High School: A Tale Of Two Friends…
As you know…. Characters aren't mine…. Sorry for the lack of updates on this...
Too far to turn around
So I'm gonna stand my ground
"Sara!" Greg yelped, quietly opening the closet door the next day. He threw the paper in her general direction. "We have a problem." he said, pointing to one of the smaller headlines. "They reported you missing..."
She quickly read through the article. "That was not supposed to happen..."
He let out a sigh. "We knew it would eventually. I was just hoping for later." he said, sitting next to her on the floor. "Now what? Keep hiding, or what?"
"I have no idea." she replied, leaning against him. "I don't wanna leave. I don't want to have to go through the system again."
Greg nodded. "I don't want you to either. Maybe I should talk to my parents. Maybe they'll be okay with you staying."
Her reply was cut short when an overly excited voice went. "Ooh! I'm gonna tell mom!"
Kasey didn't even make it to the door before Greg grabbed her. "Hey! Hear me out first!" he asked her. "Or are you gonna make me bring up the soccer ball incident?"
The nine year old was now silent, making Sara wonder about this infamous incident.
"Good. Now listen. Sara needs somewhere to stay for a while and this is the only place. You can't tell anyone or she'll have to go away and think, then you won't have anyone to help torment me with..." he reminded his sister.
Kasey rolled her eyes, still not convinced. "Ten bucks if you keep quiet?"
"Deal." Kasey replied quickly, knowing she'd won.
He laughed, shaking his head. "I should have just said that from the beginning..." he said, handing over the money.
She grinned, walking out. "Thanks!"
He returned to Sara who was still sitting in the closet. "I knew that would happen."
"What is this 'soccer ball incident'?" she asked, intrigued.
Greg laughed. "When Kasey was seven we were kicking a soccer ball around out front. Kasey missed, ball went through a car window. I took the blame for her but she owes me for it. I was grounded for half a year..."
She smiled. "That's incredibly easy to imagine..."
"Hey! Be nice!" he pouted.
"You know I'm just teasing you."
"Nyah!" he replied, sticking his tongue out at her like she'd done earlier.
Sara laughed, poking him in the side. "We need to figure out what's going on..." she said, going back to serious conversation.
"I think I'll tell them," he said. "If that's okay with you?"
She nodded. "Has to be done sooner or later..."
"I really, really don't want to lose you." he whispered.
She sighed, burying herself further into his warn embrace. "You won't."
Okay, I know that was short but it's an update and I'm making this up as I go so... Yeah... Anyways... Review and I'll update random stuff and post a few new stories in the next few days, hopefully.
