Me and Levi used to be inseparable. Then we turned 16 and strated freshman year of high school. We started hanginh out less and less, then soon we almost never saw each other.

We both havw these friend groups. In mine there’s, my boyfriend Jackson, Izzy, Maria, and Alex. In Levi’s he has everyone on the cheer team, and everyone on the football team. He is also on the football team. Levi is the boy that everyone wants to be around.

We were in the same Honors English class. He and I are in the morning, and most of the people from his group, and all of the people from my group are in the afternoon one.

Our parents have never liked each other. We both don’t know why, they have never told us. I have a suspicion that they told him and not me because they think he is “responsible”. Well I am just as responsible as he is!

One afternoon I got home from school and there he was. Sitting on the couch in front of the TV screen.

He looked back and said,” Oh, hey.”

He paused like he forgot my name. We had been friends from kindergarten to 8th grade. How could he not rememeber my name!

“What are you doing here?” I said it like I was looking at a spoiled egg. The words just slipped put of my mouth.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.” I said again.

“Its okay. My mother is in the hospital so your mom said I could stay here.” Levi said.

Levi’s parents are divorced and his dad now lives in Oklahoma whereas we live in New Jersey.

“First off, I am sorry your mom is in the hospital, and second off, out parents hate eachother. Why did she let you stay here?”

“Sorry again.” I said. It just slipped out!

“Nah your good. I would be confused too. And to why your mom let em stay here, I don’t know, I think she just felt bad for me.”

I shrugged and went to my room upstairs. Little did we know that my mom felt bad because she did something very wrong.

We discovered it the next morning when there were cops outside our house. Turns out my mom was being arrested because she put poison in Levi’s mom’s drink.

After that day, I went to live with my friend Maria. Her parents were always nice! I haven’t heard from mom and I am not sure I want too. If she poisoned Levi’s mom, what else could she do?
