Chapter 2- Skipping school
Lain finally appeared in front of her school looking at the strange buildings in front of her waiting to see if her and her friends were going to ditch. Arisu and Juri where not there yet so she just stood their thinking about what to do about the e-mail she got the night before. Out of nowhere Arisu came running out of the bushes to grab Lain. Lain, not knowing what was going on went with quickly and sat in the bushes with her friends. "What were you doing out there Lain?! You could have got us found out. Don't you remember that we were going to meet here in?!", said Juri with out even knowing that she was screaming at the top of her lungs.
Lain looked around outside the bush and to see only Reika smiling evilly. "What are you guys doing in there? You planning to leave school again without me?" Lain said nothing and the other two girls jumped out of the bush. Arisu looked at Reika only to say, "What the hell do you want Reika? You know that we don't want you around you pig." Obviously hurt by the words that just came out of Arisu's mouth, Reika ran away into the school. The three girls watched Reika run away trying hard not the crying knowing they were going to be found out.
Lain finally broke the silence and said, "We better start to run, or we'll get caught." The other two girls nodded and they all started to run to Juri's house was that the closest house and pulse her parents were out of town so they could skip school the next few days. Laughing there way to her house, Juri opened the gate to her apartment and smiled as her dog, Shinji, jumped out of the corner of the room. Shinji wagged his tail and got petted by all the girls and went to go lay down.
The girls finally settled down and sat around the TV to watch videos. Arisu was making popcorn and Lain was in the kitchen with her. Lain shy finally wanted to ask Arisu about the e-mail that she got. She looked at Arisu and then looked down at the floor, "Arisu, umm I have something ... to ask you." Arisu surprised looked at her smiling, "Yes, Lain, what is it?" "It's.... I got an e-mail from Chisa. It said that she was still alive." Scared, Arisu looked away and said, " Lain, I don't know Juri and me both got one of those. So did a lot of other kids in our school. I'm sure it's just a prank by a couple of kids and want to scare everyone. You know how some of the guys in our class hated Chisa and anyone that talked to her. You never know Lain. The Wired is a weird thing to talk about. No body knows that much about besides the inventor of it. And the Knights, that group of really strong hackers." Lain looked down and sighed as she looked at her toes, " Maybe your right. But
I still think its real. Why would anyone want to do such a horrible thing like that? I mean, I know some of the guys in our class, even some of the girls, but who would really hate somebody that much to do that to all the people that care about her?" Arisu shrugged, " I don't know Lain I just don't know." Hearing a yell from Juri brought them both to reality. "HEY YOU GUYS! IS THE POPCORN ABOUT DONE THE MOVIES ABOUT TO START." Arisu screamed back, "Okay! We'll be right there. Lain can we finish this later?" Lain nodded. Both girls walked to the living room with a big bag of popcorn. Juri looked that the funny, " What took you guys so lo...." Before Juri could say anymore Lain and Arisu shoved a hand full of popcorn in her mouth and they all started to laugh. And the rest of the day they watched movies. Lain still wanted to know if that e-mail was a joke or not. Maybe she would find out when she got home.
