The look on Charlieʼs face was positively wicked "Do you want another piece of ed to deliver the common line of trash talk so that it sounded like a co, I did want a piece of him All sorts of pieces Lip pieces Hand pieces And his Ada Ada for a response when so my vision Once I pulled it off, I realized it was one of Moan sweaters Jase rabbed the first thing he found
"You looked cold," he said in a flat voice
The sweater was a bit sood two inches above ethome anyway?" I asked Charlie "Arenʼt you supposed to be spending your Spring Break in Miami with December or whatever her name is?" Of course, I knew her name was January, but only because Jase had finally told me, and he only did that after I questioned hi that he had a girlfriend, I didnʼt feel coave Jase a quick, annoyed look before tellingMonday I proine poor stupid- when Charlie disappeared for an entire night during their roetaway Also, it would be a bit difficult for him to attack my boyfriend from a different state
Charlie peppered h the cabinets in search of a Pop-Tart I wanted to laugh at the absurdity of it all We were really supposed to sit around, eat a casual breakfast, and have prosaic conversation? They were planning an assault just five ears so quickly?
"Where are you going?" Charlie asked as I eneric strawberry toaster pastry in one hand and a cup of acerbic liquid in the other

I hadnʼt been in the woods long when the clouds began to roll overhead, causing a preuide Since I had skipped the whole Girl Scout thing in favor of activities Jase and I could do together, ate in the wilderness was fairly pathetic As far as I could tell, rew on more than one side of a tree and the compass feature on my phone was less than helpful I would have called Talley, whose o, but the trees blocked all reception

My options for shelter were pretty lie tree had fallen over onto a big rock near the base of a hill It wasnʼt the Hilton, or even a nice dry cave, but it blocked so fro in my head
The rain was cold Not just cold, but icy cold In fact, I felt certain there was sleet h the flian to realize the fairly hopeless situation I had gotten an to pray that either the storm would pass over or that some kind person would come tomy calls Or maybe God just didnʼt feel the need to answer the prayers of complete morons
The last time I checked my still serviceless phone, it was just before two After that, I couldnʼt see into the pocket ofmy eyes was that this was an exceptionally stupid way to die
When I first heard el of Death had come to call me from this world to the next Either way, it didn’t seeo with the Angel of Death theory when I felt round Apparently, he decided if I wasnʼt going to get up and follow hih the Pearly Gates Of course, that was assu to Heaven
