The Sun, the Moon, and a Prophecy

Chapter 7

How can Tommy be here? Why is he going by Andrew! I don't understand. Why is he going to school? I was still freaking out when I realized that my group had gathered around me.

"Hi I'm Andrew what's your name?" He smiled at me, and I almost forgot to breath.

"I'm Sylvia. Have I seen you before?" I knew that he wouldn't admit that I have in public, but I thought I would give it a try.

"I think I saw you in my old neighborhood back in England. You were my neighbor." He was still smiling, and was looking straight at me.

"I didn't know you came from England?" Megan raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah I thought my accent kind of gave that away." I didn't have a huge accent when I came here, but it was defiantly there.

"I guess I just never realized that." She looked a little embarrassed, and looked away.

"Can we please just pick an idea for our skit please?" Tanner gave us an annoyed look, and opened his textbook.

"I think we should do something that isn't in the textbook. Like an old tale that another country tells to its children. Like a tale that the old people swear is true, and the town thinks is just a made up tale." Megan looked extremely excited to have come up with this.

"Well there is one back in England that I have always thought was pretty cool," Tommy looked at me, "I think Sylvia knows the one that came from our hometown. It is a pretty good one."

"Oh you mean the one about the magical creatures, and how our town came to be?"

"Yeah I always thought that one was cool, but like I said it was a tale that I think they made up to get publicity. Though you never know if it's true or not," He smiled at me, "Do you want to tell them what it is?"

"Sure I love the story," I turned to the others, "They say that years ago people with magic lived in harmony with humans. Then, the humans started to get jealous, and decided to kill all magical creatures. Some of them got away, and made the village that me and Andrew lived in. Some people say that it's true, but others think that some crack head made it up. I don't believe in it, but it was still a story that I love to tell and hear."

Megan and Tanner's eyes were huge, and they nodded their heads.

"This seems like a great idea. I'll go run it by Ms. Green." Megan ran up to her desk.

"So when did you move here Andrew?" I looked at him quizzically.

"I got here a week ago, but I just found out that I'm moving again in a few days. My mom's job is moving her around a lot lately." He looked at me with the same look he used to give me that told me he was lying.

Tanner sighed, and walked away to his friends group.

I leaned in and whispered, "That's enough Tommy I know that it's you, and I want to know why you're here. Why are you out of hiding?"

Tommy sighed and whispered back, "Your mom told me to be careful around you. I will tell you later I swear. Meet me at the park where the portal is ok. I will explain everything."

Megan walked back then, grinning like a two year old on Christmas morning, "She loved the idea, and told us were good to go!" She gave us high fives, and called Tanner back over.
