chapter five
THE MORNING came and back to school I was. I was up earlier than usual so I went out to the back with a cigarette lit.
The backyard used to be our hideout. Especially under the tree.
It was the biggest tree in both of our yards. We liked to believe it was put there by aliens who answered our prayers of needing a layer.
When we were old enough, we snuck out back and carved our initials. This was our tree.
I huffed and leaned against it, with a cigarette hanging between my lips. I stared into Billy's window waiting for him to just come out and smile like he always does.
He didn't.
I gave one last puff before I dropped it and went back inside and grabbed my stuff to leave.
Billy's in jail, which meant I had to drive myself to school.
I was standing by my car when Billy's dad's car rolled up. I leaned against my car and watched his dad get out and soon Billy did too.
"Morning, asshat," I leaned on the top of my car. Billy turned to look at me with a smug look on his face.
It worked.
Stu did his job. We were back on track.
"Mornin', pretty girl."
"Hasta luego," I smiled before getting in my car and taking off.
Everything was going exactly as it should've.
"What went wrong?"
"I got sick."
The moment I got out of my car and stood in front of the school building, I regretted it. All of a sudden I was feeling hot. My head felt heavy and I swear walking from the parking lot to the school building was the hardest thing I've had to do all day.
Between the headache and stomach pain, I couldn't tell which would kill me fast. I swallowed, adjusting my bag on my shoulder.
Again news reporters were all over the school now that Sidney was attacked too.
I followed the daily crowd into school, immediately going to my locker where I knew all of my friends were. "Morning, angels," I smiled falling between Tatum and Sidney.
I nodded at Stu and looked between all of them. "How are we this morning?"
They all just stared at me like a was an alien with 5 heads. "Um...how are you this morning?" Tatum asked with her eyebrows raised. Before I could answer, another question was thrown at me. "You're nice, why?" Sidney leaned forward.
"You look pale," Stu pointed out.
"Oh, please what other flaws do I have?" I turned around to open my locker, choosing to ignore them. "I want you to meet me right here after class, okay, Sid?" Tatum said to Sidney.
