For some reason, Jazzie wasn't ignoring me anymore. I thought that maybe it was because I didn't know who McFLY and his brother were. If I had a famous brother –because this band seemed to be really popular around here-, I would suspect people was being friendly with me just because of him and you become to close yourself, you cant trust people.
Whatever the reason was, the girl was talking to me in whispers during the whole Math class. I usually would had been annoyed because of this, I was one of those quiet students who listened to their teachers while the whole class is going wild, but after seeing the way those girls treated her… I just had the feeling I wasn't the only loner around here.
"I'm kind of new here too" she said "I moved from Corringham about 2 years ago"
"Why?"
"Well, we are quite close in my family, and my mother and I missed my brother, who had moved to London when he joined the band. So we decided to move too."
"Do you like it here?"
"I guess… I mean, London's great, but I miss my friends now. Do you miss yours?"
"I… I kind of didn't have friends" I grew up as a ghost, as I described myself. I couldn't let anyone near me because I could put them at risk. That was over now, but changing was difficult, I didn't know how to make friends.
"You are shy, aren't you?" Jazzie said.
"Yes, I am" I said, and looked at the professor, avoiding her look. I wasn't use to have people staring at me yet, it was weird for me.
I could see her smiling from the corner of my eye. Jazzie had a kind of rebel, fun look, a girl who liked to party, to have fun, and she was also nice, friendly... I thought I knew what kind of people she disliked… Obviously, she didn't like the arrogant, silly people… Like Julie and her friends.
I asked Susan about this band McFLY. Even she, an adult with a daughter, knew about them! As I sat down in the ground to play with Elizabeth, she turned on the TV and started searching for them in any channel so as to show me who they were, but she couldn't find them anywhere, which she said was weird. I would have google them but we didn't have a computer in the house. So I still had no clue who McFLY were, and I wasn't going to be researching about them either, I didn't want to disappoint Jazzie, I could tell she didn't like having people ask her about her brother. She did talk about them though… I'm a good listener, I was just quiet as she talked to me, I was also trying to catch up with whatever the professor what saying, but Jazz talked a lot. She talked a lot about how funny they were, she loved someone call Danny's jokes.
"Do you have plans for this afternoon?" she asked me on Friday, a while before leaving school.
"Not really… Though I was planning to finish Twilight today"
"Well, it will have to wait. I'm going to a band's rehearsal today, do you want to come?"
"Which band is it?"
"My brother's band"
I heard Kate sighed… She obviously was dying to go in my place, but I bet Jazzie wouldn't invite her even if it was a matter of life or death.
"I should ask Jackson" I said.
"Who?"
"My adopted father"
"You are adopted? Is that why you moved?"
Oh, no, damn, I shouldn't have told her that! Stupid Ally!
"Yes" I lied. Yes, I am adopted now, kind of, they are just keeping me until I'm 18, but I can do whatever I want actually. But no, that's not why I moved.
"Well, this is my number" she gave me a little piece of paper with her phone number on it "Call me before 6pm. If he let's you go, we'll pick you up, mum's driving me there"
I nodded… I'm going to meet McFLY.
