"Honey would you like to explain your first day as a Senior went?" My mom followed me up the stairs. I gave her a brief summary as I was ready to take a nap. The day was tiring, and while I loved my mother... I needed some alone time.

"I'm tired, gnight mom!" I slammed the door, though it was only partially my fault seeing as my window was open and the wind always makes doors slam. I could practically hear her flinch on the to her side, so I yelled out an apology.

"Its only 3pm (Y/n)!" She was staring to get angry. I yelled out fake snoring sounds until she walked off. *BZZZ* I looked at my phone see a message from the group chat Richie had mentioned.

is anyone here?

I stared in contemplation on whether I should be nice or not.

I am alive!

I decided to be a good person.

(Y/n)! Just the person I was looking for!! So how was ur first day??

It was not as bad as I thought. Me and Jason were partners in Biology and I found out we had a crazy english teacher. There's also this weird boy in my math class....

Mr.L is strange.

TREVOR! MY BABY!!

....Richie, you know I'm not a fan of "baby"

come on Mr.Silent~ SHOW ME LOVE!!

👁👁 Richie... Are you and Trevor together?

HA

my dear (Y/n)~ I'm Bisexual! But no we are not, and look who's joined the party

0///0 I'm here too...

MY TEDDY FREDDY!!

(∆///∆)~

Richie stop flirting with everyone...

Well if it isn't the only other lady in the group~

That teens continued to have a nice conversation through the night. Juliet seemed a bit happier, though it was not the same energy she had on (Y/n)'s first day back. The next week or so the teens would hang out at lunch, and then talk all night. (Y/n) felt like she truly had friends. What she did not realize was that Juliet was slowly becoming more and more quiet. She wouldn't text as much, she would be late to lunch and she generally sounded more tired. (Y/n) didn't know what was wrong, shouldn't she be happy that she has her old friend back, and that she got along so well with her new ones? She started to be more open about it, she was becoming more depressing through text, but one of the boys told (Y/n) that she did this from time to time for attention, and if she recalled correctly, Juliet used to do the same thing in elementary school. So she brushed it off for now.

About 2 weeks after (Y/n)'s first week of school, the teens were at it again, texting late into the Friday night.

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! EVERYONE REPORT HERE ASAP!!!

One by one the teens opened up their phones to see the message and quickly texted a "what" in krder to tell him they were there.

Now that we're all here. We should all hang out tomorrow!!

Where?

You and Juliet could come to our area. We have a park not too far from out house.

Our area? You guys live near each other?

They live in sort of a gated community... Its a culdesac

Oh I see!

So thats a yes?

Sure!

Sounds cool

Ok here's the address (address insert). See y'all tomorrow. Love y'all~

Richie closed the messaging app, signaling that he was offline.

So weird...

Eh... Its funny.

Yeah until he starts to get creepy... 😒

JASON!! (」'ﾟﾛﾟ)｣(」'ﾟﾛﾟ)｣

Its true. I gtg, see ya tomorrow guys.

-Jason is offline-

Ahem! Aren't you forgetting someone?

Oh right, thanks Jully, Gnight Trevor ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ~

-Freddy is offline-

Goodnight. Stay safe (Y/n). Juliet.

Trevor is offline-

At least he said something...

You seem sad Juliet... What's... What's wrong?

I... Idk. Ever since I introduced you to them they act weird. They haven't even given me the time of day...(.__. )

Well there's a new girl in the group. Guys usually do that. Dont worry, they'll want their old Jully soon.

They won't... They never...

how did you guys even meet...?

Long story...

We have time?

I just think its funny, yknow? There was no group chat before you came. They must just hate me...

I'm sure they dont hate you.

Whatever... It doesn't matter anyway. I gtg, bye.

Juliet is offline-

I closed my phone and saw it was already night, 'time flys....' I decided to just watch YouTube until I felt sleepy. I tossed and turned all night, not really knowing what was bothering me, but it was quite annoying and made me fall asleep super late....

*alarm alarm alarm* "god why... Its SATURDAY!" I yelled throwing my phone onto the floor. I rolled over and looked down at the phone. '10 missed calls and over 29 messages, holy...' I picked it up and started to see who the calls were from. 3 from Richie, 2 from Freddy and 5 from Juliet. The messages were all from the chat, except one PM from Jason. "I never went offline?!" I exclaimed as I put on some clothes and ran down the stairs. My mom was at out kitchen table drinking something when she looked up at me from her phone.

"Oh hey honey, you're up early.." She took a sip and smiled, though it fell asleep she saw my state. Messy hair and thrown on clothes. "Um... Are you ok (Y/n)?" I looked in the mirror and freaked out.

"I'm supposed to be at the park!" I screamed and rushed into the bathroom, beginning to fix myself up. I ran out, grabbed my phone, yelled a quickly "love you goodbye" and ran out the door.

"3...2...1..."

"MOM I DONT KNOW WHERE THE PARK IS!" I ran into the house with a scared look on my face.

"I'll get the keys..."

