The Difference Between Us

{27} Sharon

L O G A N

It's lunch break and apparently, Shelia and Ayo seem to have lost their jaw's hinges due to the fact that Scarlet was sitting on our table. Yes, we have a table because we are 'dejected' because of a certain person's son aka me. When Scarlet sat on our table, their jaws went slack with surprise. If this is their reaction when she sits with us, what would it be when I tell them that I'm living with her? They'd faint, probably.

I could feel the stares people gave us, her especially, and I could see that Ayo and Shelia noticed it too but none of us paid any mind and continued our lunch instead. It was an awkward day, especially with Scarlet around the group of the 'dejected' but then it's no different than any other day and I could whether through.

For the weekend, since I no longer have work on weekends, we decided to go on a double date with Scarlet and Ayo. By we, I meant Shelia and I. It was initially a date between us two but Ayo was being a drag and Scarlet was the only option for Ayo not to be a third wheel, hence, double date. We did nothing out of the cliché going to movies and ice cream date but it was a fun time until I saw something at an alley in the local area.

Few minutes ago...

We decided to play hide and seek (Ayo's idea, not mine) around the neighborhood and Shelia agreed to it. I wonder why she agreed, maybe she's an idiot like Ayo but then again, she's my idiot. We set a five kilometer radius limit and decided on the it by rock paper scissors, I lost so I became the it.

I felt giddy 'cause me being the it made me feel like I was some supernatural ghost figure that hunted seventeen year old teenagers and torment them with their past. (A/N: If you get the reference, you deserve a cookie!🍪). So I began my search around the crevices of the surprisingly big neighborhood and before I knew it, I was wandering instead of searching for my victims.

I stopped when I heard a girl's scream. It sounded like she was in danger so I followed the sound to an alley where I saw Sharon being surrounded by a group of hooligans. She was holding them off with her martial art skills but she was quickly being overpowered. Being the calm person I was, I quickly took a short video as proof and texted the others my location for back up.
