"What h-happened?" I whispered to myself as I woke up in an unfamiliar red tent.
I was still cold, but nowhere near as freezing as I was last night.
I checked my watch, wondering if it's even been a night.
8:50, I assumed it was 8:50 am, since I could see a little bit of sunlight through the tents thin fabric.
"I can't believe you never told me!" I heard an angry voice from outside the tent.
I quickly recognized the voice as the boy from last night.
"I thought I could trust you!" The boy yelled again.
Who is he talking to?
"Yeah ok..." the boy said sarcastically.
Maybe he's talking on a phone?
That's probably it.
He was silent for a couple minutes before he spoke again, his voice softer and less angry.
"Just don't come back for a while then." He said.
I tired to listen to the rest of the conversation, but he stopped talking.
Probably hung up...
I looked at my watch again and read 8:55.
The tent started to unzip from the outside and I jumped a little.
My eyes locked with the blond boy from last night.
"Feeling better kid?" He asked me.
"My name is Ella." I confidently lied, my dark blue eyes never leaving his light brown ones.
He wasn't the most handsome guy in the world or anything, but he was definitely attractive.
"Ok then." He said with a small smile.
"Where's my backpack?" I asked him.
"Chill, I have it." The boy said to me.
I looked outside and noticed that It wasn't raining anymore.
The air had that "It just rained smell" if you know what I mean.
"Do the clothes fit ok?" He asked me.
"Huh?" I looked down, suddenly feeling self conscious.
I WAS WEARING DIFFERENT CLOTHES!!!
My eyes went wide and I glared at the blond boy.
"Hey! You should be thanking me. You could've gotten hypothermia!"
I was currently wearing an orange sweatshirt and black sweatpants
Ugh...
Orange.
Well, beggars can't be choosers!
Though I didn't beg...
"I'm waiting." The boy said in a singsong voice.
"What for?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"For saving your life?" The boy joked, putting a hand over his heart and pretending to be hurt.
"Hah hah." I sarcastically laughed at his ridiculous gesture.
"I'm Luke by the way." He told me with a smile.
"Well Luke, why am I in a tent?" I asked him curiously.
"You see kid-"
"Ella." I lied.
"Ella, you are in a tent because I too, am homeless." Luke said, over-exaggerating his sadness.
"For how long?" I asked.
