Chapter 12

"My god I'm stuffed!' Asher exclaimed as he finally finished his fries. "Stuffed?! Asher you ate half of the menu ." I said with wide eyes ,"Like yeah for real Asher. What are you, a vacuum ?" Ari asked , Asher glared at us but we shrugged our shoulders. "I'm a growing boy I need food. Besides I usually eat more. Isn't that right, Alec?" Asher said then looked at Alec. Alec nodded "Oh yeah, the restaurants love him , because he made them rich." he said while shaking his head.

"Well , I'm glad you enjoyed the meal." Adam's sister Lily said when she saw that we were done with our food."Thank you Lilly for the amazing meal, this diner is amazing. " I said with a smile, "I'm glad to hear that. But I gotta say I never knew my little Adam to have a lot of friends." Lilly said while ruffling Adams hair." Lilly! Not the hair." Adam complained , Lilly just laughed , put the receipt on the table and went back to her office .

All of us went to take the receipt but Alec beat us to it, and before we could say anything he took out 40 dollars and put it in. "Hey Alec you're not paying fro all of us , we all ate so we're all paying." I said . "Yeah man all of us a re paying ." Adam said and Ari nodded her head. Alec just looked at us then said "Don't worry about it." "Alec no " I said sternly. "Claire how about we consider this as an apology for treating badly when we fist met , please?" he said practically pleading with me. I looked at him then said "Okay , but only if the others agree." Alec quickly looked at them and gave them one of his looks. They quickly nodded ,Alec turned to me and flashed me a smile. I shook my head with a smile.

"I don't know if I can study after all of that food, all I want to do is take a nap." Asher said as we sat down at one of the tables at the back of the library . "Well too bad we are going to be studying , so get to it." Ari said , Asher glared at her but she glared at him and he quickly quieted down.

"So , how are we going to do this?" Adam asked. "Well I think everyone should study whatever they need and if someone needs help they can ask one of us and we''ll help them, okay?" I said. I looked at everyone and all of them nodded. "Well it's decided then , everyone get to studying." I said. Everyone nodded and got sucked into there own studies.

.................

"Adam fro the last time , you have to MULTIPLY not divide ." I desperately said. "Why though!!!!" Adam said. I wanted to scream but I opted to banging my head on the table. The rest of the group either wanted to scream or they were just laughing .

"Adam, you are one of the smartest people I know, but your inability to understand math is really surprising." Ari said. Adam looked so defeated and I felt bad , "hey Adam , I'm sorry if I made you feel bad . How about I explain it from the beginning ? " I said with soft smile. Adam nodded "Thank you Claire I really appreciate it." he said sounding grateful. I smiled at him and gave him a side hug from our chairs.

"Guys , I think we should continue tomorrow. We have studied fro the past two hours and every ones bored." Alec suggested , I shrugged my shoulders " If that's what you would like to do I have no problem with it." I said. "Yeah I think that's a good idea ." Ari said. Asher and Adam nodded, "Okay then , there is a park not far from here . I think we should go there. " Alec suggested and everyone agreed . We packed our stuff then left the library.

................

"You know you guys aren't so bad ." Adam told Alec and Asher, "I could say the same to you guys." Asher said. "I'm glad ." I said .

'All of us were laying under a tree , it seemed like all of us have been friends for years but in reality some of us actually hated each other not a month ago.' I though to myself. Before I could get deeper into my thoughts I heard a soft meow, almost as if it's in pain. I quickly got up . When Alec saw me get up he got up too and the others followed. "Claire, what is it ?" Adam asked. "Yeah what is it?" Asher asked."Guys, shut up for a second ." I snapped . Everyone looked taken a back but quieted down.

I heard the meow again this time louder so I followed the sound. I didn't pay much attention to anything else but I did notice my friends following me. Eventually I reached to the source of the voice. There was small kitten at the side of a pond, drenched in water. I gasped and ran to it , I took off my jacket and wrapped the kitten in it. Since the kitten was so cold it didn't put up much of a fight.

After I wrapped the kitten in my jacket I picked it up and pulled it close to my body. I felt it shivering and it broke my heart. I turned around and when the guys and Ari saw the kitten they gasped . I quickly went back to where we had our stuff.

I sat down and put the kitten on the ground while it's all wrapped up. I started drying it , " Guys , one of you go and get some cat food or canned tuna from the store. I saw it when we came here. " I ordered them . They just stood there confused for a bit. "Go now." I said , Asher ,Alec and Adam quickly took there bags ans started running to the store.

I sat there drying the kitten when Ari handed me a piece of cloth. I looked at her and she gave me a smile, I returned the smile and continued drying the kitten.

After a bit Asher ,Adam and Alec came back with the stuff I told them to get. They put it in front of me, I quickly say thank you and take out the first thing I saw , which happened to be tuna . i opened the can , I also put took out my water bottle that happened to have a cup . I filled it with water and put beside the food.

I made sure the kitten was dry enough then I laid the kitten in front of the food and water. And just like that a bunch of tens were waiting to see if the kitten was gonna eat .
