"I am staying with them again," Kai tells Asher.
He looks at her worriedly. "Are you sure it's a good idea?"
"Yes... I don't know how to explain it, but I feel so at home with them. It feels like they are actually my family,"
Asher smiles, "Kai that's great," He pulls her into a quick hug. "Kai you deserve the best family,"
Kai tears up, "Thank you, Asher,"
"It's the truth," He smiles sweetly.
"Would you come with me to my house again? I need to pack my stuff," Kai asks. She is honestly scared to go back alone.
"Yeah of course,"
"Thank you," Kai says. "Should we head back in there?"
He shrugs, "We did tell them we'd be right back,"
"Okay, let's go,"
The two walk back to the cafeteria slowly.
"Kai!" Gracelyn shouts as they come back.
She smiles at Asher and goes to sit in between Gracelyn and Amaria. Asher goes over to Angin and steals his food.
"Omg, you guys are so cute," Gracelyn whispers. Kai feels a blush creep into her cheeks.
"Tell us everything, have you told him," Amaria whispers.
Kai shakes her head. "No,"
"Girl you've gotta," Amaria says, "That boy is in love with you,"
Kai knows her face must be on fire.
"He's coming over to my house after school today,"
"Eeeee omg tell him then," Gracelyn whispers. "That will be perfect,"
Kai feels bad because that isn't why he's coming over, but she can't tell them that.
"Yes you have to," Amaria says. "I'm going to hold you to it,"
Kai rolls her eyes, "Whatever,"
Kai and Asher walk over to the twins. Kai looks around to make sure none of their friends are around. They aren't.
"Tam Linh," Kai says. The two whip around.
They are standing with Biana Vacker and Dex Dizznee.
"I need to go home to pack a bag, then I'll come to your place," Kai says quietly.
Linh nods.
"Wait, can we come?" Tam asks gesturing to the group of them.
"To my house?" Kai asks confused.
"Yes, we want to see if the Neverseen left anything that we could find,"
Kai hesitates, and Dex seems to notice.
"We won't do anything you don't want us to do," he says.
Kai smiles, "Okay, yeah that's fine then,"
Asher is holding her home crystal, so he grabs her hand and Linh grabs her other hand.
"Woah your house is beautiful," Biana says as they appear in the front gardens.
"Thanks," Kai says, "The garden is the gnomes' pride and joy,"
Linh giggles, "That makes sense, it's amazing,"
Kai leads them up to the door, which is open slightly.
"Huh, Eden must have left the door open," Kai says. But really she's worried. She feels her breath pick up. "Eden is our ancient gnome, sometimes she forgets to do simple things,"
