Sorry, it was my Birth Week so I didn't have any time to write. I refused to leave you an Author's Note explaining why 'cause I hate those things! Anyways, I'm back!
Chapter 9: Missing
I didn't see Samantha all weekend. On Monday I waited for her at the statue but she never showed up. The only person that was there was Di.
"Hey, Di," I said when I saw her. "Where's Samantha?"
Di looked at me worriedly. "I have no idea!" she told me. "I told my parents she was staying with you this weekend!"
"Why would you do that?" I more yelled than said.
Di flinched and stared at the ground. "That's where I thought she was!" she said quietly.
"She left on Friday in a rush and I haven't seen her ever since!" I told her.
Di began biting her palm.
"What the heck are you doing?" I couldn't help saying.
"I bite my hand when I'm nervous," Di answered.
"Oh," I said.
Di looked at me wide, scared eyes. "You really don't know where my sister is, do you?" she whispered. "You're not hiding her from me, are you?"
I shook my head. "I wish I was, Di," I told her.
"Should we skip school and look for her?" Di asked, maybe a bit too hopefully.
I shook my head. "You're going to school, Di!" I said. "She might show up at school, y'know."
Di shrugged. "Are you gonna come too?" she asked.
I looked away. "There's no point in me going to school if she's not there," I muttered.
Di squealed. "I knew you were her boyfriend!" she said.
I blushed. "I'm not her boyfriend," I told her.
Di winked at me. "Not yet!" she said back.
"No, not yet!" I agreed quickly and ignored her grin. "C'mon I'll take you to school, I don't want anyone to kidnap you either."
Di nodded. "Will you take me home too?" she asked in a small voice.
I nodded. "I'll look for Samantha and come pick you up when school finishes," I promised.
Di nodded. She stared at the ground and then shyly took my hand.
I looked at her, kind of surprised. "Um..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Sammy about this!" Di said and smiled. "This doesn't mean anything anyway, you belong to my sister and when you two get married I'll be your sister-in-law!"
I shook my head and couldn't help grinning. Marrying Samantha sounded like a great idea! "C'mon, you're gonna be late for school!" I said and started running. Di's legs were too short so I had to pull her long.
"Puck!" Di complained. "You're going too fast!"
"Hey, I don't want you to be late!" I told her.
"Well, what if I want to be late?" Di said back.
I grinned. "C'mon, Di!" I said and began pulling her along quicker.
I finally got her to school and luckily on time. I took Di to her classroom because she claimed to be too scared of being snatched away if she was by herself.
"Bye, Di!" I said when we got to her classroom.
Di looked at me worriedly. "You promise to find my sister?" she asked.
I nodded. "Di, I promise you I will never ever stop looking for Samantha until I find her and she's safe and sound."
Ugh, I know I should have made this chapter longer but I must update for you guys and my mum's yelling at me to go to bed. So g'nite! Hope you enjoyed it!
