Why do I keep thinking back to him? It's not like I'm going to see him again. God, Peach, you see an attractive guy that you don't see as a brother one time and you can't stop thinking about him. Stop, damnit.

That was all I could think about while I was upstairs. I was sent to my room while everyone down stairs talked with Sheriff Keller. I didn't know what was going on, but Betty and Jug were in trouble for something.

I decided I wanted to text Toni, I don't think she was at the fight, I don't even know if she wanted to talk to a Northsider right now, but I just wanted to make sure they were okay. If she ignored me, I'd understand.

But I really wanna know if that guy was alright.

Hey, I wanted 2 know if everything is ok with the Serpents and the fight.

No 1 seriously hurt?
9:32pm

I stared at my phone screen for a second, before I locked it and tossed it. I stretched in my bed and sat up, cuddling the same bear Betty was a week ago when she asked for help with Pop's.

Why is this happening? Hasn't everyone experiences enough death? Why can't we have normal events in this town? Like, finding a lost neighbor hood cat, not decypher a killer's hit list.

My thoughts were interupted by my phone dinging.

9:37pm

Why do I feel, happy? Or, more like, excited? That the Serpents know me, and think of me somewhat highly? Is that a good thing?

Maybe it's because he remembered you.

Fuck. That's it.

I didn't have enough time to wallow in my boy troubles, there was a knock on my door.

"Sandra, I'm coming in."

I sighed, tossing my phone on my pillow behind me.

"Yeah, go ahead."

Even though she already had the door open halfway before I could say anything, she walked in with her arms crossed. My yellow fairy lights couldn't mask the redness in her face.
