Imaginary Pip

6

Finally, math ended. I was relieved for about 3 seconds before I remembered what I had to do after school. I decided to see if there was anything in the food hall before I went to the parking lot, and I was not disappointed. I decided to order a hot chocolate with whipped cream and drunk it while waiting for Piper and Michael to come back from their classes.

Once they got to the food hall, I offered them both a smartie.

"What do you think they'll do to me?" I asked them. I was kinda nervous about that. Would they beat me up, or would they just embarrass me in front of everyone?

"I don't know. Probably embarrass you since theh probably don't have a single muscle in their body." Michael said with a smile. I laughed at that.

"Maybe. What do you think Piper?" I said, because she hadn't spoken yet.

"Well, I agree with Michael. I mean, do those girls look like they would risk ruining their makeup because of you." She said.

I felt a lot more confident after hearing them say that. It was my first day of high school, after all, and I had never really upset anyone before this. I was normally the kind of person who would try and fade into the background. High school was giving me a lot more confidence, and enemies.

When I got to the parking lot, I noticed that the two girls weren't there. "Maybe I'm early" I thought as Piper squeezed my hand nervously. Then, they walking in with two other boys behind them.

Oh god, they weren't beating me up after all. These boys were.

The blondie noticed my nervous expression and laughed. "What's wrong?" She said in a mocking tone. "Did you actually expect us to deal with you personally? We're just here to watch."

Then she signaled to one of the boys, and he pinned my arms down so that I couldn't defend myself.

"Wait!" Piper said.

"What?" The dark girl was not too happy about being interrupted.

Piper was about to respond when a grey van drove around the corner. It looked like it was in a hurry, and was a bit precarious when parking.

The boys took one look at the van and ran out as fast as they could, before the girls quickly followed them. Me and Piper were about to follow them but, before we could, we were grabbed by one of the people inside. They were wearing a Halloween mask so that we didn't see their face.

I tried to scream, but a white cloth was placed over my mouth. It smelt sickly sweet and I knew I was being drugged. I tried to fight back, but the man was just too strong, and I felt something cold being attached to my wrist.

My vision wavered, and all I could see were coloured blurs before..
