strongest weapon
or threat”
Um okay but why do I need to know that?
He really has you love
drunk, doesn’t he?
What the hell are you talking about?
Think about it Amethyst,
You can be used as a shield to ward off whatever they’re going to
do when they come. He using you as a shield you’re just a pawn in
Christophe’s little game.
…
I mean, why else would he
go out with you so quick?
And all it took was that and even though
class wasn’t over, the teacher was yelling and she’d probably get
in trouble, Algebra class was over for her. She grabbed her books
and opened the classroom door, “Fuck you, Alias,” and then left. Of all the mean things to say, he had to say that? She
thought. Just when I thought he might be a semi decent person he
tries to…no way. It can’t be like that, can it? Christophe wouldn’t
do that but…. Her thought trailed off. As much as she didn’t
want to stay at school, she had to talk to Christophe, soon.
Chapter 12:
These Are Just the Games We Play
Three days later…
Christophe hasn’t been home since
Monday. Alias thought. I know that I probably shouldn’t
worry, mom isn’t and Alex isn’t. He thought through gym class.
“Alias, where’s Christophe?” she asked. They had been on pretty
even terms recently and treating each other like decent human
beings but she was off too.
“I-I don’t know,” He said not intending on
sounding as nervous as he did.
“Wait? So it’s not just me…he just vanished?”
Amethyst said sounding confused.
“Yeah but he didn’t tell anyone he was
leaving or where…the last person he talked to was you, what did he
say?” Alias asked.
She blushed, “Uh definitely nothing about
leaving”.
Great now I really have no clue, mom isn’t
worried ‘cause Christophe’s just him. He leaves and adventures for
a day or so but he always warns us. He thought.
“ Relax Ali, your brother just forgot, it’s
happened before,” he could hear his mother’s voice echo in his
head. But although as sweet as his mother was, she was absentminded
at best and ever optimistic. “But there’s something different
this time, he didn’t just forget….something happened to him” he
remembered some more.
“ Don’t be silly Ali, but then that’s just
you, so protective over everyone you come into contact with, sweet
boy you are Alias, If only you could trust a bit,” She would
say right before ruffling his hair.
“I don’t like this school,” Alex said when he
ran to meet him after final bell.
“Why is that?” Alias said with a laugh.
“Why do I have to wear this stupid uniform?
And why are the eighth graders bigger than the juniors in your
school? And why am I getting picked on and flirted with nonstop?”
Alex said in one breath.
“Cause your in middle school, they probably
got left back, cause you’re the new foreign kid,” Alias said with a
laugh. “And as for the flirting, I don’t know I guess American
girls like the accent, but as for your face…they’re all blind,”
Alias joked.
“Hey, you’re not so pretty either!” Alex
yelled as they walked toward the bus stop. He felt his phone
vibrate in his pocket…Christophe
