Chapter 4
It is Thursday, February 19. Only 2 more days until my 17th birthday. One more year closer to death.
"Good morning baby!" Jodie yelled when I came downstairs for breakfast.
"Hey," I said. I was still tired form 5 hours of restless sleep.
"Do you have plans today, tomorrow, or Saturday?
"Raven wants me to go to her house after school today."
"Do you need a ride?"
"No, it's not far from school, we can walk."
"Okay, be back before nine."
"Fine."
"Do you want to go shopping for a birthday present tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"Also, I want to take you to a club Saturday night. It's called the Coffin Club."
"Yo know I'm not old enough to go to a club."
"I'm sure you have a fake ID."
I almost smiled at that because it was true. In New York I used a fake ID all the time to sneak out and go to clubs. "Where is the Coffin Club?"
"In the next town over, it's not that far away."
"Cool, sounds kinda fun." I was a little excited, but I wouldn't let it show. I have not shown emotion in years, and I don't plan to now just because Jodie all of a sudden wants to bond with me.
