My New Life

Chapter 8

We reached school and got out of the car, everyone was staring at us. When Josh saw us he started walking towards us. He stopped and looked us up and down, his gaze lingered on Jillian's the longest. She was wearing a black and white striped tank top, purple leggings, feather earrings and grey shoes with a bow on them. The outfit was simple but she looked gorgeous. I smiled and snapped my fingers in front of their faces, "You coming or not?".

Just as we were walking towards the entrance Hunter stopped us, "Anna next time you go out and spend a night at your friends house you have to call me, or in will call the cops!" He scolded Anna, Anna smiled and pinched Hunters cheeks, "It's cute how much you care so much about me", he slapped her hand away out of pure embarrassment. "You're my sister, to be exact, my twin. I have to care about you!" He argued. Anna shook her head and ruffled his hair, "If you say so, little bro", she teased, he glared at her, "I came three minutes after you, your just three minutes older than me, it's not a big difference!"

I shook my head, "Well Hunt I'm sorry that your younger than Anna, but I really need to get to class, so can you please move out of the way", I said waving my hands to the side. Hunter noticed me and a blush started going up his neck, "Oh sorry Meggie" he said calling me the name he used to call me when we were kids and moving out of the way, gesturing forward.

"Did Hunter Jackson just blush over there?!" Josh yelled quietly when we got into the crowded hallway. Jillian, Anna and I looked at each other. "Um......, I didn't see any blush" I said in a very unconvincing way. "Oh yeah, and I'm married to Angelina Jolie" Josh said sarcastically.

I turned to Anna and Jillian for help but they just turned their heads away. "Is there something going on between you and Hunter, cause if there is I want to know!" Josh said.

Jillian came to my rescue, she wrapped her arm around Josh's and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Josh turned beet red and shut up.

I was walking out of the school at four o'clock since I had gone to the library to get some work done. I got a message from Robin saying he couldn't pick me up. Anna and Jillian had dance practice and Josh had swim trials.

Someone came up from behind me and tapped on my back, it was Hunter. "What are you doing here alone?" he asked. "I'm waiting for Josh to get over with his swim trials so that he can take me home, and I can't take a taxi because I spent all my money on losing a bet to Anna", I complained.

"Why don't I drop you?" he asked. I raised my eyebrows and shrugged, "Okay", and followed him to his bike.

I sat on the bike and wrapped my arms around his torso. "You better hold on tight if you don't want to fall", he teased. I slapped him on his chest and said, "Move!" so we zoomed off.

When we were halfway home it started raining, heavily. When we stopped in front of the building both of us were soaking wet. "Come up and wait till the rain subsides down" I begged Hunter, ''I don't want you to catch a cold!'' and after a lot of pleading and begging he finally came up.

''Nice place'' he said after entering the house. ''Let me get you one of dad's T-Shirts'' I said and headed towards dad's room. I had never been inside, everything was plain, except for the desk in the corner. It had lots of pictures, there was one of me and dad when I was just born, a picture of Cara sitting on Brandon's shoulders pulling his hair, and last of all a picture of my parents wedding day...

Why would dad have a picture on his wedding day? I shook my head, t-shirt for Hunter!

I went out and gave hunter the t-shirt, ''There's a bathroom on the first left'', I said pointing behind me. Hunter winked and went. I walked into the kitchen and searched through the cupboards. I found a packet of M&Ms, I reached up but it was to high. Suddenly, Hunters body was pressed against mine, his arm stretched up and he got it. I took the packet from him, ripped it open, put it in a bowl and walked towards the living room. We both sat down on the sofa, facing each other.

''Maggie why are you in New York'', Hunter asked. ''It's a long story Hunter'' I said burring my head in my hands. He sat next to me, pulling me onto his lap. He put a finger on my chin and tilted my face up. ''Maggie, tell me'', He said wiping a tear of my cheek, I didn't even notice that I was crying. ''Maggie?''

''Brandon was in a bombast-'' I started out just like mum did...
