Chapter 10
We took the school bus. He didn't say a thing about his car. " what do you want to do?" he asked. " finish the project and you are having dinner with us tonight". It was a surprise. But his reaction wasn't what I had in mind. He was calm. " fine, that would be nice. Thank you for telling me earlier" he said, then he laughed.
We walked past the kitchen. It was empty. Usually my mother makes food faster than any wife in this neighborhood.
" are you thirsty? Do you want something to drink?". I stood next to the fridge. Then I opened it and took a bottle of sparkly water. " no thanks" he answered. So I took the bottle with me and walked upstairs with him behind me. " I will be right back, you can start by taking out your papers if you like" I said as I stood in the hallway. " sure" he answered while he took a look in my room. I walked fast to the bathroom. Washed my face, and realized my eyes looked way to damaged. I really need to sleep. I couldn't use makeup. I hated all the products and how girls are addicted to them. Then I heard voices.
" why are you in her room?!" it was my brother, Mark. " you better have a good explanation!" that was John. What the hell were they doing.
I ran out of the bathroom. They stood in my room. John and Mark side by side and James alone.
" what are you doing here?! Can't you leave people I talk with alone?? It's insane, don't you have other things to do? Like finding a job or kissing cathy?" I looked at them with anger in my eyes. My questions hurt them. I saw the looks on their faces. " explain why he is here" " John, why do you care?? He is with me because my mom thought it would be great if we worked with the project here. Then we could have dinner!!" He was ridiculous. " I didn't know about the dinner part". Mark said to John. Were they saying I am lying? " go find a job, move out. Talk to your parents and get a life!!! Get out of my room" I was angry. I felt sorry for James. I fought with them all the time. They were not friends before, it started when I dated John. Now the two of them were trying to mess things around.
" I am going. Take it easy". Stupid John. I threw a stuffed animal at him when he and Mark went out. It hit him in the head. If only it was something not soft.
" James, I am so sorry, I can't believe you saw this" I went across the room and hugged him. " John, he is not what you think he is" he said it with an angry voice. " I can read his mind, don't worry I only read minds of the demons. And he is surely one of them". I let him go, took his hand and said . " I used to go out with a demon..."
