    The desks were in a circle so that everyone felt included. Thankfully I sat in between two empty desks and Ronnie happily filled one of them. I was really starting to like Ronnie. She was unlike anyone else and actually wanted to get to know me. Gabrielle walked in the room and instantly it felt like the temperature dropped about ten degrees. I shivered and goose bumps erupted on my skin. I immediately focused on the dragon that was carved into my desk. “So how much did you pay Aydan to take you to the cove?” Gabrielle sneered. My eyes stayed glued to the desk. “You know, I don’t know whether to laugh at you, or pity you.” Ronnie’s hard voice surprised me and I looked up at Gabrielle’s sour face. “Oh no. It is I that pity you.” Gabrielle spit. Ronnie stood up faster than I thought possible and glared at Gabrielle hard. “Pity me? no darling because bottom line , this is all you have. This is all you will ever have.” She gestured around the room, “ When you graduate your greatest accomplishment will be some guy’s house wife. Whereas Gemma, will have something to be proud of.” Gabrielle opened and closed her mouth, no sound coming out. She honestly resembled a fish.
     
    I looked over at Ronnie with amazement. She laughed and leaned back in her chair. “I’m guessing I’m your new best friend?” She joked. I nodded, my mouth still hanging open. “Yeah I figured since you have that bright eyed, bushy tailed look now.”
     
     

    Chapter Six
     
    “ You can talk to someone for years, every day, and still when those feelings of friendship shift into something more it catches you off guard. You can sit in front of them, not saying a word, yet you can feel them in your heart. It’s truly an amazing feeling.” - Gemma
     
    I was staring up at my ceiling when a gentle knock on the door came to my attention. “Come in.” I called out softly. Amelie stepped inside with a timid smile. I smiled and sat up , waiting for the inevitable request to leave. I waited as she searched her mind for the right words. “I am really happy that you are here.” My heart jumped at her words, it wasn’t the normal ‘ we can’t have you here anymore’ speech. “Aydan, he seems very nice.” I was stunned, almost so stunned that I forgot to respond. She was trying to make conversation. None of my fosters made an attempt at conversation. Finally I nodded. “Yes, he is...he is my best friend.” Amelie smiled knowingly. “I think he has much more than friendship on his mind darling.” She said with a very lady like giggle. I even smiled, wishing that were true. “It’s true. You just need to open your eyes to see what is in front of your face.” She smiled and patted my leg affectionately. “Why isn’t Roland here?” I asked timidly, briefly wondering what kind of man would allow his wife to adopt a teenage girl while he was out of the country. Amelie smiled as the sound of Roland’s name. “My Roland and I met a very long time ago. I will not bore you with how long ago.” She smiled and leaned back. “I knew the second I met him that he would be the one. He was so handsome in his uniform.” She looked away wistfully. “Uniform?” I asked, curious about the man. “Yes, he protects some very important people in France. You will see when we go back.” My heart ached, leave Aydan? leave the country. My chest grew tight with panic. Amelie smiled, leaned in and kissed my cheek before stepping out.
     
    My chest was tight and I felt like i was suffocating. My necklace was growing hot against my chest and I looked down to see whether or not I was burnt. I grasped it tightly, and a soothing energy started flowing through me. I could suddenly breathe easier. My door burst open and before I could react Aydan’s strong arms were around me and his lips were at my ears. “Hush, I’ve got you. It’s alright.” I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent. I started to grow calmer, almost sleepy
