Chapter 2

Lauren's POV

"I can't believe we watched 3 seasons of The Vampire Diaries in one night." I said to Izzy as I walked with her into school. "Yeah, Stefan deserves much better." She complained as I laughed. Today was our second day back and I was still not ready. As soon as we arrived into the school building, all anyone could talk about was the amazing party at Greg's house last night.

After four really boring classes, it was now time for lunch. When I walked into the lunch room I noticed Sadie; Anna's bestfriend, walking around.

Sadie's hair was short, brown and her eyes were dark brown and small. They made her look evil, but that could also be her "outspoken" personality. She always wore black t-shirts and skirts. Sadie was really annoying and outgoing. She reminded me very much of Izzy, but was also very rude. Izzy and I never talked to Sadie, so it surprised me when she approached us.

"Hey, have you guys heard from Anna?" She asked in a worried tone. "No." We both said at the same time while we walked away. "What's happened to the spoiled brat now?" I said, as we entered the cafeteria.

Today surprisingly Greg was not at school. Which is unusual, because he always comes the day after a big party of his to brag. "Anna must be with Greg." I told Izzy, because I'm sure the question was still appearing in her head. Where is Anna?

After a few more hours School was over and me and Izzy decided to go for coffee, mostly to work on our project for Science. Izzy and I loved going to Sally's for coffee, because it's where we became friends.

When we arrived at the coffee shop we noticed Sadie was there as well. She looked even more worried than she did at lunch. She was there with her boyfriend, Louis.

Izzy and I tried to hide from them, but she saw us anyways and called us over. "Hey Izzy." Said Sadie with the most bland smile ever. "Hey." Izzy replied. Sadie didn't bother to saying hi to me, because she despised me almost as much as Anna.

"Are you sure you guys haven't seen Anna?" She asked again as if she was desperate. "We're sure! Have you asked Greg?" Izzy asked her. "Yeah but they're both not answering their phones." She replied. "I'm sure they're together." I blurted out and she sighed as if she was annoyed.

After hours spent working on our project at the coffee shop, I decided it was time to go home. Izzy and I parted ways, because she had other homework to finish. On the way home I couldn't help but think about Anna and Greg. I wondered where they had gone and if they were truly together.

When I got home I decided to shower and have dinner with my parents instead of watching tv. So I ran upstairs and put my bag on my bed. I decided to check Instagram to see if anything from Anna had been posted, but I noticed it wasn't just my phone in my bag, but another as well.

I didn't recognize the phone, and knew for sure it wasn't Izzy's. I tried to turn on the phone, but it was dead and thankfully it worked on my charger. I decided the charge the phone and figure out who it belonged to so I could return it.

I soon felt extremely tired and decided to shower. I then ate dinner with my parents and of course, they asked me how my day was, and of course it wasn't good. Lately it hasn't been peaceful in the house, so it was good to sit down and eat dinner with my parents. No arguing, or accusations being thrown across the table. After dinner was over, I helped my mom load the dish washer and headed upstairs. I completely forgot about the phone and fell asleep.

Not knowing that the next day would not be so peaceful.
