Show Inside Out, 112 Chapter 24: Terra Dear Terra, Bet you 're wondering how I got this into your history book in your locker. I have powers that you know not of, my beautiful lady. My very distant lady. Why have you been dodging me? Are you playing hard to get? Are you becoming too good for us? You need to remember that you 're one of us. You belong with me. That guy where you work wouldn't tell me your work schedule. That's OK. I can watch and figure it out myself I'm always watching. Party at Cole's house Saturday. See you there, Chiquita. The note, and the fact that he had gotten into her locker, creeped her out enough that she showed it to Dr. Scofield. "Yes, my dear, he does sound like a creep." "What should I do?" "Has he threatened you?" "No . . . but I'm scared anyway. I couldn't eat with them today, so I went to the dance room." Dr. Scofield tapped his fingers together. "I don't think you need to call the police yet," he said. "But you should tell your parents. And you should tell him plainly that you don't want him hanging around you. And then stay clear of him." "But I like the other kids-" "Can you be friends with them without being with him?" "I'm not sure." "Maybe you should find out." "They're nice people-the others." "OK," he said. "That's fine. Then they'll understand what your worries are if you tell them." |
