CHAPTER EIGHT

"So, are you nervous?" Aaronmon asked me as his car smoothly rounded a curve. It had become a routine of his to take me to school every day. Surprisingly, it didn’t bother me.

It was nice having someone to talk to about everything going on in my life, especially since I couldn’t talk to Kyle about it.

"About what? I go to school every day. Nothing new," I joked. I didn't know what he was talking about, but I knew it wasn't that.

Aaronmon shot me a look.

"About your mother?" He sighed.

"Oh that." I turned and looked out the window. "How long does it take, anyway?"

"A few weeks. She should be arriving any day now," Aaronmon said. Something in him felt nervous to me, though I didn't know why he would be nervous about her arrival.

"There isn't anything wrong with her spaceflight is there?" I asked, almost afraid of his answer.

"No." He sounded surprised by my question, but I could tell he was being truthful.

"I'm a little nervous, because I don't know anything about her," I said. I really didn't know what to expect. My entire life, I thought she was dead. I smiled. "Don't worry, though. I am just as eager."

As we got further into the small town, I saw a blue Volkswagon beetle. I seized my moment. I quickly clutched my hand into a fist and punched it hard in Aaronmon's arm.

"Blue punch buggy, don't punch back!" I yelled.

"Jows!" Aaronmon yelled and followed with it by cursing something Emréian. They hadn't taught me curses yet, but I remembered hearing Trish say them accidently when something bad happened.

"What was that for?" Aaronmon asked me.

"It's a game."

"You realize that I am driving."

"Sorry." I smiled coyly.

"Yeah, I bet you are."

"How is it that you have been here on Earth for about five years, but have never heard of that?"

"Wrong. I was at taeu annonun on Amara for two years, and then Earth for three years."

"Still, three years and you have never heard of punch buggy? They are everywhere in bigger cities."

"I didn't come here to learn games. I came to learn the language and history. I was here to understand the environment that you grew up in."

"And what do you think about it?"

Aaronmon's eyebrow raised slightly. "Do you really want to know?"

I nodded.

"Well it does seem like Earth is on its way to discovering space travel and learning beyond their solar system. However, they still have a hundred years or so. That depends on how quick it takes them to figure out antimatter."

"Why don’t other planets help?"

"It is important that species develop on their own in order to survive. If not, then things can go bad. That’s why we are at war with Helentania."

"Why is that?" I asked.

Aaronmon handed me the abula. "Why don't you just read it for yourself?"

I looked at the silver abula, confused.

"It's all in Emréian." I shoved the abula back in his face.

"What?"

"Fix it in English."

Aaronmon groaned and took back the abula. I watched him as he went through the menus until the holographic read in English.
