The Immortal Souls

Chapter 1-

" So......what's he like? " Chloe interrupted snapping a photo of my face. "Who?"
" you know who! "
"Noah's.... alright I guess. It's Chase that I used to speak to the most."
" And how's Chase? "
"He's alright as well. We used to be best friends before my fourteenth birthday." I noted sadly. I hated to speak out about my former best friend.

Chloe lowers her camera slightly. "What happened after that?"
" we just kind of grew apart. It's complicated I don't know. "
"Best friends don't grow apart Erin. They stick together, no matter what." I raise my eyebrows at the truth in her comment. " That's why I have you. "
"Well yeah. But wouldn't you want to become friends again.?" I shrug not really caring. " come on let's get to English. "
We say at the back like we always did. But this time the Wilson twins joined the back as well. I edged away from Chase casually as he sat too close to me.

"Bags off, books open and listening please." Miss Grayson informs the class, sliding into her chair. Cautiously I scan what's going on next to me. The boys are whispering furiously together , but their voices are too low to make out what they're saying. "What do you reckon they're talking about?" Chloe whispers too loudly.
" who knows? "

Chase nudges me with his arm. "It's nice to see you again Erin." I turn my eyes on his face. Only black skin, a pale face, and electric blue almond shaped eyes. Nothing had changed much. " Erin?! " My head whips round to the front of the class. "Erin are you here?"
" yeah miss. " And my eyes flutter back to his again. He flashed a dazzling smile at me and all of a sudden a lump forms in my throat. I have missed him. "So how's your family?"
" same old, same old. Yours? "
"Exactly as you can probably remember them." He bluffs. I can detect a lie in his voice. I steal a quick glance at his brother Noah, and immediately look away again. His face is thunder and he looks like he's gonna kill someone.

"What's wrong with him?" I must out loud.
" oh nothing. He doesn't like English that's all. " I ponder over this for a minute. The way I remembered it English was his favourite subject. "Why the change?" I ask directly.
" just wanted to sit at the back. " Another lie. That's all it seemed like. Lie after lie after lie. Didn't Chase low what the truth was?

I already knew the reason for him moving, and it was not the excuse that he'd used. Oh well. It was good to have him back, kind off.
