School's been hectic these past few weeks. It's been five weeks since Bee went missing and the school has been crawling with police officers talking to every one of the student body. Her mom has been coming into school every day, trying to piece together what could have happened to make her daughter just disappear. I feel for her, I really do.

Things are going so good between Kree and I, the chemistry we have is undeniable and the way he makes me feel... ugh God, we're in school Sage-

'-what do you think about that?' Kerrys fades in.

'Sorry, what?' I shake my head, focusing back into the chat.

'Bitchhhh, you were thinking about Kree, weren't you? Kerrys wriggles her eyebrows.

'Maybeeee....' I hide my face in her shoulder.

'Ahhh, I'm so happy for you. I'm always telling Angel to make sure Kree treats you right otherwise I won't give him any.' She says shrugging her shoulders.

'Errr okay, thanks I guess. So what was it you were talking about before?' I question Kerrys.

'Ugh, I was thinking of getting my nipples pierced.' My eyes bulge out of my head.

'Erm, I don't think you can - legally.' I say.

'Yes I can, I checked. You have to be 17 to get nipple piercings. Angel said that he liked it on his last girlfriend.' She shrugs.

'Ker, is this something that you want to do?' I ask.

'I don't mind. I just wanna make my man happy,' she says like it's no big deal.

'What does Kayla think about this?' I ask, concerned.

'Um, well, she doesn't know yet. But even so, its my body.' She huffs out.

'Yeah, but she's your twin. Don't you think you should-' The phone ringing cuts off my speech. Talk of the devil. Kayla is calling.

'Hey sis,' Kerrys greets Kayla.

'WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU GETTING A NIPPLE PIERCING?" Kayla screams down the phone.

'How did you know-' Kerrys gasps.

'I'm your fucking twin dipshit, did you really think I wouldn't find out?' Kayla's anger hasn't subdued.

'How the hell did you know we were talking about you?' I ask, dumbfounded.

'Twintuition!' Both girls say at the same time.

'Ok, bye sis loveyousomuch, kiss kiss.' Kerrys rushes out to cut the call.

'We're not done talking about this-' The phone cuts Kayla's rant and Kerrys exhales a breathe.

'That went well, don't you think?' She sips on her latte on a chip.

Delusional.

'I can't believe you've left me here all alone.' Sage moans down the phone.

I hear multiple coughs and 'hey, what about me,' and smile.

'Are you missing me?' I tease.

'Maybe...' I can just imagine the shy smile forming on her face right now.

'Ugh, just fuck already.' I hear Kerrys in the back ground.

'Ssshhh... so why aren't you in school? Are you sick?' She sounds concerned.

'I couldn't be bothered going in. I'm already averaging a 4.0, so there really isn't any need for me to be there.' I reply.

'Oh shit, really?' She sounds shocked.

'Why do you sound so surprised?' I question.

'No reason. Smarty pants.' She chuckles.

'You should come over after school. I would say now but I know how much of a goody two shoes you are.' I snort.

'I'm not a goody-two shoes.' She gasps.

'Yes you are.' I hear all the girls say.

'Hey! You know what, yeah I am a goody-two shoes.' She concedes. 'Oh that's the bell, gotta go. Bye babe.' She cuts off the phone.

Wait. Did she just call me babe?

My phone beeps suddenly.

I didn't mean to say that

Babe huh?

Yeah... it just slipped out.

I didn't mind that.

In fact, it was hot.

Oh!

Well in that case...

Can't wait to see you later babe.

Ssshhh. Get back to class.

I'm laying between Sage's legs, whilst she's propped up against the head board and she's massaging my head. It's crazy how much I missed her today. Maybe I shouldn't make a habit of skipping school. I still haven't told her about the fact that I've applied for some colleges out of state. Maybe that's one of the reason why I haven't asked her to be my girl because I know that I'm leaving soon. I'm not sure how she's going to take it-

'I've never noticed this before. The one on your neck, yeah, but not this one.' Her fingers hover lightly over my rib tattoo. 'What does it mean?'

