Running

Chapter Three

*Tobin's Point Of View*

"Okay, kiddo." Hope said as she stood up. Then walking back into the bathroom.

I looked at the shirt Perry has on. I quickly knew it was Abby's red shirt. But I'm not too sure who the owner of the jeans are. "Whose clothing is that?"

"Abby's shirt and the rest is Sydney's." Perry answered tugging on the shirt a little. "Anyways, I need to get to know you."

I nodded laughing a little. "Okay, what do you want to know first?"

"Oh, what is your favorite color?"

"It has to be orange." I answered.

A smirk appeared on Perry's face. I couldn't help but find it amusing. "Like the sunset or Effie's hair?" she asked.

"Either is fine with me." I said, messing with the rips in my jeans. Honestly, I'm glad that I'm in ripped jeans today. They make feel way more freedom than with regular jeans. And sometimes I purposely rip the regular jeans that people by me.

"Any other nicknames besides Toby and Tobs?" The teen asked. She shifted on the bed, finding the perfect spot.

"This is actually a pretty accurate nickname." I said, deciding to cross my legs. "They sometimes call me Hobin Teath because I smile a lot."

Perry nodded, "It suites you."

"Thanks," I said.

"Um, favorite food?"

"Oh, that's hard." Holy crap can I answer this question? I thought looking down at my feet. Once I decided on my answer I looked up at Perry once more. "I can go for a good burger. So, burgers."

Perry laughed and began messing with Abby's shirt. The bathroom door opened once more and Hope walked out "I'll be in the shopping center on the first floor. Call or come get me if you need me." The keeper said. "Bye Perry," She gave the girl a gentle hug.

"Bye Hope." The teen said hugging her back.

Once Hope left I returned to talking with the girl. "Are you ever going to call her mom?"

Perry shrugged, "Probably not."

*Hope's Point Of View*

As I walked down the hall I pulled out my phone. Surprisingly no one was on the group chat. So I decided to as

The Group Chat

SydTheKid- I'll go

Klingy- Hey!

SydTheKid- I guess I'll watch Pinoe and Kling.

PinoeM- Hey, I'm older than you.

SydTheKid- I'm more mature than you.

PinoeM- Touche

I placed my phone in my back pocket as I saw them walk down the hall. Megan was in the front. "We have arrived!" She said smiling, then pushing the elevator button.
