Max waved goodbye to Chloe as she walked out of her house, as she had to get back to the dorms before curfew. The time they spent together was actually pretty nice. It was mostly Chloe dancing to music she liked and Max shyly joining along.

Max finally reached the dorms 20 minutes later and went to her room. She walked in and sighed, collapsing onto the bed. As she lay there, she couldn't help but think about the infamous Rachel Amber. The girl that she had recently found out went fucking missing.

Max sat up and decided to do some research. She grabbed her laptop from her desk and opened Facebook. She searched for Rachel's account and eventually found it. She scrolled through and saw pictures of her with Chloe, a dude with ratty blonde hair and a mustache, and some other people Max didn't know.

Max searched for a while until she found a picture of Rachel with the dude with ratty blonde hair, and Rachel was planting a loving kiss on his cheek. 'She probably ran away with him, instead of Chloe.' Max thought, then her face became bitter. 'Or me.' Then she threw away that thought, cause Rachel wasn't here anymore.

Even though Max didn't really know Rachel other than pillow talk after really, really late nights, she was obsessed with the girl. Max decided to stop thinking about Rachel and closed her laptop. She stood up and put on pajamas that she had to dig out of her closet.

Max sat down on her bed and slung an arm around her eyes. She stayed like that until there was a loud knock at her door. She groaned and got up and opened the door, and there stood the girl, Kate again.

"Hey um, I know it's probably none of my business but I just wanted to see if you were okay because you weren't in Mr. Jefferson's class today..." It took a moment for Max to realize what she said because she spoke so fast.

"Oh yeah, um, I was just catching up with a friend."

"Oh, okay. Well, sorry." Kate muttered and then started to leave.

"Woah, hold on, you wanna come in? Cause it's cool to talk to people sometimes." Max asked, smiling at her. She saw a flash of happiness and relief in Kate's eyes before she hid it. Max stepped aside so Kate could walk in.

"'S kinda empty in here, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I didn't bring much stuff from home." Max shrugged as she closed the door.

"Oh, so what do we talk about?" Kate asked as she sat in the chair by Max's desk.

"I dunno. Um, what do you know about the people in this school?"

"Oh, all I know is that you should stay away from Victoria. That isn't too friendly for me to say, but she also isn't the nicest person around here." Kate said shyly.

"Huh. Oh, I hate to ask if this is a sensitive subject, but do you know anything about Rachel Amber?"

"Rachel? Oh! Yeah, she was really nice, and she wasn't a bully like most people are here."

"Oh, sweet. Oh hey, I'm sorry for dragging you in here. You can leave if you wanna get back before curfew." At that mention, Kate's eyes widened in panic.

"Oh crap! Have a good night, Max!" Kate exclaimed as she left Max's room. Max chuckled and waved goodbye before laying back in her bed.

Soon enough, Max fell asleep, while thinking of Rachel, Chloe, and Kate, because holy shit, they're all really fucking cool.
