"So you're telling me that a hot  man arrived at our school, claims to be your brother AND wants to take you to New York?" Jessica asked in disbelief while Caleb and Belvina were still shocked. 

I nodded, "Yes, That's about it, I'm scared to be honest, You know?Like, what if people don't like me? What if they  are disgust-" Caleb cover my mouth with his hand, a look of horror on his face, 

Give him a break, my brain cried out, he just overcame his shock!

"Don't say that!" He cried out, "Everybody loves you! They accept you here, The others will too."

I pat his shoulder and he removes his hand from my mouth, "Does your brother know  about you" Jessica asks me, seriously. I shook my head. 

"Nope" not popping the 'p'.

Jessica sighs, and falls down on the bed.

We are at Caleb's house right now, It took a lot of Xavier to convince me.

Not really. 

I asked him just  one question.

--

"Will I get free food?"

"Of course, You don't have to pay for anything" He scoffs and I smile. 

He just made the biggest mistake of his life. 

"When are we going?" . He looked shocked, Mr. Teller had a huge grin on his face. 

Dumbly knows me too well.

--

"When are you going?" Belvina asked sniffling.  They think  Xavier begged me to come. 

What they don't know doesn't hurt them.

"Uh- Tomorrow?" I reply nervously, My packing was done already, Xavier called my social worker who was more than happy to do a background check and well living with blood relatives is better I guess so she filled the papers to cancel my transfer way too fast. 

Jessica swatted my shoulder, "Nate" She cried out. "That's too early, We can't even give you a farewell party"  Belvina nodded seriously. "We NEED to have a Farewell party, I agree with Jessica" .

I shook my head, "No, Besides I'm meeting someone at the Cafe for coffee today" Caleb grinned, "Blind date?" He asked and I rolled my eyes

"I'm meeting my uh- brother's wife?" I chuckle, and Caleb frowns. "Aww, man. I'll miss you, terribly" . I hug him and belvina and Jess join our hug. I pull back after a few seconds and frown. 

"I'll miss you guys too. You've been with me for so long and I'm gonna miss you so so much. We'll call each other everyday okay?" I ask and they all nod eagerly.  

We talk for a few more minutes and I get a message.
