Chapter 66: The Call II

I called Missy. She was way too young, but somehow she really knew how to gossip.

Charlie looked at me, slightly of...

A few days had passed since that messy birthday party. One of my eyes was slightly red—probably some kind of irritation—so I decided it was time to get it checked.

Earlier today, I had a ...

My aunt leaned toward...
