The Day My Life Ended (Editing)

Chapter Seven (Revised)

A few minutes earlier...

They had been searching for me for awhile. I didn't have the heart to tell them to look up. The shirt I ended up wearing was a sickly gray, blending in with the dying tree. My black hair was certainly helping me hide up here.

Yes. I was hiding up a tree. Where else does one hide from friends? They knew all my other hiding spots. The library, my house, and the bathroom. The big tree outside was my best bet.

Sure I may not like heights, as they made it seem all too easy to fall. The branches were digging into my lower back. The branch I was sitting on creaked when I moved too quickly. Still. When running from friends, you have to get creative.

My friends were getting smarter over time. Caroline would no doubt of told them about what happened with Spike this morning. One of them was bound to tell somebody else. By now the entire school must've heard about him. They already knew how odd I am when I pretending, now that I was full freak they were going to hunt me down and make fun of me.

"I'm sure I saw her come this way."

Oh Storyline...it was beginning...

"Morgan, where are you?"

They found me...I'm never going to escape them. I should just accept my destiny to be the school freak, and keep whatever dignity I had left.

"I found her!"

Looking down I saw Lauren pointing a finger at me. I was still sulking from my life about to be ruined to want to talk to her or any of them. The other five quickly joined her, Care began trying to climb up the tree.

"Morgue, what are you doing up here?" She asked.

"Searching for the answers of all mankind and the secrets of the universe. What does it look like in doing?" I quipped.

I had nowhere to run unless I wanted a concussion.

Maddie looked at me with caring blue eyes, eyes that might soon be looking at me within confusion and fear. "Why are you up in a tree in the cold?" Maddie asked me.

"I like it when it's cold. Nice breezes, no bugs to bite, it's where almost every holiday is. What's there to hate?" I avoided the answer they wanted me to give.

Anna could see right through me. "Morgan, how about you tell us why you're really out here?"

Her question actually made me angry. They wanted to talk to me? How dare they just demand my answers about what I'm going through, when they know full well? They'd heard about Spike by now. The Mane 6 had to have told them all about me too, how much a freak I was and a traitor.

"I don't have to tell you anything." I snapped at them. The girls all flinched. "Just leave me alone!"

"You know we're not just gonna do that, Morgan." Caroline reminded me.

"Just go eat lunch without me." 'You've done it before' "I'm fine."

Caroline gave me a look. "No you're not. Get down from there."

'Be careful what you wish for.'

My hand grabbed one of the branches. My legs were already filling up with the energy needed to jump off the branch.

Except I knew if I did...the Mane 6 and Spike would be stuck here...I'd be the traitor they accused me of being.

Plus it's not like it was gonna kill me anyway. With my luck I'd bounce.

"Morgan. What's going on?" Caroline asked.

"You already know."

"No, no we don't." Caroline argued. "You're not telling us. How could we know?"
