When Neptune meets Earth

III

Here's Lucky Blue Smith as Noah Sanders.

' Hadrian, how much time do you need to get ready?,' I heard my mother say from downstairs.

' I am ready.'

' Then, are you waiting for a chariot to come there and bring you downstairs?,' I heard my mother say in an irritated voice.

' Coming. I thought that you'd call me after you were ready,' I said as I came down in front of her.

' You think absolutely senseless things,' she said to me while gesturing to move out.

' Where's dad?'

' Waiting for us in the car.'

' Okay. Well, mom I wanted to say that I think I should stay at home. I'll just get bored over there.'

' No, you won't. Ruby and her family is also coming,' she replied with a some.

I frowned and said with an annoyed look on my face,' Ugh..that Logan will be there!!! I don't like him.'

' Well..I can't do anything about that now.'

' Mom, please. I'll stay at home.'

' No way,' my mother said and gave me her deadly glare.

I didn't say anything and walked inside the car, in the back seat.

' Is there any function at Miss Brown's house?'

' I don't know, Lily didn't tell me.'

' Okay,' I said and rest of the ride was just my mother and father talking while I sat silently and listening to their boring talks.

At last, after twenty minutes we reached Miss Brown's house.

The door opened to reveal Miss Brown.

She hugged my mother and father and then me and really it was a really very suffocating hug.

I said while entering,' It's nice to meet you again, Miss Brown.'

' You too, Mr. Reed,' she said while teasing.

' Come on, you all. Everyone's in the living room. Ruby, Stephen and Logan are already here.'

We nodded and entered the living room. 

I shook hands with them and said,' It's nice to meet you Ruby and Stephen.'

' Nice to meet you too Hadrian.'

' Where's Logan?'

' He's in the backyard with my niece,' Lily said.

' Niece? You have a niece, Lily? You are so young,' I said.

' Of course, I have and she's of your age,' Lily said while laughing. She then continued, ' I'll call her wait.'

She sent a text to her niece and just seconds later we heard footsteps coming in our direction.

I don't know whom I was expecting but I surely wasn't expecting Lily's niece to be her. Red Furs.

She entered with Logan following but stopped in her tracks the moment she saw me.

I don't know whether the elders didn't notice it or tried to ignore it but they didn't say anything about the sudden silence.

Lily looked at her niece and said,' Faith, this is the Reed family. This is Angel Reed, my friend. James Reed, her husband and Hadrian Reed, her son.'

' It's nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Reed and you too Hadrian,' Red Furs said while smiling at everyone even me.

' No, no, dear, please call us James and Angel,' my father said to which my mother nodded her head.

' Okay, Mr- I mean James,' Red Furs said with another smile. Then, she looked towards her aunt and said,' Guess what, aunt Lily?'

' What?'

' Logan goes to the same school as I do.'

' That's wonderful,' Lily said with a nice smile.

' That's absolutely amazing,' Red furs said with a really big smile.

' Okay, Logan and Hadrian, you boys sit down. Faith help me put the plates.'

We all nodded and went our way and I had to sit beside that annoying Logan.

Our parents were talking about their boring things while we both were on our phones.

Soon we were sitting beside each other on the dining table. Logan sat in between Faith and I which I didn't really like much.

' So Faith, where are you from?,' suddenly Ruby asked and turned the table's attention towards Faith.

' I am from Riverside, Mrs.Miller.'

' Oh..so, what attracted you here?'

Faith hesitated a bit but then said with a smile,' Aunt lived here alone so I though why not live with her for a bit till she decides to marry,' and then looked towards Lily.

There was another cause and she was definitely hiding it from everyone.
