CHAPTER 3

Lilly's POV

"WAKE UP!" Kellie, my foster mom, yelled. I didn't want to wake up but, when someone is screaming in your ear. UGH!

" Why?!" I replied. Rolling over to face her.

" School!" she hollered at me. At that I jumped up and pushed her out of my room so that I could get dressed.

At school I ran up to Rose, my best friend. I was about to scare her when she turned and said,

" I'm moving." That startled me into taking a step back. She had her raven hair in a ponytail and her shades were on. Her shades were only ever on if she had been crying.

"Oh, Rose. What are we gonna do?" I cried, throwing my arms around her neck and started crying.

" Lilly," she said, pulling my arms from around her neck, "You are not going to do anything. Me, on the other hand, am going to be running away."

I stared at her. Rose was ,like, obsessed with the idea that her family needed to be protected by her 24/7.

"What?" I said, dumbfounded.

"I said that I am going to run away."

"WHY!?" I hollered earning a few stares from my schoolmates.

She just stared at the ground and walked to class as the bell rang. I hurried off to homeroom too but, not before noticing that her nails looked like a cats as they curled into her fist.
