"Hey Flippy," Bella said to him as he joined her and Josive. "Yeah, we actually found the new kid. He ran off really fast though, not sure why. What about you? Anything interesting happen?" she said, finishing her food as Josive voiced his concern. "I agree, this not knowing is a bit tricky. There's nothing in the journal about it?" she asked. Lino walked into the cafeteria on high-alert. [i]I can't get caught in here,[/i] he thought to himself. [i]Where is she?[/i] He scanned the crowded cafeteria for any sign of his sister. [i]There![/i] Right next to the kid that had just escorted him here was Bella, talking to the two at the table. She looked much older than when he had last seen her. She seemed fine, even happy. [i]I suppose I didn't completely screw things up for her,[/i] he thought. He almost wanted to go up to Bella and tell her how sorry he was for all the trouble he had caused. But he couldn't seem to convince himself to actually go up to her. What if she hated him now? What if she could not forgive him? And anyways, seeing him here would probably big a big shock. He didn't want to startle her so much on only the second day of school. So instead he turned around and walked back out the doors. [i]Time to move on for now,[/i] he thought. [i]I have to find someplace safe to stay before it gets too late.[/i]
