CHAPTER THREE

ELIZABETH:

"hey Betty" Alex came running to the locker room towards me. One word for Alex.. Crazy.

"Yes Ally good morning" I said as I closed my locker.

" why are you so late. The bell rang few minutes ago" I said trying to hold my tablets for the day to my chest.

" I'm sorry. My mum offered to drive me to school and I couldn't just say so" she said as she opened her locker.

" yeah yeah" I said nodding, then I rested my back against my locker, waiting patiently for her.

" I can feel and hear the sarcasm in your voice Betty but whatever you certainly aren't going to make me feel bad for coming late to school" she said then I rolled my eyes at her.

" whatever. How was your weekend without me?" She asked as she packed all her tabs for the day.

" you know you can just pick the tabs for first second and third periods and after lunch we would be back to pick the rest" I said ignoring her question.

" I know you are trying to ignore my question. Good tactics but its not going to work. Tell me how you spent it" she said as she finally closed her locker. I groaned.

" geez Ally its first period already and we are late so cut the questions and lets hurry to class. I will answer you during lunch break" I said and she just stopped and stared at me with this ' I don't believe you' look.

" I don't believe you Betty . let's just go before you bite my head off. I mean its just literature class. So boring right. We are just going to go back to reading Othello's boring 'hamlet'. Who even put that novel in our time table" Ally whined as we walked to literature class. We entered the class.

" quit whining butt face" I said chuckling . Ally sighed as she pulled me along to the only vacant seat. Which was next to one hot guy, well not that I care. I shot Ally weird glances as we took our seats. 

" oh stop with those stares. One would think I stole your lucky whatever" she scoffed as she pulled her literature book ' hamlet' out. I sighed and just brought mine out too as the literature teacher, Mrs Higgins came into the class room and cleared her throat. I have always thought her name was weird and I still think so now.

" good morning Mrs Higgins" the class chorused well excluding me. 

" well keep it to yourselves. Now we aren't going to read our novel today" she said and everyone yelled with happy cheers.. Well except me, I kind of like reading .

" we are going to write a test instead" she smirked.. I spoke too soon. Really? Test?. I'm not even prepared for a test. We all aren't and I know this due to the murmurings in class. I stare at Ally who was giving me sad looks. I rolled my eyes and looked forward as she started passing test scripts out.. Damn!!!

  

" you know you can always tell me if anything is bothering you Betty" 

What if he finds me? What if he kills mum and I? He can't find me right?  We moved far away . I'm so scared what do I do?.

" Betty!!!" 

God he killed Radena, will he kill me too? He will definitely kill me and then he will kill mum and then kill Ally and everyone I am going to love. See this is why I don't want to get close to Ally or any one in particular in this school. I'm just bad luck. Maybe if I die it will be better after all, at least no one else will suffer like Radena did. I will never forgive myself for killing her... 

" Betty!!!" 

" oh my God what!" I asked her as I stared hard at her 

" you are doing that stuff you do all the time, zoning out on me every fucking time" she said and frowned.

" language" I muttered

" you are not my freaking mother . Betty what's wrong. You can tell me anything" she said again, her voice laced with concern. 

You don't know how much I want to tell you what's bothering me Ally, I really want to but I can't. I can't put you in danger.

" I'm fine Ally. How was P.E class?" I asked her as I changed the topic. Don't blame me, I feel so uncomfortable discussing this and I don't even want to tell her anything.

  Immediately her face lights up and she beams. A beautiful smile spread across her beautiful pink plump lips. Ally is a brunette with a little strand of pink in her hair. She was five feet 9 inches tall and yes she is taller than me but just with two inches. She is skinny and she has a perfect shape. Her mum is from England while her dad is from Russia.. Weird match right I know, how the hell did they meet. So you should understand, she is an half cast. Her skin is pale white and she has very black eye balls. Her full name is Alexandria visha Paige.. She hates all her names because she feels her parents took turns to name her that's why she loves Ally, it makes her sound american. That's Ally, my best friend.

" well I loved P.E  today, Cole was there too. And guess what! He spoke to me today... Do you know what he said..  So I threw a ball at him and he said ' who the fuck threw that ball' " she said and I burst out laughing.

" he didn't talk to you Ally, he basically cursed at the person who threw the ball and thats you.. " I said still laughing.

" you have no right to say that Betty, you don't even like anyone. Thats weird. And soon Cole will be mine" she said and she blew air on her nails. I rolled my eyes and nod my head.

" fine suit yourself. I will be here for you when your heart gets broken" I said and picked my chicken nugget and placed it in my mouth to take a bite.

" Christ Christ!!!! Fuck!!!" Ally yelled pulling my hands, making me spill the ketch up in the chicken nugget on my cheek as my chicken dropped to the ground. 

" what the hell" I fumed and I stared at her but she wasn't staring at me, she was staring at the door. I followed her direction to see that four guys entered the cafeteria, and now all the girls were eyeing them flirtingly including my best friend.

" Thats Cole" ally muttered and squeaked.. I looked back at four boys.. I don't know who Cole is yet but they were all cute

Did I just say that?

Scratch it out... 

I faced my food again and ignored everything that was going on around me as I tried to jab on my cheek to clean the spilled ketch up. 

" this is a mess" I said and stared at my white crop top, I had ketch up on it too. Great just great. 

" I'm going to wash the stain off" I said to Ally but I'm sure she didn't hear me, she was busy ogling who ever Cole was. So I just stood up, packed my bags and walk towards the door still trying to jab at my cloth when I hit a person..

" can you please watch where you are going" I muttered and left without shooting the person a second glance.
