Overheard

After I told Audree that she needed to stop bulling everything went back to normal. Except for Audree avoiding Grace and Mike flirting with Grace. I can tell it's been driving Audree crazy. It's so obvious she likes Mike. ^.^  but you didn't hear it from me. Any way, all was okay until what I saw today. Mike had basketball game. It was our small private school against another small private school thing. So Ms. called Philip and told him to tell us that we should just stay for the game and then after she will pick us up. It was half time and I remembered I left a book I'm reading in my locker. I get up to get it. Once I get my book I was about to turn the corner but then I heard a door slam. I stopped. No one wasn't really sopost to leave the gym so I thought I got caught. I peeked around hoping it wasn't the principal. It wasn't. It was Audree and Grace. Grace was backing up from Audree fearfully. I thought Audree was going to fight Grace. I was going to reveal myself when Audree spoke.
   "What are you doing here?" she said sharply
Grace looked nervous as if choosing her words carefully.
   "Mike invited me to his game." she said softly
Audree's face turned an odd red.
   "Haven't you ruined enough for me?"
   "What are you talking about?" Grace said straightening her posture
   "You know what I'm talking abut. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you!" Audree shoved Grace back. Grace, face now turning red, took a step forward.
   "It was never my fault. I still don't see why you just blame me for your problems. You use to always do that!"
   "Fine, it wasn't your fault." Audree said "It was your parents fault! If they knew how to stick by their friends and keep their pathetic mouths shut, none of this would have happened!" Audree shoved Grace again.
   "Don't you dare bring them up!" Grace yelled "You have no idea what this has put me through as well."
   "Of course I do. You probably broke a nail." Audree teased
   "You don't understand-"
   "No you don't understand. You got to keep your perfect parents and continue your perfect lives, while I was left on the streetds!"
   "I..." Grace choked her face turned pale and Audree's eyes watered
   "You didn't even try to find me..." Audree whispered "I thought you were my best friend..."
Best friend??!! When were these two best friends? I was definitely missing some major things here. Apparently Grace and Audree knew each other before Audree started living with Ms. they were friends! Best friends! But...what happened? :-o  Did Grace betray Audree? Or did Grace's parents betray Audree? Whatever happened, it effected Audree's life forever!
After Audree said that, she walked back into the gym, leaving Grace standing in the hallway stunned and me wanting to know more.

New Face, Old Rival

It occurred to me, that if I'm in danger of being found by these people who are out to kill us, then is my blog safe? What if they are reading it this very second? What if they tracked to where the blog are being created and find my new home? O.O  I've tried to keep from putting last names, places and certain events out of here so anybody who knows me won't find me. All these thoughts came to me today at school when a new student came into the picture. She is petite and pale, with really blond hair it's almost white. Her features are rounded and child like. I thought she was in middle school when I first saw her but she is a freshman. I didn't think much of her, but when I saw the look on Audree's face when she saw her walk through the doors of the school, I knew something was going on. I was talking to Audree, teaching her to play Assassins when the girl walked by. She didn't notice us. She was too busy reading her class schedule. Audree's face turned pale white and her eyes dilated. I asked her what was wrong and her eyes swelled and she said she needed to go. I tried to find out who she was during the day. Apparently her name is Grace. She has P.E. with me so, I got to observe her from a not creepy distance. Of course that resulted in a kick in the knee...from Jasmine!
   "What's your problem?" I yelled
   "Get your head in the game!" she called running away with the soccer ball kicking it to someone else.
The boys were playing basketball on the court and when someone kicked the ball out of bounds Grace went to go retrieve it. Audree was watching her with furious eyes like she just murdered someone. Grace  walked up to the basketball court where the ball had wondered to. Mike called a time out and ran over the the rolling soccer ball and picked it up. Grace walked up sheepishly to him as Mike handed her the ball. Grace turned pink when she took the ball. Mike smiled at her and said something to her. Grace answered and the guys started yelling at Mike to hurry up so he said bye and went back to the game. Grace walked back to the field awkwardly. Audree's eyes were in a cold stare and her jaw was seriously clenched. The rest of the game Audree was purposely trying to kill Grace. She pushed her down and jumped over her and kept dribbling the ball in between her feet. Grace cringed when she jumped over her. I thought couch was going to blow the whistle and say that Grace gets a free kick, but apparently she was enjoying the torture going on, on the field. In the locker rooms Audree walked right past Grace not even glancing at her. Grace put a pitiful expression, looked down, and continued changing. I felt bad for Grace. First day and she's already being bullied by someone, and that someone is my friend! I can't imagine what Audree did to her in other classes. I immediately saw myself in the girl. In sixth grade I was extremely shy. I couldn't even answer teachers questions of "How are you?" without  vomiting. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but it didn't get me friends either. Instead it brought me bullies. Of course Jasmine was the cool, friendly person who was everyone's friend got ticked when I told her and told them off. After that I got over being so shy. I didn't want anyone to experience that while I knew about it. At home I was determined to talk to Audree about it alone. And when I did...
   "Jamie your good in science help me out here." Audree said as we sat at the dinning table doing homework
   "You usually are very good in science." I said leaning to her
   "Uh, yeah..." she stuttered "I was distracted in class, I didn't hear the lesson."
   "Is Grace in your science class?" I asked, her fist clenched as I said her name
   "Who?" she pretended not to know
   "You know who," I said "That new girl with the blond hair. You can't take your deadly eyes off her."
   "I haven't stared at anyone today," Audree said guessing answers on her page
   "Audree I saw you in P.E. you were trying to kill her!"
   "I wasn't. I'm just competitive."
   "No, I've seen you competitive, and you are never like that."
Audree shook her head.
   "Audree your bulling the poor girl. She's new. Cut her some slack."
Audree's eyes were burning. "Since when was she your best friend?"
   "She's not. I just don't like it when I see someone being bullied."
Audree got up from her seat holding back with all her strength the tears. "Fine," she collected her books "I wont bully her anymore. For your sake." she left to her room and I knew the moment the door slammed she locked it.
 

