CHAPTER 6
"Hey Tar, hungry?" She looked over at Trudy who has holding out a bowl of dry cereal for her to take. Tara just nodded and took the bowl. "What's up with her?" Trudy thought to herself. She knew Tara and Bray had gotten in another fight this morning, but that was nothing uncommon. But the look on her face was like... like... Trudy couldn't put her finger on it. "Maybe Bray really let her have it this time" she contemplated the thought, then discarded it. She looked at the younger girl who had taken her spot at the table with Lex on one side, and an empty seat on the other, which should be Bray.
"Where's Bray at?" Trudy asked the group sitting around the table, even though the only one who could really answer for sure would be Tara. Tara just shrugged her shoulders and stated "He'll probably be up in a little while." "You didn't beat him up too badly did you?" asked Lex asked jokingly. Tara just looked at him and shot him a weak smile, before going back to her cereal. "Hey, kid, are you ok?" asked Pride "You look like death warmed over" Tara's head shot up at the word 'death' "What did you say?" she snapped at him. "Whoa, calm down, I just wanted to know if you're ok. We could hear you and Bray seriously yelling all the way up here, and then you come up here looking like you've seen a ghost or something, and I was just a little concerned. All right?" Pride's tone of voice on his last two words was pretty stern, and Tara decided maybe it was time to lighten up.
"Oh, ya, sorry. Um... I just got in pretty late last night, as you already know, and I'm really tired, just been zoning a bit. I'll probably be less 'out of it' later this afternoon when I really wake up." Tara looked Pride strait in the eye and was very grateful she was so good at lying. "Why don't you go take a nap, and we'll wake you up if anything important happens" Trudy told Tara. "Thanks Trudy, I'll do that. See you guys later."
She started to walk towards the room that she shared with Bray when she heard Lex call for her. She turned around to see what he wanted when she remembered that Bray was still down in their room. "Why don't you use my room for a while, Bray probably wants some peace." "Thanks Lex!" Tara shouted before heading off in the direction of his room. "Oh and if anybody sees Jack, tell him I need to talk to him, please!" She yelled back in the direction of the café. "No problem!" was the response she heard before walking through the door to Lex's room, collapsing on his bed, and falling asleep.
