CHAPTER FOUR

Charlotte sighed and laid back on her bed, She felt like time was moving painfully slow, but maybe it was the homework talking.

She had actually agreed to going to this party, especially after the day she had.

-✵-

Allison and Charlotte filed out of their class, laughing about some joke Charlie had just made. As they walked, arm in arm, the strawberry blond joined their side.

"Lydia! Hey! This is Charlotte" Allison gestures to the girl walking beside her. Charlie gives Lydia a small wave as they walk, Lydia smiling back.

"We've met" Lydia says, a sharpness in her tone. It wasn't that she did like Charlotte, because she did, she just had more pressing matters to talk about.

The trio walked to Lydia's locker, arms linked. "Can you believe that bird attack? I mean what was that" Lydia remarks, unlinking arms with Allison to unlock her locker.

"Is it just me or is Beacon Hills turning into more like..beacon for the totally bizarre" She jokes, leaving out the supernatural mention in front of the new girl.

The two girls chuckle, before either can respond, a strange woman walks up behind Allison and Charlie, Startling them when they turn around to leave.

"Wheres Scott McCall." She blurts, earning a confused look from them, Charlotte especially. Allison just stares at the strange woman "You're Allison right?" She asks, confusing them even more. "Yeah.. how do you know–"

"Where's Scott?" She cuts in again, Lydia turning around to see what the hell is going on. Charlotte steps forward a bit, protecting Lydia. "He had to leave but he was supposed to be back-"

The strange woman cut off Allison's sentence by grabbing her wrist. "Hey let go of her" Charlotte demanded, but the woman trapped her wrist too, making her gasp in alarm.

The woman stared at them intently before walking off, staring behind them right before she turned. All three of the girls stood in a circle, Allison and Charlie looking down at her wrist.

"She gave me a bruise" Charlottes tone was shocked, like she couldn't believe what had just happened."Huh, me too" Allison chimed from beside her.

Lydia and Allison shared a concerned look with eachother as the third examined her wrist, they didn't want to rope Charlotte into anything dangerous, but that might not be possible soon.

Charlotte rubbed at her wrist harshly, hoping the weird pattern would simply go away, but it didn't. "Listen I need to get to class" She mumbled, eyes still trained on the mark. "I'll catch up with you guys later"

And with that, Charlie walked off in the other direction, trying to distract herself from whatever just happened, she didn't even know who Scott was.

-✵-

Charlotte groaned in annoyance, getting up from her spot on the bed, knowing there was no way out of going to this stupid party.
