Chapter 5: Dinner

Chapter 5: Dinner

Alex’s POV.

Mr. Sandoval and I just sat there for a few minutes, by the smell of it and my mom’s disappearance, I was pretty sure they were making dinner. A few conversation was made, just a small talk about the place, how I like it, the people, just that kind of stuff. I learned that they are actually night people, they interact more during night, its pretty weird, but of course I’m not going to say that in his face. I also found out more about their weather, because this place is located near Polar Regions, the sun visits here rarely, it’s pretty understandable.

“You’re going to love the school here, I’m pretty sure you’ll fit in just fine.” He said with a smile. OH, I doubt that, I never fit in.

“I hope so, I’m pretty..................different.” I said shifting my legs uncomfortably.

“Yes. Yes you are” He said. I just realized he was again looking at me, with............amazement? Like he was expecting that I will turn into a hulk or do something superpowery. (I know that’s not a word) 

I heard someone cleared their throat behind me. I immediately turned my head to realize it was Mrs. Sandoval, she was standing there with an apron and a spoon in her hand, smiling sweetly.

“Dinners ready you guys” She said walking forward.

I looked at Mr. Sandoval’s direction and he was already at his feet, a phone in his ear. He signed me and Mrs. Sandoval that he needs to talk to that person privately, he was doing something like this................then he hurriedly walked out of the room. It must be something really important.

“He’s always like that” Mrs. Sandoval said walking me to the dinner table.

“Oh! I want you to meet someone!” She squeaked making me jump in surprise. She must have noticed my state, so she gave me a small smile.

“Sorry dear, why don’t you meet him at the kitchen and while you’re at it, you can help him carry the appetizers, I’ll introduce you then” She continued, smiling sweetly, isn’t that hard? Smiling all the time oh! Maybe its permanent. Smile surgery! .................................Wow! Who’s weird now?  

I head to the directions Mrs. Sandoval instructed, in a few seconds I find myself in a beautiful kitchen. It was classic, a huge chandelier with some pretty old wood works. Huge wooden cabinets with breathtaking carvings. The whole place was lighted with reddish, few shades of brown, the colours itself was saying how old the place was. I walked slowly to the counter, feeling the smooth cold marble, touch my skin sending tingles all over my body, in a good way.

I was so mesmerized with the beauty of this place, that I forgot a butt sticking from the refrigerator. I just realize this ‘butt’ presence, when I accidently bumped on this ‘butt’. God, I should stop saying that word!

“Ah! What the f----------“My hand immediately flew to my mouth realizing my mom is one the other room. The b-----pointy thing, was on the floor, his head hidden from my view and he was groaning in pain. Oh, and it was right on my face!!!

I jumped up, putting a very appropriate distance between us. I leaned back at the counter, my hands grasping for anything I can use for defence. I finally got hold of a small butcher knife, facing it in front of me.

“Stay back! Who are you?! What are you doing here?!” I shouted, my hands with the knife shaking. I heard him scrambling on his feet then faced me, only to jerk back when he saw the knife in front of me.

“Woah! Put that down! What the hell?!” He said his hands up, trying to push the knife out of his direction.

I looked at him closely, he look familiar-----------------
