So we got our lunch and found a table where all 6 of us could sit. I sat between Calum and Brook. We talked about random things until one question was directed to me from Ashton, "So Mallory, why did you move to Australia?" He asked while smiling showing off his dimples. He was really sweet and loud and cute.
Should I tell them the truth? Of course I should. I'm just scared of the way they are going to react.
"Well, my mom died about a year and a half ago and me and my dad still lived in the U.S. But then my dad found a woman here named Melanie, and he decided that we move out here. So, yeah." I spoke.
The table fell silent until Michael coughed and changed the subject. Ashton kept staring at me. I don't know why? They were gonna find out about it sooner or later. Ill have to talk to him about it later..
"So guys, guess what?" Luke said excitedly with a smile on his face. "Mallory has all of her classes with all of us boys. Well except Science. So we are going to hang out with her all day every day! He said the last part like a rapper. He's such a funny weirdo.
"Yay!" "That's so cool!" "Welcome to the club!!" Was the boys responce. I just laughed at how the responded. Maybe I will have friends after all? I turned to Brook and Luke, "So, How long have you guys been dating?" I hope that didn't come out the wrong way. "Nine months." Brook said as she kissed Luke on the nose.
"You could have a baby in that time!" Calum laughed, everyone else at the table cracked up laughing so hard a few of us cried. About ten minutes later, Lunch was over and we had to go back to our classes. Since I had all of them with the boys, I walked with them and Brook. The next class we had was reading.
I sat next to Ashton and Calum in reading with Michael, Luke And Brook across the room. I still need to ask Ashton why he kept staring at me at lunch. I tore a piece of notebook paper and scribbled down a note. (M For Mallory, A for Ashton)
M: Hey Ashton, Can I ask you something?(: I slid the note over to him so Ms.Taylor couldn't see.
A: Yeah, Ask away:) He slid it back.
M: Why were you staring at me all through lunch period..? I slid it back slowly
A: Umm, Because I felt bad for you losing your mom. I couldn't imagine being in your place. I'm so sorry about you losing your mom. Maybe once we get to know eachother better you tell us more about what happened, only if you want to..
M: Oh, Okay thanks for telling me the truth.. I totally ignored the whole thing about telling them about my mom. None of my friends even from back home knew the whole story except for my best friend Callie.
A: Yup.
I took the note and crumpled it up and tossed it into the trashcan. I don't know how, or when I will tell my friends. I sure hope it goes okay..
