Things Get Worse Over Time
Chapter 4
The unfamiliar face, so handsome, I wasn't even sure how to
explain him. All I know is his eyes
were the only thing that really stood out on him, They shone so
bright that someone could easily see them in the pitch black
darkness.
He looks down at me, with a smile across his face. I turn back
around, slowly
to see my cousins face, he actually looks some what terrified
& a little off edge.
"Well what ever it was, it is gone now." A guard says
with a hoars voice. Each guard turns there flashlights off, &
the head of the group who is in all black speaks into his head
phone.
But the guard in front of me is still looking in my direction.
His brown ruffled hair, & his young face
with the brown eyes seem to have pain in them.
"Hey James,Please attend the group." Another guard says
to him.
He shuffles in his spot then looks back at th guard,
"Yes."
He goes back with his group
"Why were just staring off into space over there?" The
older guard asks James.
"I thought i saw something but it was nothing." He says
looking back at me, & this time I could've sworn he
looked directly at me.
The guards run back to where ever they came from.
We all wait a few minutes then my cousin pokes his head out of
his hiding spot. He then in a swift movement jumps across to
me.
He stands up tall with his chest slightly puffed out, to seem
some what vulnerable. I stand up slowly from my croutching
position. The boy doing the same thing.
"Your really stupid for doing that!" I yell at him,
only in a whisper tone.
He ignores me, his eyes move from mine to the boys
He just stands there, about the same height of Atrayu, so i have
to look up just to see his face, with a huge smile on his face
& his eyes gleaming with happiness. He starts to speak
"Hello, my name is Everrett" he says as he extends his
hand out for a shake.
I reach out with me right hand, only hesitating, & place my
left hand over my forearm to shake his hand.
Putting our left hand over our right forearm was another change
they made. It is subbosably meant to be polite. We are suppose to
do this when ever we extend our right hand to either give someone
something or to shake hands with another.
He does the same with my cousin. The only time i can ever notice
a change in my cousin is when it comes to other people he gets a
weird vide from. And in this case i can see his face harden, the
same way it does in a case like this.
I look back at Everrett, who stands there like a tower.
Is he a Roamer?
I am to afriad to ask, because i am not sure if it would be
consider impolite. So I keep my mouth shut.
& if he is a Roamer then they are completely different people
than the ones that are said in the rumors.
"Where have you come from?" My cousins speaks up.
"Excuse me?" He says, keeping his eyes on my cut
arm.
I look down & notice it is bleeding pretty badly, it
must've reopened.
"Do you live in Central Point?"Atrayu asks.
"Whats that?" he replies, now looking at Atrayu.
"You're a Roamer?" I say, with out realizing what i
said.
"Roamer?" he hesitates. "Yeah i guess i am a
Roamer."Atrayu looks at me, & then at him curiously.
"Do you even know what a Roamer means?" He says
Everrett waits, he looks around, his bright eyes shining from the
lights behind us.
"I have heard the term, but i have never intentionally
explain myself as being such a thing."
His english, suprisingly, was very well said.
That is another thing that got changed, we have to have a very
high vocabulary & be able to speak English Language our
teachers taught us through out the years.
Because his english is well spoken we have to speak politly to
him and have our english spoken well too. This way he is able to
understand what we are saying. Because my cousin taught me the
way the older Patrons spoke both me & him can understand
eachother, while other people are unable to process it through
their mind
"As for you living conditions, where is your family located
at this moment?" I ask.
His eyes shoot to mine,
"As for my family, there is no current conection. I am in an
environment with other Roamers of the same kind. We survive off
eachothers habits." He says to me.
I look at my cousin, as for our plan, this is what we needed.
He knows what i am thinking, and he nodds
"Can you take us to where your location currently is? Is
there allowed to be visitors of our sort?"
He nodds his black hair shaking. His lean body shifts he turns
around slowly.
"Please if you may, follow behind me." He says.
