So now were are all really confused. We were expecting a really good speech from Ms. and all we get is the same thing we were told by our parents...how nice -_- Audree is talking and being herself again. I think she is finally over what ever caused her to go into a depressed state. I'm happy she's out of it now. It was scaring me. Today Philip was helping me with reading homework in the garden...
"You understand now?" he asked
"Yeah," I say
"Kay," he set the literature book on the bench beside me and waited for me to finish reading the story.
I couldn't exactly focus on the story. Shakespeare's words were swilling around on the page. I blinked. I know there's nothing wrong with my eyes...maybe if I just get a snack...I got up from the bench.
"Oh no you don't!" Philip got right in front of me. He knows I'm claustrophobic and I sat down so I wasn't to close. "You told me you were not going to let anything distract you."
"But it doesn't make sense anyway..."
"You can't focus?" he asked worried
"I haven't eaten anything since breakfast! I'm starving."
"You didn't eat lunch?"
"I lost my appetite."
Philip shook his head.
"Stay here, I'll get you something." he said
I puffed my lips. Of course he doesn't let me get my own snack. :\ He left the garden. I tried to read again but I couldn't focus. All I could think about was the conversation Ms. gave us a couple days ago. I remembered how Philip seemed to know more about his parents than any of us did. Did he even say his parents never told him where they worked? Right he did...but maybe he lied. I felt like he knew something but he just didn't want to share. Philip came back with a PB& J sandwich. Not exactly my favorite, but it will do. I bit into the sanwich. I tried to talk right after that. Smart.
"Suff, wemm fluull" I tried to say, Philip laughed
"Your welcome?" he laughed, I swallowed then got back to bussiness
"Heh heh," ok, here I go "Did your parents ever tell you at least what the bussiness they worked for was about?" I asked nervously
"Uhh.." I could tell he really wasn't comfortable talking about it, but I had to know everything I could find out "It was for...for making weapons."
Whoa. What? My parents helped made weapons?!
"And different science experiments," he continued
"I can't believe our parents worked together and we never met. None of us even went to the same zone school."
"I was in a private school."
"What school?" Sorry I can't put what school he said. Safety. :P So going to what I said after he told me what school he used to go to. "Oh, I know that place. Some of my old friends knew kids there. They said most everybody there was rich and snobby."
Philip laughed "Not everybody,"
After we were done studying I told what I knew to Jasmine. Which seemed like a mistake at first.
Jasmine: Ooooo! You two were alone in the garden? ;)
I thought she couldn't take anything seriously.
Jasmine: I heard the guys who went to that private school were hot! No wonder Philip got in...I mean...
Finally, I told her about the fact that our parent worked for a business that made weapons.
"Are you sure?" she asked
"Yes!" I answered "Do you think that somehow all our parents betrayed the company because they found out they were terrorist! So now we are hiding and on the run from them?"
"Yeah, I don't think that's what happened."
"Well, what if our parents found out they were selling to people we were in war with and were going to tell the govement and then they were threaten to be killed!"
"Uh," Jasmine wasn't looking to sure anymore
"Or! Or..."
"Jamie," Jasmine grabbed my shoulders "What if our parents were the ones who betrayed the company. They got caught for stealing weapons, or money."
I pushed myself away from Jasmine. How could she even think that? Our parents, Mike's, Philip's, Tony's and Audree's parents all betray the company and put us all in danger? Why would they do that? My dad was a smart man. He wouldn't risk his daughters lives to steal. My dad is better than that...my mom is better than that.
I shook my head and turned from Jasmine. "Never mind," I whispered
So, now I know that my parents worked for a company that sells weapons. Apparently dangerous weapons. I also know that they worked with Ms. and with all the parents of the gang except Tony's dad who left his mom when he was a baby. :\ I know whatever happened, who betrayed who...it caused my father's deaf and the rest of us to go on the run or they will find us too and kill us as well.
