Chapter 37: Laughter


    After a few minutes, Alex puts me out of my miserypletely by telling me humorous jokes that crack


    me up. I haven''tughed like this in a while and it feels refreshing. "Well, I''d better get going. I have


    school early in the morning." I tell Alex. He seems dismayed by this news but offers to walk me up to


    my room, which I dly ept. "I''m so sorry for what happened today at the mall." I apologise for the


    second time on ount of my best friend. Alex waves it off, like the gentleman he is even though


    Spencer was being obstinate and violent towards him. I thank him for his kindness and step into my


    room, closing the door behind me. I''m a bit surprised I actually found the room I''m staying in because


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    this house is so big. The next morning I''m up at exactly 6 o''clock, I shower and get dressed in a few of


    the clothes Spencer had given me. "Good morning darling." Sarah''s voice greets me as I step into the


    kitchen. She''s wearing a beautiful dress that fits her pretty face and without lying she looks stunning. I


    send back an equally friendly greeting to Liam''s mom,plimenting her on her beautiful dress.


    Spencer enters the kitchen


    looking like the walking dead but Sarah tells her how beautiful she looks. "I have to get going now,


    because I have some stuff to do at Barbara''s house but I''ll see you girlster." Sarah leaves as


    Spencer and I eat the breakfast she prepared for us both. Spencer drives us to school, sticking close to


    me like my body guard/ bestfriend. I observed that some of the students had started treating me better,


    most of the teachers even made me get away with not doing the homework that they gavest week.


    Even Miss Williams let me off the hook when I couldn''t answer one of the questions she asked in ss.


    Everyone was acting strange, but my day went so much better than any other Monday I had ever have.


    After school, Spencer and I decided to go downtown to get ice cream and food at one of our local


    diners. I couldn''t wait to rub it in Liam''s face, nothing had gone wrong and we were going home in one


    piece. No one had confronted us today, not even shotty Vanessa and her minions. It was too good to


    be true. In the diner Spencer seemed uneasy. "What is it?" I asked, worried. My best friend has been


    acting too weird, even for her. "Nothing." She lied, then when she saw my narrowed eyes she quickly


    told me the truth. "I have a strange feeling. Like someone''s watching us." Spencer admitted and started


    to look around. "Let''s go then, I don''t want anything bad to happen. Today has been going so good." I


    told Spencer and she nodded. We both left a huge tip at our table and left to go home. On the way out


    two huge men stopped us. They seemed familiar but I could not identify them no matter how I tried. "


    Can we speak with your friend?" One of the men asked, motioning to me. Spencer shook her head


    fiercely. "No thanks. We have to get going." Spencer tried to move between the two men, her hand


    barrier from our car. "Just a minute." Spencer turned her back to the men. "They''re suspicious and


    there''s no way I''m allowimg you to go anywhere with them." Spencer whispered hurriedly. I frantically


    looked at the men behind us, then at Spencer. "What are we going to do then?" I asked Spencer. For


    an answer, Spencer held my hand tighter than before and took off sprinting away from the men, with


    me closely behind her.
