Trapped

Waiting

"I'm bored." I sighed sitting next to Cole who was reading "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" as he had been all morning. He leaned over and pecked my head as he put his arm around me.

"Read a book." He said flipping the page.

"I did I read them all even the microwave manual."

"Maybe you should write him so he gets us more books." He said looking down at me. "Or maybe he'll give us the library."

"Maybe are you hungry?" I asked kissing him then I slipped under his arm. "I found some chips in a locker want some?"

"Sure have you found any gum lately?" He asked standing and closing the door.

"No but Grey's almost to the office maybe he found some." I said waiting as he caught up.

"Hey Grey you almost done." I asked grabbing a bag of salt and vinegar chips from the pile. Cole picked up a pack of gum and shoved it in his pocket.

"No there was something spilled in this one and I don't think that new guy and Bayla did rounds because these two bathrooms right her are open and they where supposed to check all the doors."

"She's being sneaky she thinks I put us here." I sighed sitting on the floor. I sat my had town on a stack of wires. "Hey when did you find these?" I asked picking up the cords they are chargers.

"The lockers are full of them and these." He said handing a small blue phone to me. "Its yours your name is in it and pictures of you."

I pressed the small power button and the screen flashed on. It was me smiling wide in a black, white, and cranberry colored uniform I was hocked arm and arm with a few other girls. I slid my finger across the screen and opened my photos. Some of me and Greyson and a few people I didn't recognise off the top of my head. One picture was of Cole and I all dressed up smiling.

"Look." I said handing Cole the phone.

"Well we look nice don't we." He grinned sitting next to me.

"Of course we do." I smiled and nudged him with my shoulder. "Well since no one did them I think someone should do rounds." I said with I sigh.

"Do you want to?" Cole asked taking one of my chips.

"I guess but let's check the library you went and got me excited."

"Alright-" he said pushing him self up. "Let's go." He turned and helped me up.

"Okay let us know if you need anything."I said walking away from Grey.

"So library then a big circle?" Cole asked lacing our fingers together.

"Sounds good to me." I smiled up at him.

We neared the library as we zig-zaged through the hall. Cole stopped suddenly and I looked up at him in confusion.

"Why did yo-"

"Can you hear that?" He asked looking down at me.

"Hear what?" I asked pulling a butter knife from my pocket.

"No someone's crying." He said puzzling me even further. "Come on its near the library."

We rounded the corner in a sliding run. Cole pulled the library door and it burst open. We dashed into the large room.

"Over hear." He hollered nearing a girl in a small ball crying loudly. When he knelt beside her she screamed out and pulled her self into a smaller ball.

"Don't hurt me!" She wailed.

"We won't shhh." I cooed sighlntly hoping she could hear me over her cries. I put my hand on her shoulder which was surprisingly cold for how worked up she was.

"Calm down." I said and she peaked her eyes open slightly.

"Oh thank god." She yelled throwing her arms around me.

"What's your name?" I asked patting her back comfortingly.

"K-klarissa Derrick" she said releasing me from her tight and drizzling embrace.

"Klarissa Derrick do you know where you are?"

"Yeah uh at school Plum Creek high and you are the head cheerleader Alana Denver and he's Cole Renner basket ball team captain. Alana do you know who I am?"

"Sorry no." I sighed running my fingers through my hair as she did the same.

"Here." She said reaching for her back pocket." What the hell where is my phone?"

"Locker? Do you know where yours is?"

"Well yah I'm not dumb its right next to yours."

"Then it was probably checked." I sighed standing." Cole why don't you go get Bayla and lover boy and I'll go to Grayson and help her find her phone. Okay?"

"Alright." He said standing next to me he kissed my cheek and left.

"How long have you been in here?" I asked helping her stand. Her hair was a thin whiteish blond that fell to her lower back her bright blue eyes twinkled from her tears.

"A while maybe three hours or longer this thing chased me in here I woke up in the nurses office and when I got into the hall it followed me I tried to go to your moms class room but this is all the farther I made it. Bayla, Bayla Collins?"

"My mom? And yes."

"Uh yeah she teaches trig has since we where six but you don't remember me either so....."

"Who are you to me?" I asked as we exited the library."

"Our moms where best friends and we kind of followed them there we did everything together cheer leading, gymnastics, volleyball, you name it we did it together."
