I left Dolore where she stood. This was a bunch of bull crap. Georgie was gone. Dead. Done with and over. The bell rang and all the students rushed to their classrooms. Leaving Dolore standing alone. As I walked into my class, I heard her fall. She wasn't hurt. She had simply tripped or lost her balance. She was all alone. I couldn't go back, not now. No one else recognized the sound that I heard later. She was calling out for Christian. Then I heard his running.
I couldn't concentrate in class. I kept thinking about what could have happened to her. My teacher noticed,
"Ruby! Would you please explain this to the class since you already seem to know?" The teacher called out sharply. I looked up at the board, it was a punnet square. I sighed and did explain it to the class as I had seen it before and knew how it worked.
After class Adonis stopped me in the hall.
"I'm not convinced what you said checks out Spero."
"Huh?"
"Well, both your parents have light hair. And you have black. And both of your parents have light skin and you have-"
"Adonis! You know I'm adopted!"
He laughed.
"It's just a joke Rubes," he playfully pushed my shoulder,"quit being so serious, I heard it gives you wrinkles."
Then he and his lackeys exited the conversation.
I scoffed, maybe Josh was right about him. Maybe he was no good. What he said made me wonder afresh though; who were my parents, and how can I find out?
