Karma

VINCE FELT BAD about how he acted toward his dad. He didn’t mean to shout at him. He was just surprised when he saw Ezekiel looking at his wallpaper. Vince’s heart started to beat faster as he wondered if Ezekiel noticed that the font on his desktop wallpaper was the same one he used when he hacked the Harrington Luxe website.

As soon as Ezekiel left the room, Vince sat up in bed. He went to his desk again and grabbed his laptop to open it. He quickly changed his wallpaper to something different—a picture of a forest.

He wanted to be sure no one could ever figure out the connection.

After he changed it, Vince felt a little better, but he still felt guilty.

Vince knew his dad was just trying to help. He didn’t mean to be rude, but he was scared Ezekiel might have seen something he shouldn’t have.

Vince put his laptop back on his desk and lay down again. He pulled the covers over his head and tried to sleep, hoping he could make it up to his dad tomorrow.
