The Story Of Our Lives

Chapter 2

"FERN!" I scream. Her face is mangled, and I look to the right to see the attacker.

He/She jumps over a fence and never looks back.

"GET SOMEONE! SOMETHING! ANYTHING!" I wail. "GET HELP!"

Becky scrambles to the nurses and I look at Fern.

She'll be fine, I think.

"Who did it?" I croak, holding back a sob.

"D-Duke." I clench my fists and hold in a growl. That boy was bad from the start.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and see Chris. He looks at Fern with a face of worry and concern. They were always meant for each other, they just never got the chance.

Nurse Queen comes out of the office, holding a wet paper towel.

I stand back and watch her soothe Fern and ask her questions calmly.

I walk to the office, marching up to the secretary. She's an overall nice lady, and she used to be a jury.

She knows how it feels to have justice.

I explain the whole story, Emma adding in some things and Becky watching silently.

"Can we be excused for 2nd period, just to find him?" I finish, looking at her with a hopeful face.

She sighs and looks at her watch. "Well, 2nd period is an extra elective, and you all are in the Choir. I'll let you go, but don't tell anyone about this." She winks at me and goes back to her... Secretary work.

We walk out of the school, triumphant, and I look at Emma and Becky's faces smugly. "This is what's good about coming late every few days. She barely marks me off." I watch their slack jaws and laugh. "Now, we've got some work to do." I say, grabbing my bike and launching off of it.

"Let's go."

DISCLAIMER.

I'm super sorry this chapter is so short, but I don't know if I should continue with this. Tell me if I should. Thanks!
