Story 1 - Horror/Forbidden romance - Chapter 7

"GINGEEERRR!!!", screamed Paisley, crying and snotting on herself, hugging her best friend so tight she almost choked her. "Where were you? WE WERE WORRIED SICK!!!".

"Yeah, not cool Ging", growled Carter.

"We were super bummed out", sighed Mauve.

"I was helping Miss Eaton search for Violet. I felt bad that she had to do it alone", admitted the red head. "And I couldn't be bothered with the movie club".

"Well in all seriousness Ging, you seriously need to tell us next time. Paisley said you told Alyssa you were going to the bathroom", spat Carter, his tone unforgiving.

"Dude, I know you were worried, but Ros-", she coughed, quickly correcting herself, her heart beat suddenly shooting through the roof as her stomach acid rose, "I mean- Miss Eaton, text Alyssa to let her know where I was".

"What did you just say?", questioned Carter, "Did you just go to say her name?".

"What is it?", asked Paisley in excitement after she blew her nose. "And how do you know it? She's never told us her name before!".

"She uh- she told me a few months back. I was curious, so I asked her", shrugged Ginger, feeling tense and hot, almost like an ant being held under a magnifying glass in the scorching summer heat.

"You know what? You really do have a thing for her. It's obvious now", pointed out the galaxy haired boy. "You were staring at her earlier, went to help her all on your own and now you magically know her name".

"Carter, I don't have a crush on her. I told you, I think Alyssa is cute, not Miss Eaton!", growled the young woman. "I just offered to hep her because she was alone, and personally, I wouldn't want to be left alone to look for a missing person who could be found in any state imaginable!".

"Are you saying you think Violet is dead?", gasped Paisley. "That can't be, she's too sweet for that!".

"No! I'm not saying that at all, but she still hasn't come back and we can't rule it out!", she growled, but then calmed a bit, "Sadly, it could very well be the worst case scenario", she looked at he floor for a moment. "Me and Miss Eaton looked many places and turned up with nothing"."I was really hoping to find Violet in the easy places...but it seems that the hiking trail and the forest are the only other places left to look...and if she's out there, well", she fell silent.

"Well we need to look for her! right now!", said Paisley, getting up, Carter dragging her back in to her seat.

"Sit down. Ginger was about to say something else", he said sharply, the honey blonde actually falling silent for once.

"We don't need to look ourselves. Miss Eaton wanted to, but I told her it wasn't wise, in case we ended up getting hurt or lost and added to the missing people list. She agreed, and told me she had called a search party, but that they won't get here till in the morning".
