The Boys And Her

Chapter 40

*Hazel's POV*

          I was looking at myself in the mirror. I wore black skinny jeans, a white tank top with a black and white athletic jacket and black high tops. It was Wednesday and all of Monday and Tuesday my friends and I have been trying to figure out who the unknown number was.

          We narrowed it down to people who might not like Mars or any of us. Daniela, Jamie, and Olivia. We haven't got much but we're trying to to make it work. We've only gotten to talk with Jamie. Daniela, we're gonna talk to today and for Olivia, no one's heard of. She hasn't been at school for two weeks.

My phone buzzed on my desk. It was Ryan.

Ryan: Yo hurry up we got an eye on Olivia. She be back! Everyone's here already.

          I dropped the brush that was in my hand and grabbed my phone and backpack and ran out the room. "TERRENCE!" I said banging on his door. "WE GOT TO GO!" I shouted. He opened it. Clearly annoyed.

          "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" "We got to go! Like now! Come on!" I said running down the hall. He grabbed his bag and ran after me. "Bye Sabrina!" We both said.

          She was sitting at the table waiting for her ride. "Bye!" We grabbed our skateboards but didn't use them.

          "What's going on?" Terrence asked as we slowed down. I got excited that we might find an answer so I told him. "My friend Mars is getting bullied by text and we might find out who it is today!" I squealed. "And you're excited about?" He arched his eyebrow. I nodded my head and ran the rest of the way to school.

-------------------------------------------------------

          I walked quickly through the hall trying to get to Mel and the guys. I finally reached them. I was out of breathe and panting.

          "What's wrong with you?" Kyle asked. "Ryan...told me...Olivia was...back." I said with my hands on my knees. I was really out of shape. "Wait really?!" Mars said looking at me. "Where is he?" I asked.

          All of a sudden Ryan comes running down the hall, moving people out of the way. Bryan stopped him before he hit the locker.

          "Guys, guys, guys! Olivia's here. Now we can go ask her questions!" Ryan said between breathes. "Where is she?" Grant asked. "Outside." Ryan coughed. "On the other side of school?" Andrew asked. Ryan nodded. "Then let's go!" Melanie shouted.

          We all then took off the down the hallway. Excited and scared to see if it was her. It felt odd to be so excited over something so bad, but we couldn't control the curiosity.

          We stopped outside and started looking around. I saw her talking to two other girls. "There she is!" Kyle shouted before I did. We all ran up to her and started bombarding her with questions.

          "Woah. Woah. Woah." Olivia said holding her hands up in defense. "We need to talk to you." Bryan said breathing heavily. "Like? All of you?" She questioned. We all nodded, too out of breathe to speak. "Um, okay. Girls, if you could?" She turned to the two girls. They left without hesitation.

          "Okay what is it?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest. All of us went quiet. This was never planned out.

          "Well?" She asked. "Oh, right." Ryan said. He took Mars' phone and typed in the password. Bryan began talking for him. "Olivia, recently Mars has been going through some things. And one of them, we think you stared." Bryan said.
