Right after my embarrassing situation in the coffee shop, Ms. Anne hailed a cab along the road...she pushed me towards the passenger seat and seated herself at the back seat...
"Um, the Cavalry street pls., the residence of the Adams." she told the driver
The driver is in his mid-forties, longish brown hair and with stubble. It’s only now that I realized that he seems to be attracted to Ms. Anne because he kept looking at her in the mirror...
"You heard me, right?" she asked
"Yeah, I heard you right and clear." He said with amusement laced in his eyes. He must have sensed my stare because he turned towards me and asked
"What're you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all." I lied...
As I was looking at the window, I realized that I really miss my family, my parents and my lovely pooch, Bee....I sighed for the 20th time this day. The trip to the place must have lasted a long time because soon enough I was awaken to the shaking of my shoulders. It was Ms. Anne, regret soon forming on her face like she did something wrong to me.
"It's okay, ms. I could just sleep later, you know." I told her
Then a second later, a grin was plastered on her face...
"Come on, they're excited to see you." she told me as I got off the cab
Ms. Anne fumbled through his purse and gave out 30 dollars and handed it to the driver...
"Keep the change" she shouted over her shoulder as she slung a shoulder around mine while we were walking along the street.
Then a feeling I never thought I'd feel washed upon me-the dread
What if they won't like me and they’ll start to change their minds and put me back under Ms. Anne's care? I mean I won't care but I've always been rejected before and this time I want it to change.They've always underestimated me to be the gullible type but I'm stronger than they believe I am...so I decided to ask her about this family
"Are they good people?" My voice barely above a whisper
"Why are you whispering, dear? They won't harm you.The Adams are great people...Actually this is their 2nd time adopting an exchange student like you" she said in a calm, collected and relaxed manner
"There's nothing to worry about."
"Was it a girl or a boy?" I asked her referring to the 1st exchange student
"She was also a girl. Her name was Celine Montenegro. She was a senior at that time. She already went home last Saturday."
Today's a Tuesday so she left for 3 days already...
"Can you tell me more about the family?" I asked
"Sure. There’s Mrs. Hannah and Mr. John Adams, mother and father of 2 sons. They work as lawyers and they have a law firm right now so they're actually quite rich and of course there are the 2 sons who happen to be identical twins. Michael and Drew, they’re quite opposite when it comes to personalities actually. Michael’s kind of the good kid while Drew's the trouble-maker one." she went on
"You say they are identical, no differences on their features?" I asked, interested in the twins ‘identical image
"They're quite identical except for the eyes, Michael has brown eyes which he got from Hannah and Drew has green eyes which he got from John." she responded
"Oh...you know the family well, Ms.Anne, why’s that?" I asked
"The family's been a dear friend to me. They're really good people, you know"
