Fake Death Fake Friends

Chapter 12:

One year earlier...

"Hi I'm Ricky. And this is my brother Drew." The curly haired blonde girl pointed to a tall guy with blonde shaggy hair.
"Hello. The name is Lienna." I said glumly looking away. I was in charge of the new kids.
"So is this school nice?"Ricky asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
"If your with the right crowd...yeah." I said holding on to my tutorial pass.
"What crowd are you in?"
"The girls who rule the school." I said smiling with pride.
"Oh you're one of those." A guy's voice said. I looked back and saw it was Drew.
"Yes actually. Do you have a problem?" I asked placing my hands on my hips.
" Slightly." He walked away smirking and left me frazzled.
For fifteen minutes we walked in silence, Ricky and I. Then she spoke,"That's the reason we moved."
"Huh?"
"He liked one of the popular girls at our old school. He got heartbroken. Bullied. And depressed." She softened her voice,"We hope it doesn't happen again."
I felt pity for her. As weeks went by we got close. Closer.

I began to talk to Drew.

10 weeks later

"Lienna." Drew said.
"Yes."
"Will you go out with me?" I froze.
"No. I have feelings for someone else."
"Can you give me a chance?" He said shakily.
"As much as I would want to I don't. I like -"
"Matt. Yeah I know." He said glumly.
He ran off.
That was the last day I saw him.

1 week later...

"Hey Ricky where's Drew."
She turned towards me with half her curls shaved off and eyeliner smeared. Her jeans were torn for the first time. She wore a crop top with a flannel and high-top vans. She narrowed her eyes and looked away. "He left."
"Why?"
"Because. of .people. like. you."
"Can I somehow bring him back?"
"Why?"
"I-I need a friend."
"Oh yeah the rumors about Matt and you." She creased her brow. "There's a way."
"What is it?"
"You have to date him."

But sadly this part of my story isn't over.
