I walked down the concrete steps of my high school, Benjamin Rush. This was my favorite place, I know it's School, but here I'm allowed to express how I'm feeling, and be confident in who I am. "You ready to go?" Madeline shouted as she tried to catch up with me on the stairs. "Of course I am, my stomach's been growling since second period!" I looked at her and smirked. "Sadie, please don't tell me you didn't eat breakfast again this morning?" She groaned and slouched her back. I looked at her and printed a nervous smile on my face while she slapped me on my shoulder. "Thanks for that." I gave her a 'I'm gonna kill you' look, and she laughed. "your welcome, now stop walking so slow and get in the car. I'm hungry."
We got in the car and I immediately thought of Panera Bread. "How's-" she cut me off. "Chick-fil-a?!" I pretended to puke and leaned back on the passengers seat. "Come on, we had that yesterday. I mean I love chick-fil-a and all, but I really want some Panera Bread." I gave her a smile and she sent me one back. She started the car, and we were on our way to my favorite place!

As we finished our lunch we took out our share of money and counted it to make sure neither of us were being selfish. "Alright I'm full." Madeline patted her stomach, "Ugh, I don't feel like going to singing class." I sat up, and dropped my jaw. "How do you not like singing class? It's my favorite part of the day." She rolled her eyes and looked up at me, "obviously you do. You know I'm into dancing." "I know," I continued, "but I wish you'd try to like it." She gave me a confused smile. "Okay I'll try. Hey am I driving you back to school today?" I thought about it for a while. "No it's okay I'm trying to lose weight." "Are you kidding me?!" She exclaimed, "You've been 'trying' to lose weight all summer. Would you quit it? Your already thin and healthy." Then I chuckled.

It was chilly as I walked home, and I ignored the fact that I forgot my jacket in my locker. The wind blew in my face as I texted my mom. I always text my mom when I walk alone. It makes me feel better, like I'm safe. I felt a light touch on my waist, and turned around. "Oh sorry." A low voice said under his hoodie. I turned back around and walked as fast as I could without making it obvious that I was trying to get away. He sped up too. 'What is this guy doing?' I thought. My heart started beating faster, and I was relieved that I was almost back at school. Then it happened. He squeezed my waist and pulled me close to him with one hand, and with the other, put a white tissue on my nose.

I woke up in a dark room with dirty walls and me on a metal bed with one sheet. I started to panic and breathe heavily. Tears started to pour down my face as I looked around the room to see if there was a way to escape. No sign of that. Then I remembered that I had my phone before I was taken. As I searched my pockets I realized that my wallet was gone along with my phone. I looked up, down,and side to side once again so I could make sure I didn't miss any inch of the room I was in. 'A door!' I thought. I got up and ran to it. 'Its locked.' I looked down and began to cry once more. Then I heard the lock on the door make noise as if someone was trying to open it. I backed away and sat down on the bed. The door slammed open and the man in the hoodie that took me looked at me. "You okay?" He said. 'Are you serious?' I thought, 'Why would I be okay?' "No." I gave him a dirty look. "Don't do that", he shook his finger, and walked closer to me, " I don't need your shit. I already have 9 more of you to deal with." I gave him a confused, yet angry look. 'My shit? 9 more of me?' I thought anxiously. "Here", he threw me a white t-shirt with pink and white shorts, "put these on. Remember your color is pink." "Okay." I said. He stared at me. He just stared at me. 'What are you looking at?' "Yes?" I questioned. "Are you gonna change or not?" He asked in a loud voice. "Yeah if you'd get out." He bit his lip. Not in a sexual way, but in a creepy way like he wanted to kill me right then and there. Then he walked out.
