"We're going to stop here and rest," Peter tells his small group.
"Good, my feet are killing me," Daniella says.
"Really? They're killing you?" Ethan asks sarcastically.
"Yeah, they are." Daniella throws her pack on the ground right were Ethan's feet happened to be.
"Daniella, you're such a bitch." Ethan tells her, as he walks away.
"Do you like him?" She asks Olivia, who was sitting on a log nearby.
"His nice, you just treat him bad," Olivia says softly.
"Do you have a thing for Ethan?" Daniella squeals.
"No, as a friend that's it," Olivia says.
"As it should be," Peter's voice interrupts.
"You like to irritate me don't you?" Daniella asks.
"Of course not, Dani." Peter says with a smile.
"Next time you call me Dani I'm hitting you. It's Nella, Ella, or Daniella!"
"My apologies Nelly."
"I hate you." Daniella gets up and walks of the trail.
"Where do you think you're going?" Peter yells.
"I have to use the little girl's room," she spat.
"You can't go alone." He tells her.
"Fine, Olivia let's go." Daniella orders.
Olivia gets off her stump and follows Daniella. Peter watches them until they are out of site. Then he turns to find Ethan.
"Ethan, is Olivia okay?" he asks.
"How do you mean?" Ethan asks.
"Is she having any problems? You know anything."
"I don't think so. I think she's just being Olivia." Ethan says.
"Just being Olivia?" Peter questions.
"You know, not talking just crying every now and than."
"Crying, how often does she cry?" Peter is concerned.
"I really don't know. I was talking to Katie the other day, she said something about it." Ethan reponds.
"What else did Katie say about Olivia?" Peter asks.
"Nothing, if you want to know something ask the Katie or the other girls. Better yet ask Olivia." Ethan tells Peter.
The girls return, and the group continues on their way.
(At Southwest High School)
Leah is sitting in her 3rd period class. The teacher is going through attendance.
"Allen Bentley"
"Here."
"Kaylee-Anne Brown"
"Present."
"Kyle Eagle"
"Sup."
Leah mind slipped away from the names. She looked at her schedule, the 3rd period class was marked with a star, as were 5th and 6th. She had done that to mark what classes she had with Ivy. They went to a very small school, and since they both took band and French they had to be in some of the same classes.
"Ivy Scarbrow"
Leah waited for her sister to answer.
"Ivy Scarbrow?" The teacher looked around the room.
"Leah Scarbrow"
"Here."
"Nicholas Stevens"
Where is Ivy? Mom dropped us both of this morning. She said she had to go to her locker. Why did she have to go to her locker? It's the first day of school all you need is a pencil anyway. Leah was deep in thought. She hadn't realized the teacher had called on her. Until the girl sitting in front of her turns around.
"Just tell her what math class you had last year," the girl says.
"Advanced Algebra/Trig," Leah says.
The teacher goes through the rest of the names and tells the class they can talk until the end of the period.
"Hey, my name's Lia." The girl in front of her says.
"We have the name," Leah smiles and laughs.
"I spell mine L-I-A though," Lia says.
"What grade are you in?" Leah asks.
"I'm in 11th ."
"Me too, it's weird that I haven't seen you before."
"I just moved here," Lia explains. "Are you related to the other Scarbrow girl?"
"Yeah, she's my sister." Leah says.
"Sister?"
"We're twins." Leah says.
"Really, I have a twin too!" Lia tells Leah.
"This too weird. What's your twin's name?"
"Mia. Isn't it cute Mia and Lia? My mom sure thought it was." Lia says.
"It is cute. What class do you have next?" Leah asks.
"Let me check, Humanities, Lia says.
"Me too. I have some friends in that class do you want to sit by us if we don't have a seating chart?" Leah asks.
"I love too. I feel strange not having any friends," Lia admits.
"Not anymore. I am your first official friend at Southeast High School," Leah tells her.
The bell rings and Leah and Lia walk to their next class.
(That Afternoon at the Scarbrow House)
"Ivy where were you during 3rd hour?" Leah demands
"Why do you care?" Ivy pushes by her sister and head towards her room.
"Ivy you're telling Mom and Dad about today!" Leah screams. You are going to tell them about everything."
"I don't have to tell Mom and Dad shit," Ivy tells her sister.
"Yes you do, or I will," Leah threatens.
"You wouldn't." Ivy smirks.
"Try me. Tell them by Sunday or I will," Leah says coolly.
"I will tell them something. I let them know what a slut you are. I'll tell hoe you and your little boyfriend Ethan were getting freaky in the woods. Dad would really eat that up."
"Tell all the lies about me you want Ivy. I don't care. You need help. The only way you're going to get any help is if Mom and Dad get you some," Leah screams.
Ivy looks directly into her sister's eyes. "I thought we were best friends."
"Ivy we are. That is why I want you to get help. No matter what happens or what you do, You will always be my sister and my best friend." Leah tells her.
"Leah, I don't know why I started all this crap. I just wanted to do something crazy. I want to stop I really do. I hate hurting you. I hate the way Mom and Dad are going to be hurt when I tell them." Ivy starts to cry.
Leah gives her sister a hug. "Don't worry Ivy, remember I will always be there. Where ever you are I am. Where ever you are going, I'm going too."
The sisters continue to hug.
"Good, my feet are killing me," Daniella says.
"Really? They're killing you?" Ethan asks sarcastically.
"Yeah, they are." Daniella throws her pack on the ground right were Ethan's feet happened to be.
"Daniella, you're such a bitch." Ethan tells her, as he walks away.
