<strong>"It's okay.  You remember now."</strong><br/><br/>The voice spoke to her, and suddenly, she did remember. She looked at Patty, her friend since middle school and gave a laugh. "Sorry Patty, you know how forgetful I am sometimes," she said with a chuckle and finally noticed the look on her friend's face. She turned around to see who she was staring at and saw Billy Weird. And he was touching her shoulder. She immediately stood up and backed away from him, feeling shivers crawl up her spine as he spoke again.<br/><br/><strong>"Don't worry, Patricia.  Olivia is just going through a transitional period in her life, and sometimes there are side effects.  Temporary amnesia, hearing voices, that sort of thing.  Isn't that right, Olivia?"</strong><br/><br/>Olivia was dumbfounded, she didn't really know what to say to him. They had never really spoken, and when it was, she always teased or made fun of him, up until he broke some kid's arm of course. The teasing stopped after that, but there were still whispers around school about him. Thankfully, Patty spoke up for her, calling him a freak. Patty was your typical popular girl, with designer clothes, and a 'better-than-you' attitude, but she was a good friend.<br/><br/>Olivia gave a sigh and rolled her eyes. "I have no idea what you're talking about Billy," she said in her most nonchalant tone. In all honesty, he was right, but she couldn't let Patty know that. "We have to go," she said and turned around, tugging at Patty's arm. Patty made another face at Billy and the two girls walked to Olivia's Mercedes.<br/><br/>Patty rolled her eyes and looked at Olivia with her nose wrinkled up. "Ugh, can you believe he touched you! You have to burn that shirt now, you know." Olivia laughed and got into the car, starting it up. "You're probably right." She fiddled with the XM radio and found a station she liked. "Hey, you want to go shopping instead? I feel like some retail therapy." Patty nodded and Olivia gave a sigh of relief. She really didn't feel like being alone right now, feeling shaken from her temporary memory lapse. It was scary that Billy knew that about her, and how did he bring back her memory?<br/>
