Nate
The past two days have gone by really slowly. With my mum gone I had to step up and take charge. I have never cooked before in my whole life and yesterday I tried it. Let's just say Thank Heavens we had a fire extinguisher. So until my mum comes back I guess it's gonna be takeout.
"Hey Nate" I'm looking down at a pair of heels that are clearly to high for school. I look up slowly and i'm met with the face of Sophie.
"Hi Sophie"
"So umm Kayla and I want to tell you guys something can you come to the library with me"
I really didn't care about whatever they had to say, and that Kayla girl must be very stupid if she thinks Sophie is suddenly going to be her friend just because their parents were kidnapped.
We walk to the library in silence, we've never really been friends I only hang around her group when I'm with what's her name again...Peggy, Peyton,Paula I know it starts with 'P' at least.
When we get to the library I see Kayla sitting down with Nate. So I pull out a chair and sit. Kayla stands up to meet Sophie who's standing in front of the table. Then Kayla starts talking about some dude named Mark Benson.
After fifteen minutes of listening to Kayla's story, i'm dumbfounded.
"Do the both of you have a death wish" they looked at me as if I had just grown a second head. "You both went around perambulating the streets of Sandiville in search of what exactly...some old man who didn't have a fucking clue what happened to our parents"
"Nate c-" Kayla tried to talk but i caught her off
"Huh what if this guy was the damn kidnapper, you guys can't go off to any fucker's house because you need to find your parents" I paused none of them looked ready to say anything I turn towards Zach for help, the guy just shrugged looking indifferent.
I turn back to Kayla and Sophie and say "the both of you need to promise me you're not going to go looking for any stranger again, got it"
"But-" Sophie said looking ready to argue, I stare her down which makes her go mute then I repeat myself "Got it"
"Yes" Kayla and Sophie both say.
Then we heard a chair scraping across the floor, we all turn our heads and see Zach standing up to leave. Which made Sophie roll her eyes, the dude honestly didn't seem to have a care in the world.
Zach
I stand up and leave the library, Heavens knows why I was there in the first place. Damn that Kayla girl she was so persuasive. Sophie must really love her parents to hang around Kayla throughout yesterday and walk miles looking for some non-existent swim team.
"Zachariah" I hear someone call behind me but I keep on walking because I know who it is. I start increasing my pace when I hear foot steps close behind me. After a while of walking I stop because standing in face to face with me is Sophie Baker, damn the back stairwell.
"Zachariah I was talking to you, you know it's rude to ignore people" I almost snort she's the one talking about rude.
"Sophie move" She stared right at me, her hazel eyes boring into me, not budging. She tilted her head as if trying to study me.
"Sophie" I said getting impatient.
"Why don't you care about your dad's abduction, you act like your happy he's gone"
"Because I am"
"You can't mean that, no matter what he's done you can't be happy he's gone"
"You don't know what he's done" I don't even know why I am explaining myself to her.
"Zach I don't know anything about your family issues-" I caught her off
"Exactly, so don't come over to me and starting acting like you understand because you don't. Not everyone's life is a fucking rainbow. So Sophie please leave me the hell alone"
"Zach-"
"Fuck off Sophie" with that I walk away.
