On the surface you're a cripple. The lowest standard of society in the hierarchy. But there's something about you that no one knows. Or else..you'd probably be ruling over your school (Wellson Private High School). The thing is you actually have pow...
'Who was that guy, and why was he following us?' You were still left with questions that might never be answered...yet.

[y/n's pov]
'Whoa, how did things get so out of hand? One minute we were having fun shopping and the next, we were being chased by some invisible dude.' I was exhausted from all the running, along with my three other best friends as we stood in front of John's house.
"So, what the hell was that?"
"No idea...I think someone was trying to mug us."
I stare at my friends, worried of what could have happened to them if we weren't so lucky.

Introducing: Why Me?
Chapter 12. Slip-Ups & Spills
"Well, I've had enough excitement for one day." John says as he stretches, trying to lighten up the mood. I looked to Arlo and Seraphina and I could easily tell there was something bothering them. "John, y/n, how did you know we were being followed?" Seraphina asked. Arlo looked at me and John curiously, "Yea, how did you know that someone was following us?"
{One of the signs that your friend might be toxic is if they lie.
We always tell lies to either benefit ourselves or others, yet we all know karma's a bitch, so why lie? So that you could protect our loved ones who will probably know that you're lying sooner or later, thus breaking the delicate bond you two share? Even plain white lies that don't hurt anyone, are still lies. Trust is very fragile and when you break it, it could take years to repair that trust. Know that your friends love you for being yourself, and if they don't, then they're not your true friends. People think of lying as a short-cut to your destination, when really it's one of your long-term obstacles standing between you and your ultimate goal. There's a reason why people say, "Honesty is the best policy." and even I admit I still have a lot to learn about it.}
"Oh! Um, I don't really know... Just a gut feeling I guess?"
John said nervously as he shrugged, making me question him too.
'Why is he being so nervous about telling the truth? Unless... he's hiding something?'
Now Arlo and Seraphina looked at me expectedly so I stuttered out, "Y-yea, same as him. Hey! Are you guys hungry? I'll make some ramen."
'Ugh, I hate lying but what choice do I have?'
For a few seconds there was silence. The kind where they're suspicious of you, but they don't say anything. Yeah. That kind.
Then finally, "Nah, it's getting late. I'm going to head back to the dorms." Seraphina checked her watch.
"Yea, I think I'll head back too." Arlo said.
"What? Are you crazy?! You guys really wanna go back after that? What if there are more of them?" I could see the amount of concern John had in his eyes, and I doubt I was the only one. It made me really think about our friendship, and it broke me seeing him like this. So I spoke,
"Guys, please. We'd feel a lot better if you stayed. I'd feel a lot better." I pleaded with them.
Arlo looked directly into my eyes, as if he's trying to figure out if I was telling the truth this time. I didn't look away. Instead I also stared deeply into his mesmerizing crystal-like eyes, proving to him that I'm not lying.
"Alright, you've convinced me."
I smiled.
Now it was Seraphina's turn as John and I looked at her with irresistible puppy eyes.
"Agh, guys. You know I can't resist right?"
John and I pulled Seraphina and Arlo into a group hug.
"I love you guys."
And just like that, everything was okay again, but how long will it take before things start blowing up in our faces? And how are we supposed to prepare for it? It was like a ticking bomb, and oh boy was I not ready for it.
{A/N: I'm sorry if this chapter was too short, I was super focused giving my thoughts on lying and toxic friends. This chapter is not intended toward anyone, it was just something that was bugging me for a while. Hope you enjoyed reading and I'll see y'all next time! <3}
