That night,we were texting each other with Annie as usual. I noticed a new chat at the very top. It was pretty easy to notice,because the only chats I had were Mom,Dad and Annie.It was a number rather than a name.
"Hey,It's me,Marie! How's everything?"
Just then,Annie sent me the screenshot of the same exact message.
Just when I had closed my phone,Marie had made me,Annie and herself a chat group called "Best Buds".
Wow. She was quite outgoing,I guess.
My mom called up to my room. "Lilac! Your "new friend"called. She says she wants to have you and Annie over tomorrow!" Oh god. I couldn't say no,I couldn't say yes either. I was forbidden to wear my bandana to school,as in my school,Winterfield High School For Disabled Kids,we were to accept outer disorders,and learn to live with them. Most kids had schizophrenia,a condition that causes you to have hallucinations,I think. These kids also happen to be the "populars" of the school because they stick together.
How annoying. Well,at least I had plans for tomorrow...
Annie texted me. "THE SCHOOL FORBID ME TO WEARING MY HEARING AID!!! WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO?!"
My responses were usually relaxed. "Chill. I can't wear my bandana either. Just go back to sign language."
We didn't know what Marie's disorder was. Well,we were soon to find out...
