"So what you're telling me is that you knew from the start, and you didn't feel like sharing?" Sammy yelled at Lorenzo.
Lorenzo was sitting in one of the recliners, twisting the ring on his finger with an apathetic, almost bored like, expression. "I was too lazy. Plus, I knew she was going to figure it out anyways."
Chris, Angela, Sammy, Elizabeth, Layla, Jasmine, and Anthony were with me in the living room of Anthony's apartment.
"We're lucky that so far she's baring the 6th sense and being able to see spirits as her powers so far because if it was telekinesis or pyrokinesis or something, we would've been screwed in that god damn IHOP!" Angela yelled at Lorenzo.
"If anything, I'm surprised Chris never picked up on it when he first met her. He wouldn't be able to read her mind."
"That's besides the point you fucking imbecile," Elizabeth added, "AJ was at risk of exposure because of it."
"The only way she would be a psychic is if one of her parents were a psychic, so why was she not informed about this?"
You read me when you first met me and you want to act innocent? Dumb cunt.
"Don't get mad at me for her parents lack of care for her."
"Hey!" I yelled, standing up from the recliner, "don't you try that bullshit! You didn't know shit about me until you read my memories! So why don't you fuck off with your bullshit!" Everyone stared at me and I quickly got nervous from putting myself out there so I sat back down, still breathing deeply. Shortly after, everyone started arguing and yelling once again to Lorenzo who only stared off with the same bored look on his face.
I was starting to get annoyed and felt a migraine kick in, so I went off into the kitchen, my to go plate still in my hand before I sat at the table and started eating the rest of the pancakes.
I heard a soft meow and saw Bell sitting next to the chair. I smiled and gently picked him up, placing him on my lap before I continued eating. He was sniffing my hair and I felt his fur brush against my chin.
I tilted my head down and kissed his head before I continued eating. He smelled like Dove soap.
"AJ?" I moved my head up, seeing Jasmine standing at the entrance to the kitchen. She had both our laptops in her hands and handed me mine. "I figured you would want to do your homework while you wait for them to stop their discussion."
I gave her a forced smile and thanked her as I opened my laptop and looked through my assignments and clicked on the one I had to complete. She sat across from me doing the same thing. I plugged my headphones into the laptop and played some opera on my laptop.
Things was, I completely spaced and all I could do was stare at the screen before eventually bullshitting my way through it until I couldn't even process what I wrote. That alone frustrated me to the point of yanking my headphones out and sighing in frustration as I massaged the bridge of my nose by my eyes.
Jasmine looked at me, concern written all over her face, and all I could do was shake my head.
"I'm here. Maybe not as often as my cousins, but I'm here, ok? I know we didn't tell you about us being Cucuy's, but just know that you have nothing to worry about. We care for you and have done nothing but make sure you're protected from any other supernaturals."
I nodded my head before I started scratching Bell's neck, avoiding eye contact. I heard my phone vibrating and picked it up, looking at the caller ID and I quickly scooted my chair back and grabbed my headphones, putting Bell down before I ran into the bathroom and locked it behind before I answered.
