Chapter 27

Hello Again

The next day, Micah and all of the other helpers came again. Ross was sitting close to me at the dining table, and i scooted away from him quickly when Micah walked through the door.

He didn't even look at me.

I felt sad, but in all fairness, if i was him, I'd actually be planning some evil comeback. But i knew Micah would never do that.

Right?

Just as Micah was about to walk out the door, his eyes darted to Ross, but he kept walking.

I blinked; it had been so quick. Maybe I'd just imagined it. I scooted a little closer to Ross, but not close enough so he could touch me.

I finished my French toast, then walked outside, my thoughts consuming me.

I could tell Ross's gaze was following me, and i heard his chair scrape as he pushed it back to follow me. Then i heard some whispering, and it sounded like Ross had sat back down.

Fine by me; it was his fault i was in all this mess... I just needed some time to think.

I saddled Greyson, then we set off at a trot towards where everyone was working.

"Why, Jordan?" i thought out loud. "Why are you going there?" but i didn't make Greyson turn around.

Once we arrived, i realized I'd never known what the helpers had all actually been for. Looking at them all sitting around laughing, i still had no clue.

Greyson stomped his foot and i cleared my throat loudly. Everyone turned to look at us.

I noticed Micah to the side, his smile still wide even when he turned to look at me.

I tried to smile, but failed so miserably i probably looked like i had just eaten a frog or something.

I cleared my throat again, willing myself to speak.

"Erm... I'm Jordan," i muttered. A roar of laughter surged through the little crowd and someone shouted, "Girly we KNOW!" i blushed, searching for James.

He was sitting off to the side, silently watching everything. Perfect -- he was in his quiet mood. Exactly what i needed. "James!" i called, motioning for him to come over to me. He slowly got up and walked meaningfully towards me.

I looked down at him. "Im finally taller than you."

"Just because you have a boost! Is that all you wanted to tell me?" he said in his quiet but firm way.

"No. I need--" i glanced at everyone watching us, my gaze lingering on Micah for a second. "I need to talk to you in private?"

Someone made a kissing noise, and anger bubbled up inside of me. "Whoever made that noise, shut the hell up!" i shouted, getting angrier by the second.

"She has a temper," someone whispered.

"Oh, like you wouldn't act like me if someone broke-- never mind!" i shouted, tears springing to my eyes.

James hopped onto Greyson, sitting behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist so that he wouldn't fall off. "Jordan... Let's go." he whispered.

I glared at everyone, then we set off at a canter.

When we finally reached somewhere where i thought no one would hear us, i pulled on Greyson's reins and tumbled off his back as soon as he skidded to a halt.
