She (THEY 1/3) completed

Chapter 4

After Hanna jumped of the roof, I found my friends and told them. They weren't angry at me, they were just sad that she jumped. Well, not exactly sad, they were crying.

But eventually, everything stopped. I felt like time suddenly stopped, as I was laying in my bed watching ceilings.

I felt like I was dreaming. Like this was just a fucked up nightmare, but it wasn't. This was my reality, and I needed to accept it. Even with Hanna dead.

The principal knew that I will be the most upset. Because I always cared too much, when I opened up. And I hated myself for that. I hated myself for caring too much, in the wrong time.

So, the principal thought that the family could take me to their home faster. That means, we are now meeting every day, in the evening, before I could go to sleep.

If I even did sleep.

On those meetings, i keep up my normal attitude, not showing them my real emotions. Anyway, they didn't even care that much.

-"What's you're favorite ice cream favor, then?" Neil asked, probably forgetting I was here since I was five.

-"I don't have one." I said. "I don't remember how they even taste."

-"Then you will definitely need to try some."

I smiled calmly, but i wasn't really paying any attention to him. If they adopt me, will I need to go to school again? What if someone will get suspicious that I'm not normal?

They will only know I'm not normal if I'm gonna use my powers in front of them. It's not like I can't hide them. I know how to keep calm when everyone else is mad. That's why I think I'll do fine.

-"Earth to Simone! We're you even listening?" Neil laughed while Regina just smiled warm smile.

I smiled apologetically at them. This time Neil dad wasn't here. -"Sorry, what did you said?"

-"I was say-" We were interrupted with the principal coming in. Neil and Regina get up from their seats and leaves. I am now alone with the principal in the guest room, still sitting in my spot. Only now I change into more comfortable position.

-"You're doing amazing job. Maybe they'll agree." I let my mask fall. I didn't have to pretend with her, she already knew me.

Maybe they'll agree? And what if they don't?

-"Don't worry," she said, sitting where they were sitting before. -"I'm sure they'll agree taking you. Keep up your good attitude and you'll do fine."

I sigh getting up. -"Kay, bye then."

In silence I made my way to my room who I shared with one another girl, who luckily wasn't here now. I'm an introvert, but I'm doing good job masking it.

Basically, fake it till make it.

If only I knew how to feel normal. I am acting pretty fine, usually I'm practicing with my friends. We always play games like these to bring up our skills. We want to be prepared when we'll be out of this house. Some of us earlier, some later.

But we'll get out. Except Hanna.

Oh, stop thinking about her. She's dead.

She's not coming back.

I feel tears slowly sliding down my skin. Last time I cried when my parents died.

I heard a knock on my door, but when I didn't answer, someone came in. -"Are you okay?"

Or, a lot of someone's.

-"Guys, what do you want?" I turned my face to the wall. I didn't waned to see them now, I was still feeling guilty.

-"Sim, we want to help you. It was more traumatizing to you then it was to us." Damien sat down on my bed, while Brian, Luke and Taller was on others girl's bed.

-"I'm fine. I'm not gonna jump too, if that's what you're asking." Damien sighs.

-"Lets go do something fun, since it's possible that you're gonna go away." Brian said, desperately trying to get me up.

I didn't answer. I wasn't in my mood to do a least some-

-"I heard that there's gonna be chocolate cake for dinner, so get your hot ass up and let's go."

I immediately sat up, mostly because I love food. And I really love chocolate cakes.

-"Is that so? Or you just wanna get me out of bed?" I scanned their faces for any evidence that they're lying, but I couldn't find any, since we all were pretty good actors.

Another thing we learned together. We also learned how to detect a lie, but that wasn't as easy as lying itself.

-"Get your hot ass up, I'm not lying!" Briana almost pulled me out of my bed, but soon I followed her.

-"Bri, let me go, you know I love chocolate cakes, I can walk by myself."

She chuckled and slowly released my arm.

Soon Taller came aside me and placed his hand on my shoulders. That was old habit of his, he always did that to me, even if we weren't together.

-"Look, best couple of the year, Sim and Taller!" Damian always liked to tease me.

-"Yeah, guys, you should at least kiss as goodbye!" Well, not only he, Luke too.

I chuckled and glanced at Damien. -"Or, Dam, you could kiss Bri, as my goodbye present."

-"That's not fair, Sim!" I stuck out my tongue at Damien while Taller started laughing. Damien was already started to blush, then he started laughing too.

And like that, we all laughing came into cafeteria. And they weren't lying. There was chocolate cake. I immediately run to the long row, taking my spot. My friends are a bit slower, so there formed a row behind me, but they, as rude they are, came into row besides me.

Damien smirked at the girl who stranded behind me, as she moved to let all of us inside the row. -"I will kill all of you, if there wouldn't be left any cake for me. You know it very well." I announced, to make sure they understand.

-"Sure, sure, Sim," Taller said. -"Who's then gonna help you survive in here? That's right, me."

-"Don't flatter yourself, I probably could do it. Okay, maybe I would keep you alive, but all others would be dead."

-"Sure, Sim, you're so in love with me, can't even kill me."

And another laughter wave.

I hope we will never lose contact with each other, even when we're out if here. I loved them too much to just let go.

-"And a big slice of cake for you, Sim, and a smaller one to you, Taller." Taller pouted while I thanked Elise, our cook. She always made meals for us, and since I liked to help her a lot, she knew I loved food. Especially sweets.

I made my way to our table and sat down, watching others with smirk, as they got smaller slices than me. Being here wasn't even that bad, except, oh right, Hanna.
