"You coming or what?" Zenith asked me through the phone. I was doing my house chores it was Saturday morning school has not been enjoyable at all, whenever my friends were with me the guys were there. Ronnie spoke to me here and there Augustus was okay I guess he was like Ronnie,Steven didn't even speak to me and Maddox was just rude to me when I spoke or did something he would shoot snide remarks.
"Are Maddox and them gonna be there?" I ask sweeping the kitchen floor.
"No it's just us girls...I promise Willow." Zenith said. I sigh thinking about going to the lake with the girls.
"Fine I'll come what time should a meet up?"
"Around two,I'm so excited thank you so much Willow." Zenith cheers. We say our goodbyes I hang up the house phone placing it back on its stand.
"I hope you're keeping your promise Zen." I whisper.

"I'm so happy it's a warm day." Victoria says happily spreading out the picnic blanket.
"I totally agree with you Tori." I reply back placing the speaker down on the blanket a all decided to have a picnic.
Zenith and Bonnie were walking towards us with the food and an extra blanket. I was so happy this was just like old times having picnics with no one to disturb us.
We all get comfortable talking about what not and eating food.
"Remeber that time when Zenith fought with that eight year old for the last corndog." Bonnie said referring to the memoray that happened the previous year at the town fair.
We all laugh as Zenith hits Bonnie on the shoulder. Bonnie's phone rings she picks it up smiling her smile soon drops when she sees the message she looks up at me nervously.
"Whats the matter?" I ask anxiously.
Bonnie chuckles awkwardly this grabs the attention of Victoria and Zenith.
"I...kinda told Steven what I was going to do today....and he-".
"He's here with the rest." I whisper looking at Bonnie she looks down with shame.I scoff shaking my head.
"Unbelievable." I whisper.
I hear deep voices speaking I turn around to see the guys walking towards us Ronnie was holding a case of beer.
"Hey." Zenith greets cheerfully but I didn't miss the look she gave me which read ' I'm sorry we will make this better.' They all get comfortable Maddox sits next to me. I scroll through my music deciding to blast the Issa Album by 21 Savage.
The song Bank Acconut blasts through the speaker I turn the volume up not in the mood to listen to the couple's conversations. I bob my head to the song closing my eyes I feel everyone's eyes on me but I ignore them.
"I love this song." I tell them moving my shoulders to the song.
Once the song was over everyone was laughing (only the girls)and talking excluding me out the conversation since I didn't know what they were talking about. I sigh getting up from my seat they still didn't acknowledge my existence.
Why do I always get myself hurt. I walk into the woods that's by the lake no one was allowed to go in but I always went into the woods when I wanted to clear my head.
I don't know how long I've been walking but I see the sun is setting slowly. I better get back to the others but there is a slight problem I can't find my way back .I probably walked of the trail when I found that bunnny.
I try finding my way back but it's no use I'm going in circles.
Oh holy moly I'm gonna die you're an i***t Willow! Why did you have to wonder off Willow you're so stupid!
I wasn't looking where I was going I fall in a big hole bumping my head really hard blood was falling down my forehead. I look around but it was to dark to see. A shot of pain ran through my leg I feel something warm and wet on my thigh. Blood.
There was a medium sized branch loged in my thigh I was now in tears I was hurt and lost. Is this how I'm going to die.
The only thing I could here for the whole night were my cries of pain.
