A Princess Doesn't Cry

Jordan

Jordan gave her a day to heal a little. He went to school that day. Estelle wasn't being toxic today. She sounded sentimental. Right as they got off the bus she turned toxic. Jordan decided to get to the bottom of this.

Jordan ran up to her and said, "What's up with you?"

    Estelle said nothing, but then it looked like she was focusing really hard. Then she gave him a book and ran off.

    "What the hell?" Jordan said.

    She was already too far gone. When he got home that afternoon, he took out the book. He read the face, "Estelle Burch's Diary."

"It's a diary?" he whispered to himself.

He carefully opened the leather cover and read the most recent pages.

"Wow, I- I don't know what to say. Not gonna lie I'm glad she doesn't like me," Jordan said.

He got a phone call and answered it.

"Where the fuck have you been?" Aurelia barked.

    "What do you mean?" Jordan asked.

    "Didn't you get anyone my messages?" Aurelia asked.

    "Uh, no?" Jordan replied and paused, "Ugh, fine, I was reading Estelle's diary."

    "WHAT?" Aurelia screeched, then she sighed, "just come over."

    Jordan hung up the phone and grabbed his bike to ride over. He carried the diary in his backpack. He looked up to the sky, he saw a face in the moon. It was Juliet, but her face was frightened.

    Spirt! Spirt! Spirt!

A car pulled up next to Jordan. There were four boys, they looked mischievous. One with red shiny hair, a big nose, and a dimple. Another blonde with freckles. Another with green hair and a black jacket. Lastly, a tall boy with brown hair and fat cheeks.

"Well be back," one of the boys said.

    Jordan thought they were kidding but started peddling a bit faster. A few minutes later, the boys came back with baseball bats. Jordan could feel the adrenaline rushing through him.

    "You have 5 seconds to run," the 3rd boy said.

"Ok, the forest is closest," Jordan thought.

    He rode as fast as he could into the forest. He hid in the ditch near the stream. He waited there for a minute until he heard footsteps. He soon realized that he had to cross the stream. Hiding close to the ground, he started army crawling across the stream. He started hearing leaves crunching.

    "Why the fuck did I choose the forest?" He asked himself.

He hurried to the other side. He heard a SPLOOSH into the water, it was his phone. They definitely knew where he was. Now with his phone gone, no one else did.
