Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've been spending time with family. Thank you, KeroNya and ., for your reviews! Welcome back, TeamEthanMorgan! All of your reviews are amazing!
Ethan was surprised that he didn't get a vision when he shook Jane's hand. That must mean that she's normal. However, normal doesn't exactly explain the way she acts. She seems to act nervous all the time and doesn't like to maintain eye contact with people. That didn't seem normal to him. He didn't get it. Maybe he should tell her that he had been researching things about her. That probably wasn't a good idea considering that she had gotten angry at Benny just because he had called her baby. Benny calls every girl baby. It's just how he is. He likes to think of himself as a player even though he has no game whatsoever. Of course he couldn't tell him that. Maybe he should find Jane and apologize for the way Benny acted. He decided that that was probably the right thing to do even though she kind of scared him with her constantly shifting mood swings. It must be a woman thing. Sarah sometimes acts like that too. Sometimes, women just scare him. Speaking of scary women, he saw Jane walking quickly down the sidewalk. He ran to catch up with her. She was walking so fast that he had run out of breath when he finally reached her.
"Hello," Jane said staring at him in confusion. "Are you okay?"
"Hi," Ethan said once his breath was regained. "You're hard to catch up with."
"My parents always said that I walk fast," Jane replied.
"They're not kidding," Ethan said. A dreaded awkward silence followed.
"Do you need something," Jane finally asked.
"I was just wondering why you stormed out of the cafeteria earlier," Ethan said anxiously waiting for an answer.
"I have quite a temper," Jane said. "Sorry if I scared you."
"I think you scared Benny pretty badly," Ethan said. "Although he seemed fine when he ate the rest of your lunch. I hope that was okay."
"That's fine," Jane said. "I thought he would eat it anyway."
"That's Benny," Ethan said. "What were you angry about?"
"You don't need to worry about it," Jane said backing away from him.
"If you're Sarah's friend, you're my friend as well," Ethan said. "You can tell me."
"It's something personal," Jane said trying to throw a hint for him to drop it.
"You can trust us," Ethan said trying to reassure her.
"You're wrong," Jane said a little angry. "I can't trust anyone."
"Why is that," Ethan asked extremely curious now.
"Keep your nose in your own business," Jane said extremely angry. "Stay out of mine."
While Jane was walking away, Ethan hadn't prepared for the next thing that had come out his mouth.
"I did some research on you," Ethan said making Jane stop in her tracks. She turned around slowly.
"What did you find," Jane asked, anger practically flowing out of every word.
"Just an article about you winning some kind of award," Ethan said a little scared. This girl could be quite intimidating. He noticed her sigh in relief.
"Good," Jane said more to herself than him.
"Your name isn't Jane, is it," Ethan asked.
"If you found that article, then obviously you know," Jane said, the anger returning.
"I didn't mean to make you mad," Ethan said. "I was just curious."
"Curiosity might just end up killing you," Jane said anger taking complete control of her words.
"Was that a threat," Ethan asked trying to stand his ground as best as he could.
"I'm sure you can figure it out," Jane said. Jane walked up to him trying to make herself more intimidating. It was working.
"Don't ever research anything about me again," Jane said. She tried to look angry, but Ethan saw pure fear in her eyes. She doesn't want something found out about her.
"Okay," Ethan said.
"Don't tell anyone else, please," Jane begged tears forming in her eyes. He was very confused with her sudden mood swing.
"I won't," Ethan said.
"I'm sorry I drove you away," Jane said walking away. "I'm sure you would have been a great friend."
Ethan didn't know how to reply to that. Something was seriously wrong with this girl. The only thing way that he could find out is more research, but he told Jane that he wouldn't do any research. Then again, he told her that he wouldn't do any more research. This mission calls for Benny. Man, he thought to himself, I am a nerd. I'm a nerd that doesn't understand women at all.
Jane ran home tears streaming down her face. When she got inside the house, she slammed the door shut. She called her mother's name loudly. Her mom finally appeared. She ran right up to her once she saw her tear stained face. She pulled her into a hug.
"What happened," her mom asked worried.
"We have to move," Jane said.
"Why," her mother asked even more worried.
"They're going to find out about me," Jane said crying even more.
"Who," her mother asked.
"My friends," Jane replied.
"How do you know that," her mom asked.
"They're doing research on me," Jane said. "I'm not a science experiment, mom. I'm a human being."
"Maybe you should go down to the basement and cool down," her mother proposed. Jane pulled away from the hug.
"You never listen to me," Jane said angrily. She ran into the basement and locked the door behind her. She immediately got the tools that she needed and started working on her project. Her goal was to finish tonight, but she knew that was impossible. Why couldn't they just leave her alone? This all started when she had started a conversation with Sarah. If she hadn't done that, she wouldn't be in the situation she was in now. Maybe having friends wasn't such a good thing after all.
