Chapter 15 - Isabue's POV

After I hung up on Simon I called Conner.
"I don't know what to do Conner, what if it is Luke? I mean, he heard me call her Bitch Baggage, He could have found it offensive."
"Bue, you need to calm down."
"Conner I can't calm down, everybody knows that the best way to get to me is through my friends!"
"Look, I haven't got the text yet, so maybe he just sent it to a few people..." He trailed off, I heard the clicking of a mouse in the background, "Okay Bue, don't freak out, but it's not a text message anymore," I knew what the meant, it meant that it had hit the chainmail,
"FUCK! Fuck this Conner, I can't believe this," A door slammed downstairs. "Conner I have to go, I’ll talk to you later,"
I shut my phone before he could reply and chucked it on my bed. I looked at my clock, 7:30 "that’s not right, mum won't be home till 9." I opened my door slowly and walked down the stairs slowly, I heard the fridge open and close and I walked into the kitchen slowly, the door shut and there stood, "Joey?" standing there, drinking OJ straight from the bottle was my older brother.
"Hey Sis, how's it going?" he asked when he put the cap back on the bottle, I walked towards him, the last time I saw Joey was for a minute at dad's funeral. I stopped in front of him and poked him, "What was that for?" he asked laughing,
"Checking you where real, what are you doing here?" I asked and poked him again,
"I'm here cause it’s my home, I'm allowed to be here, and would you stop poking me, I'm real." he laughed again and caught my hand. "So how is my favourite sister?"
"I'm your only sister,"
"All the more reason for you to be my favourite," He said with a stupid grin. "Is mum around?"
"No, she is working till 9, what are you really doing here?" he took my arm and linked it with his,
"Let's go for a walk."

The next day Joey was the one to wake me up, I looked at the alarm clock and it was 6:32. When I pulled the covers back over my head Joey came and shook me,
"Come on sis, we are going jogging," I pulled the pillow out from under my head and threw it at him. I heard it land on the floor with a thud and then I felt the doona flipped off my feet. Then Joey was tickling me.
"IM GETTING UP!" I yelled at him when I could breathe again. I pushed the covers off and got up. I went over to my draws and pulled out a pair of running shorts, my skins and a singlet. I opened the curtains and the sunrise blinded me. Joey came back in and asked if I was ready. I grabbed my sun glasses and we went outside. Joey started to head up towards Simon's house, we used to always run together in that direction, but I didn't want to go that way this time,
"Joey, let's go this way." I said and started to jog off in the other direction.

When we got back I ran upstairs quickly and had a quick shower. When I got out I looked at my clock,
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, and fuck." I said and grabbed my school shirt off its hanger. I couldn't find my other skirt, "Fuck!"
Just then Joey came in, "JOEY! GET OUT!" I yelled and grabbed my towel off the floor quickly to cover my underwear from my brother.
"Shit! Sorry Bue, here" he put a hand through the door and held my skirt to me, "You left it in the laundry,"
"Thanks Joey," I grabbed it and quickly slid it up and zipped it. I grabbed my bag and started for the door,
"Do you want a ride?" Joey asked as I sprinted past the lounge room,
"NO, I’m good. Bye!" I opened the door. Simon wasn't there, I sighed grabbed my keys and ran out to my car.
About half way to school I saw Simon walking along the foot path,
"HEY!" I called and pulled over a bit ahead of him, "Want a ride?" I asked when he caught up,
"Yeah, gives us time to talk," Fuck, because that’s what I want to do. when he got in I started to drive again and we talked about the text message, I didn't tell him about the email, or Joey, Simon had always hated Joey for leaving the way he did, so I didn't want to tell him he was back yet. And if he was getting this annoyed about the message I didn't want to see him when he heard about the email. We pulled into the car park and saw Conner and Taleah. I pulled in next to them,

"Taleah have you gotten a text message from a private number" Simon asked her,
"Text what text" She asked confused, Conner opened his mouth but I shook my head at him, hoping Simon didn't see,
"Bue show her the message" I pulled out my phone and opened the message.
"Sie how could anyone get that picture of us at the park" Taleah asked with shock all over her features,
"I have no Idea but I think someone followed us which is insane." he replied.
"That is insane," the next thing that flashed across Tahleah's face was a surprise, she smiled. I didn't feel quite right about that so I walked over to Conner. He smiled at me and I reached up and pecked his lips softly,
"Simon, so sorry to leave you like this, but I need to talk to Conner, I'll see you in Home room," I said and took Conner's hand and started to walk off.
"Um... Cya?" I heard Simon call,
"What is wrong Bue?" Conner asked,
"Did you see her smile?"
