Chapter Thirteen

Before I could respond, Abby looked over my shoulder and then sprinted around me. I turned and saw a man giving her a big hug. She almost disappeared inside his arms, he was so big. That had to be her father. She looked back and waved us forward.

“Sally, Tider, Richard, this is my dad. Dad, these are my friends.”

Her dad shook hands with each of us and smiled at me, “I’ve heard so much about you, Sally. I’m glad I got a chance to meet you. How do you like the school?”

“So far I’m enjoying it. Abby has helped me get the hang of everything,” I told him.

“That’s great.” He smiled again. Abby stilled and then closed her eyes and took a deep breath as a tall, gorgeous lady walked towards us.

“Abby, how lovely to see you again,” the lady said in a high voice. “I see you have made some friends finally,” Abby’s dad turned towards the lady with a small frown. She put a hand on his arm and smiled at him. “You know how much I worried about her. It makes me happy to see her hanging out with other kids.”

Abby’s dad smiled, “It is good to see her happy.”

I immediately didn’t like the lady. She hadn’t said it nicely, and I looked at my friends to see if they caught it. Richard was frowning, but Tider looked pissed.

“Of course she has friends. Abby is one of the nicest kids at the school. Most of the students like her. She is very busy studying, so she doesn’t always have time to hang out,” Tider said angrily.

“And who might you be?” the lady asked him.

“My name is Johnathon.” She looked at him disdainfully. I was surprised that he used his actual name since he always wanted to go by Tider.

“Well, Johnathon, I’m Laura Ravenis.” She seemed to expect us to be impressed by the name, but I had no idea who she was. Richard had a grimace on his face, and Abby was looking down.

Tider pulled his shoulders back and looked her in the eye, “Your name means nothing to me. Let me give you my full name. I’m Johnathon Murdell.”

Mrs. Ravenis gasped and took a small step back, “I didn’t realize. I mean, I knew you were at the school, but I didn’t expect you to be friends with my stepdaughter.”

“Maybe you should see who you are talking to before you open your mouth. My family will hear of this.” Tider’s voice sounded strange. It was a mixture of pure fury and coldness. It sounded awful coming from one of my friends. I looked at Tider from a different perspective. I hadn’t known him long, but I thought I knew him well. I had never seen this side of him.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Murdell,” Mrs. Ravenis apologized. “It won’t happen again. I don’t think your family needs to hear of this.” There was fear in her eyes, and her hands were slightly shaking.

“You should be on your way,” Tider told her.
