âWeâll talk about it laterâ he said opening the door. âLadies first."
âYou have Trigâ I told him again.
âWhatâs your point?â he asked, grinning down at me. I sighed and walked past him through the door. I threw my bag on the floor with the others and listened to Jesseâs footsteps go down the stage stairs. Counting each step he took, I approached the theater class circle. I took my place next to Cameron and a boy named Damon from my math class. Cameron winked at me and I sighed in relief when I realized that the drama teacher wasnât glaring wholes into me.
âI decided which peace was the best and selected it for our next show. Congrats to Ms.Lucinda Price for writing such an amazing peaceâ the drama teacher in which we call Mr. Lopez said. I choked in surprise while the rest of the class clapped and cheered. I heard Jesse shouting from the audience.
âAre you serious?â I said, still trying to swallow right.
âOf course. I canât judge you just based on your minor actions. But those minor actions will affect you in the futureâ he said, I then started realizing he was still mentioning my lateness although he didnât make a big deal. Iâm so glad Cameron pulled me out of another situation. âHow about you show us some of the play we will be putting on?â
âUh, sure. I need a female volunteer thoughâ I said. I quickly saw Saraâs hand raised. She is quiet and really shy but the girl can put on a show. âCome on, Sara.â
I told Sara what part we would be playing as the class scattered and sat in the audience. We would be doing my favorite scene. Itâs the mother daughter scene and the girl is telling her mother how much she loves a boy.
âWeâre readyâ I told Mr. Lopez.
âBegin when youâre readyâ he said. When he said that, I slipped into character.
âYou donât know what youâre talkingâ bout, child. You arenât in love. You donât know what love isâ Sara said motherly.
âYouâre wrong!â I yelled. I saw Sara flinch which was a nice addition to our scene. I made a mental note to tell her that later. âYou go around and pretend to be the perfect little house wife. For what? And you expect me to play along? He is not my father and Iâm starting to believe youâre not my mother.â
âSceneâ Sara said, smiling in satisfaction. The class cheered and clapped again at my accomplishment until the bell ranged. I smiled at Sara and she glowed with happiness. I went to get my bag before Mr. Lopez was able to start a conversation with me on responsibility. I met Cameron and Jesse at the door.
âYou were amazing!â Cameron gushed on.
âThanks, Camâ I said, smiling up at him. âThank you for pulling me out of the fire. Again.â
âSee you at lunchâ he said, giving me a âyouâre welcomeâ smile and walking in the west side of the building toward the library.
âYou really are a drama queenâ Jesse said. I rolled my eyes and walked toward my next class which happened to be Spanish.
âDo you have your iPod on you?â I asked. He reached in his pocket and pulled out the blue iPod.
âThat was a compliment, you know?â he said, placing it gently in my hand.
âThanks for the compliment. Thanks for the iPodâ I said, waving it in the air sarcastically.
âCan we talk now?â he asked. I tried to weigh my options. Go to Spanish class taught by a non-Hispanic teacher or discuss a weird dream with my trust worthy brother. The dream option sounds better.
âFine. Letâs go to Starbucksâ I said. We walked off campus not worrying about being seen because we have the worst security system in the world. I plugged in the tangled headphones and put one bud in my ear. I flipped through the playlist and selected one of the Flyleaf songs. Starbucks wasnât a far walk and it wasnât as crowded as I thought it would be.
âGo get us a tableâ Jesse told me. I got a table by the window. He came back in two minutes with two giant foam cups. He placed one in front of me and sat in the chair across from me. I pulled the headphones from my ear and sipped at my coffee.
âSo what happened in the dream?â he asked.
âIt was confusing. There were six girls, like I said. They were talking about another sister they might have. They called that sister the seventh or something. They said something about power and destroying. Itâs all jumbled up. It was just a dream thoughâ I said, looking down, sipping more coffee. I suddenly felt young under his gaze. Talking about a dream I had felt stupid. Just as stupid as me saying there is a monster in my closet and Iâm seventeen!
âNo. I donât think so. Mom lied to youâ he said. He was starring down at his giant foam cup that he hasnât yet sipped from.
