3. You Know I'm not one To Break Promises

   That next morning back at the hotel, Harper glared at me as I shook my head about joining the group for the day.

                Harper glared back at the teacher as she walked into the room.

                "McKenzie, are you sure that you too sick to join us today?"

                I looked back at her, "I think it's something I ate."

                "I understand, a girl in the other group is in the same spot." The teacher looked back at Harper. "Are you staying or joining us?"

                "I'm not gonna sit around when I can be out seeing everything." Harper stood up and went out of the room.

                The teacher turned back to me, "Make sure that if you are feeling better that you call someone and we will send for you."

                I smiled back at her as I pulled the covers back up.

                Harper shook her head as they went out of the room.

                I looked back at the door as it was shut.

                I got up as I went back into the bathroom wasting some time.

                I grabbed my bag and went out to the bedroom.

                I unlocked the door and looked down both halls as there was no one.

               

                At the museum, I walked back toward the exhibit when I saw Lucas standing by Solomon.

                "I thought I would catch you here." Lucas smiled back at me.

                "No one believes me or wants to understand." I looked back at him.

                "Sometimes it's a connection that people can't understand but maybe you should just walk around for the day. I have a tour to give." Lucas smiled as he walked away from me.

                "Why did you help me?"

                Lucas stopped.

                "Why did you tell me those things about Solomon and why did you lead me to the stone?"

                Lucas glanced back me, "You wanted answers and I gave them to you."

                "No, you have me more questions."

                Lucas turned back to me. "Don't yell at me for what you don't know or what you don't understand."

                "I asked you to make me understand why I'm so drawn to him."

                "I can't answer that."

                "You haven't answered anything Lucas."

                "I'm sorry McKenzie but I'm not allowed to answer it."

                I narrowed my eyes back at him as he took off back toward the steps.

                I started toward him when I stopped as the next group came up the steps and went toward the left.

                I looked back down the steps but stopped myself from making a scene.

                So I walked back over to the wall to read more about Solomon.
