Enigma

Chapter 7- Arabella

I sat down on the empty seat beside Lucas. Hudson was still grinning like a fool.

“Hi! We didn’t get to introduce ourselves properly before. I am Hudson.” I opened my mouth to reply but he cut me off. “I know you are Arabella. This one here is Archer.” This time I just nodded knowing full well that he would just keep talking. “Your name is too long. Can I call you Bella?”

I scrunched my nose at that.

“Aria will be fine.”

“Okay.” Hudson said laughing.

“So how are you liking Greycoast so far? It must be a great change from Australia to here.”

“The weather is really nice here.” Lucas replied.

I nodded.

“Lucas said you used to go to Redwood high. Why did you change? You must have left a lot of friends behind.” Hudson enquired.

I scoffed at the word friends and took a bite out of my pizza slice.

“My siblings actually. They still go there. I just needed a change I guess.”

“Siblings?” Archer asked.

That’s the first word he said since the lunch started.

“Yeah. Five of them actually. Three of them are in high school. Two are in middle school and one is just five. My mom home schools him.”

I don’t know why but I felt free talking to them.

“Wow. You have quite a big family.”

Hudson’s eyes flashed with sadness. I wonder what happened to him.

“Oh yeah. That’s just my immediate family. My family is way bigger than that. There are so many uncles and aunts. Eros couldn’t even remember their names at times.” I told him grinning.

“You seem to love them a lot.”

Hudson’s face fell and so did Archer and Lucas’s.
