Science of Owls

Nowhere...

Chapter 24

Noodle POV

She was sprawled on the ground like a rag doll. She seemed to be pretty bouncy as her legs were in awkward angles..

A chair was on its side, there were a few smashed cups around her hand she had pushed the table on her way down.

Her face was hilarious. She looked scared shitless! Her expression was screaming at me " oh shit ... I've been caught!" .

Her lip quivered and she had a cut on her cheek... She pushed herself up with her elbows.

" Nazz your still here, I thought you went home already?" I said, kneeling down to help pull her up.

Was she watching us? The cute snitch !

Amelia walked around the corner and hung in the door frame. Her arms folded. Looking unimpressed.

" Are you ok Nazz?" she asked , pouting her lips.

" I ... I'm fine" she stammered , " I didn't.. I was here"

She was lost for her words... or an excuse? How long had she been watching !? What did she think of me! ?

" get some tissues from the lounge room Amelia, Nazz your bleeding" I said.

I felt Amelia disappear.

" Nazz , where were you?" I whispered.

" nowhere" she said firmly, her hazel eyes looked blood shot...

" right... How'd you do this anyways?" I said , reaching out my hand so that I could pull her up.

" I was .. erm..." she paused to think. " I just was .. I don't even-"

Amelia cut her off " here's the tissues , I'll clean you up"

She swept Nazz to the side , and left me to clean up the chairs , table and smashed china.

Glad mum wasn't home...