-

"Thanks mom, see ya later." I ran away from the car and heard her drive off. The park was completely deserted besides the group. Juliet and Freddy were on the swings, Richie was hanging upside down on the monkey bars... He looked like he was meditating. Jason was sitting on top of the play set roof, and Trevor was laying down on the slide. His legs were all the way out on the other side. 'Trevors like a flagpole.' I thought as I walked up. "Hey guys!" I shouted, catching Richie's attention.

"(Y/n)'s here!" Richie pulled himself off of the monkey bars and jumped down. The others noticed and started to move. Juliet didnt look up, she stared down at the ground and slowly swung back and forth.

"Sorry im late... I overslept." I nervously laughed. Richie picked me up and spun me around.

"Its ok cutie~ You're here now!" He laughed. Before I could pull away, someone punched Richie's side causing him to drop me and fall to the ground. He held his side as I stared down and then to my savior. Jason stood with his arms crossed as he looked down at Richie, who was shootinf daggers into his attacker.

"I told you it was funny until he got creepy." Jason shook his head. I laughed and decided to be nice, helping Richie up when Jason had his back towards me.

"That wasn't very nice Jason~" Richie pouted, though it was easy to tell that he was angry at him. I shook my head and smiled while walking towards Juliet. She had dark circles under her eyes and pained look.

"Julls what's up..." I smiled over to her. She looked at me and sighed.

"Nothing much..." I stared in confusion, I thought this hang out session woukd make her happy. I won't lie, I didn't pick up on it at first but I was beginning to realize she had been acting strange lately. One day she was happy then she finds out we aren't going to be in the same classes and she starts to go gray....

"I... I brought you something!" I turned to my backpack and started to rummage around for the item. She slowly turned her head over and the group took notice. They all approached, except for Trevor, and sat around in a circle, I think he was asleep. Finally I found it and pulled out. She looked at it in confusion then looked up to me for help. "Remember in fifth grade we made those bracelets? I found it yesterday and thought I would bring it." I smiled. She looked nostalgically at the circular jewelry. She lightly smiled at the bracelet.

"I remember that... I've been wearing mine since the day you left." She replied in a playfully spiteful tone, which made me think she was getting back to normal. She pulled her sleeve up revealing the bracket. I shrunk a bit in shock, she really did have it on.

"Oh... I'm sorry I haven't worn it since. I thought I had forgotten it at my old house and had to give up after searching for two years..." I looked away in guilt. She shrugged her shoulders and looked back down. Silence fell over the group as we all sat in the circle and told stories of our past. Out of no where we heard a voice.

"You should of told me (Y/n) was here." The monotone voice came from none other than Trevor. We all looked over to see him sitting to the left of Juliet.

"Where the hell did you get there?" Jason asked. He had completely snuck up on us.

"What a great sneak!" Freddy awed.

"My sneaky little ninja." Richie winked at Trevor asked her got up to leave on his swing. Trevor didn't seem to mind Richie's closeness. We all laughed, except Juliet, who was quiet, and we decided to be like little kids and play hide and seek. "ILL BE THE SEEKER!!!" Richie laughed out. We agreed and on the three we speed out. I ran toward the woods that was nearby. I found a small tree and decided to climb it. After finally getting to the top and settling, I looked to my side to see the one and only Trevor.

"What the- Trevor? I didnt even see you come in this direction." I stared. He had apparently been in the tree since the beginning.

"Dont question my mysterious ways." He shrugged and chuckled. More like ninja backgrounds...' I had to look away so I cohkd laugh at me own joke.

Richie finally found Juliet and she moped out. "You caught me..." Richie laughed and bounced up and down with her hands in his. She tried to show some enthusiasm, but it was not working well. He was now out to find the rest. After a couple of minutes he found Freddy, then Jason, and by then, all of them were searching for me and Trevor. I could see through the leaves that Juliet wasn't putting much effort.

"(Y/N)... TREVOR... COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE!!" Richie yelled. I chuckled at his child-like attitude. It made me feel nostalgic in a way. I leaned forward so that I could see if anyone was coming when u felt myself about to fall. My lips were ready to let out a cry for help when my shirt was pulled and my mouth was covered. I followed to arm to see Trevor staring into my eyes. I stared back as he let go. He simply put his hand on his lips to signal me to keep quiet. I stared in awe and gratefulness seeing as he just saved my life. I nodded before lookin down again. 'He's always so quiet... I wonder why.'

"I GIVE UP! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!?" Richie screamed. I laughed and decided to climb down. Trevor just jumped down and I stared at him in confusion and shock. "Where the- how the- WHERE!" Richie pouted. The others gathered around.

"Haha, (Y/n) and Trevor, sitting in a tree-" Jason started with a devious smile.

"Trying to hide from RICHIE" I yelled out. Everyone laughed and we all went to the swings again. We just talked and laughed for the rest of the day and we even left for lunch. Juliet seemed to be quiet the whole time, though every now and then she would make a comment and we would laugh. That would make her smile a bit. Maybe I should say something. Maybe I should help.... Maybe I shouldnt.
