Chapter 3: Get to know

Yivi's P.O.V

Tom opened the passenger door for me and I got in. He closed it and jogged to the drivers seat.

I realized Tom brought a friend with him but I didn't have a clue where he went.

Tom started the engine. It was a silent drive between us until Tom turned the radio on...

"Man in the mirror" by Michael Jackson was on. I was about to sing along but Tom beat me to it.

"Cause you got no place to go, cause I really want you to know-" he stopped and looked at me.

I felt myself smiling at him. He does have a good voice... And good sense of humor.

"I'm staring at the man in the mirror! I'm asking him to change his ways!" I started to sing along with him.

When the song ended, we laughed our heads off for awhile.

"I didn't know you could sing!" Tom said happily.

"Hey! You weren't to bad yourself either!" I giggle.

We reached to Tom's house... It was like a mansion....

"Wow..." Escaped from my lips.

"You like it?" He asked.

"I've never seen one before."

I look out the window and see a window open.

"Why is that window open?"

"It's yours... I tried to make it more presentable but you know..."

He parked the car and we got out.

Tom's P.O.V

When walked over to OUR house, a couple of teenage boys came with their skateboards...

"What's up tommy!" Yelled Luke.

"Luke, you don't want to get in trouble again?" I said, cocking my eyebrow.

"Who's this?"

Yivi, took my hand as quickly as she could and hid it behind our backs.

"You don't need to know."

"I'll figure out one way or another...." Said Luke coldly...

I could feel Yivi's hand grip tighter on my hand.

I lean over to her ear and whispered "it's going to be okay."

She let go of my hand ran inside the house.... I really need to lock my door.

"Ha! She doesn't even like you!" Spat Luke.

"How about you leave her alone!" I shouted at him and ran inside to look for her.

I lock the door behind me and yell "Yivi?!" For a moment there I was about to say, "Honey" to her.

I ran up stairs and saw her door was closed... I lean my ear close to the door and hear sniffs.... Is she crying?

"Yivi? Can I come in?" I knock on the door.

"Just leave me alone! You have no idea what I'm going through!" She yelled.

"Listen, I'm sorry. But, please, come down at 7 p.m.... Dinner will be ready."

Yivi's P.O.V

"Listen, I'm sorry. But, please, come down at 7 p.m.... Dinner will be ready."

I look at my clock and see it's 5 p.m. I look around for a bag and clothes that he bought me. How did he know my sizes? Whatever...

It's almost 6 p.m and it put my pack-back on and jump out the window.
