Cassie
"Where do you think Tobias and Rachel went?" I asked Marco as we crossed the street.
He pointed skywards. "Does that answer your question?"
I craned my neck and looked up. A bald eagle and a red-tailed hawk were soaring the skies. I wanted to join them, to feel that freedom, but I couldn't be bothered morphing.
"You reckon Jake would mind that I'm walking with you…alone?" Marco asked seductively.
I laughed. "At the moment, I don't think Jake could care," I said. I paused, not wanting to sound desperate in what I was about to say. "Who are Ed, Mark and Nathan?"
Marco looked sideways at me. "They're bullies," he said simply. "They were always nice to Jake because I suppose they were scared of him, not that he'd do anything. They're not the type of people you'd want to be friends with."
I fell silent. I didn't want to know what these people got up to in their spare time.
We neared closer to Marco's house.
"Are you going to follow him?" I asked at last.
"No," he said truthfully.
"Rachel and Tobias have given up on him," I said. "You're not giving up on him too?"
"I'm giving up on nobody," he said. "But he's not exactly acting Mr. Perfect right about now."
"He lost his dad," I exclaimed. "He was right there."
"Yeah and I sympathise with him," Marco said. "I know what it's like to lose someone."
"But…?"
"But
nothing," he said.
"So why aren't you going to follow him?" I pressed.
"Come
on Cassie," he said, smiling. "How could I spy on my best
friend?"
We reached his house and he walked in. I continued on
towards my barn.
Author's Note Okay, I know this is a really small chapter but I couldn't think of anything! Sorry:D But since it's holidays down here in Aussie, or at least my part of Australia, I've got nothing to do a majority of the time coz my friends are on holiday somewhere and have left me behind (thanks a lot guys!), so I'll be doing a lot of updating and maybe even finish it! Yay! Woo hoo! Yeah that's enough. So thanks to all my reviewers!
