Maggie was fuming as she threw herself down onto the couch with a frustrated thud . Maddy , are you sure Joshua is really attending 27th Street High ? she demanded , suddenly struck by a lingering doubt . She turned her fiery gaze toward Maddy , who was casually playing with her phone . Maddy barely lifted her eyes from the screen and said indifferently , I dont know . Who cares where he goes to school ? Youre his sister ! How can you not know where your brother is studying ? Maggies fury grew with every word , her voice rising sharply . Im busy with work , okay ? I dont have time to keep track of where he goes ! Maddy snapped her head up defensively , a touch of annoyance creeping into her voice . Besides , if you and Dad dont know , how am I supposed to know ? Your father and … Maggie opened her mouth to retort but found herself momentarily at a loss for words . With a dismissive shrug , Maddy added nonchalantly , Wherever he is , just find him and bring him back . Its not like hes not going to school . For some reason , Maddys nonchalant words triggered an unsettling thought in Maggies mind . She suddenly recalled the papers which were signed by all three of them . If I get my hands on him , Ill make sure I smack his hands ! She fumed , not lingering too long on the uneasy thought . Just then , Katherine rushed into the room , her voice urgent . Fraser ! Mr. Stuart just sent word . It seems Mr. Joshua has indeed been attending classes at 27th Street High these past few days . However , due to the storm , the schools on break for three days . There havent been any classes ! Then , where on earth did he go ? Maggie demanded , her patience wearing dangerously thin . Katherine shook her head . We dont know . Stuart asked around , but even the teachers at 27th Street High dont know where hes been staying . Sh * t ! Maggie was very furious . She turned toward Maggie with a hard look . Call Wendy . Ask her if anyone else has received a call or message from Joshua . Mom , why are you stressing over this so much ? Maddy groaned in frustration . Hell come crawling back eventually . With the storm coming , theres no way hes staying out . Just give it a few days hell be back for sure 1/3 6:20 pm Chapter 11 He Does Not Have a Phone +8 Pearl : Just ask her when I ask you to do so . Why are you making such a fuss ? Maggies voice was tight with frustration , her patience wearing thin . Fine , fine ! Maddy sighed , resigned to her mothers impatience . She quickly sent out a message on Snapchat . After a moment , she glanced up and reported , Ive asked already . Wendy , Shirley , Judy , Indy , and Cassidy have heard nothing from him . Then , call him ! Maggie demanded , her frustration bubbling over . Call who ? Maddy asked , genuinely confused . Who else ? Call Joshua and tell him to come back ! Maggies words were practically spat through gritted teeth , her anger boiling over . Maddy froze for a second before stammering , I … I dont have his number ! You dont have his number ? Maggies sharp gaze narrowed in disbelief . Why would I have it ? I dont even have him on Snapchat anymore , Maddy explained . He used to annoy me all the time there , so I deleted him ! You ! Maggies eyes flared with fury . Ask your sisters ! See if any of them have his number . Maddy quickly sent another message , then looked up , shrugging helplessly . The others are all in the same boat as me no number . Cassidy didnt respond ; she was probably in class . But Mom , why dont you just call him ? Why do I have to do it ? Maggie glared at her daughter , her frustration practically radiating from her , but without another word , she took her phone and began scrolling through her contacts . After a minute , she suddenly paused , her face growing tight with discomfort . Mom … Dont tell me you dont have his Snapchat and number either ? Maddy asked incredulously . I remember … Yes , I used to have it , but … Maggies expression suddenly turned dark as a realization struck her . He must have lost his phone once , didnt he ? Huh ? Oh , back then … Maddys expression faltered for a moment , guilt flashing across her face . Yes , he did lose his phone last year , at the end of the year . Thats what I thought ! I dont have his phone number or Snapchat anymore , Maggie declared , her voice tinged with frustration . Then , as if suddenly remembering something , she turned to Maddy . Wait , does Joshua even have a phone ? Uh … Maddy hesitated , suddenly unsure how to answer . 2/3 6:20 pm Chapter 11 He Does Not Have a Phone +8 Pearl In her memory , aside from the phone Joshua had lost , it seemed he never used any other phone . She wasnt sure if she had simply forgotten , but as far as she could recall , she had never seen him with a phone , and no one ever called him directly . After a brief pause , she finally spoke up . He might have an old phone … One of those basic ones that can only make calls and send texts . Its not a smartphone , so he wouldnt have Snapchat on it . What ? Maggies eyes widened in disbelief . He doesnt have a proper phone ? Im not sure if Dad or Wendy got him one , Maddy replied , clearly flustered . Wed have to ask them . Maybe they bought him a smartphone at some point . Maggie frowned , and without a second thought , she immediately dialed Davids number . 40 ( 1 ) 34
