Chapter five
"HOUSE MEETING." I could hear Gina´s voice echo through the house. It was Saturday morning, and it had now been a few days since the first school day. Tara had tried to tease me a few times more, but she didn´t mention my family more times, so I kept calm.
"There´s two new kids arriving later today." Mike said when we all sat in the kitchen. "They´re siblings, one boy, named Jordan and one girl named, Jessica. They´re going to live in Johnny´s and Tee´s old rooms. And I expect you all to be on your best behavior."
"Yes Mike," came from everywhere. I went to the lounge, and started to playing piano, for a while. But I couldn´t concentrate so I stood up again and sat down in one of the sofas.
"You´re ok Em?" Lily asked. "You seem a bit… weird."
"I´m fine," I pulled up my phone from my pocket, and started to play a game, but I couldn´t concentrate on that either, so I putted the phone back in my pocket and walked to my room. I started riffling in my photo album, looking at pictures of me and my family, my real family. Most of them were taken of me and Jonas, or from our travel in Greece. I sighed, this just made me depressed. I putted the album back in my book case. Placed the last of the boxes that Leon had gave me a couple of months ago on my bed. I sat down and started pulling up stuff from the box. Oh, what was I trying to do? I couldn´t concentrate now either. I placed the lock on the box, but leaved it and some stuff on my bed, and walked downstairs again. Where the new kids just were arriving.
"Hi I´m Jordan," the boy said. He looked like about, thirteen years old. "And this is my sister Jess." He pointed at a girl that looked like, eleven years old.
"I´m Emma," I said. Leaning over the stair railing. "I live here." I walked downstairs and past the two siblings. When Mike interrupted me.
"Emma, won´t you show this persons their rooms."
"Sure, after me." I walked upstairs again, with Jordan and Jess after me.
After showing they their rooms, I went downstairs again, and to the lounge. I sat there for a while, when I suddenly got a feeling, something was not as it shouldn´t be, and I walked upstairs. I recognized the door to my room was open, I was sure I´d looked it so that made me suspicious so I sneaked up the rest of the stairs. As quietly as I could, and I looked through the door. I was right, Jess was in there, messing with the stuff I had left on my bed. She lifted up a small box, and I was on my way to run there and rip it out of her hands, because I knew what was in it. But I decided to keep quiet, and see what she would do next. She opened the box and pulled out what was in it. A roundel, she looked at it, and then putted it in her pocket. I was almost shaking out of anger, I took a step forward, and then slowly she turned around. And saw me.
"You´ve got something of mine." I said.
"No I haven´t"
"I saw you, and I want you to give me it, now."
"Look." She pointed in another direction, and then ran past me, running through the stairs
"Give it back," I shouted, and ran after her. "Give it back now."
