We followed Ash to building that was painted white with different colors making different art works . One that caught my eyes was one of a sun shining down on a beach . It reminded me of Malibu . I heard the clicking of a camera next to me and saw Evelyn taking pictures of the painted building .
"Cool huh . Maybe if you are lucky you guys will be able to paint on it too . Everyone in ASB gets to paint on it every year " Ash said . He pointed out the one of sun on the beach " a girl last year did that , she ended up going to a beach in California and went whale watching , but she got pushed off the boat and got hurt . Some people said she died but no one has ever seen her "he said .
I remember hearing about that last year . "What was her name?" Evelyn asked . Ash looked at her strangely . "Emily West , did you know her ?" He asked. " No but we have heard about her . And she did die . It was all over the news down there it was depressing . I have pictures of the memorial they set up for her " Evelyn said . " You guys came from Cali ? " he asked surprised .
"Yeah " I replied . He walked straight into the building motioning for us to follow him , and we did . The room was not entirely full of kids , two teachers sat at a desk in the corner , there were couches spread out and some desks . In another corner there were art supplies and about three kids painting posters . All eyes were on us when we walked in . "Hey Mrs and Mr. Peru , I'm back and we got new kids " Ash said joyfully .
The woman who was Mrs.Peru walked towards us at the entrance. "I take it that your Daniel and Evelyn? "She asked . "Yes we are " I replied emotionless. "Well welcome so the ASB room we do the year book ,event planning , poster painting and desicion planning to improve our school .Which one would you guys like to join ?" She asks us .
I already know Evelyn wants to do the yearbook since she'll be behind a camera all day . "I'll go with yearbook " Evelyn says cheerfully . Ms.Peru claps her hands " Wonderfull , unfortunately , you are the only one in it . No one chose it this year and the one who was in it .... we don't speak of her " she says a hint of sadness at the end of her words. She quickly replaces the sadness with a cherry attitude and turns toward me ."And you ? What you you like to do ?" She asks. I glance at Evelyn. If she is the only one in year book she'll need all the help she can get.
"I'll go with year book too "I reply . "Excellent . Unfortunately , your sister is now president of year book committee, so you'll have to listen to her and do as she says . "She says to me . "Wait a second ... I'm in charge of Danny ? Ooh this Is going to be fun . Wait .. I'm president of a committee full of two people ? How is that going to work out ? " Evelyn exclaims . Ms.Peru goes into explaining what she has to do for the year and how it going to work out and what not . I on the other hand , seat myself onto a near by sofa and pull out my phone and my beats and listen to music . I notice a bookshelf next to me so I grab the nearest one and start to read .
About four or five pages in , I notice that someone walked up to me . I look up to meet a pair of blue eyes staring at me . She has chestnut brown hair scooped up into a messy bun, has a septum piercing and glasses perched on her nose,is wearing a gray nirvana t shirt ,ripped demi washed jeans and gray vans. She motions for me to remove my headphones and I do .
"Can I help you ?" I ask her . " Not really I was just going to ask if you could scoot over so that I can sit down " she says in a sweet voice . "Oh sure thing " I say as move over to give her room to sit . Immediately she sinks into the sofa and crosses her leg and whips out an apple laptop and goes into the browser . "You new here?" She asks me . "Yeah is it that obvious ?" I ask in return . " Yeah . I'm Catarin , but everyone calls me Cat , you ?" She asks . Her eyes show some interest but not too much . " Well Cat , I'm Daniel but I go by Danny " I say putting my hand out for a handshake . She grasp my hand and shakes it .
"So Danny where are you from ?" Cat asks me with interest . "Anaheim ,California " I reply with a smirk. "So I'm guessing your familiar with Emily West ?" She ask with boredom . I nod ."Why the attitude with the name ?" I ask . Before she gets a chance to respond , the bell rings and people start to leave . "Who's your next class ?" She asks . I take out my schedule and look it over . "Stats with Miranda " I reply . "Sweet I'll walk with you " she says getting up from the sofa .
I'm about to agree when I remember about Evelyn. " I'm sorry I gotta find my sister " I say to Cat . "Daniel , come on " I hear Evelyn's voice say from behind me . I turn to find her walking towards me . " I'm actually gonna go to class with Cat " I tell her . She peers over my shoulder to see who Cat is and she smiles . "Hi I'm Evelyn "she says pushing me away and extending her hand out towards Cat . To my surprise Cat shakes hands with her .
"I'm Cat , who's your next class ?" Cat says . "Intro to Stats with Miranda " Evelyn says showing Cat her schedule . "Why dont you walk with us ? It's the same class and teacher since the school is too broke to get another stat teacher "Cat offers . "Sure why not. You wouldn't mind would you Danny ?"Evelyn says grinning smugly .
I return the grin and say "No problem at all . I really hope I dont regret this
