CHAPTER 3

So far everyone was enjoying the movie, Once in a while, Maya or Mikaela would let out a shriek at a jump scare. Maya had Liam to hold her hands, and Mikaela would clutch on to Amaya who was good at watching horror movies despite her protests.

"Mikaela please let go of me you agreed to watch this movie, and now thirty minutes later you're clutching me. I can barely breathe." Amaya said gasping for breath. "Oh shut it, Amaya, you know I don't watch scary movies, I just went along with it because everyone wanted to watch a scary movie," Mikaela said pouting. "Ok but if you kill me by clutching on me too hard, my ghost will forever hunt you to eternity," Amaya said, stretching the last part a bit. "OK," Mikaela said obviously scared.

Mikaela had a terrible past with horror movies or scary things, And Amaya knew that using it to her advantage. "When did you start watching horror movies, I thought you hated it," Noelle asked. "Seriously Noelle you gotta pay more attention to your surroundings, it's not that long ago she started liking horror movies," Maya said amazed at Noelle's obliviousness.

"My friend recommended a horror movie to me, I watched it and surprisingly I like it. I guess the saying that goes 'To grow as a person, you must open yourself to new experiences is true." Amaya said in a monotonous tone. "And who brought that saying to life," Mikaela said. "I don't know it just came to the top of my head," Amaya said.

"Okay then I might add that to my presentation," Mikaela added. "Can't you all be quiet!! remember we're watching a movie here." Liam finally snapped. He had been quiet the whole time listening to them rambling on and on, but he had had enough. "Geez, Liam we were just talking," Mikaela said slightly annoyed.

"Noelle won't you talk, all you've done is keep quiet," Amaya said. "No I bet she won't all she thinks about is gaming," Mikaela said. "Well her dream is to become a gamer, so it isn't out of the ordinary," Amaya said. "Ok let's focus on the movie, not me." They continued the movie with no further distractions and in no time at all, they were done.

They decided to watch a few more movies after that that wasn't horror. After 2-3hours they were done watching movies and decided to play with Noelle. They went upstairs to Noelle's room which they cleaned. "Woah, you guys did a very great job with my room. Thanks, I appreciate it." Noelle said with a smile on her face.

"No problem Noelle we're your friends you can always count on us. To clean your room." Mikaela said. "Ok, I will make sure my room is extra messy next time," Noelle said chuckling. "Speak for yourself Mikaela I'm not doing this again, It drained the life out of me to clean Noelle's pigsty of a room," Amaya said annoyed. "Me too," Maya said backing up Amaya. "Me three. But seriously Noelle cleans up your room." Liam said patting Noelle o the head.

"Ok, ok no need to rub it in," Noelle said pouting. "Anyway let's get playing so I can crush you. As always." Noelle said with a smirk on her face. "I will have you know I've been practicing since the last time you beat me," Liam said proudly. "Ok, we'll see about that," Noelle said.

They all played, and as Liam said he had really improved but he was no match for Noelle, obviously. Amaya and Maya competed, surprisingly Amaya won. Liam and Mikaela played, Mikaela lost and that meant Liam was to face off against Noelle, he was good but not good enough to beat Noelle. Eventually, they all got tired, but because they didn't want to leave they stayed a little longer.

"Hey has anyone seen Jason lately," Maya asked out of the blue. "Why ask he lives his own life," Amaya said. "I asked because someone would think he'll be here if Noelle is sick, seeing as he is her childhood friend." Maya retorted. "Yeah speaking of which I haven't seen him lately," Mikaela said sarcastically. "Yeah even I haven't seen him and we're both in the same class. It's like he vanished from the face of the earth." Liam said.

"Noelle have you seen or heard from him lately," Amaya asked. "Yeah, he texted me while I was asleep asking about my health, as It was odd to see me offline. So when I woke up and started texting you all I called him telling him about my current condition. He told me that he was not on campus because he was out with a friend." Noelle said.

~FLASHBACK~

I was in 4th grade at the time. School had just ended and I was on my home, I had no friends or anything of that sort so right after school I'd go straight home and play games. I was known as the quiet/shy girl. It never really bothered me because having fake friends is such a drag. I was halfway to my house because the school wasn't very far from my house so I walked every day. When a group of people from my class showed up out of nowhere.

"Hey, Noelle wanna be friends." The leader of the group said. "No thank you I have to go now," I said in hopes that I'd be able to leave. But she pulled me back by my hair.

Olivia was the most beautiful girl in my class and almost all my classmates fawned over her. Her father was the CEO of a very successful business, so she always thought high and mighty of herself. But in intelligence, she wasn't so good. All her friends are either attracted to her or her money and in all honesty, she didn't care as long as they helped her pass her exams, they were considered her friends.

I wasn't a fan of hers and nor did I do her any wrong, so I wonder why she chose me to pick on today. Her friends started beating me up at her command and I was too weak to defend myself. Blood started running down my nose and they didn't bother to stop beating me until he came.

"Olivia why are you beating her, from what I can tell she hasn't done you wrong unless I'm wrong." The boy said. "And what do you care is she your sister or something," Olivia said sarcastically. "No she's not anything of that sort, but I have enough common sense to make me stand up for her when she hasn't offended you and you're beating her up."

"Jason you better mind you're own business or els-." Olivia was cut off by the boy. "Or else what you'll tell your dad. Keep in mind that your father and mine are friends and he doesn't like you abusing his name and status for your own gain, so if I report to him about your behavior, he'll be sure to punish you. So if I were you I'd think twice before I continued." The mysterious boy said.

"You may have won this time Jason, but I'll get back at you someday," Olivia said walking away with her friends behind her back.

I was still on the floor when the boy offered me his hand. "We'll have to get that treated soon." He said referring to my bruises. I took his hand. "Th-Thank you no one has stood up for me like that before," I said stuttering a bit.

"My name is Jason. Jason White, nice to meet you umm please may I know your name." He asked. "No-Noelle Silver," I told him.
