Chapter 26(Alex)

I was slightly curious when Shorty told me that I didn't need to pick her up for school today. I wondered why she wanted to walk instead, especially when anything can happen to her. As I made it to school I got out of my car and started looking around for her wondering why she isn't here yet. She didn't live too far from school so she should've been here by now.

I suddenly hear a slight noise coming from beyond the school grounds. Curious and confused I start looking around trying to see what would make that sound. However, before I could make anything out I'm suddenly started when Chase pops up beside me. "Hey Al! Where's Sammi?" He asks while throwing his arm around my shoulder. "I don't know man, she said she wanted to walk to school so I didn't pick her up." I state while shrugging my shoulders. Hearing the bell ring, I start to become a tiny bit worried since I still haven't seen Shorty yet. Maybe her mom kept her for some reason?
