Chapter 4 - A Conference Friend

"Here's some coffee." said Esther
"Thanks." I replied accepting the coffee.
"So what time does the meeting start?"
"Umm, I think 10:30 A.M."
"Ok, I go to work at 9:00 A.M so you can hang around town."
"Sure. I guess.."
"Don't worry you'll be fine!"
"I know, I just.. I don't know this place really well or good."
"You'll find your way around easily."
"Err. I hope."
"Well it's 8:30." "Lets head out."
"Ok." I said going to put my shoes on.

I had on a white sweater with a plaid shirt under that folded at the collar and at the sleeves. I wore some blue skinny jeans and a pair of brown combat boots with grey socks that peeked at the top of my boots. And on my waist was my badge. I hoped I looked fine.

We got into the car and Esther drove us away. It was a hot day in California so I opened my window 1/4 of the way. I liked some window opened but not all the way. I organized my purse a little more because it was really messy. I had my phone, my tablet, my makeup, some tissues, extra bobby pins, and my wallet. Esther pulled into a spot in the parking lot where she worked and we got out of the car.

"So I'll see you at four! Bye!" Esther said as she entered the building where she worked.
"See ya.." I replied after she left.

I walked to where the P.T.T meeting was held. They have to keep it hidden because it could be dangerous letting outsiders (non members) know. Esther knows because her mom was a member, so it's not that big of a deal. I made it to the building but we had to enter at the behind of the building so, I used my badge to scan the scanner by the fence so I could enter. I went around and entered a door and I went down the stairs. When I reached the stairs there were some guards by the meeting room.

"Name?" They asked. They were really tall and scary.
"Oh uh, it's Eden Emulet." I replied.

They must've known I was allowed because they opened the door for me. I nodded to thank them and entered. When I entered there was a big table and at each chair there was a name card so you would know where you sat. I eventually found my seat and sat down. I looked at the names next to me, 'Victoria Alexander' I said to my self. She sat to the right of me. 'Matthew Cohen'. He sat to the left of me. I wanted to be really friendly so I acted the nicest I could.

"Hello, you must be Miss Emulet." A woman said from behind me.
"Oh, hello. You can just call me Eden." I said standing up to shake her hand.
"Commander Leo told me about you and your mission."
"Oh he did?" I asked.
"He did indeed." She replied. "He said your very good with handling your missions."
"Oh, thanks." I replied.
"Do you mind giving a speech about your mission?" She asked.

My mind went completely in shock. 'A SPEECH?! She must be crazy!! I never give speeches. I can't do it! Nope, nope.' I thought to myself.

"Oh I'm Not very good a speeches." I replied.
"What are you worried about! You'll do great!" She exclaimed to me.
*Sigh*
"I hope." "Oh! I never got your name! I'm sorry." I told her.
"It's Mrs. Adams. It's about to start soon so good luck, I'll announce you on stage." She said giving me a wink as she walked off.

I sighed again. I walked back to my seat and the boy so called 'Matthew' was there. I wanted to have a nice first impression so I wanted to greet him. So I walked back to my seat and sat down.

"Hi, are you-" When he turned to face me he was so handsome. He had the perfect shade of brown hair and had eyes the shade of every brown. His eyes met mine and we stared at each other for what seemed like forever.

"Are you ok?" He asked.
I snapped out of it.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I replied embarrassed.
"By the way, I am Matthew."

I looked up at him and we stared again. I quickly turned away and blushed. I didn't want to stare at him anymore so I didn't look at him when I spoke to him.

"My names Eden. Nice to meet you." I said not facing him.
"Is this your first year at P.T.T?" He asked.
"No, actually I have been doing this since I was 8, but I never did big missions. I usually went with my leaders."
"Oh, this is actually my first year."

I looked up at him, with my eyes wide open. He laughed a little.

"What's with that face?" He chuckled.
"Wha?" Then I put my hands on my face and I knew my face was red.
"I'm sorry, I'm just surprised this is your first year!" I told him.
"Yeah, surprisingly I was what they wanted. A fast, strong and wise guy."
"Are you doing a solo mission." I asked.
"Well, yeah I guess."
"What is it about?"

Then we got cut off by Mrs. Adams. She was starting the meeting by giving out announcements and introducing people. Then she was starting to introduce me!

"This next guest is only 17 years old and she is already going on a big solo mission. Please welcome Eden Emulet!" Said Mrs. Adams as she was clapping.

I guess that was my Que. to go up on stage.

"Thank you. Well, I am on my very first solo mission, it is to catch the demon 'lust' and put it a stop. It has been killing teen boys world wide so it is up to me to stop it as soon as possible."I said.

I got so caught up in telling about my mission I wasn't nervous anymore. I went on for a few minutes then I realized I had to stop.

"...and that is what my mission is. Thank you!" I said as I left the stage.

When I went to sit down I was kinda exhausted. All that talking made me kinda tired and thirsty.

"Here." Matthew said as he handed me a water bottle.
"Thanks a bunch." I replied as I drank the water quickly.
"You did good."
"Did I?"
"Yeah, you have a pretty big mission on your hands though."
"Yeah, I know I do."
"Hey do you have a number I can reach you from?"
"Yeah, I do."

The conference finally ended and I gave Mathew my number. I walked to Esther's job and waited for her. Her shift was ending in 5 minutes too.

"Sorry, I'm almost there."she said as she ran to her locker to get her purse.
"Ok, let's go." She said grabbing her keys out of her purse.
"How was the meeting"
"It went... Good, I guess."
"What? What do you mean?"
"I had to give a speech and everything."
"Wow, that sucks."
"Yeah, but I met a boy."
"A boy?! Tell me about him!"
"He was really cute. He was tall, he had brown hair and brown eyes."
"Show me him one day, ok?" Esther asked as she drove us home.
