Harmony, Chapter 4 Dedicated to: Awesome Friend: Alexandra Z @alex_z980 @alex_z980 @alex_z980 -Introducing: •Alex When I got home from school that day, I waited a few hours, then texted Peter. Me- Hey, it's Starr from English I waited. And waited. And waited some more. UGH!!! That night, at ten, he still hasn't texted back. He didn't reply the next day either. Then, finally, the next morning, (Sunday) my phone buzzed. "Yesss!!!!" I whispered, picking it up. But it wasn't from Peter Blocked Number- STAY AWAY. I'M WARNING YOU. "What?!" I exclaimed. Me- Who is this? Blocked Number- STAY AWAY. Creeeeppppyyyy. I thought. Wait... could it be Macy or Cassandra? It could be... I decided to text one of my best friends, Alex. Alex has EVERYONE'S phone number in her phone. Both he mom and dad are on the PTO, and the school social worker used to babysit Alex's mom. Also, Mrs. Maquilio, the art teacher, would always let her dogsit for poodle. Me- hey, who's number is this? 571-729-6016 Alex- Hang on a sec.. Me- okee dok Alex- dok? Me- forget it. Lol Alex- lol that number is Cassandra Lisiak. I dropped my phone. It clattered under the bed. It buzzed. Alex kept calling me, wondering where I went. I was frozen. My mind was racing. Why? Why me? I couldn't move. My thoughts were a whirlpool, whisking around my head, sloshing over the brim. I stood up and ran down the stairs and burst out the front door. I felt the golden California sunlight that warmed me. My mom wasn't hone and didn't care if I left to go to a friend's house. "Friend." I hopped on my bike and sped off towards Cassandra's house.
