The Girl From England (Working Title)

Chapter 6: A New Friend

As Molly and Bellamin left Mary and Troy came running in and I opened the door for them and only Mary went inside to see Adoward. Troy stayed outside of the office because he saw me just sitting against the wall looking worried but also excited. I felt him sit next to me and put his arms around my shoulders. He looked at me and I felt his eyes on me as he said, "What happened to Adoward?".

I looked up and saw concern in his eyes. When he said Adoward's name I felt myself go back to the center of the circle where Darrell had beat him up over something stupid. Troy asked me again like three times before I heard him for the fourth time. I looked at him and he realized that he had pulled me out of my thoughts. Then I looked at the wall across from us as I retold what I had saw happened to Adoward. When I was finished he pulled me to his chest and just held me there. Then I realized why he did that. I was crying because of what had happened to Adoward. Soon Adoward came out of the nurse's office and I stood up and pulled him into a hug and cried into his shoulder. I felt his arms wrap around me as he tried to comfort me. Then after about ten minutes, we went to the car and we all saw the clock. It was 5:30 pm. So Troy brought us to McDonald's for dinner. Adoward's mouth hurt so much that Troy got him a vanilla sundae and a Hot Chocolate. Then we went home and Alivyre and I helped Adoward up the stairs and to his room. The three of us sat in his room and just talked the night away and about three am the three of us were just out and Troy came in to tell us to go to bed but when he came into Adoward's room he saw all three of us asleep. He wasn't looking at Alivyre but he was looking at Adoward and me because Adoward was holding me tightly in his arms and I was cuddled up to his chest.

Troy was about to leave the room When he heard Alivyre ask, "Do you want me to wake them up and have Makaylae come with me back to our room? Or just leave them?"

Troy replied "Just leave them" and the two of them walked back to our room and Troy tucked Alivyre into bed before returning to his own.

The next day Adoward woke up and saw that I was in his arms and that I was resting my head on his chest. He didn't want to wake me up but he knew that he had to. So he shook me very gently and I stirred but did not wake. Then Mary came in and she saw the two of us and she got so mad that it wasn't even funny and she yelled so loud that Troy came running up the stairs and threw his hand over her mouth but he saw that he was too late because both me and Adoward were awake and had very frightened looks on our faces. Troy told me to go get dressed and Adoward to get in the shower. We both left the room without a single word.

When we got to school Molly came up to me and asked, "So are you going to be my friend or no?"

I looked at her and said straight to her face, "Yes".
