Chapter 8

____________________________________________________________________________

School is clearing out. The halls have begun to empty as Tatum escorts Sidney down the hallway.

"It was just some sick fuck having a laugh," Tatum grumbled as she stomp beside Sidney

Sidney who was still shaken tries to persuade Tatum "It was him, Tatum. I know it." as her body shakes, Tatum wants to believe her but...

"You are not to be alone again. Is that clear? If you pee, I pee." she said, as she tries to comfort Sidney, she trust Sidney...then Stu appeared "Is this not cool or what? Hey, Sid, what happened?" he asks, as he got near his girlfriend

"For once, Stu, drop it." Tatum scoldingly said, to Stu who didn't look slightly guilty

"Okay, but whatever you did the entire student body thanks you." Stu said, as he moves to Tatum and gives her a kiss. "And to celebrate this impromptu fall break, I propose we have a party. Tonight, my house."

It made Sidney freeze as she look at him incredulously "Are you serious?"

Stu just shrug his shoulders, as he nonchalantly said "My parents are out of town. It'll be like my hurricane bash last year. Nothing extreme. Just a few of us, hanging." Tatum warms to the idea. So she turns to Sidney "This could be good. What do you think, Sid?" she asks

"I don't know..." Sidney murmured, as she look away from the couple

"Come on. Pathos has its perks." Tatum said, as she tries to convince Sidney to join, Sidney considers trying hard to be good-spirited, but Stu reminds her "Remember, there's safety in numbers."

And Sidney thankfully gave in "Yeah, okay...whatever."

"Cool. See you guys tonight. Bring food." Stu speeds off, sliding down the empty hallway. As he plans to invite Toni

After the school is finished the two girls bump into Toni, and Toni decided to ignore the two, but Tatum stops her "W-wait!! I want to apologize!" she said as she bows her head

And Toni just nodded her head, and starts to walk away, but this time she was stopped by Sidney "I-I also want to apologize for leaving you..." she said, as she nervously look down, so Toni just said "Kay' you guys are forgiven, I need to do something so bye." she said, as she left immediately, she need to finish her job since, she would move after this whole school shit, besides the felt like a side-character...in this town

Tatum and Sidney rock on the front porch looking out into the small town neighborhood. Dewey's patrol jeep is parked in the driveway. Despite the loud music, blaring from an inside stereo, this is a quiet moment.
