07 : the connection

                                  ꨄ

The next day at dinner I was sitting with Juniper and Miss Thompson who had done the dinner. I had heard that Mr. Windfeild would come on Friday and then go away again on Saturday at lunch. I had so many questions but I didn't plan to relive my intention because I can't trust him. What if he is along with all that happened? I can't. I can't see him as the villain or the bad person in the story but you can't just count him out.
Minutes later when Miss Thompson told me and Juniper about Mr. Windfeild's arrival, Colin came down and the atmosphere was changing. Too happy, good mood and a nice time, to be cold and be on your watch, like always with him in the room. Everyone become uncomfortable when he showed up. This is one of the reasons I need questions, about how everything changes around him. Grown-ups is like they are terrified of him or need to watch their back. Maybe it was one of the reasons Mr. Windfeild always was away, to try as much he could fly away.

We ate in silence and this time Colin didn't look at me as he always did. He looked down and ate his food like he didn't want anything with anyone for the moment. It was like he wanted to be alone because he was annoyed by everyone like a typical teenager without any special reason. It was like he was trying to shut out someone.
Juniper gave me a look, in the beginning, I didn't know what she meant but then I understood that she warned me, about something. I was confused.
Rest of the dinner we ate in silence.

The whole day he was avoiding me. No comments, no strange behavior towards me or in general, no creepy actions. He was just in his room, but when I walked from my room or to my room I could hear loud music from his room. However, I was hanging with Juniper a little.
I drew with her for an hour, the rest of the evening I talked to Adam. It was a horrible network in this house, the best place to talk was in the living room.
Suddenly when I and Adam were talking it became signal breaks, as it used to in this house.
" Hold on Adam, I need to go to the living room. It is a better signal" I said and walked downstairs to talk to him.

Outside it was raining a lot. You could hear the drops touch the windows. I was sitting in the living room and talked in a low voice. Ms. Thompson had to go to bed and so had Juniper. I didn't know if Colin was sleeping, I didn't care as long he didn't scare the shit out of me or was weird towards me, in an intimidating way.
I and Adam talked a lot, about everything. From boys, deepest secrets, go on the deep stuff, what we like to do. We both like to read and look at movies so we decided to look together and also do the Hunger Games marathon there you look at all the movies on the road and eat at them that have something to do with the movie.

Later we hung up, it was night and we were going to school in a few hours. I was walking upstairs when I heard a noise. I froze for a second of fear but then I had the urge to find out what it was. This was a typical act of humans, to be dragged to stuff they shouldn't be. Like in horror movies when someone hears some sound and needs to go and check. I knew at that time that it's stupid to go to a sound as you shouldn't, like in horror movies. I knew all of those things but still, I walked there. Which was a stupid thing to do.
