Chapter 4

I glanced sideways, first in one direction and then the other, half expecting some of her girlfriends to appear.

I was more than a little relieved when no more shadows began to move.

“Well, aren’t you one for offering a kind welcome?” Rhea sneered back at her.

“What the hell do you want, Rhea?” Zoe demanded.

I was almost gobsmacked. I’d never once heard Zoe speak up in front of Rhea. In fact, she and Luci had always cowered away whenever she was close. I couldn’t say I blamed them. The honeysuckle blonde bitch that was Rhea wasn’t by any means a nice person. In fact, she was probably even worse than Lola, my old best friend’s girlfriend, back home in London. I say worse because it appeared that now she thought I was dead. She had no problem with approaching my friends all on her own. That was something a bully never usually did. And that made her dangerous. Especially now with my not being dead and everybody thinking I was, situation.
