Chapter Eight
At the Brotherhood House
School had let out for the day and Jennifer was walking down the steps of Bayville High School when Pietro, Lance, Toad and Freddy gathered around her.
"Hi guys," she said and gave Lance a quick side hug.
Lance returned the gesture but kept his hand on her waist.
"You wanna come to our place now?" he asked, looking down at her.
Jennifer nodded.
"Come on yo!" Toad called as he hopped down the street toward the Brotherhood house.
"That's where you live?" Jennifer asked, they had reached the boarding house and Jennifer was staring open mouthed at the dilapidated building before her.
"Yup, home sweet home," Toad sang as he hopped past her and up the front steps and to hold the door open for her.
Jennifer thanked him and walked into the front room and stare around at the crummy house.
"Jees, this place makes home look like the Plaza," she thought as Lance led her up the creaky wooden stairs to her new bedroom.
"Sorry, the door's stuck," Lance grunted as he struggled with the jammed door.
"Oops!" he exclaimed as he pulled the door forcefully off its hinges.
"I'd like my room with a door please," Jennifer giggled as Lance set the door on its side in the hall.
Lance shrugged and walked into the room.
Her room looked no different than the rest of the house, the wallpaper was peeling, the bed sagged in the middle, and the window pane was broken in three places.
"Its nice," Jennifer said cheerfully as she set her bookbag near the doorway.
"Thought you'd say that," Lance smirked as he started to walk away.
"Wait!" Jennifer cried.
Lance turned around and stared at her.
"I need to get some stuff from my old place, if thats okay?" she asked.
"Sure," Lance shrugged and he continued down the stairs.
Jennifer sighed with relief and followed him down the stairs.
Stay tuned!
