Chapter Three: See you later

I was doing my homework on my floor in my room with Wentz eating Twizzlers when Mary called me.

"I'll be right back." I then went downstairs and saw Mary with a thirteen year old girl. "Yes?" I asked Mary.

"Oh, never mind." I then went upstairs and Wentz gave me a weird look.

"That was weird." I said shoving another Twizzler in my mouth. Wentz stopped writing and took a Twizzler too but asked me "Whag was weird?"

"Mary called me but then she didn't need me."

"Yeah that's weird, Mary us-" had was cut off by my door slamming open by Jackson.

"Yes?" I asked him.

He then came up to us and took the Twizzlers and just left. What a jerk.

"What a jerk." I muttered.

"He's just jealous." Wentz said.

"Why would he be jealous?"

"Because normally he's the center of attention and now that your here and Chase and I are trying to be nice to you and become friends he feels jealous." Wentz explained. That explains his behavior towards me.

He then looked at this phone. His wallpaper was him and some older woman cuddling. He quickly turned it off. "Well I got to go."

"Bye."

"See you later."

I feel like my new friends so far are hiding something from me. Ugh boys.

------------------------------------------

"Vanessa! Boys! Dinner time!" Mary yelled through the house. As I got to my door I heard a tumble on the stairs, it literally sounded like thunder and a stampede collided.

When I got to the dining room it was huge. The glass table was so long with millions of dollars of chairs. And almost all the chairs were full of people. Specifically boys.

Probably ranging from ages of six to twenty five. "Come sit Vanessa. While I get the food you can meet the boys.

She then went into the kitchen leaving us in silence. Then an boy is his twenties spoke up. "I'm Adam, I'm the oldest, and I'm twenty six." Then another boy went.

"I'm Ethan, I'm twenty three, and soon to be doctor." Then another.

"I'm Declan. I'm also twenty three. And I'm a soon to be pharmacist."
Then it got to Jackson.

"I already met you." 

"I'm John and 16." Then it got to a younger boy.

"I'm thirteen and the best one. Oh and my name is Cameron."

"I'm ten, and the name is Keith." Then it got to the youngest boy.

"Hi! I'm six and I'm Jake!" That kid made me smile.

Then on que Mary came in with a cart filled with millions of food. She placed all the dishes on the table then we all took some. I bit into the turkey and it tasted better than delicious.

"Wow, this is really good Mary." I said digging in. She beamed at me.

"Well thank you Vanessa. And how are you adjusting here."

"It's ok." She looked confused.

"Ok? What's wrong?"

"Well there's this jerk named Jackson." I said taking a bite of the pasta, which tasted better.

"Well ok then, do you miss your old friends?" She asked changing the subject but glaring at Jackson.

"Yeah." I said a little sadness in my voice.

"Why don't you have them over tomorrow." Jackson and Cameron spit there milk out, it looked as though they were acting.

"What!"

"You're letting a bunch of criminals in the house!"

"Hey! Just because I have a rough background that doesn't mean I can't have friends! And they're not criminals!" I yelled at them.

"Says the girl who's been to Juvy seven times!" Jackson yelled.

"Enough!" Mary yelled over everyone.

"Dinner is over. Go to your rooms and Adam, Declan, and Ethan have a wonderful ride back to the university." I ran away from the table and went into my room to cry.

That was my first dinner and encounter with the Hempy family.
