Dragon Secrets

Chapter 7

When we get back to Jc's apartment,  I notice how dirty it is. Beer bottles are all over the floor, along with food stains on the chairs and on the floor as well. I wonder if it gets like this all the time. I bet they do things like this all the time.

"I'll just call the maids again. They're nice and they leave the house smelling like lemon pledge,"  Jc says as he walks around the living room.

"Hey Jc,  what time are your parents getting back? "  Sam asks him as he sits down on the couch.

"They said they would be gone all this week. So you guys can stay here all you guys want."

"Good, because we weren't planning on leaving anytime soon."

I'm starting to get nervous and I don't like it. i keep thinking about my mom. I think I'll just go home and ask her if I can come back in the afternoon. I walk over to Cam who is just standing on the side. "We have to go home now," I tell her. 

She crosses her eyebrows. " What? Why? I still want to stay. Lets stay."

"Cam, we know our parents. Who knows if today is the day one of parents come to pick us up early? If today is the day and we don't go home now, we are screwed."

"But maybe not."

"Cam."

She stares at me for a moment. "Ugh fine."

Then I lead the way to where Jc sitting on the couch. I hesititate to tell him. "Hey,  um,  we kind of have to go."

He now looks disappointed. "What?" he responds.  "Why? It's still really early."

"Yeah but my parents don't know that I'm here and if they find out, I'll be grounded forever. But I promise we'll try to come again tonight."

"What? You guys are leaving so soon? We didn't scare you guys off did we? Because trust me, dragons are not the scariest or weirdest thing you can see. I promise we are not that abnormal."  Kian says as he walks over to us. He must have overheard that last part.

"No, you didn't scare us off," Cam answers.  "Learning that about you guys was actually really cool. We kind of have to, though. "

"Oh.  But please promise you guys will come back. We had so much fun last night." He gives Cam a warm smile and Cam smiles back. I think I even see her blushing.

"I promise." she says.

"Good." Then Kian opens up his arms to give Cam a hug. She wraps her arms around his waist since he's much taller than her. Kian rests his forehead on top of her head.

Their hug lags but they finally part. Then Kian gives me a hug that doesn't last as long as with Cam.

Kian calls the other boys over and tells them that we are leaving. Then we say goodbye for now and we hug each boy. Jean comes over and I hug her.  "Are you staying here all day?"  I ask her.

"No. I have to go back home like around noon. But I'm coming back too."

"Okay. See you later."

"You too. Don't tell your parents that I invited you to a party with alcohol,  okay? They will never let me hang out with you again."

"Sure they will. Cam once took me to a haunted house and it turned out that an old couple actually lived there."

"Hey!" Cam interjects. "I didn't know actually lived there. They never left the house and they were so quiet. It's was basically like the house was empty."

"Cam, we snuck in through the back window and the old lady was sleeping!"

"Yeah but we were able to sneak out through the front of the house and she didn't even wake up."
