I Dare You

chapter eight
day of depression

At school Thursday Sadie avoided everyone. She avoided Finn, she avoided Caleb, and she mostly avoided Millie. She knew it wasn't Millie's fault that Caleb liked Millie and not her, but she couldn't help but be angry at her. Sadie didn't even sit with her friends at lunch, she just sat at an empty table alone eating the disgusting cafeteria food. She saw Millie glance at her a few times and waved her over but Sadie couldn't bring herself to the table, she couldn't sit next to Caleb, and couldn't bring herself to sit with Millie. At the end of school Sadie was at her locker when Millie came to her side.

"Sadie? What's wrong?" Millie asks

"I have no idea what you're talking about Millie." Sadie lied

"You've been avoiding me and Caleb all day." Millie says

Sadie slams her locker door shut and stares at Millie. "I'm Sorry Millie, maybe I just don't want to be friends with you or Caleb anymore. Maybe I just want to be alone, can you do me a favor and leave me alone." Sadie stomps out of the school angry, but sad, at the world. Before she closes the doors to the school she turns back and yells: "Oh, and that stupid dare, its not happening...ever."

Millie stood in shock, Sadie had been her best friend for as long as she could remember, there's no way Sadie just randomly decided she didn't want to be friends with her. She had noticed Sadie wearing a but more makeup than usual, maybe she was just going through a stage like most teenage girls, or she might just be on her period and that's why she was so emotional and mean. Millie didn't know what to think so her gut told her to speak to the one person who knows Sadie almost as well as she did. Caleb.
