Him

Chapter 20

Cheryl’s POV

3 August, Tuesday

Wesley has been MIA since yesterday and there is still no word from him even today. When I call him it takes me straight to voicemail. I am so glad that it's uniform day today because I had no energy to put in effort on how to look today. I couldn't even sleep last night. I kept tossing and turning.

Tash, Tats and I are walking to the lockers. We ride in the same school bus so we always make it to school on the same time.

I keep checking my phone every time I receive a notification, hoping it's Wesley. I am really worried about him. I really hope he is okay wherever he is.

'Don't worry friend. I am sure he is fine wherever he is. I mean this is Wesley we talking about' Tashiana comforts me. I sigh heavily and put some of my stuff in the locker. Samantha rushes towards us.

'Hey guys. I saw all your texts and missed calls. Is everything okay? And Cheryl, are you fine? Where did you vanish to yesterday, we were so worried about you' Sammy throws us with questions.

'Wesley is missing' Tatiana informs Sammy.

'Tats! Can't you at least try to be less insensitive about the matter?' Tashiana scolds her twin sister. Tatiana shrugs her shoulders guiltily and Tatiana rolls her eyes at her.

'Wait, back up. What do you mean missing?' Sammy asks stupidly.

'What don't you understand in the word missing Sammy? Or would you like a diction lesson?' Tashiana says with attitude. Samantha scrunches her nose.

'What's up with you today? Woke up on the wrong side of the bed?' Tatiana complains.

'No. You guys are just being irrational right now. Our friend is worried and needs our support and you guys are just acting unnecessarily childish, which is the last thing she needs right now' Tashiana says.

'No, the problem is you just like being the boss of everything and feeling powerful from making others feel horrible' Tatiana complains and rolls her eyes.

'Whatever Felicia' Tashiana flips her hair and pouts. I groan in irritation.

Their bicker is the last thing I need right now. I need water. I turn around and just walk away, letting them bicker all on their own.

...

We in the lab for Biology practicals. I can't even concentrate. I keep checking my phone but still nothing. I check with Skyla.

*Nothing still? *

*No. Aunt Amber is worried sick. She said that if there is still no word from him by 4pm, we are going to close down the restaurant and head to the station to report a missing person, because it would've already passed 24 hours* she informs and my worry multiplies. I really  hope it doesn't get to that.

*Woah. Let's just hope it doesn't get to that and that he comes back* I hit send.

*Yeah, fingers crossed. I mean he is annoying but I really hope is okay and that he comes back home:( *
