Foster Me: Emerson's Secret (ON GOING)

Chapter 26

PLS PUT YOUR PLAYLIST HERE

>>Levi's mom

Levi came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. "Hey."

I chuckled and closed my locker. "What you want?" I turned around to face him.

He smiled. "Not very friendly today are you."

"Am I ever?" I returned the smile. I held my books close to my chest and watched as he nervously fidgeted with his fingers. Something was off here. "Did you talk to Amber like I asked you to?"

I asked him the other day to check up on Amber after the whole 'abortion' talk. I wanted to make sure she was okay.

"She was alright."

That doesn't sound very encouraging at all. I sighed, "How bad was it?"

"She swore a bit. Accused me of telling you about it."

"I'm so sorry" I reached out to touch his arm. "Did you tell her I found out on my own?"

"Tried to. She didn't do much listening."

I pulled away my hand and shook my head. "Can't believe I got you involved in this." I'm a horrible, horrible person. A feeling of dread settles in my stomach.

" Don't sweat it," he said. "It's fine."

It really isn't. I wanted him to check on her just to make sure she was doing ok. I didn't mean for him to get involved and have her thinking he's the one that told me.

I overheard them. I wasn't told.

Pressing my lips together, I shook my head again. "Maybe I should talk to her."

"I wouldn't."

"I don't want her to be mad at you."

"I'm a big boy. I can handle it."

Levi draped my jacket over my chair in Biology class then settled in the desk right beside me. His group of girls who he use to sit with before I showed up, looked at us. I swear, every person in the room made sure to look at us from time to time.

You'd think they wouldn't be so surprised to see us sitting next to each other by now. I'm not exactly the newest student now.

Mrs. Peterson closed the door to the classroom with a bang and eyes went on her. "Good afternoon. We've got a pretty busy class today so I hope you all came prepared."

Everyone in the class will have to leave to go to their locker at some point. The class is notorious from being very unprepared.

Late homework assignments

Late projects.

Suspicious amounts of people missing on testing day...

I take out my notebook, flip to the first page and took the class notes. Mrs. Peterson spent the first 30 minutes of class going over notes then assigning us a worksheet on Thermal Chemistry. I honestly have never heard of Thermal Chemistry in my life. I thought the only type out there was the general Chemistry you can take through high school. Since when does Thermal Chemistry exist?

Mrs. Peterson calls the class to attention. "Time to assign another project."

I groaned along with the rest of the class. I swear if I have to do an assignment on Thermal Chemistry I might just die. It's bland. The subject bores you. I'm not going to be able to stand up in front of the class and sound enthusiastic reciting how Thermal Chemistry works.
