Obsessed

Chapter 35

On Thursday morning, Josh and I are walking through the school together. And of course, we're looking for Sierra. Who has disappeared trying to sabotage Chase's formal partner with Harmony. Josh has already told me the wonderful story of how he asked Sierra to formal. He got her to a park where a 'stranger' came over and gave her a puppy with 'Prom?' written on its collar. 

To conclude, Josh got his 'yes' and Sierra got a puppy called Lulu. You got to give him credit, how can you resist a cute guy with a cute puppy?

"Where do you think she is?"

"Well, I know Bethany is in Art now. So maybe the art rooms?"

"What did Sierra say she was doing again?"

"Apparently Bethany has swimming later in the day, so she's swapping her shampoo with hair dye."

"I doubt Bethany is going to appreciate green hair."

"I don't think anyone does."

"She's always doing things like this."

"But you love her."

"I do."

"How long did it take for you to tell her?"

"Not long really. We started dating and about a week later, we were saying it whenever we parted."

"But how do you know...?"

"Well, if it feels right, I guess it just comes out naturally."

"But what if..."

"You should tell him."

"Josh..."

"You should, he obviously loves you back. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"So much." I mutter.

"There she is." He points over to Sierra who just snuck out of the girls showers.

"Hey babe." She says and kisses him on the cheek in greeting. "Harmony is just finishing up, but then we're going back to class."

"Luckily I covered for you. Mr. Brior is losing his head." Josh exclaims.

"Same for Harmony. Mr. Flee is going to kill me if she isn't back in five minutes." I say.

"Fortunately we had each other for company while we traipsed the school in search for you." Josh laughs.

"Well you found me. Let's go." Sierra says and leads him by the arm. I wait outside the bathroom for Harmony to come out.

"Harmony!" I whisper shout, stepping closer to the entry. "Harmony! Hurry up!"

"Help!" She yelps. The urgency in her voice urges me forward into the room. The showers have that murky and sticky smell. It's gross in here. "Help!" She cries.

I spot her attached to a locker. "What the hell?"

"I'm stuck!" She croaks. Her necklace is caught in the lock. "Hurry I'm chocking!" She demands. I rush forward and untangle her from the lock.

Finally, I've untied her and she steps back in relief. "Jeez you're slow." She sighs. She rubs her throat. "I swear I was about to die." She huskily says.

"Let's just get back to class before someone else almost dies."

"Not so fast." Another voice says. We both turn to her in lightning speed. "I saw what you did."

"I just untangled her necklace from the lockers?" I say, trying to sound innocent.

"Don't play koi. I saw Harmony trade the shampoo. You and Sierra are going to be in a lot of trouble trying to hurt poor Bethany. I mean, me? I understand. Sierra's always been jealous of me... but Beth?"
