"Now I want you guys to kiss! Just kidding!" The hooded figure said. Wait, a second...I recognize that voice. What the hell! It's...Blake!
"Blake?!" I shouted. "Yes?" He said annoyed while he pulled the black hood down. "What. The. Heck?!" I said. I'm so confused right now. Then, he got up from his seat and walked over to me, his face inches from mine. "I don't like you," he began. "I never liked you," he continued. My jaw dropped. "Don't play dumb with me, Grace!" He said. "I'm not!" I said.
"Oh yeah, then why are you here?" He asked. "I-I don't know, Josh b-brought me here," I said while stuttering upon my words. "Correct! That answer deserves a gold star!" He said. Huh? What's going on? Gold star? What? "I'm confused..." I said. "Good!" Josh said. "So, your telling me this was all an act??" I asked. "Yep, that's exactly what he's saying!" Josh pointed out.
Ugh! I'm getting angry!
I can't believe Blake! I liked him so much! He's hot and nice, and sweet! Well, I guess... he was. But, not anymore. He played me. He used me. But for what? Humiliation? I don't know anymore. I'm so confused. What does Josh have to do with any of this? Blake bought me gifts! What about 'Blace?' What happened to us? Are Blake and Josh friends?
I'm just so confused. I have so many questions. I need answers, people!!
"Blake," I said. Tears started streaming down my face. "What?" He sounded annoyed. "What about 'Blace?' I asked. "I told you, it was all an act! Why would I ever date a girl like you, I mean look at yourself!" Blake said. Josh and Blake laughed. "Oh, and Grace remember how at the hospital I told you that one of my friends dared me to date you?" Josh said. "Y-yeah," I said. "It was Blake!" Josh continued to say. Then, they laughed again.
Josh looked down at my hands, and then slightly frowned.
"Grace, your wrists are bleeding," Josh said. "Yeah, that happens when you have tight rope around them!" I shot back.
I started crying. I couldn't control my emotions anymore.
My mascara was running down my cheeks, and my lipstick was smeared.
Then a window on the other side of the warehouse shattered. I saw someone! A boy to be exact. He had brown hair and brown eyes. Blake turned his attention to the guy. The boy ran right up to Blake and punched him right in his ribs! Blake fell to the ground and groaned in pain. Then, the boy ran to Josh and punched him in the face, now Josh had a bloody nose.
Josh tried to fight back! He threw a fist at the boy but the boy ducked. The boy kicked Josh in his back, and turned him around, then punched him in his face repeatedly and then Josh fell to the ground. His face was already starting to bruise.
The boy walked over to me, and started untying the rope that was around my now bloody wrists and ankles. "Thank you!" I said. "No problem!" He said. I stood up, but I was wobbly. The boy picked me up, bridal style, and carried me into his car.
"What about my phone?!"
"You have two options: you can either go back in there, get your phone and risk getting kidnapped again, OR you can just leave it, and buy a new one!" The boy said.
"Yeah, your right! I'll buy a new one!" I said. He put me down in the passenger's side towards the front of the car, then he shut the door, and ran to the driver's seat. He shut the door and we buckled our seat belts.
He drove us back to the school, and on the way there explained mostly everything to me. About how the three of them were best friends when they were younger, and how Blake was always a jerk to him and that they did prank wars in middle school but they went wrong and caused trouble for the three of them. And about how Josh and Blake stayed friends and wanted to get revenge on him, so he decided to move away and try to make the world a better place.
By the way, his name is Nate. Nate Cross.
He's actually pretty cute.
We soon arrived back at the school. I told Sarah everything that happened. I thanked Nate again for everything that he did. And it turns out that Nate actually goes to our school!
But one thing is still crossing my mind 'Why did Blake frame me?'
