The sheriff starts to question us. But I don't pay much attention because I am going out my freaking mind. What if my mother is dead.
"Do you all know each other"
"No" Zach and Sophie say
"So why would the kidnapper take your parents"
"If we knew do you think we would be here" said Sophie
"Are you sure you've never spoken to each other" the sheriff asked ignoring Sophie
"There's no way I would ever associate my self with them" Sophie said with this cold edge in her voice. I heard Zach cough more or less fake cough.
"Excuse me Zachariah did you have something to say" Sophie said smirking at Zach
"Yes Miss Baker, am I granted permission"
"No Zachariah"
"Yes my lady" said Zach standing up and giving a curtsy"
"Zach and Sophie please stop being childish, so we can move along" said the sheriff in an annoyed tone.
Kayla looks like she's deep in thought, she's the only one of the four of us that hasn't spoken since we got here.
After a few more pointless questions the sheriff tells us "we promise to find your parents, go home you have school tomorrow"

I'm standing by my locker when Becky and Paige walk up to me. Becky and Paige are my 'bestfriends' I guess. They don't really know me and I don't really know them, sometimes I feel like they are just using me but I honestly don't care.
"Omigosh Sophie we heard what happened, how are you" Paige said in her outrageously fake British accent. Real friends would have called me or bombarded me with texts yesterday. They honestly think i'm stupid.
"I'm fine Paige"
"Anyway we made you this as a token of our sympathy" said Becky handing me a white box. I opened it and saw four chocolate cupcakes which looked professionally decorated. My so called bestfriends know I'm terribly allergic to chocolate. I inspected the box and something caught my eye.
"Hey Becky, Paige you forgot the price tag" Yup that's right busted.
"Oops" They both started laughing but I didn't get was so funny. I mean what was even the point of lying.

I only have one more class for the day. The school day was just a bucket of sympathy for me. Random people giving me condolences and constantly reminding me that my parents are in some hellhole with no help whatsoever. And our useless sheriff department are claiming to be working their asses off.
I walk into Biology class right when the class is about to start to avoid talking to anyone. Now that I sort of know Kayla I suddenly notice that she is in my biology class. Thankfully she looks better than she looked yesterday, outfit wise. She's wearing plaid pants, a plain long sleeved black top and black high top allstars.
I take my seat and the teacher starts ranting. I'm usually extremely focused in school but right now i'm to stressed to give a shit about school. I practically zone out. But I hear when the teacher says "Sophie you're with Kayla"
Kayla walks up to me and sits down"
"What are we meant to be doing" I ask Kayla
"Nothing really we were just partnered up for the rest of the semester"
"Oh" I prepare to go back to my own world. When the teacher asks us to open our textbooks to page 205 and read the contents that we would be having an impromptu quiz on it tomorrow. I don't think she knows the meaning of impromptu.
I groan and open my text book and start reading, two sentences into the passage Kayla taps my shoulder. I turn around and raise my eyebrow at her. Even though both our parents got kidnapped doesn't necessarily mean we have reached the associating level.
"Can I ask you something" I could care less on what she wanted to ask me but I say "yes" instead
"Do you think it's a coincidence that it's the four of us"
"No" the letter was addressed to all four of us anyway.
"So you think there's a reason behind it"
"What type of reason" I ask I'm vaguely curious.
"I don't know, like maybe our parents had some kind of history or something".
I almost snort, our parents, history they don't even sound proper in the same sentence. My parents never associate with people way below their level. Is what I want to say but she's currently going through the same thing i'm going through and she doesn't need me to make her feel worse.
"I highly doubt it" she looks like she's about to argue but she decides against it and says "You're probably right".

I'm sitting in my room reading for my biology test. Kayla's words come back to me 'maybe our parents had some kind of history'. I know it's definitely not a coincidence that me, Nate, Kayla and the Dick(i'm not saying this because I can't remember his name) got dragged into this. I mean none of our paths have ever crossed. I have never associated with any of them and i'm pretty sure my parents haven't associated with their parents either.
The only connection between my parents and their parents is that they all went to Sandiville High.
