"I never know what to say when people ask me questions about myself," Zeke laughed. "Well... My dad works for the ministry, department of magical disasters and catastrophes. My mum is a stay-at-home mother. I have so many siblings, she can't really afford to get a job. No time and no one to take care of the kids, you know." He thought for a moment. His family was so... average. What else was there to say? "My dad is great, he's stressed a lot, though. All those mouths to feed and whatnot. It's good that Hannah and I are old enough to go here since he doesn't have to worry about us except in summer. My mum is amazing. She does everything. I admire her a lot." Maybe that was a cheesy answer, but it was the truth, so hey, what the heck.
Camira listened to him attentively, nodding at the appropriate moments. He was a mama's boy. She should have known. "That sounds great, actually. I mean, my mother stayed at home, but she was always busy. Dinner parties to plan and whatnot. And we had quite a few. And if she wasn't busy, I was. Piano lessons, etiquette school, equestrian school, both western and english, though my mother was much fonder of dressing than roping or barrel racing. Anyway, the point was supposed to be to make me proper marriage material. Lovely, right?" If only her parents could see her now. "We did go out on the weekends though. Even that was a lesson sometimes though. If she took me shopping, for example, she would talk incessantly about which types of robes were appropriate for what occasion and why. Things like that. I still had fun with her though." God, she missed her mother sometimes. And even her father, as twisted as that was.
She turned to everyone else then. "Lima, I'm so sorry. I haven't even said hi to you yet. How are you?" She really liked the girl, even though she'd only met her a couple of times.
Now, back to this new guy. Who the heck was he? She gave Whitney her raised eyebrow look. "Going to introduce us, Whit?"
Randomly she noticed Maddox. Hmm. She hadn't noticed him until now. And surprise surprise, he was with some girl. Well, that was not going to fly because he was supposed to take her shopping. But she would deal with that later.