What I know

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.

Realization

 So I will continue on what happened after we realized our parents could have possibly worked together. We asked each other where we lived before moving here. Coincidentally, we all moved around alot and before we moved around alot we were all living in the same state and area! Its weird how we never have seen each other before. :-o  When we told Audree on Friday at school she suggested we ask Ms. about it. Of course we were all scared to ask. I mean, the lady does look pretty mean...even though, she really isn't, but still! Since Philip has been living with her the longest we only thought it would be practical he ask her about it. On Saturday morning when Ms. went out to buy groceries we all sat at the table surrounding Philip who who was reading a book and starting asking questions.
   "So, what did Ms. say when you asked her?" asked Tony
Philip held his gaze on the book, but lifted his head up so we would know he at least heard him. After about five years he looked up at us.
   "Yes...?" he asked puzzled...I guess he didn't hear Tony's question.
   "Did you talk to her?" asked Jasmine irritated
   "Well..." he went on
   "Dude, don't tell me you chickened out." Tony smiled
   "You were the one who said you didn't want to talk to her first!" Philip complained
   "So, you didn't talk to her?" I asked
Philip took a while to respond. We all leaned in carefully.
   "Ok, I did speak with her," he said finally, we all sighed with relief "But, she didn't give me much...in fact she barely gave me anything!"
   "Ok! Ok!" Jasmine cried "What did she give you?"
   "Well...I asked Ms. how she knew my parents and she said they were just business friends a long time ago."
   "How long?" asked Audree
   "She didn't say. I asked about everyone else's parents and she got suspicious and started asking me why I was so curious and I panicked after that. So...she said she was going to talk to all of us."
   "Oh, God..." Tony said slumping back on the couch "I'm not in the mood to get a speech. I already got one from Ms. Hagrety."
I could understand his frustration. Ms. Hagrety is an old lady who is our history teacher. She gives speeches for every little thing and, I've only known her for a couple weeks now and its already annoying. For instance the bell rings and someone gets up to sharpen their pencil.
 Ms. Hagrety: Class, this is ridiculous! Folks, we have been in school for nine months and you still can't  get it right. Before class you need to have already a sharpen pencil and be prepared. Now because you fail to be prepared, you have the whole class waiting on you. I will not have it. If you keep this up your going to be unprepared and slow the rest of your life and won't get into a good college, and you'll be making minimum wage and saying "Would you like fries with that?" for the rest of your life. And let me tell you, minimum wage is not gonna cut it...it's just not. Not with this economy. So, folks you need to get it together.
I am not even kidding. That is exactly what she does. She also has this obsession with note cards. She makes us write questions on the front of them and the answers to the back to study with. Already she's suggesting we have about 1000 note cards! Is she kidding?! No. She never kids. I know her being hard on us will help in the future but...chill out. I'm smart enough not to end up at McDonald's. Then she goes on and on about colleges and how it's so important to have note cards and to study and she always calls us folks. Folks this and folks that. I wanna folks her face!....which makes no sense. :-o  There is no other teacher like her on earth. Bet me if you want cause I know she's the only one.
Moving on, at dinner it was pretty quiet. I guess we were all waiting for Ms. to talk to us, but it wasn't happening...maybe she forgot. I considered this and I nudged Philip next to me. He looked at me nervously. I put a face telling him to do it and he sighed.
   "So, heh heh," Philip started "Ms. you said you wanted to talk to us?"
We all looked at her. She lifted her head up from her food and looked at us confused.
   "Did I say that?" she said and went back to eating
   "Yes!" we all said at the same time
Ms. looked back at all of us surprised, then raised an eye brow.
   "I just wanted to say that, you should all stop worrying about your parents. They did the right thing by sending you here. Your safe here. Your parents are completely safe from-" we all looked at her expectantly "Nothing...I'm finished. Just sop poking your nose where it's not meant to be." she got up "Finish eating. Your Americans, that's what you do right?" she left taking her plate and right before she left the room she said "Right,"
Now we all know she knows something. She knows that we were all once in danger...and still are.

