Why me?

Chapter 4

A/N sorry this is a really short chapter couldn't get any good ideas I'll probably delete this later and redo it leave me some ideas in the comments!!

I walked up the front steps of the school. From what I know this place is fairly new. Now, what is my first class? Ugh, now I have to ask someone where the front office is.

"Excuse me. Umm hey can you.. This is pointless. No one is helping me."

"Looking for something?"

I turned around and saw the most gorgeous guy I've ever seen. I mean like Channing Tatum and Bradley Cooper combined.

"Yea actually, can you point me in the direction of the front office?"

"You're new here aren't you?" He said nonchalantly

"Is it that obvious?" I asked

"No, this is a small school, stuff spreads around when we get a new student everybody knows." He stated "So be careful what you say. The office is right over there." He points to the building on the other side of campus.

"Thanks and I'll try."

"I'm Aster by the way." He winked and walked away with his black Jansport backpack slung over one shoulder.

The rest of the day was uneventful. Spanish,English, and History today. My easiest classes, no one talked I sat with some theatre people today at lunch but we didn't really hit it off.

All three classes I had with Jake he acted as though I didn't exist. Maybe what I said this morning mad him mad? Or maybe he just meant that he would watch me from afar? Like when he stood in my doorway for who knows how long.

*******

When I got home Jonathan was still at work and Jenny took Morgan out for ice cream.

I heard shuffling down the hallway and watched Jake emerge into the kitchen.

"Hey, we are going to church tomorrow at 5 so be ready, sorry you have no choice the whole family goes." Jake said while raiding the refrigerator.

"Oh, ok no problem I've always been religious so it's no big deal it'll be nice to get to know some more people." I looked out if the corner if my eye when I said the couple of words.

"Great." With his arms full of snacks he walked upstairs and disappeared into his room. Again.

"Well, great. Now what?" I asked myself. I don't even know how to work their tv. Well our tv.

I haven't really spent any time thinking about my new situation. There were only about three things I was sure of:

1. Jonathan isn't the one who killed my mother

2. My best friend thinks my new "brother" is hot

3. This family seems to care about me, or they are just really good actors.

Yep. That's it. Hopefully I will get more onto the list. Since I brought up my best friend I should probably check my phone she's probably freaking out by now.

I grabbed out my phone and wen to search through the messages I got throughout the day.

Ana is my best friend and has been for a while now, so she kinda freaks out if I don't reply right away.

Ana: Morning Callie have a good day at school :)

Ana: are you at lunch yet?? Text me when you are!!

Ana: Ok Callie text me back I need to know about all the hot guys pleaseseeeee text me back k? Love ya byee!

Ana: CALLIE!! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!! Did they murder you?? Do I need to do some ass-kicking?? if you don't text me back soon I'm calling te police!!!!

I was right. She's freaking out better call her before the cops come knocking on my door.

Me: Geez, calm down woman! Lol I'm fine I told you yesterday I don't want to text during school. no chance of me getting in trouble this year.

Good, sent, no police calling I think I'm fine better go do my homework. Ugh, I hate homework why do we have it, don't we do enough work in school?

I walked over to the couch and pulled out my planner. I started working on the homework I had for the night when my phone buzzed.

I looked down and didn't recognize the number. The message said:

Callie, tomorrow morning before school meet me underneath the clock tower we need to talk.

What? this person expects me to actually do it? We'll I'm probably going to anyway but seriously? why would they just assume.

Me: umm who is this?

I don't even remember giving my number out to anyone today. Let's see I talked to the theatre people, I don't even remember their names. So it's very unlikely I have them my number.

The only other person I talked to was Aster.

Ohh, Aster he is so gorgeous. I can't believe he didn't invade my mind until now. When he looked into my eyes the sun reflected them just right so I could see the golden rings around the edges.

A lot of the times when I get a crush on a guy I can't help but think of the perfect way he would ask me out.

While I sat there fantasizing about Aster's perfect face, my phone buzzed.

Unknown: I guess you'll find out in the morning. ;) better see you there.

My mouth fell open as I tried to process the message my phone buzzed again. Oh good, it's only Ana.

Ana: oh my gosh! You nearly gave me a heart attack!! Dude, you know I have issues when I don't know where people are. Sorry for freaking out well I miss you girl!

Me: haha I like how you actually admit having issues. How's your mom? And oh. My. Gosh. This person texted me all creepy like..

Ok. I need to concentrate on homework. 7x squared + 16x + 23=

I have no idea. Who needs to know this!
