.” I was surprised about that.I knew he didn’t owe me any favors, but I wished I knew the circumstances of his death.It would help me understand him more; maybe it would even help me.I didn’t think he’d want to be that open with me.I didn’t have the right to think this way, but I was almost a little offended that other people knew about his reasons and I didn’t.“It’s hard for him to talk about.We just have a special connection.” She was really trying to rub it in my face and I didn’t care and it bothered me both at the same time.“He actually taught me some Latin and got me into it.”“Does he know how to speak it?”“Fluently.He’s very intelligent.” And she was trying to make me interested so I could be more jealous of their relationship? I so did not want him! “Unfortunately, we don’t hang out as much as we used to.”Ah ha! It was a case of jealous female.“Are you his old flame or—?”“Oh no!” She laughed, but she was disgusted as well.“I’m his younger sister, Maria.”“Oh.” I was caught completely off guard.“He didn’t mention he had a sister.”“He’s embarrassed by me.” She shrugged her shoulders like she didn’t care, but it completely broke my heart.“It sucks, because we used to be thick as thieves.”So she wasn’t a completely jealous female.She was just a concerned and protective littler sister trying to feel me out.Maybe she liked me and wanted me to become impressed with Julian and actually start to like him.That wasn’t going to happen, so my heart went out to her.“What happened between you two?”“He hasn’t been the same since his suicide.He’s completely different.He doesn’t laugh as much, he dropped all his friends, and he completely avoids family as much as possible.He makes me feel like a stranger.”That poor girl! She made me feel bad about leaving my parents completely in the dark.I never really talked about my feelings with them before, but they knew something was really wrong with me and I did my best to make them feel like powerless jerks.That wasn’t right of me.“I must say, I find it odd that he’s even talking to you.”If I didn’t know Julian, I would have been terribly offended.“We’re just friends.”“Julian doesn’t feel like he can afford friends.He’s been extremely paranoid ever since his revival.”“‘Friends’ might be too strong of a word.” Especially since I hated him.“He’s just helping me out a bit.”“What do you need help with?”I couldn’t lie.I couldn’t tell her the truth.I didn’t even know if Julian had said anything to her.Even if he did tell his sister about his demon, that didn’t mean that I wanted her to know about mine.“What’s with all the questions?”“I know I’m only the little sister, but I wanna look out for him.He’s not the same kind and fun guy who used to love life and the people around him.Sure he’s had his Emo clique, but he and his friends aren’t what you think.They’re just like everybody else.They just like to wear a lot back clothes and eyeliner.They played laser tag and ate pizza just like normal kids.Now he won’t even talk to them.” It did concern me.I was afraid that Julian was overreacting and I didn’t want to end up just as alone as he was.“What about you? Do you talk to those friends anymore?”She started to look embarrassed and stared at her hands in her lap.“I don’t have any friends.Everybody at this school thinks I’m a freak.”“Why?” She was an odd girl and I probably would have never been her best friend before my death, but there must have been tons of weird kids in our school.They outnumbered normal people.“I’m the weird sister of the freak who killed himself and came back to life.There were already rumors about us before.Kids can be cruel.”I couldn’t let that slide.I was too concerned for my wellbeing.“What kind of rumors?”“I don’t wanna say.Forgive me, but I think it would be nice if one person could just judge me by getting to know me first.”“I completely understand.” Maria’s eyes were so sad that it made me feel guilty, as if I somehow participated in the gossiping myself.In my head, maybe I was.I didn’t think any theories, but I wanted to hear them in case I was in danger.“Besides, Julian didn’t make things better.He was completely off the rails when he came back from the dead.”Well, I couldn’t help but be interested in that as well! “How so?”“He started doing drugs; he was drinking, and partying every night.He’d disappear days at a time.I didn’t know where he’d run off to.He was even a little violent.”I instantly thought of all of my fears while the two of us were under that bridge [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
