"There you are Sarah. We were waiting for you." Sarah heard her name called out for the second time since all the girls in school had changed.
Looking to her left, Sarah saw a girl approaching her. "Waiting for me for what?" She asked.
"We always wait for you...where have you been?" The girl asked.
She obviously was supposed to know this girl...but she didn't. But unless she found an ally, she would be like Katira in Book 3 of...Sarah paused. Where the hell did that come from? All of the sudden, she'd clearly remembered this reference to some fantasy novel. "I...need to go home," she said, suddenly.
"Umm...okay? I thought we were going to do our homework then hang out."
"I need to go...before someone discovers me...." Sarah said. She hiked up her dress and hurried off leaving her new friend looking after her, confused.
A few seconds later, a brown haired girl joined her. "Where is Sarah going?" She asked.
"I don't know...she was acting kind of weird."
"It's Sarah..." the brown haired girl said.
"I mean, I found her, and then she looked at me like she didn't know who I was and then said she needed to go home before she was discovered, then started off..."
The brown haired girl, who bore a slight resemblance to Jon, paused. "That's the wrong way for her house. We'd better catch up with her."
Sarah ran toward the McMillan household.
