Closer.

Chapter 1

Carly's Pov.
First day of school, since the end of the last term. I put on my uniform, before combing my hair and heading downstairs.

"Carly. So, what are you doing at school today?" My step mother, Kira asked. She's desperate for conversation.
"Work." I reply in a 'duh' tone. After I finished breakfast, okay I never finish breakfast, my best friend Bianca picked me up.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Bianca was like the school's role model. Everyone loved her, simply because her parents were TV stars.
"So B? What did you do during the holidays?" A girl named Kayla asked. She's always been jealous of my friendship with Bianca. Boy, I hate nobody else but her.
"She was with me." I reply in a rude tone, hoping to chase her away.
"I'm sorry C, but was I talking to you?" She asks as I take my phone out without her seeing, putting it by my ear.
"Excuse me. Kayla, I was on the phone and for the record its Carly." I reply as she walks away.
"C? What happened to you? You're never that rude!" Bianca says as I shrug. Then Dylan comes. Dylan James, Bianca's boyfriend.

"Hey girls!" He says as I look down. I'm not a fan of him. I mean, he's just too....him.
"Hey. What are you doing here?" Bianca asks he takes a seat.
"Here to see you. There's a concert tomorrow, wanna come?"
"Sure!" She replies. I guess she forgot that it was our Annual Movie night tomorrow, but still I kept quiet.

"Hey honey! How was school?" My mother asked. I decided to go to her.
"Okay."
"You don't seem well and where's B?"
"Probably busy with Dylan."
"You don't seem happy...."
"Of course I am,its just...Bianca forgot about to tomorrow."
"But she never does." My mother replies grabbing two drinks from the freezer.
"I know. Its like, Dylan's controlling her. I don't know why, but I don't trust him."
"Well hun, if you don't trust someone, you're right about them."
"I guess." I say opening my drink.
"Honey, you have to do something if its bothering you."
"I know mom, I know." I say sighing.

For the rest if the afternoon, I was sitting in my room watching movies, until my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey! You didn't come home. Where are you?"

"Hi. Look Kira,if my dad asked you to check on me, I'm fine."

"No C. Its Bianca, calm down. Where are you?"

"At my mom's house. Why?"

"You only go there if something's bothering you."

"Yeah, so?"

"Look, I'm coming over." She said and hung up.

Within about the next ten minutes she arrived.

"Right. What's up?"
"Look Bianca. Its nothing."
"Carly...."
"Hold on there. The last time you called me Carly was like in third grade. You're hiding something."
"So are you!"
"No, I'm not! Bianca, I wouldn't hide anything from you. No secrets, remember."
"I guess you're right. Okay. Kayla asked me if she can join us, to create some sort of group."
"That girl hates me!" I exclaim, dodging eye contact.
"I know." She replies sadly, looking down. "That's why  I said no."
"Hold on B. You really want her in. Add her. Tell her she can join." I say as she hugs me.
"Thank you!" She mumbles into my shoulder.
