In Frost

Chapter 15 The Darkness Of Chloe Thompson

"Does her name mean anything to you?" the officer asked us. I looked down, hesitant to answer. "She's... She's a girl at my school" I said finally, "She.. she bullies me to..."

The officer was quiet for a minute, then he said "Alright, we'll look into it."

"I'll have Officer Daniels and Officer Layla escort you back home" he continued, motioning to two officers who were watching us.

We nodded as we got out of our seats and left the police station with the two officers close behind. There was silence as we all got into one of the police cars and drove away from the police station, towards home.

When we got back, we stayed in the car for a bit until dad said "Thank you for driving us home."

The two officers nodded as me, mum and dad got out of the police car. Then, shortly after they drive off, leaving us alone in our front yard. "Come on, let's head inside" Mum said as she began walking up to the house. Me and Dad followed her, not saying a word. When we got inside, none of us said anything. I went upstairs and went into my room. Just as I was about to get into bed, I remembered something. I crouched down and grabbed a baseball bat that I completely forgot I had, then I stood up, got into bed and fell asleep, holding onto the bat.

When I woke up next morning, Silence filled the house. That was strange I thought. I got up and went downstairs to look for mum. Strangely, I didn't find Mum in the kitchen where I would usually find her. Instead, I found a note on the kitchen bench.

It Read: Gone out shopping, Won't be back till 4. Love Mum.

I placed the note back on the table and started making my breakfast. Just when I was finished, I saw dad from the corner of my eye enter the kitchen, he was wearing his work clothes.

"Oh, Morning Sonya" he said, almost smiling at me. I glanced over at him "Morning Dad" I said, then I went back to making breakfast. "So.. how you doing?" He asked me, "I'm fine" I answered as I grabbed my breakfast and began to leave when his words caught me off guard,"I'm sorry."

I stopped and looked over to him. "I'm sorry how hard I've been on you and your mother, I had no right to great you that way." "Dad..." I started "I don't ask that you forgive me, I just want you to know that... I'm sorry" Dad turned and was about to walk away when I said:"I forgive you."

He stopped and looked at me "I just hope that Mum can forgive you too" I continued. He smiled and then left the room, leaving me to finish making my breakfast.

After I finished eating, I went back upstairs and got changed into some blue leggings and a light green T-Shirt with some sneakers. When I went downstairs, I found Dad at the front door, ready to leave. "Ok, I'll be home at 6" he said. He began walking over to his car.

"Bye Dad" I called out. He looked over to me from his car and he waved "Bye Sonya."

And with that, we got in his car and drove away to work. I smiled as I turned around and went upstairs and grabbed my bag.

After that, I went back downstairs and began making my way to my bus stop. When I got there, I waited for about 10 minutes when the bus finally came. When I got on, it was strange.

While I was heading to my seat, everyone was watching me. There stares felt different to the ones I got every other day.No, for some reason I felt that they were staring at me for a reason.

I sat next to Gwen and even she was looking at me. "Why is everyone staring at me?" I asked her, almost in a whisper. "It's because of what happened last night, with Scott breaking into your house" Gwen explained.

I looked at her surprised. "How does everyone know about that?" I asked her, "It's all over the radio" she explained. "

I sighed as I looked over at the other kids on the bus, a few of them were staring at me. Great, This is going to be a long day!

For the rest of the bus ride to school, Some of the kids talked to me, like asking me if I'm ok, The two twins Jessica and Phoebe who rarely ever talked to anyone but themselves asked if I was ok. It felt as If I was becoming a celebrity or something.

When the bus finally drove into school, The first thing I noticed was that an FT News van was parked near school, I saw a camera man and a young reporters, it looked like they were recording something for the news.

As me and Gwen hopped off the bus, I saw Izzy and Eliza waiting for us. "Hey Izzy, Hey Eliza" me and Gwen said, "Hey You guys" Izzy said, sort of frowning "I heard what happened to you on the radio, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I fine" I said, I then noticed that Chloe's group was not too far away from us, Without thinking I walked over to them, the girls following closely behind.

"Chloe!" I yelled, she looked over to me, a smirk spread across her face, I hadn't noticed but a large group of kids surrounded us, as if they expected a fight.

"What do you want freak?" she asked me in a annoyed tone. "You know what Chloe, why did you send your dog Scott to my house?" I yelled. A few gasps came from the bystanders as they began talking amongst themselves.

They were suddenly silenced when Chloe and her friends laughed as if In triumph. "Seriously freakshow, why would I do that to my boy toy?" she asked me nastily. I folded my arms as I gave her the most menacing glare I could give.

"Ooo, I'm so scared" she mocked, pretending to shiver. I began power walking slash marching towards her, reading to give her a piece of my mind when the P.E system went off.

"Excuse me teachers and students, Could Chloe Thompson please come up to the office, thank you."
Chloe looked offended, "This isn't the end Freak" she said, pointing her finger at me, "Not by a mile!" she stormed away, heading towards the office.

I sighed, deep down I had a feeling that she was right.
