-High School: A Tale Of Two Friends-
As you all know, the characters are not mine. And I am truly sorry for the lack of updates…
Give me just a little bit of hope
With a smile or a glance
Give me one more chance
"Mom?" Greg said, poking his head into the kitchen. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Cora looked up from the pot of soup she was making for dinner. "Sure, honey." She replied, setting the oven before following her son.
"Did you see the newspaper? The one with the report about Sara?" he asked, stopping at his bedroom door.
"Yes, I did. I wonder where she could be."
Greg bit his lip, his hand on the door knob. "Ugh, mom…. Sara's here…" he swallowed, opening the door to reveal Sara.
"Gregory Hojem Sanders." Cora growled, turning to face her son.
He knew he was in trouble with the use of his entire name. "Mom, you don't understand." He said, trying to hold off the oncoming rant long enough to defend their actions. "Her foster dad was going to get rid of her! There was nothing else we could do!"
His mother was quiet, whether that was good or bad, Sara had no idea.
Apparently it lay somewhere in the middle.
They watched her take a deep breath. "I cannot believe you two. Whatever ridiculous conclusion the two of you came to was completely… ridiculous!" It was about now that Cora discovered that her scolding them made absolutely no sense and sighed. "So, spill it."
Greg swallowed, sitting beside Sara on his bed. "It's a long story…"
"Dad!" Greg said, greeting the man at the doorway. "You're home!"
"Nice observation…" His father, Braden said, eyeing his son curiously.
Greg bit his lip following him into the kitchen to where dinner sat, ready.
"Wait a minute. One, two, three, four, five…?" he pointed to himself, then his wife, then to his son and daughter before his eyes rested on Sara. "Aren't you the girl that got reported missing this morning?"
"Her name's Sara, Dad…" Greg said, taking a seat beside her.
Braden reluctantly sat down. "Would someone care to let me in on what's going on?"
Cora nodded, "Sara is going to be staying with us." She informed her husband, matter-of-factly.
"What?" he replied, his glass of water stopping halfway to his mouth.
"Dad," Greg interrupted. "Sara hasn't been missing, she ran away from her foster parents when she heard them talking. They were going to get rid of her."
Sara nodded, suddenly finding the ground very interesting.
"It's true." Cora said. "I called her foster parents and they were planning to send her away. I offered to take her in and they had no objections."
Braden was currently not a happy camper. "Would you three go outside, please?" he asked, though it didn't sound like a question. Greg, Sara, and Kasey quickly obeyed, heading out the back door.
Okay…. I updated something! Be amazed! I actually have a very small clue as to where this is going but… it's still brewing, so bear with me on that… I am sorry for lack of updates on… well… everything… but writers block, combined with the lack of Sandle is killing my plot bunnies… Anyway, Review!
