"WHAT?" I snapped at my phone. I went on a run after what happened with Hunter. I am so mad at myself for being careless. What if he told everyone just to be an ass and get back at me. Too bad then, I'll have to kill him.
"Emma?" Oh shit I forgot I forgot someone was on the phone. "Are you okay? You were supposed to meet me at JJ's after school. The project?"
"Oh yeah..I-Uh... I can't sorry." I hang up and make my way home. I'm too pissed to discuss some 'project' with Soph. I mean she's a nice girl but she always catches me at bad times.
----------------------
When I reach home, I am super sweaty so I go straight to my room to Take a shower. But then I find Soph sitting on my bed.
"What? How did you even know my address?" I ask confused. She shrugged.
"I know something happened and I know you will get mad at me but I care. Really!" She says persistently.
"And why do you care?" I asked.
"Because that day Hunter and his friends were making fun of me, you stood up for me." She says. "No one ever did that to me."
"Your friends don't stand up for you?" I ask puzzled. Those are some fake ass friends.
"Guess I don't have any real ones." She looks down and shrugs. "Anyways, you were there for me, I want to be there for you." She says hope brimming her eyes.
'Soph I appreciate this but I'm a hard person to be friends with." I say and mean it. Mine and Jackie's friendship isn't a walk at the park. " I hide stuff and I lash out sometimes. Well most of the time, and I don't hang out a lot. Why would you want to be friends with someone like that?"
"Because you being complicated doesn't mean that you shouldn't have friends who understand you and accept you." Okay that's cute. And super cheesy.
"If you wanna be friends with me never say something cheesy like that again." I chuckle lightly.
"Okay then." She smiles. "What happened?" She turned more serious.
"Hunter pissed me off." I lie rolling my eyes.
"Of course. Such a dick!" She says exasperated raising her hands in the air.
"You don't like him?" I say amused at her language. Never have I thought Soph would be the type to curse. She looks like a princess type of girl with her light blue sweatshirt, short white skirt and blue sunglasses. Also let's not forget her french braids.
"Of course not! I've been friends with him, Sarah, Landon, and Carson since we were kids and he always was so quiet and depressed when he and Sarah first moved here at eighth grade. But then when we went to highschool together he transformed to the ultimate jerk as you can see. Such an idiot, we were an amazing squad honestly." She ranted hotly.
"Why are you mad at him?" I asked curiously. Is she in love with him or what?
"He's the reason our squad is in the past tense. And I lost all my real friends." She looked down and I knew she was keeping something from me.
"But you're still friends with Sarah." I state.
"Yeah well Sarah found a new friend in highschool as well." She says referring to Evelyn.
"I think Evelyn is a class A bitch." I say shrugging.
"Yeah me too!" She laughs.
"What about Landon and Carson?" I ask nosily. She flinched when I said that which made me suspicious.
