Chapter 2

(^just change abbey to emerald, I wrote it wrong, sorry)
enjoy!

After what felt like forever, the school bell finally rang. I grabbed emerald and we ran out of class like it was on fire before the teacher could dismiss us. Running past the boys I sent Conor a smirk that said, "I'm planning something and you won't like it" and he responded with an eye roll. Shouldn't have done that, the torture will only get worse now.
"We getting ready at mine or yours?" Emerald shook me out of my plans to embarrass Conor.
"I need to grab clothes from mine but then we'll go to yours" I said.

We got to my house, I grabbed my key from under the green bin and unlocked the door. Walking up the stairs emerald said, "can I borrow a hoodie?"
"Yeah," I replied, "which one?"
She told me that she wanted the pink BTS one.
"Ok but you're getting it," I said, smirking. Something you may not know about emerald: she's really clumsy and my wardrobe is basically a maze and you have to climb to get things.
She groaned, "but i always fall in there,"
I only shrugged and grabbed a good outfit (top). Mumbling swear words and how I'm going to die under her breath, emerald trudged into my wardrobe to find the hoodie. Rolling my eyes at her behaviour, I quickly get changed and re-brush my hair and french-braid it. "Ya done yet?!" I screamed to emerald. I heard a faint thump and a 'found it'. Chuckling to myself, I walked into my wardrobe and found emerald on the floor under a pile of clothes with the hoodie on the top of the pile.
"I hate you so much you know," she said in a muffled voice.
"Come otherwise we'll be late," I said heading downstairs. Looking in the mirror to check my hair, I see a note that's been taped to the wall next to it. It read:

Hazel,
Me and your father are going on a business trip for a week. Don't burn the house down and no parties.
- Mother and father.

Sighing I turned to emerald, "ready for another week long sleepover?"
"They left you again?" Emerald asked. She's the only person who knows about what my parents do. Whenever they go on a "business trip" (which is just a holiday) emerald stays over while they're gone. "Let's go" emerald said, turning away from the note and out the door. She knows when to drop a subject and I like that about her. She doesn't push for information. Giving the letter a final glare, I followed emerald out the door, slammed it and locked it.

The walk to emerald's house was silent. Not the awkward kind, but the comfortable kind. The kind of silence where you know that the person you're with is a true friend and every second doesn't need to be filled with meaningless chatter.

Emerald grabbed her outfit (also top), got dressed quickly and redid her hair and we were back out within 5 minutes. "What time is it?" Emerald asked.
"4:30, so we're early. For once,"
"Yay because we're early, but ugh because Conor's going to be there." Emerald replied.
"Don't worry em, I'll set the two of you up so you have some alone time don't you worry about that," I say with a sly smirk. I ducked just as emeralds hand would have come into contact with the back of my head. Sticking my tongue out at her, I take off sprinting down the road and turned down an alley, in the direction of the park. As I slowed down I hid in a bush and watch as emerald ran right past me and I sat on a low wall and waited a bit. I wasn't out of breath since I was used to running away from my parents after they came back from a party, heavily drunk. Thinking That emerald had got a bit ahead of me, I crept of my hiding place and set of down the road at a quieter pace so I wasn't heard by emerald who was only a bit in-front of me, checking all of the gardens for all the places I could be hiding in. I stopped as I approached gravel. Now this gravel was the type why a mouse could go over it and it would make a huge noise. And it was too long to jump over it. Then I realised a way to get past it. With a precision that only came from years of running, jumping and hiding, I jumped onto a low wall then a higher wall on the other side of the alley. This kept going until I got to the end of the alley, "fuck gravel" I thought as I looked around for emerald. "I spotted her going through the gate. "I'll have too jump the fence," I thought as I realised the gate was rusty and really squeaky. Half jumping, half running I made it to the fence and not slowing down I bent into a crouch, sprang into the air, landed on my feet and started running again, this time toward the trees. I looked around for emerald and saw that she was going through another squeaky gate "another gate too jump over" I thought. The only problem was, this fence was higher than the last one so I'll have to jump higher. I saw that Conor could see me and was watching me so I pointed to emerald then put my finger to my lips to signal not to tell emerald I'm here. Nodding slightly so only I could see, Conor turned back to his friends and started to talk again. Taking a deep breath, I started to run toward the gate emerald just went through and just as I got close enough I crouched down then sprang even higher than last time into the air. In the corner of my eye, I could see the boys looking at me in amazement. Emerald knowing I was there now didn't turn, just squatted slightly, bracing herself.

I landed right on emeralds back perfectly and she walked over to the boys as they clapped for us. Jumping off emeralds back, we both bowed and I said, "thank you, thank you. We are here until 9pm Monday to Friday,"
Jack looked at me amazed, " how did you do that?"
I looked at him, "I jumped,"
He shook his head and said, "I meant how did you jump that high and land on emeralds back so perfectly?"
I frowned slightly, but only conor and emerald noticed, "when you have a life like mine, you learn to run fast and jump high," I said not knowing them very words would make a certain person very curious and very concerned for me.
