~ Chapter 3: Part 2 ~

I hear the family chatter with dad, I hear the babies cry, I hear the grill, I hear the water dripping, I hear the hot lasagne sizzle as it gets taken out of the oven.

Crispy, cheesy, yummy. The lasagne had a light brown crispy line at the outside of the hanging crust. The top of the crust was yellow, with some darker yellow bits. I took a look at the layers of the lasagne. Clean layers were stacked on top of each other.

It followed a pattern of.. Lasagne sheet, chicken sauce {Basically a bunch of spices, Bolognese sauce, chicken, garlic, sweet corn and some parsley mixed together} white sauce, and cheese. It followed that pattern four times until the top. The top was the cheesiest part of it all, my favourite part.

The potatoes were ready to serve as well. The skin of the potato was shinning with its golden brown colour. I placed big bottles of coke, juice and water on to the table. Mikey followed behind me holding onto the lasagne tray with oven mittens and placed it onto a silver rack on the table.

Mikey and I walked back into the kitchen. I grabbed the potato sliders and placed them in a spiral design on a glass dish. I held onto the rim of the dish while I was getting the knives from the drawer.

I placed the dish back on the countertop and placed the knives onto the potatoes. I gently placed my palms on the bottom side of the plate and brought it towards the dining table.

As I placed it down I sensed somebody looking at me. From the corner of my eye I couldn't see anyone, but when I stood straight to place a knife into the lasagne dish, I noticed he was looking at me.

I gulped in trying not to make it look obvious that I'm nervous. I quickly made way to the kitchen where Mikey passed by me holding the Tuna Casserole. I grabbed fancy glasses from the cupboard and headed into the dining room. Mikey took the glasses from my hand and started to give one to everybody. I waited for all the glasses to be handed out and then said, "Dinner is ready, Bon appetite!". I sat down on the only available chair.

I tried to avoid eye contact as I grabbed myself some lasagne. Everyone else dived into the food and started to eat. I placed my plate in front of me.

Layers of chicken, tomato sauce, cheese, sweet corn all in one made the perfect to go to dish. I took a fork and dived right into my food.

There was a moment of silence. Though it wasn't very silenced because you could hear the sizzling lasagne as well as everyone crunching on the crispy layer.

A few moments later the Miss of the family started introducing everyone to us. "Well we haven't properly introduced ourselves. My name is Penelope Smith, my husband is Gerald Smith. My two little boys are Noah and Ethan, and then my oldest son is Parker". Ms. Penelope said smiling widely.

Parker. The sound of the name Parker for some reason felt so right but I wasn't sure how. Dad then followed by introducing us to them. "So you are the Smiths, we are the Spears. My name is Jeremy Spears. My sons name is Mike and my daughters name is Shade."

"Well it's nice to meet you all", said Mr. Smith.

"It's nice to meet you too, sir", Mikey replied with a smile on his face. I didn't talk throughout the whole dinner and had no intentions to. Mikey and Parker would have talked every now and then. Dad and the Smith parents had talked throughout the whole dinner but I would always join in if Dad insisted.

We later brought the desert out. Dessert was fruit salad as well as ice cream sundaes ' parlor'. Mikey and I would always make small dishes with different toppings in it so you could make your own sundae. Another hour passed by and they finally headed back to their house.

Dad, Mikey and I cleaned everything up and started to head back to our rooms. I slowly opened the door to my room and got changed. I wore my black cat onesie and wore my fluffy shoes. I passed by the window on my right and noticed someone looking out the other window. I bent down to the level of the window and noticed Parker looking out to me.

He smiled at me while I stood still. I looked at him for about 30 seconds and then was about to move back to my bed when he gestured me to wait. I waited as he disappeared from the window sill and came back with a marker and board.

I stood their watching what he was doing as he wrote something down onto the board. He turned the board towards me where it read "Hi!" with a big smiley face next to it.

It was a night full of conversations with a guy I barely knew. He seemed nice and was very funny. Our conversations went on for hours until my eyes became heavier. I didn't talk to him at school nor when I saw him and had no intentions to.

The week went onwards with me being the insane girl at school. Though I had friends like Zach and Scar who were there for me even though they didn't know what was wrong with me. I got used to the people and the teachers at school much quicker than I thought. I didn't know whether I should open up to everyone about my past, I didn't know what would happen. Everything felt like a blur and still is.
