LILIANA

I didn't know that I fell asleep on the couch. Tory woke me up from the couch. Also Steve was up and took a shower upstairs. Tory told me what happened to her at the party.

After the party, she went to somebody else's house. Because Steve is using his car, and the incident with Nancy changed a lot for him. She went there and took sleep, to come home earlier and not bother her friend she slept with.

This time, I am getting a book from the bookshelf I have. "Firestarter" by Stephen King is what I got. And placed it on my bag. Then went downstairs for us, Harrington siblings to go to school.

~~~~~

We get to school, and I walk to the hallways in Middle school. Along the way, I see Lucas and Max talking about something. I know they are talking about Will, because of a few lines.

"I still don't get why they call him zombie boy. I mean,"

Comes Max voice, talking to Lucas. Asking for any question.

"I get it. He got lost in the woods for a week or something, "

I walk behind them, trying not to get any attention from both. Though some are staring at me, like what the hell is Lili doing? Which is not something about my behavior in school.

"But why is he a zombie? Because everyone thought he was dead?"

I jumped out of their back and Lucas screamed a high-pitch again. Like yesterday, Max smacks my arm. She looks surprised to what I did.

"Look at both of you, did you prepare for that!'

I said.

"That was so stupid, you didn't need to do that,"

She said.

"Okay, Lucas. You may go back to the story,"

I said, and he continues.

"Yeah. I mean, we had a funeral for him and everything,"

He said.

"After a week?"

She asked, confused.

"Well, Max,"

I started off.

"Some fake body drowned in the quarry. We though it was Will but I analyzed the body and it looked fake. Looks like it was super decomposed,"

"What?"

Max looks at us.

"Okay, that's not funny,"

"It's not a joke, all right? It's public knowledge. You can ask us, or anybody. Except Will, because he is really sensitive about it. All right?"
