“Trouble was her default setting.”

Manchmal muss man von jemandem getrennt sein, um zu merken, dass man nicht mit ihm zusammen sein will.
Night School - C.J. Daughtery
Sicherheit ist eine Lüge. Eine Illusion, an der wir uns klammern, damit es uns leichterfällt, uns den tödlichen Gefahren des Lebens zu stellen.

CJ Daugherty / NUMBER 10/ Page 7
Gray wasn’t going to drink any more alcohol. The cold bottle felt good against her overheated skin, though, and she held it up to her face, pressing the glass against her cheek.
‘Gray.’ Jake’s northern accented voice was unmistakable.
She spun around to see him a few feet away, his expression dripping disapproval.
‘What do you want?’ she asked.
His brow lowering, he glanced from the bottle in her hand back to her face. ‘Maybe you should go easy on that. You don’t look so great.’
This was insulting on multiple levels. But before Gray could think of a devastatingreply, Chloe stepped between them, bristling.
‘Why don’t you mind your own business, Jake?’ she asked. ‘You’re always messing with Gray; giving her looks. It’s so obvious you’re jealous of her. It’s ridiculous.’
Even in heels she was so tiny she had to stand on her toes to see his face. Like a really angry butterfly. He gazed at her with cool, infuriating detachment.
‘I’m just trying to help.’
Chloe, fuelled by alcohol and a determination to protect Gray, wasn’t backing down.
‘She doesn’t need your help. You’re always picking on her because your dad lost the election. Why don’t you get over it? It was months ago. It’s not Gray’s fault.’
Jake’s lips tightened, and he turned to Gray.
‘Look,’ he said steadily, ‘I’m not trying to insult you or anything. But you don’t want to get drunk here. There are too many people. Too many eyes.’
Maybe on a different night she would have taken this advice differently. Right now, it made her furious. He was so patronising.
Ignoring the churning in her stomach, she threw him an imperious look.
‘Thanks for your concern. But I’m perfectly able to decide how much I want to
drink.’
For a second, he held her gaze, and she thought he’d argue. But then, shaking his head, he walked away. As Gray watched, one hand on her unruly stomach, he paused at the coat check to retrieve his jacket, and then, with one final glance at her, disappeared out the wide, glass door.
A cool autumnal breeze flowed in as he departed. It felt good against Gray’s hot skin. Then the door closed, and the damp heat returned.
Gray’s stomach flipped. She covered her mouth with her fingers.
‘He’s so arrogant.’ Chloe was still fuming, but as soon as she saw Gray’s face, her anger faded. ‘Gray. Is it worse?’
Mutely, Gray nodded. ‘Have to go home,’ she said, thickly. ‘Gonna be sick.’
She didn’t trust herself to say more, and Chloe must have seen the seriousness of the situation in her face, because her only reply was, ‘I’ll get our coats.’
Gray leaned against the wall as Chloe ran to the coat stand and handed over the small,white ticket. A minute later, she rushed back, clutching their jackets, which they’d checkedtogether at the beginning of the night, when everything was so exciting.
But Gray couldn’t wait for her coat. She needed air. Now.
The bouncer stepped aside with a wary look as she bolted, her borrowed high heels skidding on the cement. Under the black and white awning with the illuminated word ‘BIJOU’ in magenta neon, she paused for a split second, the cold, October air like ice against her clammy skin.
Then she took two steps to the right and vomited into the base of a giant, potted palm tree.
‘Gray!’ Chloe ran to her.
‘She can’t be sick there,’ the bouncer objected. Pulling Gray’s hair back, Chloe fired a glare at him over her shoulder. ‘Leave her
alone.’
The two of them argued across Gray’s back as the sickness slowly subsided and Gray began to straighten, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
What happened next happened fast.
‘Bloody hell, is that Gray Langtry?’ A male voice came from a few feet away.
‘That’s her!’ Another man responded.
A blinding series of flashes lit up the night. The rat-a-tat-tat of camera clicks came from everywhere, like weapons being fired at them.
Chloe gasped and stumbled back as voices barraged them.
‘How are you feeling, Gray?’ An adult male voice with an Essex accent taunted her.
‘Bit tired and emotional?’
‘Who’s your sexy friend? What’s your name, sweet ‘eart?’
‘Had a bit too much to drink, luv?’
Flash. Flash. Flash.
Blinded by the camera flashbulbs, Gray couldn’t see the men, but she knew instantly who they were. What they were.
Her heart sank.
‘Does your mother know you’re drinking?’ the first man asked. The others laughed.
‘You’re underage, young lady,’ one of them said. ‘I should take you over my knee.’
Through it all, the flashes lit up the night.
‘Gray.’ Chloe’s voice sounded strange – high and nervous; her hand gripped Gray’s fingers hard. ‘What do we do?’
Desperate, Gray looked for escape. Behind them, the black-clad bouncer stood
blocking the doorway, his arms crossed impassively. They couldn’t go back in to their friends.
Behind the paparazzi, London’s Park Lane was busy with late evening traffic.
Gray looked at Chloe.
‘Run,’ she said.

One of the UK’s most critically acclaimed teen authors returns with a new novel set in the world of her hugely popular Night School series.
Number 10 tells the spinetingling story of 16-year-old Gray Langtry, the daughter of the UK’s female prime minister, who is about to get in way over her head.
After a wild night with friends is splashed across the tabloids, Gray is grounded for two weeks at Number 10 Downing Street, no ifs no buts.
Left alone one night, with her mother at an important meeting, Gray discovers a secret network of government tunnels leading from 10 Downing Street to the Houses of Parliament and beyond. What starts as a bit of fun, suddenly gets serious, when Gray stumbles across a secret late night cabinet meeting and overhears what sounds like a Russian-led plot to kill her mother.
Wasting no time, she rushes back to inform her mother’s security detail, but with no proof of what she heard, no-one will believe a wayward teenager. Now, it’s up to Gray to break out of Number 10 and warn her mother before it’s too late.
With the help of her best friend Chloe and love interest Jake McIntyre – who just happens to be the son of the leader of the opposition – will she make it in time to save her mother? And what will she have to sacrifice in the process?
Number 10 is a Night School spin off series that sees CJ Daugherty back at her spine tingling best. Gripping, thrilling, and filled with intrigue, Number 10 explores the nexus of power in the UK from a teenager’s point of view.
