Chapter Three

A few hours later I awoke from my slumber only to see that it was foggy and raining out, and that my family had called me five times while I was sleeping, I must admit, they are persistent little buggers.

After checking my watch to see that the time was 1:49 pm, I let out a slight groan and forced myself to get out of bed. I then grabbed the things I would need for a shower, and headed off on my first mission of the year.

To Find The Showers.

After what seemed like hours, I eventually found what I was looking for, while I was walking through the entrance to the showers I ran into a girl that looked vaguely familiar.

She must have thought so too, because when she looked at me her expression changed to the one of complete confusion. A few seconds of silence went by until she finally mumbled "Kiersten is that you?" not really knowing what to say I just nodded my head and raised my right eyebrow.

This caused her to smile and say "It's me, Kate, remember we were best friends from elementary to the middle of grade ten" That when I remembered, so too answer her question I squealed and attacked her with a sisterly hug.

When I pulled away I looked at her and said "I didn't know you moved to Ipswich." It's true, actually I didn't even know she moved until a week and a half after I got out of the hospital, when I tried to call her and no one answered.

After I said that she nodded and explained "We moved here a week after the accident, I'm so sorry for not calling you, but I didn't have the courage to stay in touch with anyone or anything from Salem. You know, I still miss them, and sometimes when something great happens I still dial Lily's cell phone number" she exclaimed with tears in her dark brown eyes.

I nodded at what she said, because I did the exact same thing, whenever I got bored, I would always dial their number's and realize after the third ring, that no one was going to answer because they were all gone. Remembering this brought tears to my own green eyes.

She must have noticed this because she wiped her eyes and put on her best fake smile and said "Hey, how about you, me and a couple of my friends go to Nicky's tonight, what ya say?" I admit hearing this kind of surprised me, I mean , here was someone that wanted nothing to do with her life in Salem, yet she was asking me too hang out with her and her friends, may I say how weird I find that?

Instead of saying that I looked at her and smiled the best smile I could muster and replied "Yeah alright, I don't see why not." Hearing me say this caused her to grin like the Cheshire cat and reply "Great my friend Sarah and I will be by your dorm at 5:30 sharp. What room are you in?" "I'm in room 304" I replied in a soft happy tone.

She replied in a happy tone as well " Great , see you later then , bye " She then gave me a quick sisterly hug and then left, leaving me alone in the bathroom wondering about the events that were going to go on that night. But what I didn't know was that I wasn't really alone.
