Hush, Hush Chapter 4

By Becca Fitzpatrick

Chapter 4

Nora calls Vee after the car-attack incident. Vee assumes Nora hit a deer, and Nora goes with it because, you know, it would be hard to explain the whole mystery attacker without sounding crazy.
Nora drives back to Vee's to find something even crazier, though: There are no marks on the car except for a crack in the windshield. She's freaked out by what she can/can't recall about the incident.
Nora sleeps over at Vee's, and they go to Enzo's Bistro for breakfast where they meet two boys—Jules, who goes to a nearby private school, and Elliot, who is transferring from the private school to Coldwater High School (CHS, a.k.a. where Vee and Nora go). Vee is interested, but Nora is stand-offish.
During a bio quiz, Nora asks Patch if he is following her, thinking he might have been the one in the ski mask. Patch evades the question and is flirty as ever.
Vee gets Patch's last name off Coach's class roster and floats a plan to get a look at his student file by sending Nora to register her iron pills with the nurse, whose office is right across from student records.
