The Indigo Notebook 201-300

Layla tells Zeeta that they might move to Maryland with Jeff. This is what Zeeta’s said she wants her whole life, but now she doesn’t want to. She realizes how much she likes her “weird” life. Wendell and Zeeta kind of get into a fight, but Zeeta can’t talk to him the next few days because she, Layla, and Jeff go on a trip out of town. Zeeta tries to call him, but he doesn’t answer his phone. When they get back from the trip, Zeeta goes to Gaby to ask advice about Wendell, and she learns that Wendell is living with Faustino now. Mamita Luz, Taita Silvio, and Zeeta decide they’re going to protect Wendell whatever it takes. Faustino says he sells teddy bears for a living, but Zeeta thinks that he’s lying. She steals one of his teddy bears, rips it open, and finds a bunch of gems inside. Faustino smuggles emeralds for a living. Zeeta goes to Faustino’s to tell Wendell and “rescue” him from this. When Zeeta gets there, she, Wendell, and Faustino end up running away from some hard-core smugglers, similar to mafia. They harm Faustino because he shorted them some emeralds. Wendell and Zeeta crawl into a secretive crystal cavern that Taita Silvio told them about. Taita Silvio figures they’re in trouble, and he knows they might be there, so he goes there too. They all escape together. The mafia people had been bitten by poisonous snakes. Zeeta talked to Layla and Layla tells her that she’s going to go back to being her old self.
