Not may interesting things happened over the week. James did become my friend, slowly but surely. I came to miss his annoying presence when he wasn't there. I guess my small, shallow crush turned into something much bigger. Today was the day that the group was breaking me out, or, at least telling me the plan.
I walked into the visitation room, seeing the group waiting for me. Raven explained the plan to me in a simple fashion. The plan was to break me out tomorrow. I bet they wouldn't mind if I bring James with me... Not. At. All.
I continued with my normal routine for the day, making sure to be near James at all times. He teased me for 'getting too attatched' but it would be worth it. Anything to get out of here was worth it.
"Alex, seriously, why are you following me around? You didn't seem to like me earlier," He asked.
"No reason, just waiting for-"
Suddenly, a loud, blaring alarm went off. It was painted fully loud, and all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball on the floor, but I didn't. I grabbed James's hand and I bolted.
This was part of the plan. Crystal set off the alarms on one side, and I was supposed to meet the group at the other side.
"Alex! We're supposed to go back to our cell!" James shouted over the alarm.
"No! This is part of the plan!" I yelled back. He tried to get out of my grip, but I held on tighter. He realised that there was no use, since I easily overpowered him.
Once I got to my destination, I was pleased to see a gaping hole in the fence. Once James realised that I was trying to get him out of here, and didn't struggle against my grip.
Once I got out, I was met with a dissaproving Raven.
"I told you not to bring anybody!" She whisper yelled, "We don't have enough room!"
"It's okay, I'll just sit on his lap," James replied smugly. My face felt like it was on fire. Raven must have noticed.
"Oh, okay. Fine," She muttered.
Raven led the two of us to the car. She hopped in the front. Maddie was already in the back, and Crystal came running, and hopped in the car. I climbed in, James climbing in right after me. We shared a seat, not wearing seatbelts, since there wasn't enough room.
Ayro stepped on the gas petal, and we were out of there in a matter of seconds.
Maddie
Ayro drove the car relentlessly. The police were after us, of course. That's what we get for breaking two prisoners out. I looked at the seat in front of me, currently where Raven was sitting. I didn't want to socialise with these new people. I barely understood why we were rescuing them in the first place. I glanced at Crystal, who was intently watching Ayro. She had this look on her face that I couldn't explain.
Sure, she was my friend, but I was jealous of her. She had a wonderful social life, if anything. I had no idea how her home life was, though. It was something she didn't talk to me about.
The main reason I was jealous of her wasn't her perfect social life. It was Raven. The two have been very close since they met. I've always been trying to catch Raven's attention, but she never, ever strayed it away from Crystal.
I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. Now was not the time to think about these things. So, instead, I focused my attention on the two prisoners we had worked hard to break out. Time to do what I do best. Analyze.
Alex, Crystal's twin brother. White hair, pale skin, red eyes, and a missing ring finger on his left hand. Seems calm and collected, unless James talks to him, or rather, flirts with him. His story behind the missing finger suggests a bad family history.
James, don't know anything about his family. Seems calm, collected and very flirty. Seems to like teasing Alex.
I blinked a few times, letting myself process this information. Then I analyzed everyone else.
Ayro, Raven's family friend, grew up with Raven. Light brown, no scratch that, auburn hair. Has a feminine feel to him. Definitely hiding something. Seems nice and trustful, but I shouldn't trust him.
Crystal, Raven's best friend. Dirty blonde hair, violet eyes, honey colored skin. Seems to have some sort of PTSD or trauma. Has a huge crush on Ayro. Nice, sweet and helpless. A huge heart breaker, though she doesn't realise it.
Raven, literally the most perfect person to ever exist. Nothing is wrong with her and nothing will ever be wrong with her. She is absolutely the most beautiful human being that exists on this earth. I would die for her.
I blinked a few times. Every time I try to analyze her, that's all I think. I don't know why this happens. She doesn't seem to care about me, just about Crystal. I don't know why she bothers keeping me around. I'm always hounding her for attention and she never gives it to me. I let out a sigh. Crystal imidietly looked at me. I think she sensed something was wrong. She gave me a worried smile and squeezed my hand.
I looked down at my lap. How could I hate such a caring and sweet person? What's wrong with me? She's never done anything wrong, yet here I am, hating her guts even though she cares deeply about me.
"Maddie, once we're safe, I want to talk to you, okay?" She asked.
I nodded in reply. This was going to be a difficult conversation.
