My life in the new town

Chapter 10: Let's go running..

Saturday morning I woke up and I decided to go running. Back in Chicago me and my best friend used to go running every Saturday and Sunday morning. I dressed in my running clothes and I took my iPod, after eating an apple I left the house. I just started running on the path when I observed that Adam is running next to me. I took out my earphones.

''Hey Hilary!'' he tells smiling.

''Hey Adam!''

''I was shouting after you to wait me, but you didn't stopped.'' he tells and I see on his face that he looks like he's been running fast.

''Sorry, I didn't heard.'' I tell him while pointing to my iPod.

''I see. How was yesterday at mall? Zac told me that you didn't wanted to hang out with us because you needed to go to the mall.'' he tells and when I look into his eyes I can see that he's a little bit sad about it.

''It was good, I had fun with the girls. I never said that I didn't wanted to hang out with you, but I promised this for them on my first school day.'' I tell him as we start running a little bit faster.

''I understand.'' he tells ''But what if this was your only oportunity to hang out with us?''

''If you want to hang out with me, you'll give me one more chance.'' I tell him and he starts to laugh.

''You know we're not used to do this. Most of the times we don't need to ask anybody to hang out with us because they are begging to us to let them.'' he tells simply.

''I already knew that.''

''Let me guess... Amanda and Sarah told you, right?'' he asks.

''Yeah that's right.'' I answer him.

One and half hour later we were still running. We ran through the hole town, it was good we talked a lot and I get to know the town better.

''You can run really fast. You used to practice before?'' Adam asks.

''Yeah, in Chicago I used to run with my best friend every Saturday and Sunday, even during the week when we had time.''

''Cool.''

''You can run fast too, but that's obvious because you're a football player.

''Yeah that's true.'' he tells laughing.

''How long have you been playing football?'' I ask him.

''I always liked playing football, and I wanted to become a good footballplayer, so in the 7th grade I started to play more seriously.''

he tells and smiles at me ''I used to tell my parents that I wanna be a  footballplayer, but they told me to find something better-''

''But you can play football really good so why they wan't you to find something else to do after you finish school?'' I ask him.

''I don't relly know-''

''You still have the possibility-''

''Hilary..I don't want to talk about this now'' he tells.

''Oh..okey.''

''Let's go home, we're running for 2 hours.'' he tells.

''That's a good idea.'' I tell him while I run and want to turn left. I think that's the street which gets us home from here.

''Hilary!'' Adam yells after me.

''Yes?'' I ask while I stop running.

''You took the wrong way this way is more shorter.'' he tells and points to the other direction. So I run back at him and we continue running until we get in front of our houses.

''This running was very good!'' exclims Adam and laughs.

''You're right. I haven't run this much for a long time.''

''Next time when you go running, call me to go with you. That you won't have to go running alone and get lost.'' he tells smirking.

''Okey, next time I'll call you.'' I tell and start lughing too.

''Then see you later!'' he tells as he enters his house.

''Sure. Bye!'' I yell after him.

After I got into my house, I went upstairs and I jumped into the shower.

One hour later I was ready with everything. I got  message from Amanda that she's waiting for me in the front of my house. I just want to open the door when I hear my mother calling my name so I go into the living room. I see my mom sitting at the table and next to her sits a man. When I look at his face I recognise that this man used to be my father's lawyer.

''Good afternoon!'' I greet the man. He nods and continues his writing. Then I turn to my mom.

''Mom, what's happening here?'' I ask her.

"This man used to be your faters lawyer-" 

"Yes, I can remember."

"He just told me, that he found out that your father left a big amont of  money in another bank account.''

''Why did he left money in another bank account too?''

''We don't know yet.'' tells the layer.

''But now, we are working on it.'' my mom says.

''Okey.''

''Can I help you with something?'' I ask them.

''I don't think so honey, just go and have fun with your friends.'' she tells.

''Okey mom.''

''I just wanted you to know about this.'' she says.

''Thanks mom for telling me.'' I tell and hug her.

''You don't have to thank me-'' before she could finish her sentence the doorbell rung.

I opened the door and saw Amanda looking at me a little bit angry. Well she had the reason to be angry because she's been staying in the front of my house for about 20 minutes. I told her that my fathers lawyer find out something, and my mom just told me about it that's why she had to wait so long. Now she is driving to Sarah's house. This afternoon I'm gonna hang out with them so we'll have fun.
