I'm So Glad I Found You : Quintis Fic

Chapter 3

"So kid, what's your name" Cabe asks, while the team discussed the circumstances.

"Anneliese Sage Reeves, but I like to be called Sage. It's easier" she responded with a grunt looking down at her lap and playing with the skateboard wheels yet again, watching them spin in a circular motion. It was soothing, it helped her calm down in high-stress situations it seemed.

After she spoke Sylvester had rushed over to the laptop and began typing on the computer. Most likely looking her up to get more information. Luckily he wouldn't find anything she didn't want them to know.

The team gathered around him and the computer, they whispered things to each other so Sage couldn't hear. Which she definitely didn't like, but she'd just have to deal with it because she didn't really have a choice at the moment.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket, and she pulled it out, reading the text from her friend Colby.
Colby: Where R U?!

She groaned before texting back something quick in response, then pushing her cheap phone back into her back pocket. She couldn't believe she actually forgot about school again.

Everyone was still crowded around the computer talking a little bit louder now. She still couldn't entirely make out what they were saying, but she didn't care anymore. She looked to her side and noticed that Cabe had moved from his spot blocking the door. Giving her a clear path for a clean getaway.

Reaching down, she picked up her backpack and the skateboard as quietly as she could. She threw the backpack over her shoulder and tiptoed towards the door.

Once she got ahold of the knob she threw it open and sprinted away from the garage as fast as her feet would carry her. Or at least as fast as she could go with a limp on her right leg.

She could here some distant shouts behind her, but she didn't look back. She just kept on running.

She arrived at Palms Middle School around the time the seventh graders were being released to go to lunch.

Rushing into the school and opening her locker to throw her stuff in so she could go eat lunch. Which wasn't usually that good in the first place. She wouldn't be surprised if the food was made from pink goo instead of actual ingredients.

When she closed her locker a tall blonde boy was standing there looking down at her, with a concerned frown. His eyebrows lowered above his green eyes as he stared at her with an unamused expression.

She jumped, then soon relaxed and released her breath after realizing who it was.

"Colby, don't scare me like that" she huffed, leaning her shoulder momentarily in the side of her locker.

"Well you shouldn't scare me either. I had no clue where you were" he pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. He grabbed either side of her face, and jerked her head forward to get a look at a cut above her eye then squinted in annoyance.

"What the heck were you doing?" He interrogated glancing down at her torn jeans, and at the way she was favoring her right leg.

"Nothing, I'm fine." It was a boldfaced lie, and she wasn't at all ashamed, but he wasn't at all fooled either.

"I know you're lying Reeves" he said, narrowing his eyes at her.

She rolled her eyes and shoved the skateboard from earlier into his chest and grinned. Disregarding their previous conversation.

"While I was out, I found the jerk who stole your board, and I may have stolen it back for you" she said smugly.

Colby chuckled under his breath and opened the locker next to hers and placed it in, along with his other books and papers.
