Disclaimer: I'm not even going to write it.
Sorry I took it a while to update…Someone restricted me from my account. For some reason I can't possibly fathom…Back to Linden, she has the chapter…
Lost
Linden's P.O.V.
After Meg walked off with her friends, I was bored. The best I had to do was listen to music on my iPod, so I climbed the first tree I saw and turned it on. 'Over' by Lindsay Lohan was the first song, so I just closed my eyes and leaned back. It reminded me of Jessie, strangely. It's just that his eyes were such a beautiful shade of brown and his hair- What was I thinking? I had to get him off my mind! He was driving me nuts! I had to change the song, this one was depressing me. The next one on the list is 'Because of You'. That makes me even sadder. I wonder to myself where my parents went and why they left me and my sisters behind. Meg never talks about them. Maybe they hated us or didn't want us…I sigh and drop from the tree. It was too depressing over here and there had to be better things to do. I strolled through the forest, so bored I was wondering if I could just fall asleep already when I stepped on something that made a deep clanging noise. I jumped, surprised at the noise. There was a manhole in front of me. I stared at it strangely. It seemed so familiar…But it couldn't be. I haven't been here, at Kadic, for years, let alone playing in the sewers, which is disgusting. I just sit there and stare at it until I'm aware that the sky has darkened and the stars are out. I shake my self back to Earth and take a deep breath. This is my chance to figure it out. Why everything here is more familiar than it should be, why Meg won't look me in the face when she talks about her friends and what they used to do here, and why so many strange things keep happening to me. I lift it up slowly and grab the first rung. It isn't far to the bottom and there are skateboards at the bottom. I grab the nearest one (which just happens to be my favorite color: Midnight blue) and go as fast as I can down the waterway. At the end, there's another ladder and I climb it as well. It's breezy outside and my long brown hair whips the air behind me. I run to the edge of what seems to be an old Factory. Everything seems so familiar, like a dream I can't completely remember. I close my eyes and think back as far as I can. The shapes are all blurred and worn, like an old sepia photograph. I distantly heard someone singing, the voices drifting on the wind, a fire and air blowing past my face…I shake myself back to reality and slide down a nearby hanging wire. There are sliding noises somewhere close. I feel rub my arms at a sudden cod wind.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" I call into the darkness. There isn't an answer.
Back to Meg….End Linden's P.O.V.
Meg was searching everywhere for Linden.
"Where could she have possibly gotten to, she's a twelve year old girl! Look, just calm down and we'll find her eventually…" Yumi told Meg, desperately trying to console her friend. Meg sighed and sat next to Aelita who was chewing on a chocolate bar.
"Aelita, don't you prefer candy to chocolate?" Meg asked her. Aelita nodded and swallowed.
"You have no idea how many cravings I get right now…" she answers, taking another bite of the chocolate. Meg sighs and stares at the ground.
"I just wish I knew where she was…" she jumps as someone comes up behind her and claps their hands over her eyes.
"Surprised?" whispered the voice softly. Meg turned and saw Bella and Jordan standing there.
"What are you two doing here?" she asked, still surprised and not actually grasping the fact that they were here.
"I was in the middle school, too, remember? I was held beck." Jordan laughed softly. Meg rolled her eyes. Bella smiled and spotted Aelita.
"Are you pregnant? Omigosh!" she shrieked. Yumi, Aelita and Meg smiled. Bella started a long conversation with Aelita about what it was like to be pregnant. Meg got a bored look on her face and started staring at the sky. Jordan snapped her out of it.
"So, where's your boyfriend? I haven't seen him hanging around you lately."
"What? I don't have a boyfriend!" Meg shot back angrily. All conversation stopped.
"Yeah, that weird-looking guy….What's his name…Odd!" she answered. They all turned and stared at Meg, who was starting to get angry.
"He's not my boyfriend! He's just my friend! Stay in your own business!" she yelled. Jordan jumped.
"Well, obviously not, since you never talk to him!" she shot back angrily. They stood there and glared at each other for a few minutes before stomping off in opposite directions.
"Well, that didn't go too well," commented Yumi. The other three nodded in agreement.
