I think that my writing is getting better and you will notice it in this chapter...hopefully!
I just realized that my chapters are short so I'll try to make them longer :)
I'm listening to Break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored and it's a really nice song!
BTW this chapter is inspired by the Locker Exchange.
I need to leave, the last time I watched a horror movie I didn't sleep for a month, then again, I was 8.
I stand up and when I am about to take a step, I am held back by a hand pulling me back in my seat. I roll my eyes. Why is he so aggressive?
"Where were you going?" He says in a curious tone.
I don't answer, I can't admit that I'm scared . Do I say that I wanted to go to the bathroom? Too late, now I can't answer anything without it being weird because I am taking too long to do it. So I just stare at him, speechless.
" Come on, stay."
There is something in his voice that is so heartwarming and there is no way I could say no.
This is going to end badly.

I absolutely HATE jumpscares because you know that it is coming but you don't know when. During the scary parts of the movie I try to work on my breathing, IN and OUT, IN and OUT. It's not working, my palms are sweaty and my hands are shaky, I can't feel the tip of my fingers. I need a distraction. Oh how about I find a name for the guy? I can't seem to concentrate, the sound effects are so loud! How about Harry? Nah. INHALE, EXHALE. INHALE, EXHALE, I think it's working!
" Will you stop that?" The guy says. Rude much? Ok I'll go with Mr. KIA, short for Mr. know-it-all, but I have to admit that I was breathing pretty loudly.I fidget with my hands and look down, there is no way I'm looking back at the screen. " Sorry," I answer in a shaky voice.
His eyes are on me, but I don't stop shaking and fidgeting with my hands . He notices my discomfort and takes one of them. His hand is large and covers almost all of mine. I let out the breathe I was holding. I did that really loud. I turn to look at him and he is trying to hide a smile. I least he is trying.
Oh no, there is a jump scare coming, I can sense it. Without noticing, I start squeezing Mr. KIA's hand. What do I do? If I continue to watch I will definitely scream. It's coming, I close my eyes shut and hold my breathe waiting for it to pass, at this point I am crushing the guy's hand. Before I know it, he takes the side of my face and leans my head on his shoulder.
I can hear the jumpscare happening by the sound of the screams filling the room. I bury my face in his chest and start gripping his shirt by instinct. Both of his arms are hugging my shoulders. Maybe this mysterious guy is not that bad after all: he paid for my meal, he accompanied me to the movies and he is making me feel safe right now.
______
I don't even notice that the movie is over until Mr. KIA taps my shoulder.
" You can let go now" This is embarrassing, both of my hands are still gripping his shirt and my face is still hidden in his chest.
I slowly look up and let go of his shirt. I really don't want to talk about what happened during the movie so I stand up to leave.
When we get out of room nine I instantly hear a deep voice shouting my name. I turn around to see Sterling walking towards me with Ellie under his arm. WAIT A MINUTE! They are walking out of room SEVEN!!
I'm going to kill that dude.
I look behind me to see what he is doing and to find him flirting with a girl. Is he serious?
" What are you doing here?" Sterling asks. He must be suspicious, I show up at the restaurant and now at the movies. I look at Ellie and I can see her cheeks redden. What do I say?
"Um...I wanted to—"
" Hey man!" Mr.KIA interrupts, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulling me close. I'm honestly really disgusted and annoyed by him but I need to earn Ellie's trust, she's my only friend here.
Sterling has a confused look on his face.
" That's so cool that you know each other! Now Sterling let's leave, it's getting a little late and we have school tomorrow." Saved by Ellie.
I turn to Mr.KIA and cross my arms, " So are you going to tell me why you lied to me?"
He's not even looking at me, and he answers " I was bored." I roll my eyes and follow his gaze. WOW he is looking at a girl's ass!!!!!!
Without even looking back at him or saying goodbye, I storm out of the movie theatre and head home.

It's 5Am, I have three hours to get ready, I need to be at school at 7:15 in order to choose my classes and get used to the school. For my first day, I straighten my hair and keep my face natural, no makeup. I am wearing a white dress shirt with a red tie around my neck, a light blue skirt with dark blue lines on them and it is weirdly made really short, I decided to wear long white sock and my black Louis Boutin heels to top it off. I really like this uniform.
When I get to school there is no one, I go to the secretary's office.
" Hello my name is Charlotte Jennings."
" Good morning Charlotte. Welcome to WestWood High! I'm Miss Hills." The woman is really pretty, she has radiant light blue eyes and platinum blonde hair. " You can take a seat right there, I will give you your class opinions in a minute." .
I sit down for about 10 minutes and she hands me a paper. I choose the best classes, I never really had trouble with school unless it involves a foreign language. This year I chose French and I'm going to DIE.
My first class is Calculus. I enter the class. The class is pretty big, I spot the blue eyed guy who winked at me on my first night here. We make eye contact and he waves.
" Hey you!"
" Hey! Chase right?"
" That's me, come sit next to me."
Calculus is pretty easy for now, I had already learned the chapter that we are doing in the beginning of the year.
" I'm hosting a party on Halloween, you should come." He smiles.
" I don't really know anyone here so I think I'll pass." I look away, why did I say that? I've been wanting to be invited to a party for so long!
" What are you talking about? You literally met the legends of this school, isn't that enough?"
I laugh, it's been a long time since I've heard that sound come out of my mouth.
" I'll see."

Next I have English.
Omg Will and I are in the same English class!! He is sitting next to Jaden and I sit in the row in front of them.
" Hey Will, Hey Jay!"
"Hi cuz, do you want to eat with us at—"
" Hello class, open your books to chapter 3."
None of the teachers seem notice that there is a new student in their class yet.
"Is anyone missing today?" The teacher asks.
" Ellie!Ellie Goodman" Someone answers.
Wait? Is it the Ellie I think it is??
———-
Two classes pass and it's lunch. Before I join the boys, I decide to empty my bladder. When I enter the bathroom, I spot Ellie curled up in a ball crying.
What happened to her and what do I do??
I wanted to add more but some people have been impatient so here it is :)