Truth...

So sorry i haven't posted in a while. Things pile up. Last week was very interesting. I feel the gang and I have a mystery  on our hands. It started last Wednesday. I was in my first period and my teacher hands out papers that talk about a mother's day fundraiser happening on Friday. Well that had me thinking about my mom all day and it got worse in PE when I wasn't paying attention and the volley ball hit me in the face. >:\  When I got in the van Ms. picks us up in it seemed everyone was upset. I hadn't noticed it all day. I was too soaked up in my own sorrow. Tony wasn't cracking jokes and flirting as usual, Mike wasn't talking smack about the teachers, Audree wasn't agreeing with Mike and worst...Jasmine...wasn't staring at Tony! :0 She was staring out the window with a droopy expression. Philip was doing his homework in the van, which was normal but he seemed on edge. I knew why Jasmine was upset. It was the parent night letter, it reminded her of mom as well. I could figure out why the other were upset though...We couldn't have been upset over the same things...could we? When we got home and changed I decided to find out for myself. I was going to go into Audree's room but the door was locked. I was about to knock when Mike touched my shoulder and shook his head.
   "What's wrong with her?" I asked
   "She always gets really upset when someone mentions parents or when the school hands out papers indicating them." Mike explained
   "Oh, she got the mother's day thing too, huh?"
   "Everyone did..."
   "What'd you do with it?"
   "I tossed it. I...I don't have a mom."
He tried to sound tough when he said that but, I knew it hurt him somewhere deep. It had to. Mike led me to the living room where everyone except Audree and Ms. were. Jasmine looked up when she saw me.
   "Did you talk to Audree?" she asked
I shook my head sadly.
   "She looked really bad when we got home."
   "Yeah..." Mike said throwing himself on one of the couches
I took my normal position on the floor facing Jasmine.
   "So..." Jasmine said "How did you guys end up with Ms. anyway?"
An awkward five minutes went by and Mike cleared his throat.
   "My dad had home schooled me and he was never very...studecy. So he gave Ms. a call and she said I could go back to school here. Next thing I knew I had a plane ticket and I was out of there."
He tried to make it sound like he didn't care one way or another but, I knew how he really felt. Tony rubbed the back of his neck and agreed.
   "Same here. My mom called Ms."
   "Huh," Jasmine said curiously
   "What about you Philip?" I asked looking up at him
He shifted uncomfortably when he realized everyone was staring at him.
   "Uh..." he stuttered "M-my story is pretty similar to theirs...I guess."
   "Guess?" Jasmine raised her eyebrow, she was now starting to get nosy
   "Well, my parents were really smart, so they had no trouble home schooling me...It's just..."
I could tell he really wasn't interested in giving his back story. Or maybe something had gone wrong relationship wise with his parents and they shipped him here.
   "What did your parents do for a living?" asked Jasmine, I wanted to punch her in the arm and say stop being so nosy but I didn't have the guts.
   "My mother was a research associate and my dad was a scientist for this...company"
   "Our parents were scientist too!" I smiled, now I was interested, Philip smiled back at me but I lowered my gaze after a moment
   "So, how did our parents know to send us all here?" asked Tony, for once he was asking some non-flirty, educated questions! :O
   "My parents said she was an old college from work." Philip stated
   "All our parents couldn't have known her that way." Mike said finally interested in the conversation
   "The likely hood of that being, is..." Philip looked like he was calculating in his head
   "Unlikely," Jasmine chimed in trying to sound smart :P  Philip half smile at her comment.
Was it possible all our parent knew Ms.  because they worked together? And if they did work together didn't that mean our parents could have possibly known each other?
   "What did your parents do Mike?" I turned to him
   "My dad was a security guard fir this place and my mom worked there too as a super adviser."
   "What place?"
   "Uh...I wasn't sopost to know my parent would say. I was never really into it any way."
   "My mom was a secretary and said she wasn't allowed to tell me where she worked." Tony said
   "Odd, my parents said the same thing to me." Philip pondered
   "Us too," Jasmine said, she was right. The reason I never really told much about my mom's business was because I didn't know! I'm not sure if she was fired or what happened. All I know is that in the end...it cost my fathers life. That's as much as mom would tell us.
   "I wonder..." thought Philip
If only we had gotten the truth from our parents.

