I really wish he'd stop doing that. He just disappears all of a sudden. Also, he acted like he knew me. I mean, who did he think he was? Just coming and sitting next to me when I didn't even know his name!
Urgh ... why do I keep thinking about him? Who cares? Obviously, I couldn't tell anyone about this, they'd I was crazy. Even Shane. I didn't like keeping things from him, but whay choice did I have? I guess I'll have to put up with this by myself.
After school, I was starving. I knew I couldn't survive the long walk home on an empty stomach. Maybe I good go and find somewhere to eat. I phoned my mom.
"Hi mom!"
"Oh, hello sweetie! What is it honey?" she asked.
May as well get straight to the point.
"Would it be okay if I went and got something to eat? I don't I can face the long walk home."
It wasn't really a queation, I was old enough to make my own decisions. I just wanted to make sure she knew so she didn't call the police at 6:30 when I wasn't home.
"Okay sweetheart, but stay with Shane." she said firmly.
I quickly asked him if it was alright with him, he nodded.
"Of course I will, mom." I assured her.
We said our goodbyes and me and Shane found somewhere to eat and sat down. After our main course, he got up to go to the men's room.
A girl about our age, who was sitting at the table next to ours called me.
"Hey there ... ummmm ... I was wondering ..." she hesitated.
"Yes?" I encouraged.
"Is that guy your ... boyfriend?" she said shyly.
I laughed "No we're just friends."
Her awkwardness vanished instantly.
"He's kinda cute" she smiled "could you do me a favour?"
She looked almost sixteen. She had glimmering blue eyes and golden silky long hair. Yep, she was definitely Shane's type, which is why I agreed to this. Shane returned.
"Hey so ... I haven't seen her here before" I said, directing his attention to her.
"Nice face and eyes. Quite pretty, but I'm more interested in someone else."
I was surprised. He hadn't told me about this, and we told each other everything-well okay, I'll admit, I didn't tell him about seeing an invisible guy who can jump from a three-storey high classroom window and survive. But that was different.
"Who?" I demanded.
His green eyes met mine and he answered. My eyes widened.
"Sorry, what did you say?"