How can I answer this without revealing too much? 'I got when my parents died.'

'Oh. Is it to remember them by?' She asks.

'Sort of. It's more so a reminder that no matter what happens in life, to always live as free as a bird.'

'Hmm. I love that.' She continues after a beat. 'Did it hurt?'

'No. This sort of pain I'm used too.' Why did I say that?

'What do you mean?' She grabs my chin, making me look at her.

'Nothing, nothing.' I shake my head and lean back down on her chest. 'Would you ever get a tattoo?'

She looks down at me, unsure before replying. 'No. I don't do well with pain.' She chuckles.

'Noted.' I say.

'What are guys doing for Thanksgiving?' She questions.

'Nothing,' I shrug. 'It's never been a big deal in our house and with both of our parents gone, we don't really have anything to be thankful for.' That's the first time I've mentioned my parents, aside from the Greek food date.

'That's so sad.' She frowns. 'You should come over to mine for Thanksgiving.'

'I don't need your charity,' I scoff, moving to lean forward and sit on the edge of the bed away from her.

'It's not charity.' She snaps. 'My mom always makes too much, even though there's only the four of us.' I hesitate and she carries on. 'Plus, I really wanna introduce you to my parents. And Shay. I mean you've already met her, but still...' she rambles.

'Okay, okay. What time do you want us there on Thursday?' She blinks confused. 'You did mean Angel as well right?'

'Yeah, of course. Sorry, I just assumed he'd be with Kerrys but yes he's more than welcome. And is half four okay?'

'Perfect.' I lean back to kiss her slowly. She pulls back but I grab her and deepen the kiss, slipping my tongue into her mouth, her moans exciting me and I lightly laying her down on the bed. I go to pull her top up when this loud banging sound coming from the other side of the house, followed by a 'UGHHHHHHH!'

'Is that...' She starts.

'Yeah.' I roll my eyes. Angel and Kerrys clearly don't know how to be quiet.

'Are they always that loud?' She giggles.

'Unfortunately.' I walk towards the door and fling it open. 'ANGEL, KEEP IT DOWN!' I slam the door, turning around to Sage full blown laughing on the bed. Her laugh is so infectious, I can't help but join in. There goes the mood.

Knowing that today is the last day before Thanksgiving break makes it a lot more bearable to deal with school. Not to mention a certain someone standing under me, as I lean against her locker and we steal kisses in between Theia's fit about her latest conquests.

'Ugh, bitch, can you stop kissing him while I tell you about me and Luca,' she grabs Sage's attention.

'Sorry, carry on' she says, keeping her eyes on me, smiling.

'As I was saying-' she's cut off by the school entrance doors swinging open and a woman marching down the hall, hysterically crying and screaming.

'SOMEBODY HERE KNOWS SOMETHING. I KNOW IT! I KNOW ONE OF USE DID SOMETHING TO MY BEE!'

It's Bee's mom.

'SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL, NEVER HURT ANYBODY. THE POLICE ARE TELLING ME SHE'S JUST RAN AWAY BUT SHE'S NOT. I CAN FEEL IT. MY BABY GIRL WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!'

The girls are clearly stunned by her outburst. I glance over at Angel, sharing a look.

As Mrs. Lewandowska is escorted off the premises by security, this shrill voice pipes up. 'Ugh, she needs to get over herself. Can't she see her Basic Bee only wants attention. She's not going to get it because no one wants to focus on fugly.'

Bee's mum stops walking at that point. She turns around and stomps up to Bailey, slapping her right across the face. Gasps ring around the hall, causing Bee's mom to storms out crying.

'She's not the first to slap her, she won't be the last.' Theia says, making us all turn around to see her munching on a bag of chips.

What? 'When did you find the time to get those chips?' I ask.

She looks me dead in the eye, with a chip mid air and says 'I make time.'

Crunch.
