Unbreakable

Chapter 18

I shimmied into the dining hall peeking through the glass door window. I looked around and finally spotted Joel who was sitting next to a girl laughing and talking. I saw Alla talking to Ryder. I glared at Ryder, he never came back to me.

I waved my hands trying to get their attention. They all looked at me at the same time, I nearly laughed but nothing about this was funny to me. They got up and walked towards me. They opened the door and stepped outside.

Ryder and Alla took one look at me and started laughing. I rolled my eyes, "Yeah yeah laugh it up, it's really funny."

Joel was the only one who wasn't laughing. "What is happening right now? Why are you out here practically naked and why are you wearing a shower curtain?"

"Long story short, some people stole my clothes while I was showering. I had to wear this so I wouldn't come out here butt naked."

"Do you know who stole your clothes?" He asked

"Yeah I heard them say their names, it was Stacey and Maverick."

"Not very smart criminals." Alla muttered

"Can you please do something about it? They stole my favorite undies."

"Okay ew." Alla snorted, "Who has favorite undies?"

I crossed my arms as best as I could while holding up the shower curtain I was wrapped in. I sniffed, "I do." I stuck my tongue out at her she stuck hers out too

"Tsk tsk such children." Ryder chuckled

"Then I guess I'm your child." I said soon regretting it

"Doesn't that make him a pedo?" Alla pointed out

I put my finger to her lip, "Shhhhh." She bit my finger, I yanked my hand back, "Ow!"

I heard Joel sigh, "I'm gonna go take care of this okay? You two," He pointed at me and Alla, "Try not to kill each other."

"I'll keep an eye on them." Ryder volunteered

Joel patted him on his back, "Good man."

We watched him go. Alla turned to me, "You should put some clothes on because it's getting chilly. Wouldn't want you to get sick."

Just as she said that I shivered as a breeze blew by. "Right. Should probably get out of this curtain before anyone else sees me."

"Wouldn't want that." She said as she took a picture of me on her phone

I narrowed my eyes at her, "You better delete that."

She shook her head, "Nope it's going on the wall."

There was a wall in her room filled with pictures of me and her over the years. Being goofy to being embarrassing she's kept them on her wall for years. It was a reminder of the good times we've had together. It surprised me that I've known her since we were in diapers. We've been best friends since. She's my ride or die my apple to my pie my- well you get it. I loved her and she loved me. We were the perfect pair.

I tackled her, "Give. Me. The. Phone!" I said reaching for the phone which she held out of reach

"Never!"

Ryder sighed and snatched the phone out of Alla's hand, "Hey!" She protested. She rolled away from me. She grumbled, "That's mine."

"Too bad I'll keep it until you two apologize for being mean to each other."

"But that's too hard for us to do." I whined standing up carefully

He gave me a look, "Tess?"

"Hmm?"
