Ø  Thursday 5:00 pm-Baci Drove/Lookout Point

Tay and Vinn arrived at the lookout point, where they saw Brenna walking around in circles and Shawna holding an ice pack to her face.  Before the boys could get there they saw Brenna mumbling to Shawna about something, and Shawna nodding and grumbling from a headache.

The lookout point is a ledge that is shelf like that sticks out of a cliff looking over the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa. You can also see the ocean on the left side of Cape Town. The view from this beautiful shelf like ledge is so breath taking. Not very many people go up there, because not very many people know how to get up there or are brave enough to take on the challenge to get to the rock.

“Oh baby, what the hell happened?! Who’s ass am I kicking?” asked Vinn, who rushed over toward Shawna with his arms extended.  Even though he was fuming he held himself together, not wanting to worry Shawna more by losing it.

“Jonny punched me in the face and knocked me out, believe me the boy is going to have hell to pay when I get a hold of him,” said Shawna really pissed still holding the ice pack to her eye. Shawna leaned into Vinn’s arms and they just sat there while he held her. Shawna didn’t want to let go of Vinn; she felt comfortable, loved, and safe in his arms. Shawna questioned herself on why this could’ve happened, if she was only a little faster, how could Jonny actually do that to her?

“Bunny, don’t worry about it there is nothing either of us could have done, it was either he was going to fight us off or he was going to turn and rip us to shreds,” Brenna said like she could read Shawna’s thoughts. “I think we got a fair trade on that one.”  She had tried to break tensions with a joke but it didn’t go over well.

Vinn reached up toward Shawna's face that was still on his shoulder; he looked into her beautiful green eyes and leaned in like he was going to kiss her. Shawna was preparing for the kiss when Vinn said, “I have something to tell you Pookie.”

Shawna opened her eyes, stunned, “Pookie? Really? It must be serious if you can only come up with Pookie.”

“It’s pretty serious Shawn,” Tay and Brenna chimed in together, as they walked in closer to the couple.

“Ok, now I am getting scared. What’s going on?” Shawna looked at Brenna, then Tay, and finally at Vinn.

“There is no need to beat around the bush now,” Vinn said with a sigh stuck in his throat, as he coughed. “I almost changed when Tay and I were in Mrs. Peterson’s classroom,” his voice was quick and rushed.

“You WHAT?” Shawna almost jumped away from Vinn, but Vinn still had his hands on hers and he clenched onto them tighter so she couldn’t stand up.

“Lillian and Parker were there in Mrs. Peterson’s classroom when we showed up to talk to her,” Tay chimed in as he and Brenna sat down a few feet away from the couple. “Then Lillian and Parker were calling us a “hussy gang” and you know Vinn, he got pissed and started to change…”

“Oh and who are Lillian and Parker?” asked Brenna looking from Vinn to Tay.

Tay answered, “They are the weird girl’s cousins. You know, the one that Jonny seems to be totally hooked up on. Now back to the story.”

“Then Tay started to act like you, Shawna.” Vinn interrupted Tay as he looked at Shawna.

Shawna looked up at him with curiosity, “What do you mean he started to act like me?”

“He was talking to me in a soothing voice, and trying to calm me down.”

“I have seen you do it so many times Shawna, and you weren’t around and we couldn’t deal with moving again, and with people finding out what we are.” Tay put his head down in disbelief because he thought he did a bad thing.
