Smackle POV.
I roll my eyes, as I hear people snigger slightly as I walk down the corridor. My eyes widen as I see a somewhat familiar person stood down the corridor.
I quickly stride towards them, the closer I get, the clearer my memory goes. It was Zay, Sarah's ex-boyfriend, she had showed me many pictures of him. Smugly may I add.
"HEY!" I call out, causing a few people too look at me making my cheeks burn a bright red.
Zay snaps his head up before pointing too himself, I nod and gesture for him to come towards me.
"You know where Sarah is" I state crossing my arms.
Zay rolls his eyes, "I haven't seen Sarah since she broke up with me"
"Well know ones seen Sarah, for over three months now and I think you've got something to do with it"
"Why would I have anything to do with it?"
I shrug, "Well you are the only one with motive"
"Please enlighten me Isadora, what is my motive exactly?"
I push up my glasses, as I lean more towards him, "Well, you two where quite serious and I presume of what Sarah's told me that, you really liked her, love even. And then suddenly she just breaks up with you. I'm going to guess that you were quite angry"
Zay laughs while rolling his eyes, "Look at me, does this look like someone who's never been dumped before, and yes I did like Sarah but I wouldn't hurt her"
"Look, I'm just trying to find my friend"
"Maybe you should just give up, it's been four months" Zay says softly.
"You're saying this because I was on to your scent, because you do have something to do with it don't you!"
"Sarah was right; you are a freak"
I could feel my face physically fall, as my heart sinks," W-What?"
The boy in-front of my eyes widen, "S-Shit, I did-didn't mean it like that"
I shake my head, as I feel tears prickle my eyes, "I don't care. I don't even know you"
"But Sarah did, and she said that"
I shrug, "Look at me, do I look like someone who's never been called a freak before"
"I honestly didn't mean it; I just don't like talking about Sarah. I miss her, and worst of all I was supposed to go on a date with her the night she went missing, I waited at our usual spot for an hour"
My eyes widen, "Wait, so you didn't even meet her that day?"
"No, she cancelled but obviously, she actually had an excuse this time"
"This time?"
Zay shrugs, "She always used to cancel, I think she was seeing someone else"
I bit my lip as I fiddle with the hem of my green blouse anxiously, "I-I'm sorry Zay"
The boy's face softens , "I'm sorry too"
My phone vibrates.
PRIVATE: Please don't tell me you're after my leftovers. Pathetic much aha.
Lots of love, S.
My eyes widen, as I quickly scan the entire hallway. But I couldn't pinpoint on someone imp-articular.
Somebody, well S, was watching me. Uneasiness settles in my stomach causing bile to form in the lodge of my throat.
"You look really pale, are you okay?" Zay asks.
I nod as I give him a faraway look, "I'm fine, I-I just need to go!" I say as I speedily walk away.
I needed to talk to the girls, and I needed to talk to them now. I quickly go into the cafeteria and search for our usual table. Much to my relief, they were all sat down chatting.
"S, is watching me" I say shakily, as I sit down.
Missy spits out her drink, "W-What?"
"They sent me a text as soon as I was stood with Zay, on about leftovers"
Riley's eyes grow massive, "I-It's g-got to be Sarah"
"But she isn't here!" Maya speaks up, "We would have at least seen, her and her mum would of called of the search"
"I agree, Sarah loves playing tricks, but isn't four months a little far" Missy says quietly.
"What else explains it?"
"Maybe someone's just playing some twisted joke and pretending to be Sarah" Riley mumbles, twirling her pasta onto her fork.
"I swear to god, if someone's doing that I'll physically harm them" The blonde across from me growls.
"Anyways why where you speaking to Zay?" Missy asks as she sips her water bottle.
I shrug sheepishly, "I thought he might know something to do with Sarah's disappearance"
"And let me guess he doesn't" Riley states glumly.
"No, he got stood up by her that night" I explain.
"I just want her to come home" Missy says quietly.
"Why? So she can just bully and manipulate us all?" Maya snaps, causing us all the face her.
"Maya-" Riley starts but the girl in question cuts her off.
"What? She used to be a horrible person, the things she's put me through, what she's put us all through"
"Not to mention the whole Vanessa situation" Missy mumbles.
Riley shakes her head, "We wasn't part of that! That was all Sarah"
"Well we didn't exactly stop her!" Maya hisses.
This causes the whole table to grow quite, she was right, we could have stopped her but we were all scared, I knew we were. But I think anyone in their right minds would have been scared in that situation.
My head snaps up, as I hear metal scrapping across the floor, there stands Sarah's step-brother, Farkle pulling out a chair.
"What's up?" Maya asks facing the moody looking boy.
"I still think you know what happened with my sister, and I just want you too tell me. I won't rat you out, the cops aren't exactly my best friend either"
"I promise you Farkle, we know nothing" Riley says softly.
The boy rolls his eyes, "Just fuck off Little Miss. Sunshine, I doubt you even know what say it is. I'm not addressing you"
Riley's face falls as she looks into her lap.
"Hey! You didn't need too speak to her like that, but seriously we know nothing" Missy says giving the boy a slightly glare.
