Thank God, my diversion worked. She stopped asking about my family. I really didn't feel like talking about it. Not to anyone. Opening up to people was the first step to getting hurt, I knew that. Which is why I was such an ass to everyone. If they all hate me, then they wont take time to know me, so they wont be close to me.
Anyways, I was thinking all this when Lani asked if I wanted to go downstairs or something. I put my confident mask on again and grinned. "Sure thing." I got up off her bed and walked out of the room, and down the stairs back to the main room. I saw the new kid in there, though I didn't know his name. I plopped next to him on the couch. "So, kid, what's your name, huh?" The kid seemed a bit scared. Oh kid, in a world like this, you don't show your fear. That's how you get stepped all over. I thought to myself. I don't know why I kept calling him a kid though. I'm sure he's the same age as the rest of us. Who knows.
I looked around the room at the people there. Ford seemed pretty pissed off. Though, I'm not exactly sure why. With that guy, who knew. Casey was talking to Katelyn. Though, she seemed a bit tense. Though, she always was. "Have we gotten the entire vote in for the night club yet? Is it happening or not?" I asked no one in particular.
