I'd Never Expected

Chapter 22

Together, my mom and I helped Ronnie to his room. This actually was the first time I've been in his room since he's moved in and to my surprise the room was tidy, except for his unmade bed and the books and papers spread all over his small desk. It seems like he really does do some studying.

"Is there anything you need?" my mom asked before Ronnie said no and she excused herself, pulling me along with her. I really wanted to stay longer by his side, but Ronnie needed his rest and plus, I was starving! I never had a chance to eat my sandwich.

I headed to thekitchen to help myself to the turkey delight. My dad had arrived from work a while ago and had been informed about what happened to Ronnie already, so when I heard my parents discussing this fight he had been involved in I didn't bother to listen any further. I minded my business and kept on eating.

"I'm calling Mr. Eister," I heard my mom say with great concern in her voice.

I lifted my head in their direction. Why would she want to call him? Doesn't she know that Ronnie isn't in good terms with that guy?

"I'm sorry for bothering you, Mr. Eister," I heard her speak, "but something has happened to Ronnie... Yes, he did... yes, just like you assumed..."

Did what? Assumed what? What the hell was going on? As risky as I knew this was, I wanted to eaves drop by using the kitchen telephone but my courage wasn't pulling me enough to it. I sat there, tapping my fingers on the table as seconds passed by, trying to decided whether to do it or not. I could hear my mom continue on with her conversation -- but only her side, which is why my curiosity kept growing more and more.

"No, no! I shouldn't! This is strictly none of my business…" I told myself and tried to distract myself with the remains of my sandwich.

"Yes please, if you would kindly talk to him for me. Yes, of course, today's fine--"

I turned around. What? She wants him to come? I finally jumped up from my chair and headed for the telephone.

"Serenity?" I heard my dad call from behind.

Damn, perfect timing. I faced him. "Yeah?" I chuckled.

"What are you doing?" he enquired with suspicion.

"Uh… going to my room!" I yelled out and darted to my door. I exhaled and wished there was a phone in my room. No, I shouldn't. I already told myself that this is none of my business.

I sat on my desk and turned on my computer to try distract myself for a bit, and I did, for like two minutes because suddenly my phone began to ring. I checked the caller ID and didn't recognize the number.

Oh, no. Already I didn't want to answer. But, what if it isn't her? What if it's someone else I know? "Hello?" weary, I answered.

So sorry it took so long .but with school in my surgeries on my feet I have a really busy schedule!!
