Silentium

Chapter 2

" What do you mean.. ? " I asked feeling a drop of sweat on my spine

"I'm talking about UFOs of course," she shouted, banging her fist on the table.

Huh. She looked at me with a fire in her eyes.

"I am convinced that aliens exist and that the government is hiding something from us! "

"And it's off again ..." Jeremy sighed as Esther continued to smile stupidly.

"How do you explain the sudden changes in weather? The multiple disappearances? The drawings in the fields? Areas where we don't have access! "she said raising her voice.

"I always think that when we don't know, we must not dig, the mysteries are much more interesting when they stay mysteries."

"You don't have that thirst for knowing Jeremy, you can't understand."

"What I understand is that I'm going to be late for my next class," he added as he got up and picked up his bag.

"You're not funny Jem," Holy pouted.

"Come on, or the next hours you will talk about alien will be during the catch-up! "

Holy breathed and closed her computer before getting up.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Triss, see you soon," he said with a wink and heading for the exit;

"We'll have plenty of time to discuss the hidden faces of the world," Holy added to my attention before following him.

Esther watched them go and sighed. Nevertheless, she smiled, looking at me.

"These two are amazing but I love spending time with them, we never get bored"

"I see what you mean," I say, finally starting to eat.

"Holy is specialized in computer science while Jeremy is in Art History".

" How did you meet each-other ? I can see that you are all quite different. "

"I lost myself at the beginning of last year, to show my good faith, I had brought with me some slices of cake that I had prepared myself. But as I was shy enough, I did not dare ask for directions so I sat on one of the park benches while waiting. Jeremy passed by and smelled the cake smell. As someone who loves to socialize, he came to sit next to me and I told him my problem by offering him a share. At the same time, Holy was passing by, she was carrying a big box filled with books and seemed to want to take a break. When she saw us on the bench, Jeremy waved her hand and strangely ... We ended up talking to each other on the bench while eating my cake. "

"Like what, food really allows people to come together."

"Yes, I later learned that Holy was part of the supernatural club and loved to talk about it all the time. Jeremy is more ... romantic and dreamy, his thing is art. They are very nice at heart, and we see each other regularly to talk about our days. "

She looked happy when she talked about her friends, it was cute.

"Anyway, stop talking about us! And you ? "

Was I supposed to tell her that I didn't have any human friends? I had kept some of the wizarding people, but they were wizards. And since I rarely came to college, I didn't really have a chance to worry about it.

"Um ... It's only been three years that I live in Brooklyn and I have not kept much contact ..."

She had to understand because her mouth formed an o before looking at me with sparks in the iris.
