Angel Knight (On Hold)

Chapter 8

           "He is just a friend of family okay, now for heaven's sake stop asking me about him." I snapped at Kate as we settled down at our usual lunch table. "But you didn't come to school for two days we were worried about you." Robin said, "I know I should have called but-" I said before Eric cut me off mid-sentence saying "but you didn't." He must be very angry with me, he didn't like when I said his family was friends with mine long before I came here, also he was my childhood friend and we got so caught up in talking and visiting his place that I forgot to call. This was the lie Jack came up with when I asked about what I should tell my friends. I'm not very good at making things up.

While we were all discussing about it Mark munched on his sandwich without giving a damn about our conversion. He was the only one who believed my story without asking any questions the first time I told everyone. Honestly I was thankful for that.

"But why was he wearing so... umm odd cloths?" Robin asked. Yeah those odd cloths are according to him, his uniform and that I can't say so I'll just have to try out my own lying skills now, so here goes, "Um... h-he's just... you know... t-t-the weird dresser type, yeah he is that." So the stammering doesn't help but I think they bought it. "I'm not sure there's a type like that." Kate says giving me her best intimidating look, she wants me to spill every detail about him. So maybe they didn't buy it.

I take a while to answer that but before I could the bell rings indicating that break is over. I sigh with relief and get out of my seat too quickly, "Well I'll see you guys later." I smile at each one of them and rush towards my locker glad that no one decides to follow me asking more questions.

The rest of the day at school dragged too long. Right now I'm working at the cafe, when I thought I'd get a little alone time without anyone bothering me about the last two days, Jack shows up here. He has occupied the booth at the very end, most people don't bother to sit at that booth cause it's a bit far and out of view. He's been flipping the pages of the menu for God knows how long, I've lost count.

"Just order a damn coffee." I said frustrated, I was tired of standing.

"No! I hate coffee, it's bitter." He whined like a small child, no no starch that like a small brat, yup.

"No it isn't."

He ignored me and continued flipping the pages. I just wanted a day away from all the supernatural that I've gotten myself into, I just wanted a normal day at work, is that too much to ask.

"How about a chocolate milkshake then." I suggested.

"Hmm.... chocolate, I do like chocolate  but what's this milkshake thing." He asked me, I looked down at him not knowing what to say, I mean who doesn't know what a milkshake is? 

"Do you live in the same world as I do?" I asked, I'm kind of offended here you know cause I love it and he, doesn't know what it is. Sure he's an angel but that isn't an excuse for not knowing what a milkshake is, sure he's lived in abyss for very long time, ohh he was banished there, so that means he hasn't eaten anything while he was there, you know the name 'abyss' doesn't exactly sound inviting, how long did he survive without food? Then again does he even need food to survive? I mean angels don't need food to survive right, at least that's what I saw in Supernatural. 

All the frustration form a while ago is gone, I just feel bad for him he was all alone for so long. I feel a bit guilty too for this long all I've done is think about my problems, and have been very selfish. I mean he's done so much for me. The best part was Peter was very happy to have him around. He isn't exactly the type to like a person when he first meets them. Jack is very different.
