Por Favor - Chapter 8
SKY
Nobody has seen or heard from Bloom. I told the boys about what Bloom told me and her disappearance this morning. They just shrugged it off and told me to forget about her. I agreed to their advice, but no matter how hard I tried...I couldn't.
Crystal and the girls come over to us, looking somewhat worried, minus Stella who was still upset about her favorite shirt being ruined and having to wear her second favorite.
"Have any of you guys seen or heard from Bloom? It's been a week" Flora asked in her mother voice. We exchanged glances then shook our heads.
"Weird. People don't usually just disappear-"
"Who cares?! It's her life. We don't even know anything about the girl. What we do know is that my Gucci shirt is ruined!" Stella whined. If there's anything she loves more than herself, it's her clothes.
"Stella, it could easily be washed" Tecna tried to rationalize.
"And risk fading it? I think not" she stormed away, dragging Brandon with her. He mouthed 'help me', making us all laugh.
A small black figure flashes in the corner of my eye. I whip my head to see what it was, but saw nothing. I turned my head back to the remainder of the group, and they were looking at Timmy and Tecna typing.
CRYSTAL
Me and the girls were gonna take Bloom shopping and welcome her into the group almost a week ago but she hasn't been at school. No one has seen or heard from her at all. Kinda weird. Flora, being a people person, was naturally worried when she didn't show up the next day and that worry grew which makes us worry which makes her worried which makes us worried.
We kinda just figured that she's sick or out of town because we really don't know her or her life.
"CRYSTAL!!" Stella shrieked our making me jump and nearly fall.
"W-What?!" I look at her incredulously.
"Hun, are you ok?" Flora asked, pressing her hand to my forehead.
"I'm fine"
"Well, you kinda just s-"
"Is that Bloom?" Stella asked cutting off Musa but we all turned our head to look. Indeed it was Bloom, walking with her arm wrapped up. She got in a blue Chevy and left.
We looked at each other and exchanged glances not sure how to feel.
"At least we know she's not dead" Stella commented. We looked at her.
"STELLA!!"
