'Ree can't be gone. Who will I go to when there's danger? Who else will be there for me no matter what and listen to all my problems? She can't...'

Right now I don't know if I should wait until the end of the day or if I should cut school now to go looking for her." Maria froze and stared at the girl she had only just met. She was out of practice at 'being careful' and 'keeping things secret'. "Crap. You wouldn't tell on me, would you?"
