proving to be the most difficult, it didn’t help that I hadn’t gotten a good glimpse of her last night and what made meters worse was that I never paid attention to anyone in this school. So putting a fate to the name would be very challenging

A girl with a pixie hair cut rounds the Carner, nearly bumping into me: “Sorry.” She mrieurs and sidesteps to get out of Try Way

“Wait.” I called out, turning around to face her. She looked friendly enough to ask her a question without her being skeptical

She whirls around, eyebrows drawing together in question. “Yeah?”

“Have you seen a girl named Sasha Phillips around by any chance?” I had – Fesort to asking anyone I could stumble across, being smart to not ask those who worshipped the ground Gwen walked on

She’d has likely be ipset and furious that I had not handled her warning to Slavy away fram Haideti, which ako included his problems. Which was mine, come to think of it, since I did start all of

The girl’s coffee colored eyes marrowed. – Sasha from drama class?

Sering that I didn’t know if it was the Sasha I was referring to. I just decided to go with my put and nodded. Worst case scenario is that she’s referring to a guy. Then again I did say a girl “Yeah, I need t o give something back to her.”

The girl nodded.” Last time I saw her she was in the bathroom. That was about two minutes ago. If you’re quick enough you might catch her inside or just about leaving”

I nodded, cracking a decent smile that Wouldn’t make someone cringe. If it did the girl didn’t show it, for she only smiled in return and murmured a welcome when I thanked her

As I cared the door I suddenly realized I had not even thought of what I would say to her. I couldn’t just go up to her and demand her to dainalish the rumors about Halden She’d ask too many questions. Questions Icoukin’t give her. It would be like throwing water on a raging fire Yes, it died out eventually but it still left buitis in its wake.

But if I were tolle.

Thinking about it was already giving me a massive headache, one I didn’t want right now. I pushed the navy blue bathroom door apen, the scent of the urime strong enough to assault my nostrils. It hit me like a bulldozer, one so strong that it nearly had me running

My mouth parts in realization. She Teede help. “Wait here, I’ll be back with

Well, it’s not like she can go anywhere.

I scurry to my locker in a matter of minutes, hurrying to grab a hold of a tampon in my bag. When I did, I made a quick dash to the bathroom. I was happy that I didn’t have to meet too many prying eyes.

They’d definitely think I needed to take a dump with the way I sped through the hallway.

I wrenched the bathroom door open, unintentionally having it slam against the wall with a bang as I entered. It closes

I decided to give her pare, walking af stalls away. I leaned on the wall, facing herstall. I pondered if to le about my name but deckled against it. She probably krew it already anyway.

“Arabella. I need to ask you something Well, it is sort of a favor I slippase”

Well you can get any favor from me, it’s the least I could do for you literally saving my ass.” She giggles, flushing the Follet.

I hurmed, crossing my airns under my chest. “Really? Even if that favor has something to do with Haiden Cross?” I kicked back one leg to rest it against the wall behind me

The flushing dies down and for a few seconds, everything is mute. I could only hear my breathing until the door of the stall opens slowly. Sasha comes out, almost hesitating She looks like she was Weighing her options, either to make a run for the bathroom door or head back i for the bathroom door or head backi

Both would be fruitless seeing that she couldn’t exactly make a run for the door without passing me on the way and going back in the stall would even be the dumber option. She was stuck inside here with me, whether she liked it or not.

Her blonde hair was plaited in a long braid that flowed down her back and her blue eyes, the color of the darkest part of the ocean, peered at me in what I presume was alarm.

She must’ve figured out what she’d do seeing that she closed the stall’s door and lets out a shaky breath. “What do you want?”
