Chapter 7: Envy

  I Skyped Kyle and Lucas once I got home. They answered the call immediately. 

  "Hey, what's up?" Lucas asked right when Kyle joined the group chat.

  "Nicole is missing. She ran away," I announced.

  "Wait, what?" Kyle and Lucas replied simultaneously. 

  "I went over to her house 30 minutes ago and her mom told me that she ran away," I explained.

  "Oh my god," Lucas responded.

   "Have you even called her yet?" Kyle asked.

  "N-no," I hesitated.

  "Then call her," Kyle said.

  "Uh.... It's in a bowl of rice right now. Because. Of. Jack. Son."

  "Oh," Lucas asked.

  "I don't get him," I cried. 

  Kyle said, "Well, we have to figure out something."

  I heard my doorbell ring. What if it was Nicole? The police? Who?

  "Who's that?" Kyle asked.

  "I don't know," I said. I opened my bedroom door and looked over the mantle. My mom was making her way to the door.

NICOLE'S POV

*HOURS AGO*

  I left Alexis and went home. I came home because I didn't want anything to deal with Alexis anymore. What in the world would give her any thought to slap me. My parent's were at work and Bailey was at school and so was Rose. So I would be safe and sound. I thought about what to do and how this all could be resolved. But nothing came to mind. Twenty minutes before my mom and Rose would come home I went to Starbucks and did my homework that I didn't do for today even though I wasn't coming back. I couldn't.

  I came home at the same time I come home everyday after school. I said "Hi" to my mom and went upstairs to my room. Bailey was staying after school for volleyball practive. I put my stuff down and opened my bedroom window. I grabbed my book and left everything else especially my phone. I stood on the ledge. I teleported to...

ALEXIS'S POV

*PRESENT*

  My mom opened the door. I leaned over the mantle and saw that it Emma.

  I heard them talk. "Hello? Who are you?" my mom asked her.

  "I'm Emma Williams. Alexis's friend," Emma said. Friend. She's like my arch enemy.

  "Do I know you?"

  "No, I'm new to the community. I just moved here from Austin."

  "Ooh, Texan girl."

  Emma giggled, "Yeah, um.. may I please talk to Alexis please?"

  "Sure, come on in."

  Crap! She can't come up. What is she doing? I ran back in my room and shut the door.

  "It's Emma," I said to Kyle and Lucas, "I gotta go."

  "Wait-" Kyle and Lucas said right before I hung up the chat. I heard Emma walking upstairs. I cleared my bed by throwing all my school stuff on the floor. I heard a knock on my door. Oh, she's is very polite unlike Jackson and my parents. 

  "Come in," I said sitting on my bed.

  "Hey," Emma said, "Um, I was just at Nicole's house. And her mom was flipping out and she said she wasn't there. I was just wondering if she was mad at me or you are. Like, why did you react the way you reacted?"

  "Um, first how do you know where I live? Stalker." I asked her.

  "I'm not a stalker. She told me her address and said your house is next to hers. So I went to house of the left of hers. Yeah, bad decision. A old man answered the door and he was not having a very delightful day, he was rude. So I came to this house and here you are."

  "Yeah, don't go that house ever again. And I reacted that way because of her safety regarding her powers."

  "I swore to her that I would say a word about her supernatural powers. And I would never do such a thing," Emma confirmed.

  "Good, I will slit your throat if you're lying," I made it very clear.

  "Ohhh okay, that's not creepy at all....Do you know where she is?" she asked.

  "No, sorry I don't." 

  "Well, do you want to go looking for her on Friday?" 

  "Yeah sure I guess. After school?"

  "Sure," I said hoping that she'd change her mind. I didn't want to have any of this to involve her. She doesn't matter. She is too- MHFMHTHrhreh4e

  "Okay, bye!" Emma said leaving my room.

*2 DAYS LATER.. FRIDAY*

  Emma, Kyle, Lucas, Bailey and I all met up at my house after school to discuss and on where we thought she was. Two whole days she was missing. In all hopes, she was not kidnapped. If she was, then no one on Earth would survive because I would hunt the kidnapper down and they will not live to see another day. Two days I haven't seen her. Two days she may not be alive. Two days she may not care anymore. Two. Days. Anything could have happened in those two days.

  "Okay where the hell is she right now?" Kyle asked.

  "How should any one of us know that? We have to use clues," I explained.

  Emma interrupted, "I feel like this is all my fault."

  "No, it's not," I confirmed putting my hand on her knee and hugged her.

  All though I hated Emma so much, it wasn't her fault. It was technically everyone except her. It was Nicole's fault because she showed Emma her powers. But, it's more my fault because I slapped her. So really, it was Nicole's fault that I slapped her. And it was my fault that Nicole ran away. Emma, on the other hand, did absolutely nothing. 

  I didn't like her once she came to this school. I don't why, I just thought she was a stereotypical popular girl. She isn't even popular. That's the thing, I don't get it. She literally kills people with her kindness. I hate it. She gets on my nerves. Honestly, I have to admit it, I'm envious of Emma Williams.

***

  Nicole will be found in the next chapter. And no, she isn't dead. and yes, i know where she is, i'm just not going to tell you. hailey please stop being hailey.
