Chapter fifty two

It wasn't Monday. But it felt as though everyone knew the reason for the assembly, even Gracie knew. As she marched to the basketball court with other students her eyes searched for Tori.

Unable to find her when she entered the hall and everyone was making their settlement. She glanced sideway to see a set of boys laughing at her. It was boys from the basketball team. She ignored them and headed forward, finding a seat when someone called.

She looked around, especially in the row she was seeking seat. Her eyes jammed with Tori's.

"Settle down, the principal has something to say." Mrs Davis announced over the mic.

Quickly, she glided passed the people on her way to met her beat friend, murmuring her sorry as usual.

"Were where you yesterday?" Tori asked as Gracie sat beside her.
