Wait For Me
When the days get longer, the nights get shorter, and summer begins, normal teenagers are outside, surfing on Malibu's beautiful coastline. The word 'normal' doesn't even begin to describe Mika. She sat in front of her computer, talking to Lil. After the big move, from Ireland to Malibu USA, it was the only way. The sun shone in the window, and Mika shied away from the light. Her small frame and pale skin showed more about her then her blank, listless eyes. Her mother, a tall thin woman with a cruel face and a kind heart, walked over to her and began to talk to her.
"Go to the beach. You'll have fun!" she insisted. Mika shook her head and returned to her computer. She typed the last word, and her mouse hovered over then send button. Her mother walked over to the wall, and pull out the plug.
"Go." Mika walked dejectedly out of the door. The sunlight burned on her skin, and she immediately turned back to the door, only to find it closed. She tried to turn the handle, but it wouldn't turn. Locked outside. So she sat on her porch, hoping someone would finally rescue her.
Miley and Lily chattered on and on about the new guy at school, Lief.
"Have you seen his butt?" Lily exclaimed, then she covered her mouth. Miley giggled softly.
"Nice, Lils" she commented. Lily blushed.
"But it's cute" she whispered. Miley laughed. The two of them continued to walk, comparing their attraction to the new boy.
Meanwhile, Mika sat sadly on her front porch, missing her fan. It was so hot here! Or at least, hotter then Ireland. Then she heard two girls talking. Her natural shyness made her want to run, but she held her ground. Maybe they would be friendly?
Miley and Lily turned around the corner, still talking about boys, when they saw Mika. Miley looked quizzically at Lily, then she walked up to the girl.
"Hey, I'm Miley" she said. Mika shied away.
"Aw, come on" said Lily. She held out her hand. Miley slapped it away.
"Lily, she's not a dog." Lily blushed.
"Sorry" she mumbled. Mika looked curiously at the two friends.
"Hello" she whispered.
What's up with her? wondered Miley.
What's up with her? wondered Mika.
I want a hot dog thought Lily.
Oh, gosh.
