~~~~~~~Just a short notice before you start reading c: Readers who read my book before I edited my chapters, I advise you to at least go and read Chapter 7 over again. I made major changes to the ending, so before you read this chapter please go and check it out if you didn't already. Ok, now back to the story x3~~~~~~~
I slowly walk down the stairs, but when I hear another knock come from the door I quicken my pace. When I finally make it to the door, I open it and blue eyes look back at me.
What is he doing here?
"Mom, why is the pizza man here?!", I shout.
"Oh! I was craving pizza so I ordered some! The money is on the table!", my mom shouts back.
"Ok!", I say as I walk to the kitchen to get the money. I really hope some of this pizza is for me.
"Here you go", I say to the pizza man, handing over the money before taking the pizza out his hand.
"Thank you , have a good night", he replies politely , earning a smile in return.
I close the front door and make my way back to my bedroom, pizza in hand. I walk in the room and sit back down next to my mom, ready to take out a slice from the box. My actions are stopped when my mom swats my hands away.
"What was that for?", I ask shocked.
"It's my pizza not yours", she says.
"I thought we were sharing", motioning to me and her.
"Child, I have two mouths to feed and that doesn't include yours. You can go ahead and order your own pizza", my mom responses. Sometimes I forget she has a human in her.
"Fine", I huffed, but inside I am doing a happy dance. Yes! Pizza all for myself!
"Leave some for your father and brother though", my mom mumbles as she devours the pizza.
What a joy kill.....
I get my phone and order the pizza.

I haven't seen Leo all morning and I'm starting to get worried. I walk to class thinking of all the possible reasons why he wouldn't be at school. Is he sick? Maybe he got abducted in the middle of the night? Or even worst....
He was eaten by...b-by a s-spider....
I shudder at the thought and sit down in my seat. Positive thoughts, Angel. Not being able to help myself, I look over at the seat beside and wish that Leo was sitting there. I sigh and look ahead of me once again, only to find Brianna in front of me.
"What happened to Leo?", she asks, I say nothing. If I don't reply she'll go away. Saying nothing and being quiet is the best method for me or so I thought.
"Oh, so you are gonna ignore me now?", she laughs bitterly while I take out a book from my bag and start to read.
"All your confidence gone already? What a shame, life was finally starting to get interesting", she files her fingernails.
"Listen good duck face, your gonna start talking and if you don't you know what happens", Brianna whispers as she places her mouth next to my ear so that only I could hear her. I act like I don't know she is there.
"Well since you don't feel like talking I'll just send this picture to everyone in the whole school", she says as she takes out her phone and presses send. This catches my attention. I look at her, confusion written on my face as I hear the pings of phones and snickers of students in the class. What picture?
Just then Mr.Griffith, our teacher, walks into the class and starts to teach.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the bell rings, I'm the last one out of class. I start walking towards my locker, only to find people pointing, laughing and staring at me. What's up with them? By the time I get to my locker I'm shaking like a leaf, I was never good with so much attention. I open my locker and a piece of folded paper drops out. What's that? Curious, I pick up the paper and unfold it, I gasp as my eyes run over the image in my hand. It's a picture of when I wet my pants after Carter's prank! If I wasn't so embarrass and such a coward I would slap that jerk upside his head! You know what?! I'm so done! I can't stand this crap anymore! It's about time I listen to Leo and stand up for myself!
Gaining a new sense of confidence I tear up the paper and throw it in the trash nearby. Still feeling eyes on me I turn around, "What are you looking at? You never passed water before!?!"
I'm so fed up! I mean I shouldn't be so rude and harsh but seriously!
I angrily stomp away from the crowd, needing some fresh air to calm down. A few feet away from the exit, I hear a voice coming from a dark, deserted hallway. I stop in my tracks and peek to see who it is. It's not nice to listen to people's conversations but I'm so sure I just heard my name...
In the middle of the hallway stood a dark figure, I squint to get a better look. Why does it have to be so dark? I'm about to give up when I see a lock of blonde hair. Brianna. I know her hair anywhere. But what is she doing? I quietly sneak into the hallway to get closer, hiding beside a locker. I take another look and realize she has a cell phone in her hand.
"Yeah, I did what you told me to do", she whispers.
"Of course, they don't know", Brianna says,"Just trust me"
A little murmuring comes from the other side of the line before she replies,"Ok I got it, bye"
Brianna places her phone back into her purse and lets out a shaky breath. She turns around and walks towards my direction, I stay silent. Just as she is about to past me I step out of my hiding spot causing her to let out a startled scream. I turn to look at her face to find a shock look but what really gets me confuse is the hurt that swirls in her eyes. Is she ok? I don't know what it is, but I feel like my mind is nagging me to remember something. I'm interrupted from my thoughts when she speaks.
"What are you doing here?!", she exclaims, anger clear on her face.
"I should ask you the same thing", I reply calmly.
"It's none of your business! Just go and break your neck or something!", she responses as she starts to walk away.
"Why do you hate me so much?!?!", I shout angrily, causing her to stop walking. She turns around and tells me something I never expected to hear. EVER.
