The Next Step Highschool

Chapter 22

Michelle's POV

I wake up and I'm in a dark room. I move around and I feel something wet. It's long and the end is like wool..it's a mop. I must be in the janitor's room. But how'd I get here? I think back and then I remember getting hit in the head and then nothing. Here I am. I grab my phone that's in the back of my pocket. I check the time. It's 10am! I've been knocked out for 2 hours almost! I look at my phone and I see a bunch of texts. I decide to text them.

R-Riley, Ri-Richelle, J-James, E-Eldon, Ti-Tiffany, T-Thalia, A-Amanda, M-Max, C-Cierra, S-Skylar, Ca-Cass, M-Morgan, H-Hunter, Chl-Chloe, D-Daniel, G-Giselle, B-Beth, Ch-Charlie, Be-Becca, N-Noah, Ab-Abbi

guys I'm in a closet. I don't know who did this to me but please find me.~M

it's almost break I'll come get you rn.~R

I sit back and play on my phone. I look at the time and 5 minutes have passed where are they?

Eldon's POV

After hearing the bell we all go inside. We go to our first class which is science. I sit down next to James. He's been trying to convince me that I still have feelings for Michelle but I don't know. I'm back to dating Emily. I think this is better than last time. She's defiantly less controlling but everyone says it's just an act.

"okay everyone, today we will be talking about water." Mr. Figs, our science teacher says.

We all sigh. I look around when I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"this is boring." Emily says resting her head on my shoulder.

I feel another tap on my other shoulder. I turn around and it's Riley.

"hey where's Michelle?" she asks.

"what do you mean Riley? She should be in here."

"well she's not."

I look around the class. Riley is right Michelle is not here. 

"hey Emily, do you know where Michelle is?"

"no, why?"

"because you were the one who was the last person to come in the classroom." James says budding in.

"so it doesn't mean I don't know where she is."

"have any of you seen Michelle?" Mr. Figs asks.

"she was here I don't think that she wanted to come to you're class." Emily says before any of us could speak.

"WHAT?! okay, Mr. Figs, Emily is lying! I know my sister and I know Michelle she went to go get something for class."

"then why isn't she here?" Emily snorts.

"you know Emily, you seemed to be in a rush before the bell rang." Tiffany says.

"yeah is there something you were doing before class that made you run Ms. Beaton?"

"no, she doesn't ne-" Stephanie starts.

"I didn't ask for you're say Ms. Grecchi. Unless it's something related. But if you're just trying to protect her than I'd like to see both of you after class."

Emily and Stephanie scream in frustration. It's now the end of class but Emily and Stephanie wee held back.

"well we gotta go to our classes see you guys later!" Richelle waves as she, Noah, Abbi and Becca go off to their next 2 classes that they have with each other.

"so, Ms. Beaton and Ms. Grecchi, I would like to know why you're friends think you have something to do with this."

"their trying to set me up." Emily protests.

"but you were acting suspicious!" Riley adds.

"it's not you're job to look after me Riley that's my own job!" Emily screams.

"whoa, whoa, what's going on here?" Miss. Kate asks coming in.

"Ms. Vran didn't show up so to class but her friends said she was coming. Then Riley told me that her sister was acting strange and thinks that Emily might have something to do with Michelle not coming." Mr. Figs explains.

"oh well, why don't we have a talk in my office. I'll let their teachers know that their in a meeting with us." Kate says leading us all into her office.

"thanks a lot you guys." Emily growls especially at Riley.

We sit down.

"so I would like to hear Emily's story and then Riley's. I'm assuming Stephanie is with Emily and everyone else is with Riley am I correct?"

"yes." we al say.

"alright then-" Miss. Kate gets interrupted by the door swinging opened and there stood two people with their arms crossed.

Phoebe's POV

I'm walking down the hallways making sure that everyone is obeying the rules when I hear someone inside a closet. Who would go in there? I mean only if they wanted peace and quite. I opened the door and Michelle comes tumbling out.

"Michelle, goodness child why are you in there?" I ask helping her up.

"I could ask the exact same thing." she replies.

I check her body out to make sure everything's fine.

"wait so if you didn't know you were in there than how did you get in there?" I ask.

"well you see, I was walking to grab something when I'm knocked out. Next thing ya know, I'm stuck in a closet."

"mmm, and you think someone did this to you?"

"who do you think? heaven? hell? of course someone did it to me."

"do you have any idea who?"

"perhaps Emily, she's always hated my guts"

"okay let's go talk with Kate about this."

I grab her arm and we go I swing open the door and I see a bunch of people in here. It doesn't look good. I cross my arms.

"Michelle, Phoebe, excellent, we need to discuss something." Kate says.

I see Michelle stand near Chloe and Riley, Emily gives her a glare. Something's up..
