I'm One of You Now - A Coral Girl Fanfic || COMPLETED

•6•

We arrived at 5:40 pm. "Hello, girls," Mrs. Katie welcomed us. "Hi," Liv and I said. "Hey Liv and Steph!" Annie exclaimed. "Hey Annie!" we both said. "Where's Katie?" Liv asked. "On her way," Annie replied. "Ok."

We started off by making musicallys (more like waiting musicallys because Annie's mom wouldn't let us do anything without Katie here). Finally, at 6:00 pm, Katie came. Thank goodness.

When Katie came, with her crutches, Mrs. Katie made some popcorn and Annie picked out a film called, "The Gymnastics Dream". I've been wanting to see that since it first came out! It was about a girl, Devin, that wanted to go to the Olympics since she was five. Then when she made it, she had to overcome some fears, then she was the all-around champion! "So how's the movie so far?" Annie asked in the middle of the movie. "Great! I like it so far," I told her. "Yeah, same," said Liv. "How about you, Katie?" I asked her. "Oh! Yeah, I like the movie." Liv, Annie, and I looked at each other. Katie haven't said one word to us. Yes, we whispered during the movie. Usually Katie will come and talk to us about pigs. But today she's at the other end of the room and her back was turned to us.

After the movie, we invited Katie to go upstairs to Annie's room to film, dance, and do more musicallys. But she said no. My favorite one was Ride by Twenty-One Pilots. It was so much fun to make! I almost didn't notice Katie wasn't there until Katie knocked on Annie's door. "Hey Katie! Glad you joined us," Liv said. "Oh. Oops I meant to knock on the bathroom. Sorry," Katie explained. "Oh. Okay." We all looked at each other then sat down and thought about some possiblities. "Maybe she's thinking about Level 9 states. I'm always nervous for states," Annie suggested. "Maybe she's thinking about a pig?" Liv chuckled. Annie and I laughed. "Or maybe... just maybe Katie has a boyfriend?" I said. They looked at me like their heads lit up. "That's exactly it!" Liv jumped up. "Hey hey, we don't know for sure," Annie said, cautiously. "I saw her typing on her phone. Maybe she's texting her boyfriend!" I exclaimed. That could be it. But it's true what Annie said. We can't jump to conclusions.

"Dinner!" Mrs. Katie called to us. I heard the click-clack of Katie's crutches downstairs. Caleb, Hayley, and Mr. Billy were all sitting at the table. Katie had this dreamy look on her face. What's the deal with her? Anyways, after dinner, I said thank you to Mrs. Katie then went upstairs. Annie and Liv said that they'll wait for me upstairs since they were already done eating. Katie wasn't. "Oh, hey Steph," Liv said when I opened the door. "Hey. What are you guys up too?" I asked them. "We're going to spy on Katie," Annie explained. "When she's sleeping, we're going to take her phone and look at her messages. I know her passcode, it spells "PIGS". So once I get her phone, we can see who she's texting." Liv nodded. I had no choice but agree. "Let's do it."

At exactly 12:00 am, we're going to take Katie's phone. The problem was, she didn't sleep with us. She slept downstairs on the couch. Annie grabbed binoculars to see if Katie was using her phone. Annie gave me and Liv a thumbs up, signing that the coast was clear. If Annie thinks it isn't safe to get close to Katie, she'll click the binoculars' lens once. Then we'll stop moving. When it's clear again, she'll click it two times. Liv was about to grab her phone when Annie clicked it once. We stopped moving. About two minutes later, when Katie stopped moving, Annie clicked it twice. Liv grabbed her phone and me and Liv raced back upstairs. Annie put in the password: 7447. She got in and went to messages. We all gasped when we saw that the boy was...

WORD COUNT: 684!
