Chapter Eleven: Friday Night Bites
—————————————————————Emily jolted awake drenched in sweat. Her hair was a mess falling all in her face, because she forgot to pull it back before she dozed off the previous night. She turned and something sharp poked into her side causing her to wince. She reached below her hip and pulled out a book.
Little women, a comfort book she had began to read the night before. She thought that reading it would help her sleep without her parents corpses haunting her dreams. After all it was the book Miranda Gilbert read to her girls before bedtime. It didn't work, still in her nightmares that night were her parents blemished and cold bodies.
Despite it all, she got out of bed and continued with her morning routine; showering and getting ready for school.

"You mean you guys had a dinner party and didn't invite me!" Ruby exclaimed.
Emily now walked with Ruby through the school parking lot, going through their daily debrief.
"I wish you could've taken my place, alright? It was supposed to be small, but we had some unexpected guests." Emily told her friend, who was furious. Ruby hated being left out of things. The red head always said that if she were to have a super power, it would be to be in multiple places at once.
"Yeah Caroline and her new, older, super hot boyfriend." Ruby said with distain.
"Oh no, don't you start, I refuse to be in the middle of you and Caroline drama, again."
"She just irks me sometimes, being all petty and passive aggressive."
Emily hums. "Sounds like someone I know."
"Okay, I may be petty but I am not passive aggressive, if I have something to say, I'm going to say it straight up." Ruby holds her hands up in defense.
"Ruby, change the subject please."
"Okay fine, first home game of the season, are you excited?"
"Not really, I don't think I'm even going." Emily shrugged.
"No, you have to come.To support me!"
"I'm sorry? Are you all of sudden on the football team now?" Emily said sarcastically, receiving a punch in the shoulder.
