Lock-In

Eight

After our adventure with Nevaeh and Savannah, we went back to the library to get Erica. I think after all of this, I'll  never be able to go into a library the same.

This time, instead of going inside, I stayed outside of the library. Alec and Noah disappeared somewhere else in the school so they could find Trish and Jane. 

"This does nothing. We're still going to beat you," was their parting words. I waited for ten minutes before Nevaeh came out. She put something on my shoulder.

Me, being the curious person I  am, picked up the piece of fabric that she put on my shoulder and dropped the transformer boxers with a look of disgust.

"Oh my god," she laughed, "That was great,"

"That was mean," I pouted my lip trying to fake hurt.

"That was the point," she stated, "Now I need your help. Savannah and Erica are at each other's throats," 

"And you left them alone!"I shrieked and raced into the library.

"- the whore? Bitch please. If any one's the whore here, it's you. Who in their actual right mind sells their virginity to a motherfucking gang leader," Erica's voice spat.

"Who the hell lies about their virginity, huh? At least I told the truth about how I lost mine," Savannah replied back with venom laced in her words.

"And then you went a fucked someone as soon as you return," Erica shouted.

"Guys stop!" I intervene, "We get it. Your not virgins. But right now, this is not the place to be arguing," 

"So? You think you're an angel because you're still a virgin, well guess what? Your a bitch who doesn't know how to stay out of people's business," Erica stated and walked away.

"If you going to be mean to me and walk away, you're going to leave my stuff with me. That means all of the guns and paints," woah, where did this confidence come from? Naturally I would've just walked away or something.

"Bitch," she snorted and dropped the weapons, then walked away.

We returned to Mrs. Ryan's classroom as I shrank against the wall. Tears flooded out of my eyes. I feel like I just lost a friend.

"Oh uh. Juniper?" Savannah sounded a little panicked. In all her years knowing me, she's never seen me cry. I haven't cried since the death of... her. I can't even say her name.

Savannah and Nevaeh were whispering something to each other and shortly after Nevaeh left the room. 

While Nevaeh was gone, Savannah tried so many things to stop my flow of tears. She even tried to get me to steal her cheese balls. But nothing was working.

After ten minutes, Nevaeh returned with a group of three students and a certain someone in the group made me want to shrink in a dark hole. Why did they have to see me like this?

Sorry this chapter's short, I need a lot of filler chapters because of how short my story line is. Without fillers, this book would not make it to ten chapters, so your welcome. Plus, it helps build characters.

Can anyone try to guess who is with Nevaeh? 

I'll give you a hint -- It's not Alec. Not Noah. Not Dylan. Not those bitches with them either. But maybe a character you've meet, one you haven't, and one you know. Good luck!
