Less than thirty minutes later, everything was settling down in the Kirkland house. Arthur was in the kitchen, preparing dinner, Charlie, Wy and Marie were all staying over at friends and Peter had left to the neighbors again. Logan was up in his room and I (after finishing my one homework in English) sat with my knees up in the large sofa and watched Amber and Dal skating through the abandoned city towards ChloƩ. I had no idea how many times I had seen this episode in particular but I never tired. Zoot and his pack of scum were just leaving when Logan came down the stairs. He frowned when he noticed me on the sofa.

"So you finally decided to come back home." He spat but plopped down next to me nonetheless.

"It's not like you never disappear for a few days. " I grumbled back while turning up the volume of the TV. Logan ignored my statement.

"It's not like you to get called to a teacher's office."

"That does sound more like you." I snapped back, staring intently on Salene to keep my temper.

"I bet it's because you've started hanging out with commies and freaks."

"Isn't your boyfriend also commie?" I hissed keeping my eyes trained on the future tribe as they headed towards the mall.

Logan growled but it didn't faze me.

"I'm not some disgusting faggot you twit. And neither is Esteban. "

"You never denied him being a commie." I said, smirking as I recognized the hands of Jack on the TV screen.

Just then Arthur entered shutting us both up.

"I'm going to ignore what I heard in here and pretend it never happened, hoping this will be a onetime thing. Dinners ready."

He turned again and we followed leaving Lex, Zandra and Ryan to themselves.