âJesse what are you talking about? Why are you making this a big deal? It was just a dreamâ I said, feeling my own age.
âYou donât understandâ he said but it looked like he just solved a difficult math problem. âYou werenât two when we got you. You were seven. It was raining that day. A lady brought you to our house. You were asleep in her arms. She wore a cloak over her head and it covered her eyes. She asked mom could you stay for a while. It was really hard for mom to refuse. The lady started to walk past me but she stopped.â
âDid she say anything to you?â I asked, my tone sounding bored and unbelieving even though I tried to make it as normal as I possibly could. I saw hurt flash in his still-sleepy eyes.
âYou donât believe me, do you?â he asked. I bit my lip and tried to think of way to say âJesse, youâre crazy! It was just a dream! What you just said is a load of crap!â in the nicest way I could.
âAll Iâm saying is that it was just a dream. You really donât have to make a big deal out of itâ I said, putting up my hands in surrender. He just sighed.
âI donât know how I can prove this to youâ he said and then he straightened in his seat. âThe pictures.â
âUgh, what pictures?â I asked a little more than annoyed and frustrated.
âAll of the pictures we have taken together since Mom âadoptedâ youâ he said, making air quotes around the word adopted. It almost felt like he didnât want to be called my brother or I his sister. A jolt of pain stabbed through me at the thought.
âWhat are you trying to do Jesse?â I asked, hiding the pain and making my voice cold and hateful.
âWhat are you talking about Lucinda?â he asked me.
âWhy are you doing this?â I asked, rephrasing my first question.
âIâm not doing anything. Iâm trying to help youâ he said, confused.
âIf you didnât want me as a sister, you could have said so. I would have been leftâ I said, getting to my feet and fixing by bag right on my shoulder.
âLucinda, youâre getting this all wrong,â his voice sounding sad and pleading at the same time.
âYou know, it took me a long time to finally feel accepted in your all-who-enter-is-welcomed- home but it seems that I made myself to comfortable,â I said, tears dwelling in my eyes. Jesse and Maria (my foster mom) are all I had left and I knew what was about to happen next. I would leave them because like I always knew, they didnât want me and now I felt someone finally told me the truth.
âYouâre dead wrong on this one, Lucindaâ he was on his feet too. He didnât yell but a few people turned to see what the tension was between us could be about. If I didnât mention this before, I will now. Jesse is tall. I mean the boy is really tall. I am five foot-four and the boy looks like he nearly towers over me. Even though a table separated some space between us, it didnât make me feel any taller.
âTell your mother to not wait up. Iâll be at Cameronâs house if anyone cares.â I walked passed him and through the doors. I thought about heading back to school and thought better of it. The last thing I really needed was to see Cameron see how messed up I really was just yet. I knew that I would face him sooner or later. I decided then it would be later.
I took my Blackberry from my bag and was surprised to see two text messages. One from Maria saying: why arenât you in class? Your Spanish teacher called and Iâm highly concerned. I quickly erased the message and went to the second one. It was from Katelyn, my other best friend beside Cameron. It said: Something is wrong. Where are you? I laughed without humor because only Katelyn would know when something is wrong with me.
I smiled and replied: A few blocks from the school. By Starbucks. Well, in front of it actually. I waited a few moments before my phone vibrated with another message from Katelyn: Iâm on my way. It was pretty cool for early October but that didnât stop the wind from blowing my hair crazily around my face. Within the next few minutes, Katelynâs little green bug pulled up in front of me.
I walked to the car and started to jump in, when Jesse finally came out of Starbucks. I knew he was still in there but I didnât think he was actually watching my next move, if I decided to make one. He just stood there. I jumped in the car and we sped away.
âJesse texted me, Lucinda. Whatâs up with you?â she asked. Katelyn has always been my best friend. One thing I loved about her was her honesty and her ability to get right to the point. Today was not the day for that ability.
âWhy do you guys always assume itâs me?! Itâs him! NO! ITâS THEM!â I corrected.
âWhatever. Something tells me that something is bothering you,â Katelyn told me. I heard her but I didnât reply. Some of the things that Jesse said started to make sense. He said I was seven when I was brought to him. And I was asleep.
