Moving past the gates, Lecia parts ways with us to return to her own room.
Eric and I head slowly back to our room, after walking for a few minutes Eric spoke for the first time since we got here,
" You know....I've been meaning to ask you something."
" What is it ?", I say wondering what my 'best friend' wanted.
...
Heh.
Eric stared ahead of us, debating something in his mind.
" That conversation with Dina, being your mother and all.....is there anything you want to tell me ?...."
Oh.....I did tell him something along the lines of 'killing my mother' didn't I ?
" No....", I say immediately.
Eric stared at me, a rare smile attached itself to his face,
" Everybody's allowed to keep secrets....but I think you should learn to lie better, I don't think we can afford another outburst from you."
Hmmmm, true....but-
" I could do that.....but all of you could just stop hitting and annoying me every chance you get."
