Chapter 6- Cold Mountain
"So are you memorized?" Paige leans against the locker next to mine a few weeks later.
"Yup. Are you?" I shut my locker and slide down it.
"Yeah. So now that Craigy- poo and I are 'going out', what happens next?"
"Well, just tell him all the things Spinner and I 'do', and make sure he gets really jealous." Paige and I get up and walk back outside where Spinner, Marco, Alex and Emma are all standing.
"Please tell me I'm hallucinating." Paige says, looking at a- well, a rather strange looking boy.
"Who is he?" Emma and I ask at the same time.
"Remember our friend Terri McGregor? The girl who was in a coma last year." Spinner responds.
"He's the psycho that put her there. His name's Rick, her ex. He used to beat her." Paige adds.
"Yeah and he's your new classmate Emma. He starts tenth grade tomorrow."
"We have to do something!"
"I know! Let's adopt a dolphin. Treat him to defend us from Rick!" Alex says sarcastically.
"Or we can talk to Mr. Raditch."
"Sure, me and Marco can handle that without you!"
A few days later, Emma started the Orange Ribbon Campaign with me and Paige- a campaign against violence towards women.
(a/n: sorry, I literally just watched Time Stands Still so the rest of this chapter will take place during and after that episode.)
"Why are you late?" I ask Craig as we walk through the halls, people running past us.
"I was sick. Why are you late?"
"I had a doctor's appointment." I lied- I was getting my hair re-dyed. "What's going on?" I say as a kid shoves me into him. We hear a gunshot and as we go around the corner we see Jimmy on the ground, with a gunshot wound.
I scream as Craig runs over to him.
"Who could have done this?"
