Chapter five, the medicine can
"Ehm, My name is Emma" I said to the black-haired boy who stood in front of me. "Who are you"
"I´m Gus Carmichael" The boy said. "Is Emma your real name"
"No" I said "actually it is Emilia, Emilia Peterson"
"How do you spell your name?" Gus asked.
"Why do you need to know that" I asked, kind of confused.
"Just tell him" Johnny said "He won´t stop until you tell him"
"Alright" I said "It´s E-M-M-A P-E-T-E-R-S-O-N."
"Good" Gus said, writing it down it a notebook.
"Emma" someone said behind me, and I turned around. And recognized it was Mike.
"I´ve got your sheets," he said "and I wonder if you could follow me to your room, so I could get to talk to you for a minute before dinner starts."
I nodded and followed Mike to my room.
When I had closed my door, Mike started talking.
"I hoped to get to know you a little bit better. If you think that there´s anything I need to know"
"Well, what do you want to know?" I asked, starting to unpack of my trunk.
"How old you are maybe?"
"I´m turning twelve in a few weeks and I´ve got a question for you." I said "Will I go to school of what´s left of the term?"
"Not if you don´t want to." Mike said. "It´s just three weeks left"
I nodded
"Is it my time to ask now?" Mike asked and laughed "Why are you limping?"
"My leg got badly burned in the crash that killed my family. And I don't wanna talk about that." I said
Mike nodded. Then suddenly a medicine can fell out of my pocket. I didn´t recognize so Mike picked it up.
"What´s this" he asked and I turned around.
"Look." I said nervously "I´ve got this disease…."
