What people don't know

Chapter 31

I turn around to see who called me, I see a little girl standing there with two brown braids. "Elle!" she yells again and smiles, she walks up to me with a walking stick in her hand, "Hey Svea!" I say. It's Jonah's little sister! The one who i gave mac donalds! "Come sit with me and Jonah!" she says while she grabs my arm, "Yeah sure! Let me get Corbs" I say and Svea nods. She follows me to the picnic table where Corbs is sitting, "Corbyn!" she says and Corbs turns around, when he sees her a huge smile appears on his face. "Svea!" he says and he pulls her into a hug, "How are you?" he asks Svea shrugs her shoulders, "You know, been better" she says Corbs nods.

"But let's go! Jonah's waiting on me!" she says and she pulls Corbs up from the picnic table, that little girl is strong, well little, she's almost as tall as i am. Both Corbs and Svea walk with their walking sticks, I walk in the middle so they can lean on me. I gave Corbs his ice and i'm eating mine right now. When we arrive at the place where Jonah is sitting i immediately see that his whole family is there too. I see another girl around my age, plus his dad and his mom. It must be nice to have a big family. "Svea where were you!" Jonah's mom says while he hugs Svea tightly, Corbs and i just stand there. I look at my hands to avoid any eye contact, "Well i saw Elle, Corbyn's twin and i wanted that they would come and sit with us" Svea says while she sits down at the towel. "Hi i am Corbyn!" Corbs says while he shakes the hands of the others except Jonah and his mom cause we already met them. I do the same introducing me. "Well sit down you guys" Jonah's sister says. I sit down next to her and Jonah, "I am Esther" she says while she smiles at me, that girl is soo pretty like damn. Corbyn is talking with Jonah and Svea and Esther, I am just sitting there. I am too scared to start a conversation or something cause i don't want to seem weird...

"So elle how old are you?" Esther asks while she looks at me, "I'm 18, what about you?" I ask "I'm 17 and Jonah's 19" she says i nod. I kinda expected that Jonah would be around my age, "So to which do you go?" she asks, "National High School Berken" I say while i kinda hope she and Jonah go there too so i at least know someone. "Oh you guys go to that fancy school" Esther says, "too bad, i go to Village High School" she says. Ohh nooo, gosh when i thought i finally made sort of friends they go to a different school. Of course why would life be easy for once, "Oh yeah" I say and i break the eye contact and i look at the sea, it's getting pretty dark.

After 30 minutes of chatting i feel kinda left out, I know i cause it myself but still. Jonah and Esther are talking with Corbyn and Svea is sleeping. I could talk with the parents but that's weird.

i get up from the towel and i pat the sand off my dress, I walk closer to the sea and i just walk in it till my knees. I just listen to the sound of the waves, they come and they go. I am completely lost in my thoughts when i hear some footsteps approaching me, I look over my shoulder and i expect that Corbs is there but he's not. It's Jonah.
