"I haven't seen her since she stormed out of science . Where else could she be?" I ranted to Matt who was sitting across on the porch waiting for quinn to return.

"Of all places she could be... you assume she's been kidnapped by the Mafia?" Matt answered slowly opening a bag of chips.

Grabbing the bag from his hand, I held it out of his reach. "Yes! It's highly possible. Now stop eating you're making it hard to focus."

He shook his head at me in amusement, "I think you read too many books"

"I think you don't read enough books"

"Why would I need to when I have you to tell me about every single one of them?" He smiled making my face turn a light shade of pink.

I smacked him on the shoulder when he began to eat again.
"That's not the point! Where could she be?"

"well she did text and say she would make her own way home but she never said why.."

Matt and I sat there for a while, waiting for Quinn to get back.

"I don't think I can ever tell if Chris fully hates her or not" I laughed,

"One second he's hitting a hockey puck toward her face, and the next he's rushing to save her than carrying her off the ice"

"I don't think Chris even knows if he hates her or not" Matt answered

"True"

as if on cue Chris stepped out of his car and slammed the door heading towards the house looking down at his feet

"Where is she at?" I questioned once he walked up on to the porch.
I could already sense that Matt was giving him a look that told him to not ignore the question i had asked,
grumpy that he didn't get to just go up to his room.he sighed
"Who?" Chris only answered eyeing the two of us without any interest.trying to play dumb,

I gave him an annoyed look. "Don't play dumb Chris. Where is Quinn?" His eyes flashed with an emotion that I couldn't place before quickly being replaced with his previous disdain.

"Learn to control your pet bro. She's getting too yippy." He sneered to Matt. Before Matt could day anything i cut him off.

"Yeah well this 'pet' bites if you don't remember." I gestured to the bruise on his face,

"Now stop avoiding the subject. What happened to Quinn?"

The more he avoided the subject, the more I feared for my best friend's well being.

I truly believed that Chris never hated her nearly as much as he said, but lately he's been doing a hell of a job at proving me wrong.

"She's in detention with Ms,alderine after she hit me and covered for you and your little punching problem" he gestured to his face

i felt a pang of guilt in my chest

no no no no why would she do that..

chris just left and walked quicklyup to his room

i was left with matt
i looked down at my thumbs and started picking at my cuticles

matt places a hand on my cheek and looks me in the eyes and says

"hey hey hey blair it's ok,it's not your fault for defending her after what chris did,besides it was quinn's choice to stick up for you, i'm sure you would've done the same thing if you were in her position"he says wiping a tear away from my eyes with his thumb
