How To Love Again (Raura) Episode 10

"I guess" I shrug "Sure" "Yay!" Katie throws her arms around me again "We'll pick you up tomorrow at six you'll have the rest of the day to get ready" "It's a firework show all I have to do is throw on some shorts and tee" "True but still" "I didn't know Ross lived across from you" "You know Ross?" "Everyone knows Ross. He's was the weird kid in our chemistry class. He didn't have a lab partner and I don't think I've ever seen him hanging out with anybody" "Stop begin mean Peyton" "I'm just saying the boy's a loner" I look down at my feet biting my tongue so I wouldn't explode and start saying things to Peyton I glanced out the window to see Ross sitting on his porch a pencil and pad in his hands. One of his hands tapped a rhythm on the concrete while the other scribbled things down on his pad "What a weirdo" Peyton mutters "Ross's not weird" "Why would you say that?" "Because just forget it" "We have to get going. My mother wants me back home before noon" Katie drapes an arm around my shoulder "I'll stay I'll have my brother come pick me up later. Laura and I have some catching up to do" "Whatever bye" "So what do you want to talk about?" "Tell me about Rome" I insist hoping to avoid any subject about Dallas. "Please" She nods as we step into my room both of us flopping down on my bed "Well..." She begins but I don't hear her whole story. My mind somehow ends up thinking about Ross for a while. He was a nice guy. I don't see was Peyton was talking about. He didn't seem weird at all and definitely not a loner Eventually Ross slips my mind and is replaced by Dallas. It takes all my strength not to break down and cry so I just tune back into Katie's story trying not to think about anything else. -------------------- Who else heard about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut? 20 kids where killed and the ages of the kids were between five and ten years old. I don't understand how someone could do that...
