Chapter 16
    Code furnace
    “Pam, how many times have I told bạn to not fake injuries to the nurse and sleep through the whole ngày of school?”
    I scrunched my brow. “Over twenty times.”
    Adam scowled. “You missed a whole ngày of school, and! bạn made Beth too!”
    “Hey! Beth agreed with me!” I said, “her life, her choices.”
    Adam rolled his eyes. “You’ve been doing this since ninth grade Pam, just endure the pain of school with the rest of your fellow students.”
    I laughed. “Yeah, right. Me? School? Everyday? I’d go nuts.”
    Adam pushed me gently. “Hey, Pammy, grades matter, and school matters. Just…your older now, thêm mature than before, trust me, college is literally a living H.”
    I nod. “I know, but I really was tired, I usually wake up when last period starts, not when school ends. And the nurse lets me stay for the remainder of the day. I’m sorry.”
    Adam shrugs. “You are one lazy gal.”
    I stand up. “Don’t start the judging game, whisker pants.”
    I start running up the stairs and I laugh as Adam yells. “What a witty comeback, PJ!”
    In my room, I immediately turn on the computer and check the latest gossip. Nothing, of course. I check Grey’s fb, but he hasn’t updated for awhile. Sighing I just started typing ngẫu nhiên words and learning some new things. I did this trend for awhile until my cell phone rang.
    “Talk to me,” I say as soon as I open the phone.
    “Get your lazy butt over here now,” Ali’s bossy voice đã đưa ý kiến over the line.
    “Why?”
    “Now Pammy sammy, now.”
    “Why now?”
    “Move that little butt of yours and get to my house now!”
    “But-”
    “NOW! It’s code red! Blue! Furnace!”
    “Fine! I’m coming!” I say as I regretfully have to get up from my lovely position of laziness, and it was very painful for me, for I tình yêu to laze around.
    
    “What?!” I ask rather loudly once Sage opens the door, she wears a grave face as she lets me in.
    I try again. “What’s going on?”
    She doesn’t reply as I follow her to Ali’s room, it’s so weird being in a one-story house, let alone Ali’s, she always liked to keep us away from her family, this is probably my third time in here.
    Sage opens the door to Ali’s bubble gum màu hồng, hồng room, even though Ali isn’t a người hâm mộ of that light pink. Her rebellion to the color is lots of posters of rock bands, old newspaper articles, and tons of pictures of us. Ali, Honey, Scotty, and Talia sit in the middle of the room, like we were in some surreal séance.    
    “Okay, what’s going on in here? bạn rush me but it doesn’t look like your waiting in pain as your voice suggested. What’s wrong?”
    Ali stands up. “There going to destroy it.”
    “Destroy what?” I ask desperately.
    Sage ignores that question. “After everything it’s been through they plan on destroying it!”
    “Destroy what?!”
    “It was practically our haven.” Ali mutters sadly.
    Right now I’m muttering some very rude words under my breath, before I take a deep breath. “What are they planning on destroying?”
    “Okay…um, just don’t freak out.” Sage says.
    “Tell me!”
    Ali sighs. “Our beloved cây park.”
    Okay, so right now as     I’m dying on the very spot I’m standing on, I know your tiếp theo question.
    What are bạn guys talking about?
    Well bạn nosy people, our beloved cây park was as Ali said, our very own haven. It’s basically just this small cute area of grassland, a little cute park, barely anything. There was a cây house that was built there a few years before we all were born.     
    Beth and I used to hang out here when we were so younger, Beth invited me one ngày during kindergarten, and my, parents agreed. We hung out there for a whole amount of time through elementary, and we invited Ali one ngày because we felt bad when she fell over the monkey bars. We were at the were friend stage in third grade, so we invited her. And then Sage appeared in middle school and we just started going there practically everyday after school.     Until high school when we just started hanging out at our places. But it’s still our place, they can’t tear it down! They just can’t!
    “Pammy, don’t start.” Sage warned, seeing the look on my face.
    “Uh oh,” Ali muttered.
    “What?” Honey asked.
    “She’s got her idea face,” Sage said.
    “It’s pretty rare to see one.” Ali whispers.
