Hey everyone! Tdog here and the last chapter was just the beginning for poor Tiff. So enjoy Chapter 4!
Tiff's POV
"What are you talking about?" I heard Auggie say.
"Nothing it was a nightmare." I said. Worrying that if he knew he would tell Riley.
"Ok." Auggie started "Night Tiff!"
"Night Aug." I said. "Phew that was close." I whispered to myself, before falling asleep.
( 6:00 AM )
I left a note for the Matthews this morning so they would know that I left early, even though they would probably be worried since my ankle was broken. Getting down and up the subway stairs has never been this hard before... ow.
"Ok Chris, i'm here. I started, but didn't see Chris, "Chris?" I said, hopping that he was finally done with all of this. Suddenly I felt two guys grab me and then saw Chris walk up to me, wearing gloves.
"Guess what I have?" Chris said.
"Why would I care?" I said.
"Well you should because I have poison ivy." He said.
"NO." I said knowing what he was going to do. While his buddies held me in place he rubbed the poison ivy on my arms and legs.
"Meet me after school tomorrow." He said.
As soon as I was let go, I picked up my crutches and went to my locker grabbed a long-sleeved shirt and went to the bathroom to change so no one would see the poison ivy when it started to infect my arms. Then I made my way to class only to see that Riley, Maya, Lucas, Farkle, and Mike had beaten me there.
"Hey guys." I said.
"Where have you been?" Riley said.
"I was cleaning out my locker. You know, old papers and stuff." I lied
"Tiff, we know your lying." Maya said.
"What? You guys are my best friends, why would I ever lie to you?" I said.
"That's what we're trying to figure out." Lucas said.
"Why can't we ever just have a normal week at school?" Farkle said.
"I know right?" Mike said.
"Guys that not the point." Riley said.
"What's not the point?" Mr. Matthews said as he walked into the room.
"Nothing." I said, "Shoot." I thought in my head because now they know for sure that I was lying.
"Yeah dad we were just studying." Riley said, I gave her a surprised look because she just lied to her dad for me.
The rest of the students came in within ten minutes and the rest of the day went as usual, besides the fact that Riley had to help me from class to class because of my ankle, and also that both of my arms and legs were burning because of the poison ivy.
After I got home, I put on shorts and a t-shirt, only to see that my arms and legs were swelled up, red, itched like crazy, and were burning. I knew that you have to wash off the oil on poison ivy or else it would spread, so I went to the bathroom, took a washcloth, and washed it so it wouldn't spread on me or anybody else. I stayed in bed for most of the day so no one would see my poison ivy. It was only 7:30 ( PM ) when Riley came in.
"Tiff what's really going on?" Riley said.
Riley's POV
"Nothing." Tiff said, I knew she was lying.
"Then get out of bed." I told her, know what her excuse would be.
"Nope. My ankle is broken, I need to rest." Tiff said.
I pulled the blanket off of her only to see her arms and legs all red. My mouth dropped open.
"What the heck is that?" I said.
"Poison ivy." Tiff said, slowly.
"Where did you get that? Snow is on the ground!" I said.
"Tell the truth Matthews." I heard Maya say.
"When did you get here?" I said.
"A few minutes ago." Maya started, "Spill it Matthews, how did you get poison ivy?
"Ok fine, i'll tell you, but first, since when do you ever call me Matthews?" Tiff said.
"Not the point." Maya said.
"Chris you know, the guy who's been held back a few years, he's been bullying me every day since I got this bruise, but he told me not to tell anyone or else I would really get it." Tiff confessed.
"WHAT?" Maya and I said at the same time.
And that's Chapter 4! Chapter 5 might be the last one idk yet. But anyway hint time: Chris might not be happy with Tiff telling Riley and Maya about what he's doing. ;)
