The Quiet Ones

Ch 9

Long time no see readers. Again, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY that I haven't updated in months! Honestly, I had a tremendous writers block and was going to just stop writing it, but luckily I have loyal readers like Queenbell14 and GinToki_J who support me and always ask if I'm writing.

Okay since it's been a while... Recap: Being practically a genius, school for Veronica is just six hours of her life getting wasted everyday. It's the same routine all the time, except for one day where a 'force' keeps haunting her. Said force tries to choke her that night though no one can see it. All she sees is her dead best friend who killed herself a few months ago. Lily keeps leaving her these vague messages. Her new friend, Josh tries to help Veronica, but what if he cant fix her past heartbreak. After an amazing day which she skipped with Josh, she gets a weird call from Lily telling her "not to trust anyone, even those closest to you". Veronica breaks down right in front of Josh, revealing her vulnerable heart. But to ruin the moment, someone calls but it's Katrina this time. What does that skank who is with her brother want? Read below to find out....

Veronica's POV

As I see Katrina's caller ID flash on the screen, a bubble of rage took over my body. Not in the mood to chit chat, I furiously decline then silence my phone.

'Take that Katrina!' a voice cheers in my head. Without a curiosity in my mind, I focus on none other than Josh and the movie.

Katrina's POV

*Earlier That Morning*

I usually wake up exhausted and very cranky, especially on a Monday morning. Yet, today I was excited because it is my three month with him, the one guy I'm head over heels for. And I know that three months isn't much, but the connection, the chemistry; it all seems so right.

'You're not suppose to have feelings for him, Katrina. This is not part of the plan.' I scold myself.

I know that I shouldn't, but every time we're together, my affection for him keeps growing. How will I bare to hurt him? Can I get through this? Of course I can, he's just a guy.

"Break it off now before you regret it." I continuously tell myself as I have for the past 2 1/2 months. But instead, ignore my conscience and continue to curl my hair. After finishing the last ones, I put on a salmon sundress with my bohemian flats. To finish the look, I give myself a subtle cat eye with a bit of light pink lip gloss to lighten the colors and add mascara to top it off.

Oh shoot! I'm late and Veronica is gonna kill me! Even though she can be a daredevil when we hang out, this girl is a saint at her one priority, school, even though it is a "waste of her time". She's in all the smart classes and even then she gets the best grades, does all the academic extra curricular such as math decathlon, is never late to class, and never misbehaves.

As I speed into her apartment parking lot, I honk a couple of times and just wait for her to leave. Except the wait didn't take that long because she was waiting right outside. Shit, I'm screwed!

When she enters the car, Veronica glares at me in disappointment. But something caught her eye, diverting her rage at me. Hallelujah!

"Why do you look so nice on a Monday morning?" she questions.

Well I cant tell her because it's my three month with your brother and I want to get all dolled up for him now can I. I hate not telling her because I've grown to really like Veronica, even though that can't happen. Ugh! Do the Sanchezes have a liking charm on them or something? No wonders she's mad at them.
