Mr. and Mrs. Atkins rounded us up at the kitchen table. Zeke was sent back upstairs to get Dave from their room, and Mrs. Atkins hurried to clear off the leftovers from dinner.
"We'll be holding a family meeting on this one boys." Mr. Atkins told us as he got rid of the folding table and spare chairs. "It seems like you boys are getting better at keeping secrets. And I'm sure Kyle will have something to say when he gets home as well."
Noah and I sat back in our usual seats. Zeke returned with a bewildered Dave, Mr. Atkins finished moving the spare furniture, then Mrs. Atkins was the last to join us after clearing up all the dishes.
"Why don't you tell us more about Marie?" Mrs. Atkins stared Noah down.
Noah glanced at me, then at Zeke and Dave on the other side of the table. "I don't know anything about her. Really. Kaylee's nice. We have some of the same teachers, but none of the same classes." Noah looked and sounded like he was hiding something.
Power outage at home today=not being able to charge phone=no WiFi=unhappy camper. Just one today, sorry guys. I’ll try and make up for it tomorrow if I can.
Just to elaborate even more...this power outage was scheduled for six hours, no biggie. Now we’re on hour fifteen and it just happens to be the hottest day of the month. Phone been at ten percent all day even when i tried charging it in the car.
