I Am Different

Chapter 18

I stood there while my eyes were staring at Mike's.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You definetely know what I mean," Mike said, "You just won't tell."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Mike straightened his back and crossed his arms.

"I'll believe you for now," he said, "but I'll try to find out your secrets."

I nodded slowly. He took my right hand and placed my necklace on my palm. I grasped the necklace and went to the bedroom. I stood infront of the mirror and wore my necklace. I felt comfortable again. I clutched my necklace from my neck and closed my eyes. I felt relieved and sighed. I then removed my hands from my necklace and placed them at my side. I walked back to the kitchen and took a bread.

"You hungry?" A girl's voice spoke.

I turned around to find Jenny looking at me.

"Oh, uhh..." I drawled out, "I still haven't ate breakfast."

Jenny smiled and stood straight.

"Let's go to McDonald's." She said.

McDonald's sounded familiar. Maybe I have been there before. I stared at Jenny and nodded. Jenny walked to the living room and so did I. Jenny took her carkeys from her right pocket.

"Mike." She called out, "We're going out, okay?"

Then a man's voice spoke from the bathroom.

"Okay."

Me and Jenny walked out of the room and made our way to the first floor. We got off the elevator and walked towards the parking lot. We walked to the car and we opened the doors. I hopped in and closed the door at my right. I sat beside the driver's seat where Jenny was. Jenny also closed the door at her left and started the engine. We drove out the parking lot and drove to McDonald's.

We arrived at McDonald's and as I saw the sign, I remembered now. Jenny parked the car and we got out. I turned around to see a hospital. I don't really know what it's called so I just turned around and walked in the restaurant. I could smell the delicious food when I was just at the door. Jenny lined up and kept looking at the food from the picture above, then she stared at me.

"You should go find us a table." She said.

I nodded and started to walk around the restaurant, trying to find a table for two. I then saw one and walked towards it. Then I realized that there was a group of girls at the table at my right. They were laughing until the other one saw me. I just realized that it was the woman who spoke to me at the Police Station. I think her name was Jane. I kept thinking until I realized that Jane was walking towards me.

"Hey, this is such a coincidence." She said.

"I don't know." I said.

"It's actually because I came here with my sister and I also found my other friend along with her sister too," She explained, "Now you're here too."

"Ah, okay."

"You're here with your sister, too?"

"Uhh..." I drawled out, "She's not really my sister but a friend."

"Oh, okay." She said, "I'll leave you now, bye."

She waved me goodbye and I did also. I waited until Jenny came here with a tray of food.

"We got two burgers, fries and coke." She said.

"Okay." I said.

I took my burger and fries and started eating them. Jenny handed me my coke and I drank from the straw. I started chewing and swallowing my food. I felt my tummy growing because of what I ate.

"I can't believe I drank a soda and ate fast food in the morning." I said.

"Sorry. I wanted to eat here." Jenny said.

"That's fine. I'll just drink water when we get back to the hotel."

Jenny nodded and I rested my back on the chair. Then I straightened my back again.

"I just thought about how your dad gives you that lots of money." I said.

"What about it?" Jenny asked.

"What do you think he does that he gets that much money?"

"I'm not really sure, but I think it's from his work."

"But it's kinda many."

"I know, right."

"I think he's doing something else that he earns that much money."

"Maybe."

I stood from the chair and straightened my back.

"I'll get some water." I said.

I walked to the counter and ordered a free water. They gave me a cup of water and I drank. After I drank, I turned around and saw a girl wearing a hood. She was hiding her face and she was standing at the side of the bus stop. I tried to focus on her and find out who she was. She started lifting her head and I was about to see her face, until a hand grabbed my shoulder.

"You okay?" Jenny asked.

"Uhh..." I drawled out, "Yeah, yeah I am."

"Okay, let's go now."

Me and Jenny walked to the car and hopped in. I sat beside Jenny again and looked out the window. I then saw the hooded girl again but she hid her face again. Both of her hands were dug at her pocket. Then she slowly showed her right hand and she was clutching a necklace. And I realized.

It looked the same as mine.
