K.A.N.S - chapter 4 (part 4)

As I entered the room I noticed that her walls were covered with posters of boy bands. Most of them were of Olly Murs and one direction. I couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of these. Then I turned and saw a big poster of Justin Beiber’s face. The poster has been drawn on and has crosses on the eyes and a big beard. The poster also has darts thrown all of the face trying to get him I the eye. From this I could establish that she loves Olly Murs and Harry from one direction but hates Justin Beiber. I couldn’t help but laugh. Her bed was placed in the corner of the room and had fluffy pink pillows propped up on the side against the wall. On the other side of the room she had a desk with a computer on it, the computer was switched on and she had clearly been using it before I had thrown rocks at her window. She then placed the blow up bed next to hers and grabbed the bedding from me.
“You ok sleeping down here?” she said pointing at the now made bed.
“Yeah I’ll be fine thanks” I replied not really thinking about the question. There was a few minutes silence when Esme spoke up.
“Do you want me to call the police or take you to the hospital?” she said looking deep into my eyes.
“No I’ll be fine. I’ll rest my arm tonight and see to it in the morning and I’m sure the police have better things to do than track down a group of boys who they probably won’t even find” I tried to put a little laugh on the end but I just couldn’t find it. Then when I thought about it I realised that I couldn’t go to the hospital because they would want to see my parents who are not home because my mum is dead and my dad left leaving me alone since I was 11 years old. I managed to fight for myself since then and I won’t just let a broken arm get in the way of that; Also because I don’t want to go into care because people treat you differently and I don’t want that to happen. If I went to the police they would find out about Taylor and the intruder in my house. It’s not that I don’t want them to help; it just that I don’t think they will believe me when I mention my powers and the weird connections between my new form teacher and these 3 boys. Then whilst I was in mid thought I heard a bell coming from behind me. I looked up and saw Esme walking towards her computer.
“It’s Chiara wanting to video chat” said Esme from the other side of the room. “Do you mind if I accept?”
“Yeah sure, I don’t mind” I said walking over to the computer. When I got over to the computer I sat on the empty chair next to Esme and waited for the webcam to start working. Then I saw a picture on the screen, it was very pixelated but I managed to see Chiara’s face.
“Hey guys” shouted Chiara with a big grin and a waving hand. From what I saw, she seemed very excited.
“Hey Chiara” said Esme and I in unison
“What’s Sophie doin’ there?” said Chiara who obviously just noticed that I was there
“Oh, she just came over for a sleepover tonight cause her mums working nights and we live the closest together” replied Esme quickly. I was like she knew what to say. Strange…
“Oh okay then” said Chiara in a happy voice. She did seem awfully happy tonight. There was a short silence.
“Guess what guys” shouted Chiara
“What?” said Esme in a sarcastic voice looking like she wanted to know
“My mummy brought me a fish today and I called it Chloe!!” Chiara was fit to burst with enthusiasm and happiness. I must admit; Chiara is the only one who can get excited about a pet fish called Chloe.
“Congratulations!” I said finding my voice
“I know right. I’m so happy” said Chiara “here. I’ll show you Chloe” Chiara got off her chair and I could hear Chiara saying Chloe’s in a baby voice. It was so funny.
“Chiara!” said a voice from inside her house. I’m guessing it’s her mum’s. “You better be in bed because it’s a school night” shouted her mum.
“I am mum; don’t worry” shouted Chiara.
“You better not be lying, because you don’t want the boogie man to come and get you do you?” shouted her mum
“Okay mummy” said Chiara. She came over to the computer screen “sorry guys I’ve gotta go. See you tomorrow in school”
“Kay” said Esme. She then moved her mouse and clicked the ‘End chat’ button. As soon as she clicked it we both burst out in a fit of laughter. I knew that Chiara was weird but I didn’t know her family was as well. We both let out some more laughs until we calmed down. After that there was a silence.
