"Thank you brother!" Shouts my best friend, Gwen. Her brother ,Caleb, just picked me and her up from school. We all live together and Because Caleb's 20 he counts as our legal garden. I've been living with them ever sense I was little. I don't remember a time I was not living with them. I was told my parents will come get me when there ready but I've given up on that. I don't care anyway I'm happy with Gwen and Caleb.
" hey Caleb why did you pick us up?" I ask leaning up to the front seat. Me and Gwen both sit in the back of the small Subaru.
" I just felt like it, sides I know you were in Spanish and Gwen was in gym. You both hate those classes so I saved you. " surprisingly this is one of the more reasonable excuses he's given me and Gwen for doing something.
" whatever," I say just going with it.
" Liz," Gwen's voice suddenly gets serious. " did you meat anyone today that was a little strange or familiar but you can tell from where?" My mind immediately goes to the strange black haired man that came into my Spanish class. I consider whether or not to share this information. He might have been no one but when I saw him I remembered the tea cup. I gave in and tell them.
" this one guy came into my class and he was a little strange but he didn't talk to me or anything. " I decided not to tell them about the teacup. Somehow I feel like it's something I shouldn't share almost like its personal.
" what do you mean by strange?" Ask Caleb his usually carefree tonereplaced by one of seriousness.
"Umm... I don't know there was just something off about him." That's all I can come up with.
" ok...lets get ice cream ." Caleb's voice returning to normal.
" WEEE!" Says Gwen childishly. " I want mint chocolate chip." The Sudden switch of topic makes me suspicious. Are they trying to hide something from me? What ever it is, it can't be to bad if it was then they would tell me, right?