First Two Days

Sorry for not completely ending my Spring Break part thing I was doing. The last one was going to be called "Spring Break- Part 3 The Epic Conclusion" Unfortentually, I was unable to do so beacuse Ms. was preparing Jasmine and I for school. She gave us all our nessesary tools and our scheduels. I only have two classes with Jasmine, and one class with Tony and Philip. PE has all the grades combined which is sad for all the freshman who havent hit puperty yet. They get completely crushed by the bigger kids. Especially seinors. Tony and Philip are seinors, and Mike is a sophmore (even though I thought he was older because he's so tall) and Audree is a freshman. Jasmine and I are jouiners. My classes are interesting, the students are peppy and the food is not as good as homemade but is ok. I heard other schools has disgusting lunch. Since this is a high class, private school, I guess the food has to be the same too. The first day was torture when I was trying to figure out where to sit. There are 30 kids. Thats alot of kids to me. I barely knew ay of them. Luckly I found asmine sittig with Audree and a table of a couple people I knew from other classes. Today it was eaiser to fid them. Tony sits with all the "popular" kids which are the dumb kids basically. They are SUPER peppy and loud. The guys at the table are stupid, for example...
The time when they tried to smack as many girls butts as possible.
"Ow!" said one of my friends as the guys surrounding us nailed her as a target.
My other friends panicked and ran around as we were being chased. "It's not safe anywhere!" one cried. Yet another moment where I was running for my life. They didn't get me, of course. :] Anyway, I guess I actually liked school. Even though the whole school right now is having punishment for that disaster with the butts yesterday. Some first and second day,huh? Think it could get any crazier?

Spring Break-Part 2

Tonights movie night! :D  The gang and I (even Ms.) are all here in the living room getting ready to watch a movie. I still dont know what we are are watching. Ms. said its a really good one. No one but her knows what she put in. Ms. is on the couch next to Philip, Audree is layed out on the other couch, Mike is snug in one of the cunfy chairs and Jasmine is in the other. Leaving me and Tony to the lovely floor. (at least the carpet is soft) He is laying next to me (about 5 feet away to be spesific) I'm sitting up typing to you! :}  The rest of the week has been pretty good so far. Jasmine gave a beautiful performance yesterday when she was watching Tony make a smoothie.
-yesterday 12:23-
"Hey, guys. Are any of you gnna want any smoothie?" asked Tony while he searched for bananas in the pantry
"Sounds good," said Mike playing cards with Audree
"Yeah I want some too," she said not even looking up from her cards
Jasmine and I were seated on high chairs watching Tony right infront of us put down the bananas and set up the blending machine.
"Does Spicy and Saucy wany any?" he asked smiling at us
I wanted to say no but Jasmine insisted we have. Tony put the fruit and juice in and told Jasmine to blend it for a few seconds while he went to go get ice. Jasmine and I have never made a smoothie before, add that to the fact that she was staring at him the whole time and not paying attention to what she was doing. She pressed blend before putting the lid on. Of corse smoothie went splattering all over us. We both screamed like maniacs and Tony ran over to turn it off. It didnt matter though, Jasmine and I were already covered in smothie from our face to the mid part of our shirts. I looked at her with my harsh cold stare and she nervously smiled at me. Philip came down stairs then...
"I heard a blender! Is Tony making a smoothie...?" he stopped and looked confused at Jasmine and I, he smiled "Well...don't you two look fruity."
Thats when everyone started laughing.
-present-
The movie started and we are watching Pride and Predjudice. A classic. Although I would have much perfered X-Men. Philip looked really happy when we found out we are watching Pride and Predudice. Everyone one else groaned and Ms. said...
"Ah, shut up! You wouldn't know classic if you were eatin it!"
She thinks all Americans do is eat. So not true! *eats some popcorn* Ok I'm not gonna lie I kinda like this movie. Farwell!
