It was a fine, peaceful day in the area. The birds were singing and the air was fresh as the first day of summer sprang to life. Rae was lounging around, wearing a fluffy jacket under the covers talking to her friend, Violet. "Why do you need to wear that jacket, its boiling hot outside. And under the covers, to? You would think it was the middle of Winter, not the first day of Summer." Violet said, surprised at what her friend was doing.
"Well I'm sorry that I'm lazy. How can YOU say anything, your lounging around to." Rae replied, trying to be mad, but smiling. This had been going on for several hours, between games, recording videos and eating food. Rae was just about to leave when the two suddenly received an urgent text from Owen.
GUYS, YOU HAVE TO COME OVER TO MY PLACE RIGHT NOW THERE IS SOMETHING WAY COOL THAT I NEED TO SHOW YOU. I CANT SEND A VIDEO OR YOU WONT BELIEVE ME ITS SO COOL LIKE HURRY UP!
Rae and Violet quickly glanced at each other, before bursting out laughing, almost to the point of tears. After a solid few minutes of laughing, they slowed down and texted him back.
Heh, really Owen? You think a text message like THAT will work again? Don't you remember last time? You called us over then because you somehow got cream cheese up your nose. Well, we aren't coming over this time. See you at school Owen.
- Rae and Violet.
"Hopefully THAT has given him the message" Violet said giggling.
"Yea, I still can't believe he wants us to come over after what happened last time. We thought that something bad had actually happened" Rae replied with a sigh. "Oh well, I have to go. See you at school Violet!"
"Bye Rae, hopefully Owen won't be in class with cheese up his nose again" Violet yelled down the stairs with a hint of sarcasm. Loud laughter filled the house, followed by the front door slamming.
The next day went as normal. Boring classes, making up excuses for homework, followed by sweet, sweet recess. But, something was strange. "Hey, Violet, have you seen Owen today? I haven't gotten any annoying texts from him or stupid videos" Rae said with a worried look on her face.
"Nope, haven't seen him. Why do you care so much Rae? He probably didn't want to be a laughing stock at school again today" Violet replied, while she stuffed her face with a home-made cookie.
"Yea, I guess your right. But, what if you aren't?" Rae said, leaving Violet a bit shocked.
"How so?" She replied.
"Well, he did say that we wouldn't believe him if he sent a video. Maybe that was because he couldn't send one. What if something or someONE was holding him back. Or, maybe he put himself into danger. The cream cheese incident was funny, but we had to take him to the doctors to get the last bit out. He could be in serious trouble and we wouldn't know. He might have tried to warn us, but we didn't take his warning seriousl—"
Rae was interrupted by the school bell ringing, loud and proud over their heads. "It's ok Rae, everything will be fine. If he isn't at school for the next few days, we can head on over to his place and check things out. Now, I have to go to geometry. Hopefully I won't get detention for it. Have fun in art!" Violet said with a smile, as she was drowned out by the loud voices of the other students.
