Don't give glitter to a zombie

The eyes of tiredness

I groggily walk to school, still tired as ever, and still as paranoid of Madam Madness. I turned a corner but stop to stretch my back for the hundredth time, most likely caused by waking up on the couch a second time, after I had lended Carol my bed again, but I digress. I was also now screwed for the next couple weeks since my notes and books where in my bag which the trio had found, I also knew that asking about it would cause suspicion, so I would have to bare through it. I finally made it to the school's gate only to be greeted by a freezing Coraline, she was leaning on the brick wall next to the gate, shivering and glancing around, I walk up to her in question, and opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off,
"T-there you are!" She stuttered through chattering teethe, she grabbed my hand and dragged me inside before I could protest, inside finally she looked at me, "um, I-We got you something,"
"Huh?" I ask, starring at her curiously, the blue haired girl fumbled with still numb fingers as she unzips her backpack,
"Since we know you needed a new bag we though maybe you would need a new one," Coraline said as she pulled out a plain black back pack, most likely the same brand as my old one,
"Um.... I..... wow," I mumble, not able to register what was happening, I look up at Coraline to see she was blushing, and was holding the bag out for me to take, i grasp it softly, "Thank you,"
"No problem, besides I owe you," The taller girl muttered out, now looking at the floor, I was about to disagree but the first warning bell rang, sending us off to our first block.

In my first block I was able to finally relax and think after I finished my work, I thought about how Z and Anon where doing, if they where ok, I rub my thumb over the ear ring Anon had given me, wounding if he new what I was going through, I suddenly had the thought over why hasn't he come the last couple times I felt in danger? I sigh, coming up with no answer. My mind went to the trio, they had made a place for them selves at this school, Anna has been intergraded into the "nerd" group, and by nerd I mean people who are too smart and get annoyed but the more foolish students club, then we have Dami, who has been basically adopted by every group or click in the school, he may not look it, but that boy is a social butterfly, he could be seen laughing in one group then chatting in another in a second. Then last but not least was Coraline, who has found her way into two groups, the more mean girl Esc click and the punks who smoke on the fire exit, though those two groups seem polar opposite to each other our bluenette seems to blend in with both, but Coraline often hangs out around me a lot as well, to the twins apparent displeasure. Sometimes when I look at them it's hard to believe that they are a part of a organization that is trying to kill me, but lately I have been learning that all is not as they seems, I mean look at they twins, sure they're creepy from afar but you would just think they where goth or something, not cannibals who have why too much knowledge about the paranormal world.
Speaking of the twins they have been more clingy lately, I mean they where clingy before but now it's a bit ridiculous , Jeremy picks me up every time he seems me, and Jean has taken up the habit of resting her chin on my head, and hugging me from behind, and now they are actively trying to take me off campus every day, once I was too tired to fight back and Coraline got Dami to block the door so they couldn't leave with me, they gave up eventually but not with out gripping at the trio.

Lunch came earlier then i expected, Anna hadn't really spoke to me that much, only the occasional "are you ok?" and "need any help?", which I would move my head appropriately in an attempt to sleep more. I yawn and walk to the normal booth I sit at, only finding the more popular girls sitting at it, Coraline included, I shrug and start to walk to another table when Coraline must have spotted me, because she called out to me, "Marry! Over here!"
I turned around to see a beaming Coraline and a glaring group of girls, I tried to just play it cool, "Hey Coraline, thanks for the offer, but I'm heading to the library," then swiftly tried to take my leave but Coraline had other plans.
Coraline literally pushed herself off the back rest of the booth and jumped down, walking over to me, "What why? Come on you just got here," she said, obviously trying to get me to stay, but from the looks over her shoulders where not welcoming ones,
"Nah, it's ok, besides there's no room at the booth anyway," I mumbled as I rub my neck, Coraline looked back at the booth and bit her lip,
"Your right," she murmured, "but the only reason we sat here was I wanted to sit with everybody,"
"Sorry, see you later," I say, now at the door to the lunchroom, not without seeing a very disappointed looking Coraline, I felt really bad about ditching her like that, but I really didn't want to ruin her reputation with thoughts girls.

I walked into the library only to see the twins, both engrossed in their books, I thought I could get away with just reading in the opposite corner of the library, but I couldn't really stay quite when suddenly I trip, and the weirdest thing happened, it was like time slowed down, I was falling still, but I felt less gravity as I descended. Suddenly a very large back arm like thing was under me, I stare at it as I got closer, and as my elbow, which hand been pushed out to try to cushion my fall, touched it, I felt a very soft movement of air, and then I was on the couch in front of the twins, who now looked up from their books, smirking slightly.
I look down at my self, eyes wide, first thinking it was Madam Madness, but I ruled that out due to the texture of the arm-thing, it was soft not slimy, then I up and held a stand of my hair, inspecting it, my eyes this was like an new power or something? But something tells me I was not responsible for that save. Finally I look up at the twins in bewilderment, hoping they would answer straight away, but instead of telling me what just happened ,they are sitting their, covering their mouths with obvious grind on their faces, seeming to be holding back squeals. I mentally face palmed, and waited for them to calm down, and when they did I went straight to the point, "What just happened?"
"That, our little lamb, is our helping hand as we like to call it," Jean said, smiling,
"We use it every time you fall, so you won't hurt your self," Jeremy also smiled, then adding " we do that all the time, like, all the time,"
"Yeah, but why did-"
"We do use it a lot," Jean agreed, nodding her head,
"Ok, anyway-"
"Like more then when we normally-"
"Okay, I get it I fall a lot, let move on from that," I interrupted, the twins blinked twice, the Jeremy sighed,
"We will need to explain to you when we get home," I tilted my head a bit, home? But I just assumed I'll be walking back with them to their place.
I sighed and stretched during my one passing period, looking around lazily at the people in the lunchroom, my eye caught some familiar red dreadlocks and went to greet them, but as I inched closer I could see Anna, who was speaking quite fast, and from the looks of it Dami did not like what he was hearing.
Despite my better judgment I snuck a little closer and sat at a table, plus lade my head down like I was asleep for good measures.
"Are you sure you saw them?" I heard Dami's voice ask, Anna sighed aggressively,
"Yes, in the library, where they always hang out," she said, wait, library, is she talking about the twins?
"Yes I know about them but what about Marry? You said they did something," Dami sighed as well,
"Well she tripped ,bam, she was on the couch in front of them, and from what I saw she noticed it too," Anna quickly explained, oh no! Anna must have been in the library with us then! I wonder if she heard any of the conversation me and the twins had?
"And are you sure you didn't hear a thing from them?"
"Only Marry's surprised shout, that's it," I herd a sigh, then they seemed to start moving towards me, I shiver and hope they don't find out I'm ease dropping.
