Wraith (BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter Thirty Eight

School never ceases to amaze me. They are setting up a trip for all of the seniors to,

Guess where,

Italy.

We leave this weekend and are staying a week. If you ask me, it's kind of like a second spring break.

I do have to say I am terrified. I hope I get to see Greyson but at the same time that means telling him that I'm pregnant.

The girls are happy as ever though. They can't wait to travel, especially Mick. Traveling is her favorite thing ever. Kate is excited to get to leave the U.S. for a while, and Emi just wants to see Nico.

"Ok you have to show us your favorite places," Mick gleamed as we ate lunch.

"We lived in Milan Mick, that's a little ways from Rome," I explained, placing a Funyun in my mouth.

Funyuns are life.

If you say otherwise you're weird.

"Dang it, ooo but that means we might get to see the colosseum." This girl can change subjects on a dime.

"True, I've always wanted to see it," Kate agrees.

We continue eating our lunches then part ways for our next classes. I have psychology with Emi. Sadly Jace and Kate's ex are both in that class.

"Hey Vanessa, where's Kate?" Matt asks, taking the seat next to mine. I don't bother looking at him when I answer.

He can rot in hell.

"In class genius," I mumble with an eye roll.

"What's with the attitude?" He asks, seeming genuinely confused. "Y'all are my friends aren't you?" He throws his arm around my shoulder.

"No, we don't even like you," Emi answers as I pluck his hand of my shoulder and throw it off, shuddering in disgust.

"You wound me," he says mockingly. Then his expression turns very serious when I finally look at him. "Tell Kate to meet me after class. And that she better not keep me waiting."

He goes to stand from the chair to go to his own seat.

"Yeah right," I mutter under my breath, turning back towards my book. He freezes.

"What was that?" I watch his fist clenched tightly. Oh if this asshole actually tried to hit one of us, I'm opening a can of 'hormonal pregnant bitch' on his ass.

"She doesn't want to talk to you, which I'm sure she's told you before." I spat, looking at him. "Take the fucking hint and move on with your miserable life."

He stalls for a second, opening his mouth to say something. His fist raised slightly like he's thinking if he should strike or not.

"Mr. Turner," the teacher's voice cuts through the ice cold tension like a knife. "Please find your way to your own seat."

The teacher suggests in a not so nice tone. Matt looks at me again. I merely smile mockingly and he scoffs, walking to his seat.

"You know we could probably get Greyson or Nico to kill him," Emi mutters. I shake my head, resisting the urge to laugh.

"I think we should leave that up to Luke," I whispered. Emi looked at me in confusion.

"What would he do?" She asked.

"I don't know, but he clearly cares about Kate if he sent her back here to keep her out of whatever situation is happening out there." I responded with a shrug.

She opens her mouth then clamps it shut again with a nod.

"I get it now, ok," she says in understanding.

"Dumbass," I mutter, jokingly. She kicks her foot into my calf. "Ow," I whisper, glaring at her.

She sticks her tongue out at me. We glare at each other before we both break out in grins and silent laughter.

"Is something funny ladies?" The teacher calls from the front of the room. We both stop laughing and for a second it's completely silent.

"Nothing sir, just having a good day," Emi responds with a thumbs up. The teacher gives us both a weird look before returning to the lecture.

Emi and I both looked at each other, exchanging laughing glances.

The rest of the day was boring. We met up with Kate and Mick to head back to my house. We left our phones in our bags by the front door and went into the living room.

"I think we should run a test to see if anyone is actually listening," Mick says as we all plop down on my couch. It's just the four of us here. My parents aren't home and my aunt won't be back until later. She's still staying with us for my mom's sake and to 'help keep me in check.'

I wonder if she knows how mad she's going to be about the whole pregnancy thing. Greyson needs to know before anyone else though so I'll have to wait on that show.

"How do you suppose we do that?" Kate asks, raising an eyebrow.

"We make a fake call and say we're going to meet up at the school. Then one of us can keep an eye out to see if the car shows up," Mick answers.

"That could work," Emi decides with a nod.

"Mick you'll have to be the one that actually goes," I said.

"Wait, why?" She asks in offense.

"Because you're the only one that hasn't had ties with a mafia, the three of us have," I clarified. She nodded in understanding.

"Ok who's making the call?" Emi asked.

"I will," I volunteered. "I will call Kate, if y'all leave together then we can make it seem believable."

We went over the plan, grabbed our phones and acted as if nothing was wrong. Kate and Mick left the house, going in opposite directions.

The car didn't follow either of them. So that means they're either after Emma or me. That or they're going to call for backup to follow the other two. I don't think they expected us to split up.

We waited a few hours before making the call.

"Hey Kate, do y'all want to meet up at the school later today?" I asked, trying to sound convincing.

"Um yeah I don't have anything to do anyway and I'm bored." She replies nonchalantly.

Our acting skills are immaculate.

"Ok, Em is still with me so we can just meet y'all there. I'll text Mick." I said.

"Let's say 7, yeah?" She asks. I agree and we hang up. Emi and I wait until 6:30 before leaving the house.

That car tails closely behind, not even bothering to hide the fact that they're following us. We drove around and found ourselves in a particular part of town that happens to get very busy around this time.

I switch lanes repeatedly, making my way around cars. The hummer is too big to follow exactly and once they are a few cars behind us I merge into the turn lane and we make our way down the street.

We turned a few more times at random points so we were sure we lost them. Then we made our way to Kate's house to wait. I parked in her garage and we quickly went inside.

Ok so I made instant accounts for the characters!
