The Day of the Kidnapping;
"Charlotte! Get up for school, honey!" My mom yelled. I'm always grumpy in the morning, it's worse when I remember I have to go to school. School sucks. It's only good for one reason, Ezra. Ezra has been my crush since the first day of 9th grade.. His looks just caught me on.
But, seeing him there changes my prospective of school. School feels like a dream, honestly, when I'm with him. Which sounds weird, no one calls school a dream? Ha! Maybe kindergarteners would.
Anyways, since he is my reason to go, I get up and out of bed. I put on my school uniform..why do schools have uniforms again? Ugh, my brain doesn't have enough juice to work. I finished getting dressed and I head downstairs to fuel up.
"Orange juice is in the fridge, darling" My mom reminded me. I nod to her and fake a smile. I grab the orange juice and pour a glass. I don't really like eating breakfast, so I usually just drink something. I finish my juice, put on my black leathered jacket, grab my book bag, and exit out this hell of a house.
Now that I think i of it, maybe school is a good thing. It's better than being stuck in a house with an annoying ass family who bothers you 25/8. I'd rather hang out with my friends, thank you very much. A lot of people judge me and avoid me, so I don't really have a lot of friends. I just mostly hang out around Ezra. He's my one and only. I wish he thinks the same. While being lost in my thoughts, I've already reached school. I don't live that far from the high school.
I sigh out loud and enter. And of course, all eyes are on me. Great. I have social anxiety. I care about what others think, and I hate socializing. But.. Ezra is different. I swear! And I could make 5 essays about him being the perfect boy. Maybe my crush is too extreme. Well, he is clearly my love interest.
I look around to find Ezra and to bother him for the day. He was..hanging out with the popular kids.. I mean he deserves to be popular, unlike me. I want to go over there I steal him from those not knowing 2+2 jerks. But my social anxiety is stopping me from doing that. But luckily, Ezra notices me and motions me to- ..come over.. I rapidly shook my head to resist. But he just walks over here and drags them along.
"Hi Sophia! How's it hanging?" Ugh I can't stand Harper. "My name is Charlotte, Harper-" Harper immediately rolled her eyes and had her attention focused on Ezra. "Hi Charlotte! How's your morning?" Ezra greeted me. He is always this nice. Not just to me, but to everyone. He even greets the teachers! The teachers. "Just like every morning, exhausting..! Someone needs to grab me a cup of coffee!" I joked, but normally Ezra takes it seriously.. "I'll get it for you, if you have money?" He politly said. I chuckled. "I'm fine, thank you." I blush.
"Yeah, so, uh, would you get me one? Like, a coffee? Ezra?" Harper said. Now it just feels like she needs the attention. "Sure!" Ezra deserves the world! He is going to get someone their coffee, and that's a far walk and he's gonna be late for school. I'd rather do it than have him be late. I wouldn't want him to get in trouble. "Yep! Great! I'll get a hazelnut coffee with 2 pumps of creamer and 1 pump of half and half and 5 sugar cubes and.. Put that all in a cute pink glittery cup! Thank you~" Harper stated all that. And then she went straight on her phone? Heh- what about the money? He ain't paying for that!
"Do- do you have the money? Or are you gonna PayPal me?" Ezra asks. I mean pay paling him would make sense on why she's on her phone. "Uh- no? Isn't this for free? You offered to get her a coffee, am I not included? I made you popular, Ezra! You should be thankful! Cause this school is full of bitches!" I laughed at my own thought. Then I said it out loud. "Like you, you don't even know what 9x8 is! How is a dumbass popular?" I started bursting out laughing. Ezra looked at me and frowned. "Not cool. I don't say anything about your friends, why do you gotta be mean to mine?" Ezra walked away into the distance.
"Looks like a bitch just lost her only friend! Haha!"
Liam, the other popular kid, says. I wanted to just d-decapitate them o-or punch them or.. I don't know!
I went after Ezra. We talked. We made up. School started. School ended. See? Just like a dream. Time flies when you're having fun. But it's different.. I'm with someone that makes it fun. Me and Ezra walk back home together all the time.
"Hey, what's the homework again? Could you help me?? Please~?" I begged Ezra. He's the smartest. Probably the smartest out of the whole school! "Fine!" He chuckled. I laughed. Until I realized we went the wrong direction. That never happened before, we always go the right way? "Ezra? We took a wrong turn? Did we forget a turn? I don't recognize this place.." I worried. I promise mom I would be cautious on getting home. "Hmm.. Well we'll just go back! Retracr our steps!" I nod and we turn around.
There was a man right behind us.
"AAH-"
