Ch. 24 Those Awkward Moments

I was getting sick of pain.

I ran to the two, and took out the Magnemite in mid-air. I landed, and nodded at them.

"Hi." I was about to turn away when I saw something catch my eye. One teenager held a box with a label on it. On the label I saw a word.

Raker.

My last name.

"Uh, this might sound awkward, but what are your names?"

The male replied first. "John."

"Lily." The girl spoke up.

My mind drifted back to several years ago. My dad had e-mailed me for the first time since he had left us. I had been hopeful.

The e-mail only said that he was remarried. I hadn't cared about any of the rest of the e-mail at the time. Now, two names were important to me.
