front of her laptop and signing into her messenger to check who was online. She frowned when she saw both Crystal and Josh go offline. Her brother and Angela, another school friend, were still online. She ignored the rest of the people listed as online, since she only knew them through games. Maybe her brother would know the secret her mother was keeping from her.
     
    Amber says: Miss me yet?
    Jay says: Who’s this?
    Amber says: Ha, ha, very funny.
    Jay says:
:)
    Amber says: What’s mum meant to tell me?
    Jay says: How would I know?
    Amber says: Her and the witch were yelling and I heard the witch say something about her not having told me something.
    Jay says: Could be anything.
    Amber says: Took you ages to reply to that. You sure you don’t know something?
    Jay says: You sure you don’t?
    Amber says: What’s that supposed to mean?
    Jay says: How long you planning on staying with Grandma?
    Amber says: As short a time as possible.
    Jay says: Really?
    Amber says: What gives?
    Jay says: g2g.
    Amber says: Jay!!!!
    Jay says: Pay more attention. And I didn’t say anything.
    Amber says: You haven’t said anything. Stupid cryptic comments.
    Jay says: Can’t spell this one out for you. Gotta figure it out for yourself.
    Amber says: Fine! Have you seen Crys and Josh about? Never seem to be able to get hold of them lately.
    Jay says: Both of them???
    Amber says: Didn’t I just say that?
    Jay says: Hmmm.
    Amber says: Spit it out.
    Jay says: They avoiding you? You’re normally chatting away to them every night.
    Amber says: Why would they be avoiding me? Not like I wanted to move here.
    Jay says: Are you sure we’re related?
    Amber says: Some days I really hope not!
    Jay says: g2g.
    Amber says: You trying to avoid me?
    Jay says: No. Bed calling. Some of us actually try and pay attention in class and not use it as sleeping time.
    Amber says: K. Later.
    Jay says: Night.

Chapter Three
    Amber exited the window and checked to see if Angela was still online. Relieved to see she was, she clicked on her name. Maybe she could give her some answers. No one else seemed to be interested in telling her anything.
     
    Amber says: Where is everyone lately?
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: I’m right here
:)
    Amber says: Hi everyone! How about Crys and Josh? They never seem to be about.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: Guess they’re busy.
    Amber says: But you see them at school, right?
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: Of course.
    Amber says: They said anything? I’ve sent them all types of messages and heard nothing back.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: They haven’t talked to you at all?
    Amber says: No.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: Guess they must be busy.
    Amber says: Come on Inge. Spill!
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: I’ve got nothing to spill.
    Amber says: Inge!!
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: They said they’d talk to you. You have any voice messages on your phone? Texts?
    Amber says: Nothing. It’s like they’ve dropped off the face of the Earth.
    Amber says: Disappeared.
    Amber says: Were abducted by aliens.
    Amber says: Kidnapped by Bigfoot.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: I get the drift. No need for more scenarios.
    Amber says: And I was just getting warmed up!
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: g2g.
    Amber says: NO!
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: My mum just told me lights out.
    Amber says: Talk to me. I need to know what’s going on.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: Have you rung them?
    Amber says: Yes. And sent a million texts. Come on! You know what’s happening. I’ll keep ringing you all night if you don’t tell me. You won’t get any sleep.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: We were at a party Friday night.
    Amber says: The day I left! You didn’t pine for me for long.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: You want to hear this or not?
    Amber says: Yes.
    Snowflake… or just a flake says: They’d had a couple of drinks. I didn’t think it was many, but maybe
