Sherri groaned. She really hadn't slept much last night. And now she would pay.
It was a Monday, those were the absolute worst. But the rain had stopped.
Even that wasn't enough to lighten her mood. She had been kidnapped, and yet, she and her mother had made a unconscious agreement to go to school and tell no one.
What would it be like to face the kids? Honestly, her curiosity at this was enough to tempt her to go.
She looked in the mirror. There were offensive purplish black smudges under each eye. She frantically smeared makeup over them, but it honestly made her seem more desperate.
She ran a brush through her hair violently, pain blazing across her scalp.
A few snarls remained in her hair, and she was an honest trainwreck. Looking and her watch to see just how much she overslept, and finally noticed the thick silver cuff on her wrist, which inhibited her powers. It was a wonder she had missed it, the eyesore.
Sherri's pale face whitened. She just realized why she was the only one given this. It could be a tracking device, and I'm the perfect, gullible child to be their guide.
She finally looked at her watch, school was in ten minutes, and it was a five minute drive.
She slid into jeans, a t-shirt and a sweatshirt and ran out to the car, driving to school fast as she could.
