Keep Me Sane

part 2: Lex pov

   I dragged the bodies into the woods that were not far from my neighborhood. I have three options. There is a river there, but I don't think they are dead. I can make a little hut out of branches and leaves, but I am not very good at all that stuff. And the final option, there was an abandoned house about a mile away.
      I looked at the bodies one last time before I dragged them toward the church. They looked terrible. They had bruises,cuts,black eyes, and they were bleeding. I'm sure I broke one of their skulls. But this was self defense. Right?
        I was about thirty feet away from the church when I heard a groan. I looked at the kid who threw the book at me and he looked straight back at me. And we stared. He knew if he moved, I would knock him out again. I knew if I moved he would most likely make a run for it. So we stared. Directly into each other's eyes. And then my senses kicked in. My sanity slowly started coming back. This was just a dumb kid who was trying to get in a fight on purpose. I was just a shy kid trying to go to school."Look. I don't want to hurt you. Or your friend. But y'all left me no choice. I will let y'all go, but y'all better be quiet and treat me like a freaking queen. Got it?" I said in a commanding voice. "Why should I?" The kid replied sassily. "Because. If you squeal or pull something like that again, I can do way worse. You thought that was bad? Y'all ain't seen nothing yet I promise." I said with a smirk. The kid started trembling when I yelled louder,"Got it?!" To which he replied,"Yes m'am!" I smirked and let him and his friend go while I ran as fast as I could to my best friend, Em's house.
    I opened the door to her house and yelled,"Em I'm getting arrested for sure this time I need a place to hang until the fuzz forgets." To which I heard a small,"Whatever Lex." This happened quite often.
        I ran up to her room and kicked open the door."Lex! You gotta stop doing that my door is going to break!" Em exclaimed. I laughed and said," since when do you care?" She then replied with," Privacy." I laughed so hard my face turned red and I even saw her giggle. Em is an awesome best friend. She has long purple hair,plugs,tattoos,and plays guitar. One time I had a massive headache and took too many pain relievers. I called her and she asked me how many I took, and I couldn't even remember how many I took for a minute. That was fun.
     I layed across her bed and started texting on my phone. However a blush creeped onto my face when I saw the name "Gee🖤" pop up. Apparently Em noticed and yanked my phone out of my hand. "EM GIMME BACK MAH PHONE IM GONNA KILL YOU IM NOT JOKING!" I yelled at her as she pressed on his name and read the message. She then smiled and read out loud," Hey Lex! Wanna go see a movie tonight? I know you like horror movies so I got us tickets to go see "IT" I can't wait to hear you complain about how they ruin classics lol. -G"
     I blushed harder and yanked my phone back. What she said was true. "Yay or nay? Yah or naw?" Em teased. I then texted back," Sure Gee! Sounds awesome! And they always ruin classics, but I am going to save my rant for later lol. What time is the movie?" I then put my phone in my pocket and took a short nap.
