Chapter 35 - Two Worlds

                                    

                                          
Selina's POV:
                          
After a few minutes, when the corridor was clear, I walked back down to the playground.
                          
"What did I miss?" I smiled, jumping and shuffling into the group.
                          
"Well Monika's scaring Angel about a gift that she's bought her for her birthday." Aria said.
                          
"If it's anything like what happened at Madison's birthday two years ago, I am not down to know." I laughed.
                          
"Hey that was one bra!" Monika said defensively, patting Angel's shoulder.
                          
"Yeah. Which ended up being worn by the teddy bear." Angel stated, pulling Monika's hand off her shoulder.
                          
"Actually I gave it to my sister." Madison said, nodding her head. "Not sure she still has it but-"
                          
"What we talking 'bout guys!?" Ramon said, jumping up behind us.
                          
"What the hell!" We all said in unison, before looking at each other in a moment of silence, wondering how long he had been standing there for.
                          
"Uh..Ramon?" Aria asked. "How much of this conversation did you hear?"
                          
"From the part that something got worn by a teddy bear." Ramon said, nodding. "What did the teddy bear wear anyway?"
                          
We all burst out laughing as he looked at us slightly freaked out.
                          
"Okay, suddenly I don't want to know anymore." He stated, inching away. "Anyway, I came to talk to Rosalie, have you seen her?"
                          
"She was just up in Art with Seli...come to think of it, Selina - where is Rosalie?" Monika asked.
                          
Before I could answer, Ramon spoke,
                          
"I was just up in Art, like a minute ago, she ain't there."
                          
And then everyone turned to look at me.
                          
Shit.
                          
Bullshit Selina, come on girl!
                          
"Oh!" I started to laugh slightly. "I was gonna tell you guys as soon as I got here but after that uh, riveting conversation you guys were having, I almost forgot to mention. Ms. Diana dragged her aside from me when we were coming back downstairs to do her French speaking exam."
                          
"Ohhh." They all replied in unison.
                          
"That sucks." Angel said. "When's she gonna be back?"
                          
"I don't know, I don't think we'll see her for the rest of today though." I replied.
                          
"Ugh great, who am I meant to poke in Art?" Monika asked, as Angel ran and stepped behind Aria.
                          
"DON'T. EVEN. THINK. ABOUT. IT." Angel said sternly, as Monika creepily waved and smiled at her.
                          
"You aren't even in the same class." Madison said.
                          
"Still," Angel murmured. "She's a freak."
                          
Ramon coughed to reestablish his presence,
                          
"So uh, I'm just gonna, catch you lot later then."
                          
********
                          
So the day went on, Art was same old same old, Chemistry was eh and don't even start me on French.
                          
We all walked home together, Ishmael picked up Aria halfway in his car though to take her to the hospital to see Mitchell, or for an impromptu make-out session knowing the amount of guys the whore has, whereas I turned the corner and began my trek to Keegan's house.
                          
He'd left school mid fifth period after 'throwing up', and I don't think that Aria, Monika, or anyone noticed him gone to be fair.
                          
I entered his house the usual way, but was stopped before I walked up the stairs of the basement,
