Chapter 12


I'm 15 minutes old and I hear a knock on the bathroom door. Who knocks on a bathroom door. Stall Maybe, but not the door.

"Come in," Leah says.

A head peeks in. A head with blackish brown hair. Ace's hair.

"What the-" I start when Marcus and Ace step in together.

"What the flip!" I scream. Ace covers my mouth. I pushed him away. I really, really didn't want him to see me like this. I go to the sink splash water on my face and dry it gently with toilet paper. It's softer than the paper towel.

"What the heck are you doing here?" I try to say normally but my voice has that after crying. My face is a mess. Worst nightmare ever.

"Leah told me and Ace to go here. I thought it was a joke when we came to a girls bathroom.

"No joke" confirms Leah.

Ace and Marcus groan.

I glare at Leah but I know I can't stay mad at her for long. She is such an innocent soul that even I can't stay mad at her.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone." I said not looking at Ace.

"Hey, I was forced here too" he said, glaring at Marcus. I turn my back to them and go into a stall. They can't get in there right?

"Come on! We can't get in there!" said Marcus

"Then don't!" I yell.

"This is a waste of time" muttered Ace.

"Then leave" I say.

"Fine". Then I hear the bathroom door close. It's just like all those years ago.

I resume my silent crying. Then after what I think is five minutes I stop crying.

"Ok that's enough dehydration" I whisper to myself. Humans are 80% water. I think I'm 70% now.

I get out of the stall and see that Leah and Marcus are right outside. There is that cartoon pause, where everything is still. Then I shut the stall door again.

"Come on we were waiting the whole time!" said Marcus.

"Kat..." Says Leah. Uh oh, I can't tell if she sounds worried or just plain pissed. I quickly come out of the stall and see that she is slightly mad.

"Kat, you can't stay in the stall forever." She says gently but firmly.

"Watch me" I say.

"What about food?" She asks and my stomach grumbles.

"Fine. You got me there" I say.

"So what's wrong?"she asks. I glance at Marcus.

"Ok bye!" He said leaving the bathroom. After he leaves I say

"I think Ace still thinks I'm a freak"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because he didn't like it when I touched him." She gasps! I give her an annoyed look".

"I mean, I was laughing super hard and grabbed his shoulder to keep myself upright. Then he backed away from me" I sniffled.

"God I hate my crying face." I say.

"Try a little water on the eyes." Suggestions Leah. I try it and my face goes back to normal after 10 minutes. We leave the bathroom and say goodbye.
