That's really weird... 

Annie

Jess’s dress was beautiful. I still couldn’t decide. I was the only person without a dress.

Jess,Emma and Katie watched me go through the dresses. They knew how picky I was.

I went to one of the last isles and picked through the dresses hanging there.

“I think I have it!” I yelled. I saw three heads coming over to where I was.

“What does it look like?” Emma demanded.

“Not telling.” I walked into the dressing room and came out minutes later.

I felt like a princess.

The dress was a soft red color. It went down to my knees and ruffled out into small crocheted tufts. The sleeves hung loose from my shoulders. The dress showed curves and exposed my legs.

The others stood there staring.

“That’s the one!” Katie exclaimed. I laughed and went back in to change.

We went to the counter to pay. After that we walked out of the store.

“What do you think of a milkshake?” I asked. Everyone nodded and we walked towards: Pennyhills Ice Cream Company.

We sat down at a table in the corner. Soon a woman came over and took our order.

While we were waiting I noticed a man sitting in the corner staring at us. I didn’t think anything of it until I looked up at the second floor and noticed another person standing there staring directly at the ice café.

I couldn’t say anything so I took out my Samsung and wrote a text.

Don’t turn around. There’s a man watching us and someone else on the second floor. Act normal. :/

A moment later the others got the text and looked at it. They were quiet and I looked at them desperately.

What shouldwe do? –Katie

Everyone looked at their phones again.

Chat normally. –Jess

We went on to other subjects and kept talking. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched the man.

I can post, though, right?

Everyone's welcome, WritingWarrior.

Of course, Brendan! You can make a profile now, and wait until NAME comes to approve it. I think a boy could add a real twist! Someone apart from the girls, so he could be hiding something...

Ok then, I'll jump in here:

I was working the late shift at Farming Frenzy when Butterscotch jumped out of her hiding spot between the tomato and snap pea buckets and dashed down the road. I scavenged around for my metallic green flashlight and took off after her. It was nighttime, around 8:15, and it seemed like I was the only one on the road. I must have ran for 15 minutes before I caught a glimpse of Butterscotch outside the door of Pennyfield's. Jazz music echoed from inside; funny, I had no idea they did concerts there.

I picked up my caramel-colored kitten and prepared to shuffle back home, but Butterscotch had no intentions of stopping. Jumping out of my arms, she began the long sprint up the block to a tree-lined dirt road lit by the light of the moon. There were long rows of hedges that lined the place with scattered pines and thorns to back it up. Squinting through the darkness, I noticed an object lying on the grass that bordered the path. I shined my flashlight beam on it and gasped.

It was a Miami Dolphins jacket that would have been in mint condition if not for the dirt and grass stains that lined its edges. My mind began racing. There were few Dolphins fans in school, and not that many outside of school either--and there was only one I knew owned a jacket.

Jess.

I checked the tag, and sure enough, I found Jess's name written in hot pink Sharpie. What was more intruiging, however, was the note I found attached to it. Thinking nothing of it, I picked it up. Then I saw the text:

Jess, we know where you are.

We know you told your friends what's been going on.

Please open this if you value your life.

Pain shot through my stomach like a piercing arrow. There had been some pretty fishy things going on. Jess's jacket on the side of the road, a scary letter . . . come to think of it, when Jess had spilled her backpack in History, I could have sworn I saw a pepper bomb. Not to mention that her group had been passing notes and whispering in frightened tones way more often.

I didn't know Jess well--heck, I didn't know anyone well! I just had one question on my mind: what was going on here?

Well, that was longer then I expected. Enjoy!

@WritingWarrior: That would be fine with me but NAME would have to confirm.

On the way home Annie had had that look on her face that meant that she was thinking about something that worried her. When I got home I helped with dinner and I told my mother about who had got what at the mall. After dinner I read my books of herbs and after I was done with that it was 10:30. Just then I got a text message from Annie

Important Meeting @ Emma’s!! Classified Info! -Annie

After a few minutes of thought I replied; Coming! Meet you @ your house Annie! –Katie

Annie replied soon after. Ok! Meeting @ 10:45. C U there! –Annie

( I think it should be Friday night) I got ready to leave. My parents were asleep and my brother was in his room doing who knows what. I grabbed some cookies to take with me, chocolate crinkles this time.

I slipped quietly out of the house, then I discovered it had gotten cold and windy so I went back inside to grab my jean jacket and wool hat. I went back outside, hopped onto my bike, and rode to Annie's house. The wind made those eerie noises in the trees and the moon cast strange shadows. I got to Annie's house quickly and found her waiting at the door.

We exchanged greetings, got back on our bikes, and rode to Jess' house. She too was waiting at the door and we set off, now a party of three, to Emma's house. (By the way Princess P. should be posting soon since it has been three weeks.) When we reached her house we got off her bikes and climbed up the trellis. Emma was on her bed staring at the ceiling. She got up and greeted us. Then she went into the closet and we followed her.

We all sat down on the beanbags and I passed around the cookies. Annie started the meeting.
