Chapter 17 - Thanks

Maria was nervously walking through hallway. She had just received a text from Gabby, stating that she wouldn’t be home for the week because she had to fly down to Ireland for her grandmother who wasn’t even Irish’s funeral.
A few seconds later, she had received a text from her mother, saying that he couldn’t be home for the week because she was going to Ireland for Gabby’s grandmother who she didn’t even know’s funeral.
She had nowhere to go!
Originally, she was going to ask Vicky if she could stay at her house for the week, but after she figured out that Sara and her memories of Ryan were staying there to, she cancelled those plans.
Now, she was pacing the hallway, hoping that some random person would invite her over.
“Maria?”
She turned around.
It was Conrad.
“Oh. Hi. I see you’ve recovered,” Maria said.
“Yeah. I heard your dilemma that you have no where to stay,” Conrad said.
“Oh. . . How?” Maria asked.
“Umm,” Conrad replied.
They were silent. It was incredibly awkward.
“You can come over to my house if you please,” Conrad offered.
“Oh!” Maria gasped, covering her mouth in shock. “Oh. Boqay.”
The door to their left burst open, and Logan emerged. Maria stepped back in shock.
“Me, Lukas, and Shanaynay need a place to stay too!” Logan said.
“Sure,” Conrad replied.
“Wait, I have one question,” Maria said, “Why are you offering this to us? Have we been nice?”
“Just think of it as a thanks for 2 days ago,” Conrad smiled.
