Na, he is out of secrets, onto the next day.

Jerry is startled out of his musings of the future with the realization that he is fucking cold. The excitement and adrenaline had kept him going for this long, but the cold night air has him rubbing his arms as he hurries back inside his house. He heard some muttering coming from the living room, but Jerry ignored it as his mind was lost in thoughts of tomorrow and how the first secret would play out. He stumbled through his night routine and flopped into his nice warm bed, drifting off pretty quickly.

Jerry startled awake in a mild panic and instinctively grabbed for the book by his bed before he finished waking up. A sense of relief washing over him as his fingers ran over the rough cover. After caressing it for a few moments Jerry frowns and hesitatingly put the book down. He gets up and gets ready for school, but every time he sits on his bed he finds himself brushing his hand over the book absentmindedly.

Jerry makes it to school uneventfully. Its a nice cold morning and the walk is pleasant. He makes it to the front entrance and notices the gaggle of girls that usually follow Dylan around walking towards him from the other direction. As he studies them from a distance he notices Haley spot him looking at them and her quickly whisper something to the rest of them. They all flash looks at him and tense up as they approach.

Jerry is feeling pretty emboldened by the book, and if he is being honest with himself, tired of being pushed around like this. He just stands there as they draw closer, and he can see them get more uncomfortable until they are almost on top of him. "Good morning." he says when they get into casual conversation range. Haley Lights up with a smile and a small squeal. The other two look around quickly but seeing that they are mostly alone they relax and mumble a "'mornin" in return, A slight flush creeping over their cheeks.

They go to pass by him but Jerry blurts out "Why do you all hate me?". The girls all freeze for a moment before Carly stammers "B-b-but we dont! We l-lo..." she trails off flushing beet red. Viviana turns and in a whisper loud enough for Jerry to overhear says "Quick, contingency 23!"
