My head was aching. I think I've been sleeping for hours.What happened?? Am I still in the Ladie's comfort room?And then,I remembered the spiders! Did they killed me? I dunno.. I slowly opened my eyes..And realized that I'm in my room and lying in my bed,covered up with blankets and sheets.Its so cold.I saw Lizzie,Addie and Mom.They came to me.They all looked surprised to see me.
"Hey,wait. What happened?"I asked them all.Mom sat on my bed and touched my hair."You were locked inside the comfort rooms at school,couldn't you remember?"
I wrinkled my forehead."Huh? I was locked up? All by myself? Are you okay?"
Addie smiled at me."Yes.And you fainted because of fear.Good thing,there are people who saved you.."
"I wasn't locked up.. There's somebody who---"
"Forget it Hayley,the important thing is.. You're already safe."Lizzie said before I was about to finish what I'm saying.
I scratched my head."Listen,you don't know everything.. What happened to me was terrible! and i'm not going to let this slide by.."
Mom held my hand."Of course you should..Be thankful of those three handsome guys who saved you.Without them,you won't be able to go home tonight."I was freaked out when she said that. Three HANDSOME guys? Does she mean..Lawrence,Gabby.and Christopher? And they saved me? What the heck is this?
"Noo! those guys! they didn't save me! they are the one who--"
"Shh."Lizzie hushed me."I know you hate Josh Farro's friends but this time,forget about it. Tomorrow,let's thank them for what they have done."Addie agreed with her by giving me a thumbs-up.
So,now,what is this?? As far as I can remember,Those three guys locked me up inside the comfort room with the spiders.I'm sure they did.But what do they mean here? Mom told me three guys saved me.Lizzie said that we should thank Josh Farro's friends for what they did.So that means,they were the one who opened the door before I fainted.Oh my.. They're the one who locked me up,and the one who saved me from being stuck at the same time.What's their reason for doing that?I mean,why did they opened the door? I thought they are going to leave me there until morning or until i was dead.Maybe,they lied.They lied that It was an accident and they saved me.Such terrible people.But tomorrow? Is there something more? I'm afraid to go to school again because of the possibility that they might do something more extreme.And if that happens-uh oh..
"I thought they are really bad guys.I was wrong.They're superheroes!"Addie spoke up.I gave her a fake smile and swallowed hard.She doesn't know about everything.If i tell her the truth,will they believe in me?I think its better to be silent..Just this time.I'll tell them later.
Mom stood up and told us that she's leaving for work.This day is the time when she spends the whole night at the hospital as a nurse.When she walked out of the door,my friends followed.They all bade me goodbye and I went to sleep.But before that,I thought about Josh.I think I need to say sorry before its too late.I don't want to be in trouble anymore.Tomorrow,I will.
***********
"Hey,would you like to come with us?"Lizzie asked me the next day,during our break time."Don't tell me you are going to stay here again."I smiled at her and stood up."Where are we going?"
"At the canteen..I'm hungry.."
Addie went to us.She took my hand and dragged me until we reached the canteen.Her grip was like Gabby's.It hurts."Hey,Addie.Let go."I said.She did.And then..Apologized.
Lizzie stepped on my foot."Look.. who's there." She was wide-eyed and seemed like she was too much surprised.I cried in pain because her shoes has heels.My friends were torturing me,i think.She pointed at a direction and my eyes followed her finger.Oh crap.Its them.. Josh. And his friends at a table near the window.The four of them were having their snack quietly.So weird to see them not talking to each other.
"Now,thank the guys who saved you."Addie whispered in my ear.
"Thank them?"I asked."And.. saved me?"
Addie slapped her forehead."Are you nuts?Go ahead and say thank you! You owe your life to them."
"No way."
"Huh?You--"
"I said no.I won't."
Lizzie placed her hands on my shoulders."I understand you..I know you are mad at Josh.But its not him that you should talk to.Its his friends."
"I don't care.And I'm not going to say thank you."
"Evil hayley.."
I looked at the boys.I was freaked out to see Josh Staring at me.After that,he choked on his food.He smiled and said something to his friends.Their heads turned to me.I want to run away but what about the thing that I thought last night? Do I really need to say sorry? Okay,I should.For my own good."Chill for a second."I told my Addie and Liz.I went to them and slammed my hans on the table.I don't know why I did that but It caught their attention.
"About what happened yesterday.. Why did you lied? "I was staring at Gabby.He didn't replied and continued eating his food.Josh Farro spoke then."I've decided to give you your punishment thrice a week."
"I'm sorry Josh.I didn't mean it..I accidentally said those things in front of many students.Wouldyou like me to apologize to your girlfiend too?"
He laughed hard."Hey guys.."He told his friends."You heared that?The read headed monster was asking for forgiveness."The three boys laughed too,and shook their heads."HAyley.."Josh continued."I won't accept that anymore.What's done is done.And you will pay for it."
"What?!" I exclaimed."That was just a little thing! Its not even a big deal!"
"Who says its not?"he asked in an angry tone."The next clue is all about Glue.So prepare."
"GLUE?"
"Are you deaf?"
"No.."
"Then go.."
"But--"
"Go.You are about to ruin my snack."
I turned my back and waked away.I was so mad.He's so evil.Josh is so mean.I'm already sorry for what I've done.Couldn't he accept it? He's got so much pride.Anyway,he warned me again.Now what? Its all about glue.. That sounds pretty yucky.Will he throw me in a pool of glue? I don't know. I stormed out of the canteen and went back to my classroom,leaving Addie and Lizzie behind.I heared them call my name a lot of times but I didn't listen.
