she said softly. Her voice felt like an anchor. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. “Ava?” she asked gently. I swallowed. “I did it,” I said. Silence. Not the awkward kind. The listening kind. “And?” she asked quietly. I looked at the stick in my hand again. “Two lines,” I whispered. Her breath caught on the other end. For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then she said, “Are you okay?” The question was simple.

I put on an innocent face as I walked up and asked, "Madeline, what's going on? Did you need to see me for something?" Amelia was trembling, tears streaming down her face. The moment she spotted me, she started crying harder, and her eyes were filled with nothing but hatred. "Emma, maybe you don't like me, but I never did anything to hurt you," she choked out. "Why did you have to target me? You scared me so badly that I fell and hurt my leg. Is this what you wanted?" Adam slammed his hand on the desk. Before I could react, he slapped me hard across the face.

"You dare mock me? I'll have Imogen fire every single one of you!" The manager sighed, ready to explain, but I raised a hand to stop him, facing Thomas's anger head-on. "They say Imogen Slater is beautiful and wealthy, with a lot of admirers. How do we know you're not just another impostor? Prove it with maybe a phone call?" Thomas fumbled for his phone, all thunder and bravado. "Laugh while you can! I'll make you regret this!" A growing crowd pressed against the glass doors outside, eager for the spectacle. He dialed repeatedly, but each attempt met the same automated voice: "The subscriber you have reached is powered off."

“We are splitting up, Ozzy and Chris you stay behind and protect our flag, Nathanial and Gabriella you are our second line of defense, Sav and Kiara are going to play offense and see if we can get to the flag. I will be a distraction and swim directly for the flag above water. Sav and Kiara you need to hold your breaths and swim for the buoy form underneath and retrieve it.

As if the air was melting creating an invisible chasm to… As the tear grows larger, giving way to colors of reds, oranges, and greys, figures appear on the other side. “Mike get up please!” Lyric’s voice cuts through my distraction. Her pleads of terror jostle me and I scramble to my feet. I grab Lyrics' hand ready to get her out of here and chance a look back at Senko.

Alley looked at me in shock. “Now that I have your attention, I want everyone to form two lines if you have a problem with it you can get the fuck out.” They pause a few seconds more and then almost as if someone pressed play on a remote, the music started playing again, and they all start forming two lines right in front of the bar.

“Don’t you dare roll your eyes at me.” “I didn’t!” “Don’t ‘I didn’t’ me either. Just behave yourself.” “I will,” I mutter closing up my bag. We ride in silence most of the way. Horrible lobby music hums through the car stereo while raindrops from the morning drizzle cling to the windows. I lean my head against the glass, watching the trees blur into greens and browns.
