"Well, can I tell you something I've never told anyone else?"
She wasn't!
"My sister is actually my half-sister. Her dad left my mam because he thought she was a freak just because she's a witch."
Yep, she just had! Well she'd have to talk about it sooner or later.
"Only, my family don't know I know that. I overheard them talking one day..."
The mood was officaially down...
"So we won't get in trouble if the professor comes in here?"
They'd better not, Jake was just helping her with work! If anything, he should get points for helping! Actually, they should really get back to that...
"Don't be," Jake shrugged. Why did people keep apologising? It was almost as if... it was their fault. But it wasn't their faults.
It was Ava's fault.
And
Marie.
Hmmm? Oh... confiding. Jake could handle that. "I see," Jake nodded. Wellll... "I don't have any full siblings. I have a step-sister and a step-brother that my biological father adopted when he married their mother, and then there's Dale, my little half-brother, and the twins, who are my half-brothers, I think... oh, and Daniel, oldest half-brother. In my new family there's Ava. She's the real daughter, so... I don't know... I never liked her. Because she's my mum and dad's real kid, and I'm just the one they adopted."
Why was he going into this? It was just depressing.
"Families are completely diverse. There's secrets and lies in every single one. You'll never find the perfect family."
Uh. Yeah. Enough of that.
"Anyway. Runes. Was there anything else you didn't get in the lesson? Like the carving and the galdr and stuff?"
