A Forgotten Shadow

Ew

As long as Tam could remember, which to be honest was only a few days ago. He had never tasted something so good as Mallowmelt, it's mouth watering tastes blew him away in a instant. While Keefe, his new sworn enemy, persisted on teasing him of his face. And bangs. Keefe continued to laugh as I scarfed down the rest of my slice, even Sophie was giggling at this point. "Keefe I get it my face looked funny get over it already geez." I said, sour. I tried pulling my bangs over my face, like Sophie had been doing to Fitz and Keefe whenever they spoke to her.

Keefe finally shut up as the room went silent, the group was over at Sophie's house huddled together in a circle in the middle of the room. I was leaning on the wall while the awkward silence continued. I looked around the room, Dex was looking around the room not sure what to say, while Fitz and Keefe stared at Sophie. Biana though was staring at me, and though her gaze was thoughtful it just made me want to close the shadows that I had tighter around me. I knew that I was supposed to like Biana but I as far as I thought I didn't even know the girl, much less Dex or Fitz. To me the only people I really knew was Lihn and Sophie. Heck I barely knew myself very well, I wonder if I was this awkward before. Maybe- "TAM!" a loud shout scared me away from my thoughts, bringing me back to Sophie's room.

Where everyone was looking at me. "Yes?" I asked, unsure who had pulled me out of my mind. "Tam we were trying to ask your opinion on what we should play." Lihn spoke up, I now noticed she was standing next to me looking at me with a smile. "Ummm to be honest I wasn't listening. What were the choices?" I asked. Keefe spoke up next, "it's either, one of Sophies weird human games or Base Quest." " Ummm" I said blankly, I didn't know what Base Quest was, nor what Humans played as games. I looked to Lihn for help, meeting a blank stare. I sighed and shrugged, trying to figure out what old Tam would do. Dex was the one who saved me.

"How about Lihn picks for you? You probably don't remember what Base Quest is anyway." He told me, smiling. I smiled back at him and silently thanked him. I nodded my head as Lihn thought it over. I crossed the room, sitting next in the empty spot next to Dex, and sinking back into the shadows. As I did though I noticed there was a fuzzy little ball next to me. Curious I poked at it, as it released a gigantic ball of stink in the air. I wanted to puke, it smelled awful. Ew Ew Ew.
