"I'm Orion" he said. He still felt intimidated but there was something else in the mixture that he couldn't figure out and it made all things worse.
Eli stood straight "calm down I don't bite."
Orion was tracking him as he made his way to his bed. Ele was now sitting on the navy blue quilts across from him. Orion could feel him him stareing so he started figiting with his hands.
-"Am I interupting something." Orion jumped and turned his head to the door. His dad was standing at the door hidden behind two boxes.
"No of course not." Eli replied.
"Ori's not being weird is he?"his dad asked.
"Dad!" Orion yelled his face turning red.
"He's a jumpy one isin't he, "Eli asked again smirking, he found this all amuseing.
"Hahehe, yeah Orion's jumpy one. He's practicaly scared of everything that breathes"
"Dad" Orion said his face turning reder he took the boxes from his dad and placed them on the ground.
"Okay, okay Il'l stop." his father said, trying to get a hold of himself "Okay I'm going to go back down to the lobby and grab the rest of the boxes."
he was about to leave when - " Wait you said it was in the lobby right?" Eli asked
"Yes, the lady let me leave the boxes in the loby because it's pouring outside."
It's raining outside? Orion thoght, he looked outside the window and saw that it was pouring allright. He looked at his fathers clothes and saw that they were drencehed. how did I miss that?
Eli disrupted his thoughts "You don't have to go get them if their down stairs in the lobby we could go get them." he pointed back and forth from him and Orion.
"Sure if that is alright with Orion." they both looked at him waiting for his response.
He felt slightly uncomfterable being on the spot."Yeah that's fine church has probably ended by now you shiuld go home so mom doesn"t get to mad."
His mom was usualy a calm person, but being gone on a sunday or arguing on a sunday was not the best Idea espicialy since punishments ended up being twice as harsh. Even thought she agreed to them going she made it clear that she wanted our father to return home right away after Orion was setteled in.
His father glanced at his wrist watch ¨oh your right, well I probably should get going see you thanksgiving Ori.¨
¨ Bye dad.¨ Orion waved him of. He turned to Eli ¨Okay let´s go get those boxes.¨
¨ Alright,¨ he said already out the door.
.He followed him down the hall and stoped at the elevator. Eli pressed down. a couple of minuets later the doors slided open. they entered and stood on the other end of the elevator, he could feel his eyes watching him, stareing.
¨ Why are you so catious around me?¨ Eli asked his arms folded.
¨There is something about you, something I can´t place my finger on.¨ He answered picking his words carefuly.
¨And...¨ Eli waited.
The elevator beeped as it counted down the levels.
¨Ï don´t like it.¨
¨ding!¨ the doors to the elevator slided open.
