The Comeback

SEVEN

I got no sleep last night.

I had too many things running through my head.

Mostly just Ryan and the others.

Like I know I have to tell them sooner or later who I am, or they might figure it out.

When I got home I was bombarded with questions from Anna Maria.

Who's bookbag was that? What are your friends names? Have you seen your old ones?

I didn't give her any information not wanting to hear talk even more.

But now it's 5:30 and I have an hour before I go to Ryan's for breakfast.

At first I didn't remember him having a sister, but now it clicked she was never hime always hanging with her friends. Her and Anna Mariah are the same age.

I'm crossing my fingers they don't run into eachother.

Then my cover is blown.

I get myself ready, showering, brushing my teeth, then getting dressed.

Its a little cooler than yesterday, so I decided in wear my new blue romper to wear with my strappy sandals.

The romper is longsleveed, so I wont need a jacket. I put my hair into a cute bun before applying mascara and perfume.

I grab my bag and walk I to the kitchen where my sisters and Charles are talking.

"I'm going to a friends house for breakfast." I say grabbing my water bottle.

"Who's your friend?" Sarah asks with a smirk.

"None of your business." I say sticking my tongue out at her.

"Is it your guy friend from the party?" Charles asks.

"Guy friend? Party?" Anna Maria asks with a grin.

"Yes it is, but others will be there too." I say rolling my eyes.

"I'll drop you off." Anna Maria says.

"Uh no. Your just trying be nosy and plus he lives two houses down I can walk." I say putting hands up.

"Wait, are they the Ryans?" Charles asks tilting his head.

Crap.

I nod.

"They are nice people." Charles nod.

"Who are nice people?" My mom says walking into the kitchen.

"Our neighbors that brought those cookies for us. Juliana and James."

My mom stops for a second then looks at me.

"The Ryans. As in Teddy and Santana?" My mom says before her mouth drops.

"Wait. You're hanging out with Teddy?" Anna Maria says in front of me.

"Dear God yes! But he doesnt know that I'm me. No one does." I say adjusting my stance.

"What do you mean they dont know it's you?" My mom asks.

"They don't that it's me Mary Grace Kosak. I'm Just Mary. Like literally just mary." I say with a half chuckle at the end.

"I'm confused." Charles says.

"Yeah me too. Who's teddy again?" Sarah asks.

"Some guy." I say shaking my head.

"Isnt that considered lying Mary Grace?" My mom asks tilting her head at me.

"No, I'm just not telling them whole truth." I shrugg.
