What I know: a boy in my school will one day wipe out two-thirds of the population with a virus.

What I don’t know: who he is.

In a race against the clock, I not only have to figure out his identity, but I’ll have to outwit a voice from the future telling me to kill him. Because I’m starting to realize no one is telling the truth. But how can I play chess with someone who already knows the outcome of my every move? Someone so filled with malice they’ve lost all hope in humanity? Well, I’ll just have to find a way—because now they’ve drawn a target on the only boy I’ve ever loved... 




Excerpt

5:58 a.m.

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: Black flannel shirt, sleeves rolled up. Black jeans. White canvas sneakers 

Me: ???

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: Ur imagining what I’m wearing, amirite? Don’t lovesick girls fantasize bout this every morning? 

Me: Hate to break it to you, Bandit, but the only “sick” I’m about to be is all over my phone. 

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: Could u plz not call me that?

Me: What? Bandit? But it’s your name. 

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: Yea, but when u say it, w all ur proper spelling, it sounds like ur scolding me 

Me: What should I call you, then? 

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: How bout babycakes? 

Me: How about Most Obnoxious Boy Alive? That’s how you’re listed under my Contacts. 

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: Ur giving me pet names already? Aww, honey oats, that’s sweet. Not sure I’m ready 4 this level of commitment tho

Me: You started it!

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: Ur rite. I did. Ok fine. 2 eggs over easy. Bacon. Toast. What I’m having 4 breakfast 

Me: Told you already. Utterly uninterested. 

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: Chrysanthemum tea too. Cuz it reminds me of my khun yai. She used to make it 4 me every morning w loads of brown sugar 

My fingers hover over my cell phone. I can’t bring myself to shut him down. Not now. Because I know from Lalana that “khun yai” means “grandmother.” And…he spoke about her in the past tense.

I remember, too, that Lalana attended a funeral last year. And I’m pretty sure it was for Bandit’s grandmother. 

Me: Of course you would like your tea super sweet. 

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: I don’t. but that’s how my khun yai liked it, so that’s how I drank it

Me: And that’s how you still make your tea?

Dots appear. And then disappear. And then appear again, as though he can’t decide how to respond. I meant the question as a throwaway, but now I’m gripping my phone like our very future depends on the answer. Finally, his response pops up. 

Most Obnoxious Boy Alive: yea. that’s how I still make my tea
