Adopted by The Pack

Chapter 18

Getting up for school, I pulled on a tank top, a gray plaid button down that I left unbuttoned, and a pair of jeans. Completing the outfit, I got on the same pair of boots that I wore Sunday. I headed downstairs to grab some food and to find out if I was taking the bus or going with Brianna or Preston.

"Good morning. So, how am I getting to school today?" I asked.

"We figured that you would take the bus again. Is that ok?" Preston answers.

"It's fine with me. Is there anything I can have for breakfast?" I said.

"Here, I made some pancakes this morning. Eat all you want." Said Brianna. Walking over to the table, I saw a large stack of pancakes. Grabbing a plate, I got a stack of three and claimed the maple syrup. I wondered briefly if this came from Mitch before tearing into the pancakes.

Once I finished, I gathered everything, and ran out to the bus stop.

"I didn't know you lived around here." I heard Liam say. I turned around, and saw him watching me.

"I live a little ways that way." I said, pointing in the direction I came from. We got on the bus, and he sits next to me again. "Why do you choose to sit by me? I'm an outcast, you're a popular kid. Those don't usually mix." I asked.

"I don't know. You seem... different from everyone else. I must admit, it does make me curious." He answered, yet didn't really answer. I just looked at him before reaching over and grabbing my PSP and headphones. "What's that?" I heard Liam ask.

"It's a PSP, or a Playstation Portable." I answered, plugging my earbuds in. Starting my music, I zoned out until we got to school.

"Were you talking to Liam again?" I heard Cheryl ask.

"Yeah, but he asks sooo many questions." I say, laughing. Raven walks up to us.

"Hey, when did you start taking the bus? I thought Pres-" Raven started to say.

"Shh. I don't want people to know who adopted me." I said, interrupting her. We walked on into school, and headed to our first period class, math.

After school, I got back into the bus to get home, when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I jumped, and when I turned around, I saw Liam, silently laughing. I rolled my eyes, and went to get a seat. Once more, Liam sat next to me.

"So, do you have any good games on that PSP?" He asked me.

"A few that I enjoy, but mostly I use it for music and YouTube." I answer.

"Who's your favorite YouTuber?"

I started to answer my dad, but caught myself. "Prestonplayz, but I enjoy all of the Pack."

"Oh. I've heard of Preston, but I've never watched him. Is he any good?"

"I mean, I'm kinda biased on this, but I think he is. Why?"

"I don't know. I'm needing to watch different YouTubers." Hmm. Maybe we could become friends.
