"I'm sorry, Sir, but what did you just say?" Pauline askes not really believing what she just heard. "You have a brother. His name is JD Bennett and he lives here. Right here in this town." The man said friendly and looked at her with shining eyes.
"So his name is JD Bennett?" She whispered and looked down at her hands. She was shocked! The boy, one of the adopted children of the Bennetts the family she lived with was her own natural brother. The boy who just caught her in the shower this morning. It was strange and somehow it frightened her and made her endlessly happy at the same time.
"Thank you, Sir! It was really nice to talk to you." Pauline said shyly as she got up from her seat. He got up as well and shook her hand. "No problem, here you have my card. I think it would be the best if you come back on Monday, so we can think about a new family for you!" He said and handed her the card. She quickly read it and then looked back at him. "Thanks again, Mr. Norris." She smiled at him and he waved at her as she left the room.
Where did she had to go? To the libraray! There she would meet Eric, Bunji and their girlfriends and her new brother. Actually he wasn't even new, but she felt like that. She had always dreamed of having any brothers or sisters. And suddenly she had an older brother. This is a weird world! She thought and shook her head as she walked into teh direction of the library.
"This is so boring!" Bunji moaned and leaned back in his chair. "We've been in the library for over 3 houres now and haven't found anything good for our project!" He said bored and looked at Momo who just giggled at her boyfriend. Josephine sighed and looked at them through her glasses. It was really frustratuing. "If you really search for something you will find it. But this will be impossible for you, because you never wanted to search for something!" She turned her head to look at Sarah and Eric. "And that's much more difficult if I always have my tongue in someone's neck!" She said more angrily. Sarah and eric parted quickly and blushed a little, because some people where looking at them. Momo and Bunji started giggling and Jd smiled at his girlfriend. "Josephine that wasn't fair! Aren't we allowed to have some fun?" Sarah hissed a little angry too. "Yes, you are allowed, but not in the library and not when we work on an important project for school. But what am I saying. We? I better say JD and me!" She was getting much more angry and she was a very passionat person. And when she felt like she was treated unfair she reacted hard. "I'm sorry *Miss School-best* that I destroyed your nice learn-till-you-are-bored-day!" Sarah said and had her arms in front of her chest. That was too much. Josephine jumped up and gathered her things together in her bag. Everyone exchanged worried looks, except Sarah and josephine. JD got up and laied his hands dow on her shoulders. "Please Jo, please stay, this was a little stupid situation, but we can't go on without you!" he said softly and kissed her neck lightly. He knew that she loved that, but this time she was so angry that she didn't seem to notice it. "But it really looks like you have to!" She said as she turned around and faced her boyfriend. "And you allow this uneducated cow to insult me!" Everyone looked at sarah, who seemed to explode any second. "UNEDUCATED COW??? Who do you think you are Mrs. Right! You are nothing more than a frustrated school and grates loving witch who wants attention for her good work and who always wants to be right! You don't even have a life, you just live for this fucking school and nothing else!" Sarah screamed at her and many people were now watching this scene. Josephine looked at her quietly. She thought that Sarah had been a real friend to her, but it looked like she was wrong. "If you think about me like this, you never knew me! It's true that I work hard for school, but I do this to get the chance to help other people. I can't study medicin with bad grades! I can't work at a children-hospital or labour with bad grades. And I can't get good grades when I'm on parties all the time or away from home! And I think it was a mistake to work in a group with you, because you don't want to help me, amking my dreams come true!" She said in a calme voice and as she finished everything was quiet. Josephine looked at her friends some minutes longer before she took her bag and walked out of the library.
"that was so unnessecary Sarah!" Momo shouted at her not caring about the other people. "who can you say something like this to her. We know that she always concerned about school, but was it right to be so mean to her?" Sarah opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She saw the reproachful faces of her friends and suddenly felt guilty. Tears formed in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Ok! Do you get that? I'm really sorry!" She said trying not to cry. "I think it had been a stressfull day for all of us! Let's end this for today!" JD said as he nodded to his brothers.
Pauline arrived at the library and walked up the stairs. All of a sudden she found herself on the floor and her bag next to her. All her things were on the stairs. "Oh shit!" She said and started taking them back into her bag. "Oh, I'm really sorry, I didn't know where I was going! Come on, I'll help you!" A female voice said and she handed the things back to Pauline. "Thank you!" Pauline said and smiled at the girl. "No problem at least it was my fault! do you want to go to a cafe with me or do you have to work here?" Pauline was happy that she found someone who wanted to talk to her and she looked really nice. And JD and the others could wait. "Sure I want!" She answered happily and the girl gave her a happy smile. "That's nice, I'm Josephine!" She said and held out her hand. "I'm Pauline nice to meet you!"
