Emily's Nightmare_36
Emily's POV
I groaned as I fell back on my bed, Rebecca sat crossed legged at the edge watching me. "I can't believe they did it!" I told her. She nodded.
"It's like they don't believe you," she agreed. I stayed quite momentarily, they had reason to, but the reason they didn't know.
"I know right?!" I said going back to keeping up the beat. "I mean if they have a problem shouldn't they be at least talking to me?" I asked. She nodded.
"Exactly! Why go hang out with your boyfriend and try to get it out of him?" I smiled, I liked it when she said boyfriend.
"He doesn't even know anything! All their going to be able to get out of him is the same confusion he has."
"So basically he's going to act normal," Rebecca laughed. I threw a pillow at her, laughing. She threw one back and soon there was a pillow fight that lead us to collapse on my bed, exhausted and laughing. Sometimes I wondered why I considered Liana my bestest friend out of everyone, when I spent more time talking and connecting with Rebecca. Sometimes I wondered if I just left like I owed it to Liana for being my first friend when we moved here.
We stayed like that for a while, talking and laughing, just basic hang out girl stuff. About an hour into it they heard the front door open and some loud voices. "I'm going to guess they got nothing," Rebecca grinned. I laughed, nodding.
"Probably. How long till you think they come up here and fess up?" I asked. Rebecca shrugged.
"Should I stay for this?" she asked, leaning up against her elbows. I mimicked her, thinking.
"Yes. Stay. They'll yell at me less if you're here as a witness," I said. She laughed.
I listened to the steps off my over-protective siblings come up the stairs, and stop, hearing the noise we were making. The steps continued again, this time in minority. "So, what happened to your computer?" Rebecca asked me, looking around. The footsteps stopped, listening. I knew this was test, an unintentional one.
"Circuit overload," I told her. "I tried to hook too many things up at once; you know my iPod, my memory disks, my camera etc and it just fried. My little warrior couldn't take it all at once and went into mental overload." I told her. She frowned.
"But that was your all time favorite computer! I mean, you even fought for your right to use it when the school went CUP."
"CPU," I corrected her. "But I know. Fortunately, I have everything backed up, or else I'd be in tears." Rebecca nodded. I listened, hearing for the footsteps to start up again. They did, but they were going down the hall again. I wasn't sure if I'd just won or lost this battle.
Christopher POV
I sit in the shadows. I watch the mistake move. I know I must hurry, but I can not fail. My Master said they do not offer second chances. I can not fail. When it is over, and my Master is happy, I will keep shiny thing. Shiny thing is much more than it is worth.
