Grayson's pov

"I just want to know what she's hiding." Ethan mumbled as he typed on his computer. I looked up from the couch and nodded. He wasn't paying any attention to me, so there was no point in signing a response. "Her dad's name is Carlos. She has his last name, so his last name is Russ. But when I google Carlos Russ, nothing comes up besides for thing called "Russ Industries." It's weird. Theres no background on this guy."
I looked up and over at my brother who was more paranoid about this than I was. It seemed to obviously upset Angel, so I didn't want to irritate the situation more. She'll tell me when she's ready, or at least I hope she does.
"Okay. Shes from Castro, so maybe the area she lived in can tell us about her dad." Ethan said, I rolled my eyes and got off the couch, taking his laptop from him and turning it off. "Dude! What the fuck? Don't you want to know why shes so secretive about her past?" He yelled, I shook my head.
"It obviously upsets her. She'd be so hurt if she found out you were trying to figure it out. She'll tell it to us when she's ready." I signed. He sighed, but nodded his head.
"You're right, I'm sorry. I just don't understand what could be so bad that she starts to freak out about it. I don't think theres anything she could do to make any of us, our friends I mean, hate her." He grabbed his phone off the coffee table. I shrugged it off, obviously she has her own reason to why she's secretive about her past. As I've said, she'll tell us when shes ready."
My phone buzzed. I grabbed it and saw it was Angel.
From: Angel
Are you guys coming to school today or what?
I looked at the time, realizing it was thirty minutes into first period.
"Are we going to school?" I signed to Ethan who was luckily looking at me. He looked at the time and shrugged.
"We dont have to." He shrugged and leaned further into the couch. I shrugged too, maybe taking today off will be good.
To: Angel
No, I think we're just going to stay here. I'll bring you something from the diner for lunch if you want?
It immediately said that she read it, meaning she was waiting for a response.
From: Angel
Oh, no. Don't worry about it. I hope you guys are okay (,: text me if you need anything, and i mean anything.
I smiled at her caring words. Shes always so sweet and caring. No matter what kind of day shes having, and shes had some bad ones, shes always putting others first.
"So are you ever going to tell me about Angel? Like how you really feel about her? How she makes you feel, or how she treats you when its just you two? You're so secretive about her. Have you guys done it yet?" Ethan began to bombard me with questions. I looked up and laughed mentally. He's such a weirdo.
"I don't know. No we haven't, as you said, done it. We haven't even talked about it since the night everyone was here and were being invasive about the subject." I rolled my eyes at the thought of that night while I signed.
"So do you love her?" He raised an eyebrow. I widened my eyes at his questions.
"What? No, I barley know her!" I signed more aggressively and faster than I usually do. I hate how invasive Ethan can be sometimes. He looked confused, and nodded his head slowly.
