When I run down stairs, and turn through the door, I run into a tall figure.
"Woah, watch it, " They say backing away and then doing a double take, probably realizing that I'm someone he doesn't know.
He must be Mariah's and Jacobs only son, what was his name? Fred? Probably not.
"You're Salene right?" He asks me.
"Uh yeah, call me Sail though." I answer.
"I'm Finn, and no I do not have a dog named Jake, it's short for something."
I laugh at his Adventure time reference.
"What is it short for?" I ask, and he just shrugs.
"No seriously what is it, you know my full name, why can't I know yours, is it like Findle or something?" I say looking at him.
"Findle? Really?" He ask me shaking his head laughing.
"It's the only thing I could think of okay!" I say in defence.
"Yeah okay, it's short for Finnick." He says wearily.
"Like from the Hun-"
"It's not from Hunger Games!" He cuts me off before I could finish.
I laugh, that's probably why he is embarrassed by it.
"Well I have to go upstairs so if you could move, and um I hope he enjoy it here or whatever." He says awkwardly

"I hope I do to Findle." I say moving out of the way heading towards the kitchen. I can just here him sigh with a laugh as he steps up the stairs.

When I get into the large kitchen the smell of pizza hits my nostrils.
"Hey I made pizza, just like the frozen kinds, is that alright?"
I nod my head eagerly, sitting down.
"Oh sweetie just help your self, there is milk in the fridge and the cups are in this cupboard. And your not allergic to anything right?"
I nod my head again grabbing a slice of pizza.
"Okay good, is there any foods you would particularly like, like for breakfast and lunch, snacks?"
Putting down my slice of pizza, I shrug my shoulders. "I'm not really picky at all, but I like.....poptarts."
"Okay sounds good we have poptarts already, Finn loves them-have you net Finn yet?"
"Yes I have, I ran into him like 5 minutes ago."
"Okay good, I'm gonna go to my office, it's down the hall." She says leaving the room leaving me alone with the pizza.

Back in my room, I continue to trace what I have draw so far on the wall, I'm pretty impressed with my self so far. I hear my door being opened and I turn around, still standing on the seat. Finn walks in my room, looking down on his phone.
"My mom says that you guys are goi-woah." He says looking up from his phone.
I hop down from my chair tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear and shrugging my shoulders.
"Do you like to draw or something?" He asks, and before in know it, he walks over to my desk and flips my sketch book open.
I quickly run over slamming it shut.
"What was that for? Those are pretty good."
I'm not that amazing at drawing, I can't do like really detailed drawings of people but I'm alright. But still not comfortable with sharing them.
"I'll show you sometime later," I lie "but you where saying something before." I change the conversation.
"Right." He squints his eyes at me. "My mom says you guys are gonna go shopping for school." And her leaves the room.
I completely forgot about school, today's Friday and it starts this Monday.
Crap.
I'm so not excited for school, I hate new schools and I'm like super lame so, yeah. It's sucks.
I grab my wallet and a black sweater.
I take my old converses out of the closet and slip them on.
Once I'm down stairs, Mariah smiled at me and we head into the car.
At the mall, we go to needed stores to get new binders and fancy stuff, I offer to pay for it and request that I only need a few things. But she denies me saying "oh no no, it's on me, your family, and school is important."
Sighing I give in, she just shops away, grabbing extra stuff for Finn while mumbling things like "he could use this, if he ever shows up to classes."

Next we go to a clothing store, turns out the clothes are for me. I deny it again, because I don't really need new clothes, and she doesn't need to spend money on me.
But she 'insists'. She has always wanted a daughter to go shopping with. And I guess it would be nice to have a mother to go shopping with once again. Even though it won't be the same.
As she picks out clothes for me, I cringe at the bright and tight shirts and float skirts. I never where those kind of clothes.
After a while if me rejecting all the material she shows me, I finally speak up.
"Um, Mrs. Allent, I mean Mariah, I'm not really into these kinds of clothes, I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry Sail, I wish you would have said something earlier, where is your kind of clothes?"
I sigh with relief, she's not mad.
After I shrug, again saying that I don't need anything, and can pay for it, as I lead her to a store that looked kind of cool. She just told me that she would love to by me new clothes and that I can't pay for it.
Ugh, nice people with lots a money.
Bringing her into the store, I see it's filled with band shirts and clothes and merchant from TV shows.
"You like this stuff huh?" She says looking around.
Picking up a Twenty Øne Piløts t shirt I hang it on my arm along with a black and white Guns and Roses tank top. I'm quit content with these two, and I take out my wallet but then it is quickly replaced with Mariah's debit card.
"I told you a got it." Shes says smiling.
I thank her a couple times until she asks me where to next.
I pick another store, I get a black and white flannel and a new grey sweater.
After that we leave the mall and head home.
