Charlie decided to purposely wait a little while before she came back out from underneath the bleachers. She didn’t want Trace to see that she had been hiding out under there and get any suspicions that she might have seen what he just did.
When she crawled out into the sunlight, shivering from the cold winter air, she could see that the group was huddled near a tree off in the greenfield. She could see stupid Amberly in her cheerleading outfit. She could see Trace, Kire, and Kaos sweating in their soccer uniforms despite the temperature. Thankfully, Angela wasn’t with them this time. Hopefully, they told her that this gathering wasn’t meant for her, and hopefully, it hurt her feelings when they did so. For whatever reason, Charlie wanted Angela to feel pain. Pain like she had felt.
