The gang went to an Arcade today. But no matter how I tried, I couldn't get into any of the games. Within a few hours, I have lost almost half a million. That girl from Mia’s class said she left school early because she wasn't feeling well. Though I know it was probably because of what Olivia did, I still can't rest easy. I keep having the urge to check on her. I don't have her phone number and can only go home early.
It's almost eight in the evening and Dad is back. I meet him and his w***e eating dinner.
“Jeremy, you are back early today. Come and join us.” Celine, Mia’s Mum, gives me a full toothed smile that screams fake. I clench my hands together, suppressing the urge to swat it across her dolly face.
I ignore her and head to the stairs. Once I check on Mia, I will just play so
