~Taylor's POV~

Let's just say that hanging around in the kitchen with Mariana and Jesus was becoming a normal thing for me now. The thing that wasn't normal about this one time though was that Lena had just walked in with a new girl in tow. My first thought was what the heck is she doing here? My second thought was that the whole tough girl act was cute and my third thought was that I hated her. "So you two are dykes?" She had blurted to Stef and Lena that's when I decided I didn't like her. Now I'm just sitting here doing dishes with Stef in silence. "I don't like her." I mumble under my breath to Stef. Stef just sighs and looks at me, "She's been in a lot of foster homes, she's going to be cold." I just nod but I wasn't exactly thrilled with the conversation and it's outcome. I finish the dishes and slipped upstairs to get started on my homework and then do my nails for tomorrow. I am slowly painting the green watching the paint cover the natural color of my nail disappear under the paint. It seems weird to hide something as natural as my nails when if I think about it when I first arrived here I didn't even bother hiding my bruises. I guess I'm gonna wipe this off. I can't believe how red I still look in the mirror, I turned bright red when Brandon gave me that who is this? your girlfriend? look. Sometimes it was like people in this house could read my minds exactly when I didn't want them to. When I saw Brandon quickly look at Callie I kicked him, though I missed him. I was slightly impressed that he thought I could get such a girl to date me and so quickly but at the same time the fact that he was checking her out frustrated me. "Hey you ready for bed?" Mariana asks me. I shrug, "Sure." It's been a long day and tomorrow at school will be even longer, to bad I'm not tired so I'll be up all night anyways.

Sitting in bed and trying to fall asleep I hear Mariana get up from bed and check if I was asleep. I pretend to be and wait to see what Mariana was going to do. She slowly opened the door and started to slip down the stairs. I decided to follow her. I noticed that Mariana was slipping some of Jesus' ADHD pills into her pocket and I sighed, "Oh Mari come on don't do that." I was taken by surprise when Mariana began to talk to Callie who was standing on the other side of the room. The moonlight through the window hit her just perfectly. Callie just shrugged and walked into the other room. Mariana slipped back upstairs without seeing me and I walked over to the living room. Callie was speaking quickly and frantically on the phone to someone. Jude, she keep repeating. When she finally hung up, I stepped out of the shadows, "I'm new here too." Callie looks at me and just nods. "If you wanted to hang with me I mean." I finished lamely. Callie just nods and quickly turns away.

I decided to go back to my room and slip into bed telling Mariana I was in the bathroom so I didn't have to explain that I saw her with the pills My mind on the other hand was still trying to figure out what Callie's story was and why I was so intrigued by it. But for now it was just an invitation to talk to me.
