Soapsuds trailed behind him as he walked back into the bathroom to finish his left over bath. His bath didn't seem so sweet after all. He turned the shower on, and the cold droplets of water ran down his back in seconds. He felt as if he could feel the life of a particular droplets slip past.He shuddered upon increasing the shower. He sure hadn't felt the cold before Andrew came in, he was sure. His mood had suddenly turned from happy to sour. He ruffled his soapy head and washed his torso. He scrubbed his skin down angrily and watched as his arm turned red. He splashed some water on his face, hesitating when it came to his lips, reminiscing about how he'd kissed Ashley with those same lips.He switched on the higher and watched the soap flakes disapear down his body in puddles, then disapearing down the drainage hole. Finished, he took his towel and wiped himself dry. He tied the towel on his waist. He pushed the door open, approached his wardrobe and threw out some casual clothes on

Josh was back in the hospital with a lunch bag containing two hot dogs and a burger which had stripped lettuce inside."Thanks" Mrs. Grimshaw said as she pushed herself up on the bed. "I could smell it from outside. Wait. Let me guess" she said as Josh passed her the lunch bag. "Uhhhm. There's a burger inside, right?" she guessed."Yes. Guess again""Pizza" Josh's smile brightened."Congratulations. You just failed the quiz"Mrs. Grimshaw's smile dropped. "What a killjoy" she muttered. She opened the lunch bag and munched hungrily on the hot dog. "How sure are that it isn't Rex that's this?" he asked."It may or may not be him. How does Rex taste anyway? Have you snuck a bite off him before?""Brave. I agree. Spicier. I couldn't agree more" They laughed in systematic harmony."Mom, how did you that Mr. Preston is my dad?" He asked curiosly."Once day your dad went gambling and tried cheating some people out of thei

Her eyelids blinked slowly and her short eyelashes blinked rapidly in consternation at the blinding light. It stung her eyes, leaving behind a trail of peppery liquid oozing out of her eyes. After getting used to the light, she looked around the room. By pressing her hand on the bed, she could tell that she was lying on a firm mattress. The wall was white and the blinds hanging from the windows had the same shade of white. An oxygen breather was covering her nose and mouth. She pulled it off, scrunching her nose at the smell of antiseptic soap and bleached walls. Fresh air suddenly wasn't so fresh after all.A glance at her body told her that she was in a hospital bed which also meant that she was in a hospital. She was clad the a spotted white hospital gown. Her hand was hooked to an IV drip and another machine monitored her heartbeat in synchronized steps.Beep..... A pause. Beep.... Another pause. Beep.A third pause...And on and on and on in a synchronized h

" Cocaine?"Zoey asked" You mean cocaine,as in the drug cocaine or a powder cocaine?"" Take a look"Hunter said, unveiling the packet of cocaine from his pocket.Zoey gasped, grabbing it from his hand and sniffing it."How did you know it's cocaine? It doesn't smell and this could be powder for all we know"she argued." If it was powder it would have fragrance, wouldn't it?"Chirag asked." I guess"Zoey said" Hunter's mom has already confirmed that it is cocaine"Josh countered." You say what now?"Zoey quipped."My little brother Andrew showed it to her, so I'm now grounded for a year."Hunter said glumly."Cheer up"Chirag said"Ashley could be passing by right now for all we know.""Really? Hunter asked, dragging his feet to the window.He facepalmed."Forgot I'm in a treehouse.He turned back and glared at Chirag.Chirag smiled cheekly."Two things" Chirag said, raising her index and middle finger up."One.How did Jerry get this c

???????????The phone line rang there times before a man picked it up, his movements were slow and precise and he didn't appear in a hurry to pick up the phone"Hello. Mr Toby Grant speaking....???????????" Phew!" Josh said. "That was a close call Josh says coming to a halt."Chirag what do you see?" Hunter asked "The principal said Jerry's body is in one St. John's morgue."Where may that be?" Zoey wondered. "I didn't there was a morgue in Westlake"." How come I haven't heard of it before?" Chirag asked. Zoey rolled her eyes." You've been here only a month, that's why" she replied "okay this is the end of the road guys" Zoey said giving Hunter and Josh brief side hugs."Bye" she said waving to them. "Bye" they waved back to her and Chirag." Been a long time I heard about Ashley" Josh smirked. Hunter blushed. " Well I soon ask her out" he said."Why don't you ask her on a date" J

" Chirag, wait a minute" Hunter said. "What about that stuff you told me in school. I still haven't understood it. One minute, Zoey tells me a kid called Jaden slumped in the Economics class, now you're saying someone else died in that same class?"" It could just be a misunderstood rumor. Maybe they thought Jaden died because he was carried by the students". Josh suggested." I don't think it is" Chirag defended. " I heard it from Dorathy". The boys groaned collectively." Dorathy?" Zoey asked in disbelief. " Dorathy is the biggest talkative in school. 99% of the things she says aren't true. If Dorathy tells the truth, then I'm the queen of England. Do you know last year she spread a rumor that she saw the principal and a senior alone in his office after school hours? She almost got herself expelled"." She didn't look like she was lying" Chirag countered." As if you'd know if someone was lying even if it was right in front of you" Hunter muttere
