Shit. What was my social worker doing here?

"Mili!? Come out from behind there, I can see your backpack."

Aww...man.

"Oh hi ms. Laura. What are you doing here?"

"You know Mili if you keep skipping your group sessions, then they keep adding up. They just don't disappear."

"What?! Seriously!...aww"

"Yes. You have to go to the one your counselor is hosting tonight or you will have to start all over."

"Fine. I'll be there."

"Listen mili you have to try harder if you don't want to move again," she said as she got in her car.

"Okay," I said.

I threw my backpack on the floor and layed on my bed. I wonder what Duke was doing? And if he was still going to figure this thing was. It angered me to think about everything that was happening. Why did it always have to be me, why couldn't I just be invisible? Live a normal life. Not be known as the new girl, the foster child, the psycho girl?

"Mili come down here." I heard my foster mom, kara scream from downstairs.

"Coming," I responded.

I don't know why she would skip class I heard Kara say on the phone. Shit I forgot about that. I had no excuse planned out. I started to run back upstairs.

"Mili why did you skip class?" I heard kara say from the bottom of the stairway.

"I...uh...I needed to go to the library because I, because I had forgotten a book the teacher said you needed to have the first day of school." I stuttered.

"Oh...ok." kara said. "Dinners at 7."

"Ok," as I ran upstairs.

I closed my door and started playing some music on my computer. I walked over to my closet and started looking through some boxes and papers from the bottom of my closet. There it was, my kindergarten yearbook, I flipped through it and there it was. Dukes name with a small paragraph. I couldn't even read it. It was so badly written. 

I closed it to read the name of the school but it had been scribbled out.

I gave up trying to take off the marker and crayon scribbles and threw myself on my bed.

__"Duke, where are we going?"

"We have to hurry, they're coming!"

A shadow was growing in front of the corner we were about to cross. We stopped and could hear the voices and foot steps from behind us growing louder. We hugged. When we both saw the vent at the end of the long hallway. We ran to take off the tap of it and hurried to squish ourselves in it. I could see boots pass by and what seemed like long coats

"We have to find them before they do hurry!" I heard__

"Mili...Mili!" I heard faintly in the distance. I woke up and stood up. What the heck was that I thought.

"Mili its time for your group session!" I heard kara scream.

"Coming!"

We arrived at Bines Psychiatric center.

"I'll pick you up at seven." Kara said.

"Ok."

"Try to behave." She said as I got out of the car.

I entered room 102 and there was chairs in a circle, great I was the first one there. I heard the door open as I sat down I turned my head. Fuck! IT was Duke! Of course.
