𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐅 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐄 got to the scene, his daughter was already in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, he was pissed. From what he heard from Peter, a boy who went to school with his daughter and Sam, was that the girl Deena had threw the cooler onto the car along with the 'brown haired cheerleader'"
"Deena Johnson?" the Sherriff asked,
"Yeah, two EE's"
"Wanna tell me what happened?"
Deena tilted her head to the side, "The car crashed."
He looked up, a dead look on his face. "Was it pursuing you?"
"Well, it was driving behind the bus. Does that count as pursuing?" Deena replied, crossing her arms. "The driver said that before the crash someone opened the emergency exit." the sheriff read aloud from his notes.
Deena shook her head, "I don't remember that."
"No? He also saw you with the cooler."
Deena raised her eyebrows. "Did anyone else see that?" she asked,
The sheriff half smiled, "Maybe you were just, um. . .goofing around. But you see- my daughter, Stella was in that car. You know her? yeah you do, I know you do because you've been round our house a million times."
"So, what I'm struggling to understand is why you would do that to your friends over a silly football match. Because I know Sam was in that car too- Sam Fraser. According to Peter you two used to be close, until she moved to Sunnyvale."
"So why don't you tell me what happened,"
"I don't know." Deena said, I didn't mean to hurt either of them. It was just- I don't know, a joke. I was angry at Sam and Stella got caught in the cross fire. "I guess. . .-"
"It was just an accident," she finished.
The sheriff nodded, "Alright. . . well if you do think of anything, give me a call." he said, ripping a piece of paper off that had his work phone number on.
It had been three days since the accident when Stella got discharged from the hospital, seen as she had no major injuries. She was hanging out at Deena's because she was trying to make up for the fact that she almost killed her.
Stella sat painting her toenails a pretty purple colour while she listened to music with Josh as he played on his computer, Deena was cooking a pizza downstairs and she didn't feel like helping. Ah- at last the pizza was done, both Stella and Josh looking towards each other before racing down the stairs.
"I'm getting the bigger pieces!" Stella laughed, pulling Josh's shirt back as he was ahead of her, "No!" he shouted. "Asshole." he muttered, Stella raised her eyebrows, "Language, child." she joked.
"Hey!" Josh said when he saw Deena walking back into the kitchen, "Pizza ready?" Stella smiles. "Oh, that you guys heard." she rolled her eyes.
"What?" Josh scoffs, "Who put a stick up her butt?" Stella laughs. "Deena, babe. We have priorities!" she shouted over to her, causing the girl to flip her off from the back. Stella threw her head back and let out a loud laugh, grinning.
"Shit!" Josh exclaimed, quickly passing the pizza tray over to Stella, letting her deal with it. She widened her eyes, "Hot, hot, hot!" she hissed, quickly placing it down on the counter. "Fuck you, moron." she stuck her tongue out at Josh,
Deena stared out the window before muttering, "Sunnyvale prick."
She grabbed a knife out of the cupboard and went to the backdoor. "Holy shit." Josh said, staring at the masked guy, "Stay here." Deena ordered. Stella peeked out the window, "What is it?" she asked, "Oh, fuck."
But when Deena walked outside nobody was there, "You're pathetic!" she shouted before storming back inside. She walked straight into the living area, both Josh and Stella walking behind her as they held their plates of pizza.
And yes, Stella did take the bigger slices.
As Deena called Kate, Stella and Josh made them selves comfy on the couch, "Kate's coming over?" Josh asked Deena after she put the phone down. Deena nodded, "Simon too."
Stella let out a little 'oh' before swatting Josh's hand away when he tried to take a slice of pizza, "Josh! I won fair in square, those slices belong to me."
"Yeah, you win 'fair in square' every time. By pulling my shirt." he emphasised. "You know it baby." Stella laughed, taking a bite of pizza.
It was about ten minutes later when Kate and Simon got to Deena's.
"I'm going to kill that pervert!" Kate said, pacing the room. Deena sighed, "Why would he break in there? I just don't understand what he was doing."
"He was acting all shifty and shit. Like going through the laundry." Simon butted in, squeezing in-between Stella and Josh. Stella rolled her eyes, making space for him. "A thank you would suffice." she spoke, staring at him.
He looked at her, raising his eyebrows before turning to Josh. "You need to get some groceries, man. We have an incredible sale at the store--"
Stella whacked his arm, "Stop self-promoting and leave Josh alone,"
"Ow! okay, woman!"
"He broke into the house! He had a knife!" Kate exclaimed, crossing her arms. "Whoa! with the kids there? That's wack!" Josh said, "That's fucking right, Josh. It is wack. Thank you." Kate nodded.
Stella tapped Simon's shoulder, when he turned around she pointed at the whipped cream he held in his hand, "Oh-" he laughed, "Here," he squirted some in her mouth. "Thank you." she said, licking the sides of her mouth.
"There where kids there. Ok, and what? He thinks cause' he's balling Sam, he can come here and prank us on our own turf." Kate spat out, looking at Deena.
