The New Kid

Chapter 6: The New Secret

I wake up and see that Michael's gone. I check his room and he's not there either. I start to worry but then I hear people talking downstairs. There is two voices. One belongs to Michael the other belongs to...Sam? 'What is he doing here?'

I listen into their conversation, "...she can't know about this if not she won't want to stay here." Sam says.

"Ok. I understand. Let me see the contract." Michael says. I hear something drag against the surface. 'Must be the contract. Whatever that means.'

"Now that you have read it you know what you can and can't do. If I find out that you break any of these rules you know the cost."

"Yeah, yeah. I get soaked in wolf's bane for a whole week straight with no meals. I can handle myself."

"I beg to differ. Especially on what happened yesterday. Do that one more time and I will..."

"Calm down you big dope. I'll control him. Jeez you would think after all this time we've been best friends you would learn to trust me."

"I do its just that if something happens to... wait do you smell that?" I hear Sam say and then I hear sniffing. 'Uh. I'm retarded they can smell me. I have to go.'

I quietly and quickly go to my room and leave the door open so I can hear if they're coming. I get into bed and hear someone coming up the stairs. I pretend to be asleep. Someone opens the door and then I can hear footsteps come closer to me.

"Aubrey. You awake?" It was Sam he was lightly shaking my shoulder.

"No." I say trying my best to sound tired. I stretched and yawned too.

"It's time to wake up its 9:30." He says as if it's really late.

"Are you crazy? You're acting as if it's really late but thanks anyway." I say. My stomach rumbles.

"Let's go downstairs Michael's supposed to be making breakfast. But sometimes he slacks off. Oh and by the way he's leaving to go do some business so I'm going to be taking care of you." Sam says with a smile on his face.

"I can take care of myself. I mean I already got past you and Michael twice." I smirk sitting up on my bed.

"Still he doesn't want you to be alone. And you just got past us because you caught us off guard." His face turning red.

"Whatever. I just want to eat. There have better be bacon by the way. If not I'm going to kill you and Michael" I say heading toward the door. We head downstairs and the smell of waffles fills my nose. I sigh when I finally make it to the kitchen and see a big plate full of bacon. My arm immediately goes for the plate and gets a few strips. I put one in my mouth and almost die. Not literally of course but it tasted like heaven. I moan.

"Someone's hungry." I hear Michael say with an amused smile on his face. He puts a plate of waffles baked to perfection in front of me.

"Did you do this?" I say once I'm done with my second strip of bacon.

"No shit Sherlock." He says with a 'duh' tone.

I glare at him wanting to say something but I can't think when I'm eating so I don't say anything. While I'm eating I think and a idea comes to me.

"Guys," I say once I'm done eating. "I am catholic and because I need Jesus in my life I am going to church." I put my empty plate in the sink and go to my room. I change into a nice outfit for church. I put on some navy blue skinny jeans and light brown boots that go up to my knees. I wear a white shirt and necklace with a gold cross. I get a black bag and put my dead phone and other needs in it. Then I remember that I don't have my car it's at the school parking lot. 'I'll take the bus and go get it. I have enough money' I think looking into my wallet.
