Heath's POV
"I'm telling you guys. Baddie. One hundred percent, I'm going to ask her out soon," Tag assures. He talks while using hand gestures.

"She lives in Senview. That's where Heath's parents live, right?" Levi asks, looking at me.

"Yeah. It's pretty far," I answer.

Tag takes out his phone. "I'm applying at Senview University anyway for football. Look how hot she is," Tag holds up his phone showing us a girl. She's average height, chestnut skin tone, long extremely curly hair.

"She's beautiful bro," Ajax says.

"Yeah she is. Texting her yet?" I ask.

"Yes. She's amazing, I'm telling you. Hey where are the girls?" Tag asks, realizing they aren't here. They went to study. I bought Prystyne her favourite pizza before it sold out. 

Maya comes to the cafeteria alone. She takes her usual seat next to Levi. "Have you guys seen Prys? She didn't show up to the library," Maya informs.

I feel my heart rate pick up but I remain calm. "What do you mean she didn't show up?" Ajax asks.

"I waited in the library. From after school until now. It's been four hours. None of you guys have seen her. Heath?" Maya looks up at me.

"Not since she told me she was meeting you." I take out my phone and call her. I press my phone to my ear letting it ring. No answer. "She's not answering."

"Yeah I tried calling her too. It just rings nonstop," Maya says. I stand up and pick up my jacket.

"Heath where are you going?" Levi asks.

"To look for her. She doesn't just disappear like this," I look at Ajax as he quickly packs up his stuff. Everyone else begins getting up.

We walk straight out of the cafeteria. "You think she's relapsing?" Ajax asks in a whisper so the others don't hear.

I take a deep breath. "I want to say no but I don't know. It's possible but I really hope not," I reply. She was doing so good. We made it to her dorm.

Maya tries to open the door but it's locked. "Hold on," I reach into my pocket pulling out a set of keys. I use one of my keys to unlock her door.

"Holy shit. It's like a tornado went on in here," Tag mutters as we enter. The whole place is a mess. Everything is either turned over on the floor or broken.

I take out my phone and begin spamming Prystyne with messages. I hit the call icon beginning to get worried. "It's Prystyne! Leave a message at the beep but only if I like you or you have drugs. Beeeep!" Prystyne has still yet to change her voicemail.

"Prystyne, I don't know where the hell are you but answer your phone. Baby please." I quickly hang up and look to the group who's searching through the room.

"We should probably split up and search," Ajax suggests. He's right.

"I'll head to the cafe," Maya says.

"Levi and I will check outside campus. Fields, pathways," Tag trails off.

"Heath and I will check everywhere else. Inside the buildings," Ajax volunteers.

I don't bother saying anything else. I walk out. Ajax follows by my side and we head to the building where classes are held.

My heart's pounding so hard right now. Thousands of thoughts fly through my head but I try to tell myself she's okay. She's going to be okay.
