I´m sorry I haven´t updated in like, ages, but those last weeks at school before the holiday, we had really, really much to do, I spent like, two or three full weekends doing homework, so… whatever. I´m updating now.
When I had hung dad´s uniform into my wardrobe, I went downstairs, there was still no one awake except me. I took two papers from the living room, and walked up to my room, where I took a pen and my cell phone, before sitting down by my desk, and checking in the phone- calendar how many days there were until the half- term break. Then I draw lines at the papers, first from side to side, and then from up to down, to have as many boxes, as it was days left to the break, then I wrote the dates in every single one of the boxes. The first date was today´s date, September the ninth, and the last was the last day of school before the break, October the 26:th. Then I hang the papers on the wall, over my bed. And wrote in the box, of October the 15:th, "today, I need to have to told Mike if I´m going home." And on October the 5:th, I wrote. "Happy birthday Jonas."
I could hear someone, probably Gina, going to the kitchen, so I stood up, and walked downstairs.
"Morning Gina," I said when I came to the kitchen.
"Morning babes, feel better today eh?"
"Yeah, I´m fine." I took a bowl with cereal and milk, and sat down by the kitchen bench, while Gina was fixing with the rest.
That afternoon, when we all were in the living room, Jess asked Gus, if he knew why everybody living in the dumping ground were here, and if he could tell her. I turned around where I sat by the table and started listening to Gus.
"Carmen´s here because her mum´s boyfriend Leigh, couldn´t stand to have Carmen hanging around." It had went all quiet, except Gus´s talking, because everyone were listening to Gus, and he continued. "Harry is here because his mum used to hurt him. Tyler´s here because his mum didn´t want him. Rick´s here because his parents are in prison. Jody´s here because she used to live with her brother Kingsley, who was really mean to her. Emma´s here because, her parents died in a plane crash."
"Really?" Jess turned to look at me. "Which plane crash?"
"The one between in Greece, this spring." I said. And clenched my hands, it was still really painful to talk about the crash.
"Gus, could you tell me a bit more about Emma, please." Jess turned her head to look at Gus again.
"Yes…"
"Gus…" Mike began, but I stopped him.
"No Mike, let him do it." I said and leaned forward a bit.
"I haven´t finished," Gus said. "Emma´s real name is Emilia Peterson, which no one calls her, I don´t think she likes it. She´s got really long, carrot- red hair, and is short and skinny. Emma´s parents and little brother Jonas were killed in the plane- crash in Greece in April, but Emma doesn´t like to talk about it, she have got burns on one of her legs, because she was in the plane crash too. She likes to play the piano. When Emma first came here, she wasn´t really nice, she barely spoke at all, and when she did, she fizzled. Until she one day, ran away, when she came back she was crying. But after that she was nicer, Emma have got Epilepsy, a brain- damage that gives her attacks of convulsings, that´s what happened yesterday…"
"SHUT UP." I screamed. "THEY HAVEN´T GOT THE RIGHT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, SO… SHUT UP. SHUT UP." I jumped up on my feet and walked upstairs. I kicked in my book- shelf, and a book fell out, and opened to a CD, that laid inside it with a letter.
I´m stopping right there, mum wants to use the computer. Please review
