Chapter 5

"Please, one more time! If you don't, I'll tell on you to the teacher!" whined Tori. Who was Tori? Tori was a 16 year old who was learning at a 2nd grade level. No one hated her. That would be too slack, too hate someone because they had a mental disability. But no one hanged out with her either.

Chloe sighed.

"Oh ok, fine, but after this, I have to go, ok?"

Tori was begging for Chloe to play hide and seek. In other words, make Chloe look like the worlds biggest idiot. Chloe counted to 50 while she heard Tori scuttle away to hide. They were outside, in the front of the school, and she had spent the whole of lunch playing this silly game. Now lunch had ended, and Tori egged her on to keep playing, so Chloe ended up missing her first ever English class at her new school. Oh, how sad. Chloe sighed to herself again as she continued to count. She thought back to the events of her day. After Stace had humiliated her in front of the school, she had sat by herself in all of her classes. During first break, Ray had come up to her and said,

"Umm, about the how often do you root thing? I really don't want to know."

Chloe felt tears streaming down her face. How could everything go so wrong? Chloe wiped her eyes and went looking for Tori. Oh well. At least she had one friend.
