Hello guys! This is the second chapter to my one and only Slender fanfic. Anyways, I apologize for the short chapter and I hope that it was at least an acceptable one.
Chapter 2: Feeling Lost
The following school morning, the girls waited at the bus stop in silence. They felt the tension coming from Melody. She was different. She felt dark. "W-What's happened to me?!" Melody shook her head. "It's just a bit different since the 'joke'. I'm just nervous or something" She wiped away the feeling. She felt watched. "Not possible." The bus pulled up on the curb.
"Oi, Melody." Zoey called. "You 'kay?" She was relieved that she finally had something to say after the lengthy silence. She nodded. "I want to talk to you about something though, Zoey." She stopped climbing the steps letting others go ahead. The four watched from the bus' window. "Oi, do you think she's mad or something?" Gaby whispered. "Don't think so," Sloan replied still watching. "Ya sure? She looks really, really pissed." Delancie replied for once not having the cute accent.
Tylie gulped, "Do you think she'll get revenge on us?" They didn't answer. "Zoey, I'd like to ask you a favor." Melody replied with no emotion. It sent shivers up her spine. "S-sure anything, Melody. W-we're friends after all, r-right?" Zoey hesitated. She wished that she didn't mention the second part.
Melody just stared, "You can say that…" The four panicked from inside the bus. "Is she gonna kill her?!" Tylie grabbed her head. "Zoey, would you mind doing me a favor?" She nodded, "Anything for a f-friend!" Zoey again regretted mentioning the friend part. "Would you come over my home again sometime this week… to investigate with me?" Melody whispered. Zoey was relieved. "Yes! I owe you one anyways! So how else am I to help? A friend with stick with you 'til the end after all, right?!" Zoey's hand shot up in the air while she laughed her godly laugh.
Melody smiled, "That's good to hear, Zoey." They laughed. "She's different. Maybe it's just the experience- it'll wear off eventually". "Hurry up, you damn brats!" The bus driver yelled as the two ran up the steps. Zoey sighed as Delancie leaned closer to her to whisper, "She's a bit creepy now…" Zoey didn't know how to reply to that. She gulped before replying, "I-I don't know how to reply to that…"
Zoey had to admit, hanging out with Melody was pretty awkward. All she wanted to talk about drills, plans, and ideas about how to capture Slender man. Zoey pushed away the stacks of papers Melody wrote on, all of them being about Slender man.
"Aye, Melody. What is this all of a sudden?" Melody looked up then back down. "What do you mean?" Melody pulled the stack back. "You know perfectly well what I mean. Don't play innocent." Zoey pushed the stack away again.
She looked up at her again. "Innocent? Am I some kind of criminal to you?" Zoey gritted her teeth. "Come on. You know what I'm talking about!"
"There is not a shred of dishonesty in my words. Now what are you referring to?" Meldoy replied pulled the stack closer to the both of them. "Jesus, Melody! God dang it, if you're really that simple minded then you could have just said so!" Zoey pulled the stack along with desk to the ground.
"Miss. Albarn, please, if you must. Take some time in the hall." Mrs. Flader replied with concerned eyes. Zoey saw the worry in her eyes and instead of screaming at her teacher, she left quietly and quickly. If only that had been Mr. Zane. He would have just screamed at her and possibly even punched her for the outburst. Conservations soon became whispers. Mrs. Flader decided to take the chance and ask what had happened.
Melody smiled, "Zoey was just upset about me not understanding the procigar after many times of explaining to me. Please don't worry, she'll be fine." Melody went on with her work. "Okay then. Please be a bit more observant of class then, Miss. Farris." Mrs. Flader was fond of calling her students by their last name but it annoyed Sloan greatly since she hated her last name. It was Patel. Sloan Patel.
When a teacher first gets to know her, they recognize the last name at first glance. They compared her with her older sister Monica saying that Monica was the perfect student or I don't understand, Monica was the best at this subject. "And while Mrs. Albarn is out, why don't you pair up with ?" Sloan slowly moved over a seat. "What really happened to Zoey?" Sloan replied.
"It was as I said. I did not understand what she was asking of me and she couldn't take it anymore." Melody replied as Sloan brought it and didn't mention it anymore.
