"Phoebe!" I screamed out loud, unable to take it anymore. I came out from my hiding spot and headed straight toward her.
The laughter stopped instantly. A dozen heads turned, their eyes widening as they took in my disheveled state. My hair was falling out of its pins, and my eyes were red and swollen from crying.
