8th Grade.
Normally I would be excited for this.
But knowing how much Oli was looking forward to this... and being here without her... makes me feel like I failed her somehow.
And as if my day couldn't get any better, standing in front if me was Gale and her cliche.
"Hey Sarah, how's that little friend of yours?" Gale put on a fake sympathetic face, but I could see the hatred burning in her eyes. Plus, Gale basically spat my name like it was some sort of disease.
I was not going to let her know how much that hurt me. Oli was usually here to stand up to Gale. Oli wasn't afraid of her.
"I always knew you were immature, but this is low even for you." Laughed Gale. She glanced back at her 3 minions, and a silent message passed between them.
"Wha... what are you talking about?" I stuttered.
"You're little game of hide and seek!" Giggled Gale.
I didn't say anything, but Gale saw my confusion.
"She hiding! And you have to find her. Isn't she playing Hide and Seek with you Sarah? You better hurry or she might die of boredom."
Gale laughed, and her and her cliche circled around me.
"Hide and Seek...
"Ready or not..."
"Go find her Sarah..."
And with that, they walked away, laughing over their shoulders.
I sobbed, and ran.
