"So… Sophia." Mike began. "Have you got something to tell us?"
"Well, what do you wanna know?"
"Your surname, age," Mike said
"My full name is Sophia Atkins, I´m thirteen years old." Mike riffled in the papers on the desktop, with reading glasses on his nose.
"So… where are you from?"
"Transylvania!" I said ironic. "No, but seriously, you don´t need to know where I come from."
"Actually, I think we do." Gina said. I leaned backwards.
"Well, if you have to know, I´m from a country called Gota city called Lulei" I said. "Anything else you want to know?"
"Are you going to tell us why you´re here?" Gina asked.
"No,"
"Well," Mike smiled. "If you want to tell us, we´ll be right here."
"Can I go now?"
"Sure, you want to see the room you´re going to stay in?" I nodded.
"After me then," I stood up and opened the door, behind the door stood a black- haired boy with a notebook, he was about to give me a heart attack, I screamed and had fallen over, if Mike hadn´t been behind me, catching my fall.
"You´re ok?" he asked, when I stood on my own two feet again.
"I´m fine," I gasped.
"What´s your name?" the boy asked.
"what´s yours?" I asked.
"The name´s Gus Carmichael."
"Sophia Atkins" I said,
"How do you spell it?"
"Why do you want to know that?"
"Because I have to know."
"Ok, ok, ehrm, S-O-P-H-I-A A-T-K-I-N-S"
"Where are you from?"
"None of your business."
"Gus…" Mike said. "Don´t you think you can let Sophia settle in a bit first. Before you ask her questions?"
"Yes, but she has to be ready for my tour in thirty minutes and" he looked at his watch. "Thirty three seconds, thirty two, thirty one."
"I´ll make sure she´s ready ´til then." Mike said. "Come with me, Sophia." I walked after Mike, upstairs, through a hallway, and a room to the left. The inside of the doors, and the wardrobe- doors were stripy in green and red. There were two beds, and Tee sat on one of them, sewing.
"What do you think?" Mike asked.
"It´s, it´s… colorful."
"You´ll get used to it." Tee said. "hang on, where are your things?"
"Back at home, hard to get them from there." I said.
"I guess you can lend some of Tee´s clothes, for a while" Mike said. "I´ll arrange with Gina or Melanie so you guys can get you some new clothes next week." I nodded. And sat down on my bed. I´d been taken to the hospital in Lulei first, there they stabilized me, and then I was taken to the hospital in London, I had been there for two weeks. Was in coma, the first week. And then woke up to know that Sophie, my twin, my sister, my best friend… was… I couldn't even think the word. In the hospital I wore special hospital clothes, and they´d washed my clothes, the same clothes I wore when… well you know.
"Why is there a big hole in your hoodie?" Tee asked, Mike had walked downstairs again.
"I don´t want to talk about it."
"I can sew it, if you like."
"Doesn´t matter, I´ll throw this in the bin, as soon as I have something else to wear."
"Why?"
"You wouldn´t understand."
Well, as you´ve probably, there are no country called Gota, and no city called Lulei. I just made it up.
