Thread: Friends would do it.. ( Me and Crow11 )

The first person to come to mind was a saint, someone Sarah had known for around a year after this girl moved into town from some other state. Sarah knew her pretty well, an A grade student with only a few selective friends that included none of the opposite sex. This girl was pretty to, untouched by makeup and or any other cosmetic toys that girls now a days and especially at her age would be using on themselves. The reason for this? Her parents, the reason for her parents attitude? Their religion. Natural was the best way to go they always said and she believed just that. Although it had been some time since speaking to her last, Sarah had dropped off the face of the earth some might say in the sense that she no longer made attending school a priority and school, for the most part, was where all her 'friends' were. Her disappearance sparked a lot of rumours, some coming rather close to being accurate in the sense that she became a junkie, to the extent of that remained something only Sarah knew. Rumours became all that Sarah was known for at the school, it cost her a lot of friends that believed them but her absence and lack of communication with the rest of the world cost her the rest. Thus why, when calling it took a few extended moments before her call was answered. Lexie was studying when the call came through, causing her black iPhone to vibrate loudly on her wooden desk. Looking over at the phone to see a name she hadn't in months was what sparked the surprised reaction. All Lexie could think of were all the rumours Sarah had sparked even if she refused to believe them. Picking up the phone, her thumb sliding across the screen to answer the call with a simple Hello? Her voice soft but also questioning with slight disbelief that it was in fact her calling instead of someone else being on the other line. Hey Lexie! How are you? Sarah sounded normal, uplifted despite the jittering that was actually occurring as the lack of a fix left her on edge. She would need to sound as normal as possible in order to have Lexie believe that she was fine. I.. I know its been ages. I went out of town for a bit and then came back. I have a job that's keeping me busy, making a living and all that stuff you know? She stumbled in the beginning as she put in place a farfetched lie that would appear utterly true to someone like Lexie. Sarah answered all the questions she knew would be immediately asked, hopefully insuring some reassurance in her sudden return. Hey listen its a friend of mines birthday today and she's having a party at the place on George street, that place called the Polygon? Yeah! I know you always said you'd want to check it out one day so why not tonight? It will be a good catch up! Her voice sounded eager while both of her feet struggled to remain still and the hand holding her own phone shook in the slightest manner. Lexie had always wanted to go to parties, to get the chance to dance away to blaring music among people that weren't from her school or that were related to her. She was never allowed though, never given the chance. although here was an opportunity, an invitation that required but a small harmless lie. She began to reply to Sarah, sounding unsure before making up her mind Okay sure! her voice increased in volume as a smile crossed her face, creasing her cheeks as she thought about how fun the evening would be. Just text me a time, I have to do some convincing.. you remember how my parents are. With that their conversation ceased, finishing with a friendly see you soon. It took time but she managed to conjure a believable lie that would allow Lexie to go out and see Sarah that night and experience a night she had always dreamed about but was never allowed.
