Halloween night. Most of it was a blur - finding a secret room with Olivia Gardiner, dancing with her… kissing her… and then their eventual escape. His mind went back to her words about the book - Rebekah Azure… VCs cousins? It was an interesting sentiment - but the strangest thing was even when researching the older Azure family, information was hard to come by. Almost like… someone had paid to have it wiped from every database available. That was fine… it just meant perhaps Mason would have to go old school and make his way to the district records building to see if he could find any similar… items or mentions about the secret room. Though besides the book, the other thing that stayed in his mind was… Olivia Gardiner. He hadn’t been able to get his mind off the way their bodies synced to the music as they danced for… who even knows how long. Laughter filled the night as the only thing the two cared about at the moment was the rhythm of the music - likely how many others had done years earlier. Perhaps that’s what led… well… to a kiss that shouldn’t have occurred. It was quick… and one that he asked… told Olivia to keep to herself… after all… Mason was dating Sienna and he couldn’t… lose her.
So after two weeks… inclusive of thoroughly avoiding Olivia and just trying to learn more about the diary and the Azure family… Mason figured he needed to ask someone who maybe had more connections than he did. He just loved a good mystery and this was one that he couldn’t let go of, which is why on his way to school - after picking up Paige Pierce for… well… reasons - he found himself walking inside the school with a particular person in mind. After Paige disappeared on him, Mason went to a girl that he considered… almost as smart as him. “VC… mind a quick chat?” Mason asked, walking up behind her as she put something in her locker. As he caught her attention, he led the girl to an empty classroom - looking at her with a strange expression… one of… curiosity. Part of him wondered if she knew… Olivia and him… or…well it didn’t matter.
“I know you have some… pretty good hacking skills… and I was wondering if you could get me some information on… the Azure family?” Mason asked, involving her in something that maybe she had a right to know about since it involved her cousins. Before she could ask why, he took the journal out of his pocket and placed it in front of her. “Found this two weeks ago and for some reason, it seems Rebeckah Azure doesn’t exist outside of this book. Though if you’re not up to it, I can always ask your dad. Isn’t he the go-to person for questions?”
