriend's moms car. What the heck is wrong with you?”
“You dumbasses got Damien in trouble… It was vengeance served cold,” Jojo scoffed.
”Damien? So that’s the asshole who attacked us with a knife… He could have killed someone you dumbass!” Viraj shouted and the whole corridor got quiet. Jojo looked at the floor and tensed his fist and wanted to punch Viraj.
”Shove off,” Jojo shouldered Viraj and left down the hall.
“What is with that guy?” Viraj said.
”It’s because FilmSoc was ruined,” Milly said, “He had no one else…”
Stevie said nothing. Viraj looked at them with a sadness which firmed up.
”There is no excuse for what they did. They hurt Luds. They vandalised her mom’s car… They are going to kill someone - and I’m not going to let them do it…” Viraj said sternly.
Rosa and Zahra walked over to Viraj as he said the last line; Rosa grabbed him and they left together. Zahra stayed behind and asked if she wanted to hang out after school. Milly said that she was getting Nachos with Jacelyn.
“Okay have fun,” she said, and then they all walked to class.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNr4WxVwVC

“The nachos are on me,” Jacelyn laughed as they sat at a Mexican restaurant called Taco Paradise.
”Actually they are on me,” her Dad said, bringing out a large platter and a couple of cokes.
“Thanks…” Milly said nervously. Jacelyn had this charm and charisma that was intimidating. Milly shrunk a bit and timidly ate the nachos.
”Woah!” Milly said. The nachos were really good. The beef mince had this amazing zing and spice. The beans were soft and the chilli flavour was out of this world. The chips were toasted to perfection.
”I know I know… Dad is a genius,” Jacelyn said.
Milly was starting to think everyone else’s parents were better at cooking as she always got stinking tuna. Not to disrespect Mom and Mama… But still… Stinking Tuna…
“Now to business. You are sitting with Zahra on the bus. You are talking about your favourite music. Something by Destiny, I suppose. You share earpods. Then what do you do? Hold hands of course…” Jacelyn said.
Milly blushed. But it was true. And the Destiny part was not far off. They did talk about music like that. And Milly would always reach out to hold Zahra’s hand.
”Um… yeah… why are we talking about this and what does it have to do with the future?” Milly said nervously.
”Ah… Jacelyn thinks she can read people, and knows everything,” her Dad said from the kitchen.
”Dad, go away. And yes, I do know everything!” Jacelyn yelled, “Any who… Milly do you know what PDA is?”
”P…DA?” Milly said.
”Public Displays of affection,” Jacelyn said.
”Ohh! I’ve heard of that,” Milly said.
”Hate to break it to you. I'm feeling like Zahra doesn’t like PDA,” Jacelyn said.
Now that she mentioned it - whenever they were outside she could only hold Zahra’s hands for a few moments before she pulled away, but whenever they were in the pocket - they were inseparable.
“The future of your relationship depends on your communication with Zahra on the matter,” Jacelyn said. Jacelyn was poking deep in the relationship, but Milly didn’t mind too much. If it were Zahra or Stevie then Jacelyn would get a big “mind your own business.”
Milly wanted things to work out with Zahra. PDA, huh?
