Running With the Wolves
Chapter 3
When Kate dropped me off, I said thank you and went to my room. In the safety of my room, I called Bree.
“What do you know about Jake Ruiz?” I asked her.
“Dr. and Mrs. Ruiz adopted him, Kate, Garret, Quil and Leah. Kate and Quil are brother and sister and so is Leah and Garret,” she said. I didn’t know who Garret, Leah and Quil were. “Garret and Kate are a couple. They are in college now. Quil, Leah and Jake are juniors like us.”
“Thanks. Call you later,” I told her, then hung up.

I found that Jake was in my world history, algebra, and English class, Leah was in my trig class, and Quil was in my science, gym, biology, and English classes.
In science, I sat by Quil. He had brown hair that was combed forward hiding his deep brown eyes. He was a dark tan color and tall. Quil and I happened to be partners for the classproject this time. I learned a lot about him. Although when I would bring up things like what he liked to do, what he thought of his family, and stuff like that he would change the topic instantly. I thought it was strange but I liked it. He made me laugh. When I laughed I could feel Nick looking at me. I didn’t know if he knew how uncomfortable that made me.
After class, Quil took me to my English class.
Mr. Madigan gave a speech about a book called “The Lightning Thief”. I already read the book so I paid no attention. Neither was Quil or Jake. But they still kept their eyes on him. Quil was as still as a statue. Every 5 minutes he would move. Jake would be still for 30 seconds. Then he would start to fidget with the pen in his hand.
The bell rang a few minutes after Mr. Madigan’s speech. He assigned us a project on, “The Lightning Thief”.
