Anastasia

They all finished eating and we went to the courtyard and while us three girls sat on a bench, Adrien and Nino stood in front of us.

I excused myself to the bathroom and made my way there.

I came out of the stall and looked in the mirror and couldn't help but think about Jules' words.

I don't think I look bad do I? So why did she say that.

Just then the three bitches walked into the bathroom. Could this day get any worse?

"Are you taking my advice? I saw you didn't eat all that junk earlier" Jules smirked.

"Awh watching me in your spare time? I'm honoured Jules, really" I gave her a fake smile.

"Watch your fucking mouth" Amelia snapped.

"Look I really don't want to talk to you, I need to get back to my friends" I said, making my way towards the door.

"Your friends, right. Tell Adrien I said hi" Jules provoked.

I stopped in my tracks.

"You're so obsessed with him it's weird" I couldn't help myself.

"Bitch please, do you see the way you cling all over him all the time? You're so desperate it's sad" She laughed.

"I know what you mean J, considering you're 'famous' or whatever, you really do act like a whore" Jasmine chimed in.

"He's my friend, I don't 'cling' onto him. God what is your problem!" I yelled. 

"I didn't know you were such a raging bitch Annie, I'm not surprised your parents abandoned you. I don't understand how anyone can stand being around you" Jules smirked.

"Don't you dare talk about my parents" I tried to prevent the tears from forming in my eyes. Anyone ever bringing up my parents always hit a spot.

"Well it's true isn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if your so called friends just feel bad for you so they hang out with you" She finished.

The bell rang indicating lunch was over, but at that moment I didn't care.

I ran out of the bathroom with tears running down my face and right past the group and out the school. I heard them shouting my name from behind me but I didn't care to turn around. I just wanted to be alone.

I didn't know where I was going but anywhere away from that school was much better.

I ended up walking to the park and sitting down on a bench in the far corner. I put my bag down beside me and Tala flew into my hands.

"Annie.."

"What if she's right Tala, and my friends do hate me, and my parents did leave because of me?" I choked.

"Anastasia Emerys, your friends do not hate you, you are amazing in every way, and they all love you. And I'm positive your parents didn't leave because of you, whatever reason it was I'm sure it was a good one, do not beat yourself up about this and let some basic girl come and ruin your life" Tala said.

"You can't be sure of that, but I really do appreciate it" I thanked the little creature.

"You should really get back to school Annie" Tala urged.

"No, I'm not going back. Not today anyway, I'll go back at the end of the day when we get picked up and only then" I said wiping the tears off my face.

Adrien

We were all talking during lunch while Annie was sat in silence, she excused herself to go to the bathroom and after a while we all started wondering why she was taking so long.

Next thing I know she's running past, and she was-crying?

I shouted her name along with Alya but she didn't stop.

"What the hell?" Alya asked, no one in particular.

We all tried calling her one by one but she didn't answer anyone.

It was time for lessons again, I had my fingers crossed that she would show up to class. 

On the way there I bumped into Jules, quite literally. 

"Oh i'm sorry Jules" I smiled at her.

"It's fine, don't worry about it, where are you off to in such a hurry?" She asked.

"To class, I'm hoping to see Annie in there, you haven't happened to have spoken to her recently have you?" I asked her.

"Not recently no, sorry" Jules answered.

"Oh okay, thanks anyway, I'll see you later" I said walking away.

I was sat in class and it was about half an hour in and much to my dismay Anastasia didn't show up at all. I was beyond worried. What could've happened?
