Friends?

Here's the next part. It surprised me with where it's going, which is incredibly slowly by the way. Sorry. Thanks for sticking with it and for all your lovely comments, hope you can stay awake to reach the end. :)

Part Fifteen

Sang's POV

I knew what I wanted. For the first time in my life I knew exactly what I wanted and it wasn't this.

I had waited all week for this day. The week had passed quickly enough. Dr Green had been called in to the hospital each night so far this week and I had been unable to go back to his place for dinner. I was missing them. I was seeing him and Mr Blackbourne every study period for the H.E.P classes and but it wasn't the same. Since that first class, the subjects had moved on to emotional well being and relationships. There had been less for the other kids to get crude about. Mr Blackbourne was still there every time with Dr Green, but it wasn't the same as being able to talk with them when it was just the three of us.

Dr Green had sent me a text telling me that Sunday, both he and Mr Blackbourne were free, and that we were all going to be spending the day together. There was to be a quick family meeting tonight back at Victor's to decide what we were going to do before Dr Green had to nip back to the hospital again. He was looking tired, but I knew that he was sleeping in the nurses office while Mr Blackbourne held the fort down.

I had watched Tiffany closely in classes but she hadn't openly flirted with Dr Green again and I wondered if she'd got the message. I was also seeing more of Tim wherever I went. But he had stopped sending me notes and he made no move to talk to me, he just watched me. I didn't say anything to the others, it seemed pointless, there was nothing they could do to stop him from watching me. I briefly wondered if Mr Hendricks was getting him to watch me. If he was, there was nothing I could do about it, except ignore it.

I was excited for tomorrow, a whole day with the boys. Each evening so far, we'd all gone to Kota's, done our homework and then two of them would go home with me and we'd played games or watch a movie and then head up to bed. I was seeing most of them and I was content, but I wanted to see what would happen if I kissed one of them. But I was never alone with just one to find out; even now, shopping with them, there was always two or three of them around me. I pushed it to the back of my mind and concentrated on what I had just put on.

It was a witch's outfit, the skirt was short with a spiky hem, the bodice was tight and sparkly. It had long sleeves in black that matched the skirt. I didn't feel like a witch at all.

I opened the dressing room curtain and saw Gabriel and Luke stood to one side talking quietly. Kota was sat on one of the seats, his long legs stretched out and crossed at the ankle as he played on his phone.

"That's the one, Trouble!" Gabriel beamed at me. If he was happy, then I could be happy. I stepped out of the changing room and looked around for Victor, but I couldn't see him anywhere.

Kota looked up, pushing his glasses up his nose and nodded.

"I like it," he murmured.

"Take it off and we'll go find Victor," Gabriel ordered and I turned around and went back into the changing room.

I took it off and dressed quickly. I hung it back up on its hanger and studied it. It was ok, it just wasn't what I had envisaged; but Gabriel knew his stuff. I took a look at the tag and blanched, it was expensive for something I wouldn't wear again till next year.

"Hey, you finished yet?" Victor poked his head around the curtain "Gabe says we have the one."

I looked at him and smiled. He frowned, came into the cubicle and closed the curtain behind him.
