"Are you sure this works? You know, without messing up my laptop?" Kira asked her friend Lisa. They were supposed to be reading a book for their summer reading homework, but Lisa thought it would be easier to watch the movie. She couldn't find it on any of their usual websites, so Lisa decided to download it instead (this girl is seriously lazy). But it was taking forever to finish.
As the movie slowly loaded, Lisa replied, "Of course this will work Kira." But, as usual, Lisa was wrong. Apparently the download could not be completed until some program was installed into the laptop. "I'm not installing anything into my laptop, Lisa. If something goes wrong, my mom will get a knife and chop my head off," Kira said. Lisa groaned and argued, "Well, I am not reading the book. It takes too much time, and besides, classic books are pretty boring in my point of view."
After five minutes of debating in a professional way (meaning arguing like seven-year-olds), Kira sighed and suggested, "How about I read the book to you?" Lisa smiled, grabbed a pillow, got comfortable on Kira's bed, and replied, "Alright. Go on ahead." Kira groaned again."Why are you so lazy?" "I don't know. It's just my personality. But the faster this goes, the more time we can spend at the beach," was Lisa's answer. Kira laughed and began to read aloud The Phantom of the Opera.
At first, everything was perfect. The words came out of Kira's mouth like music, sweet and beautiful. Kira read through the first few pages smoothly, like the rolling hills in the countryside. Lisa was amazed by her best friend's skill. They'd known each other since kindergarten, but this skill had been a secret all that time. Kira was just as surprised. How can I read like this? she wondered in her mind, but she kept on reading.
Suddenly, Lisa screamed. Before her very eyes, a dress had appeared! It was the kind of dress used in plays, and there as a French look to it. Kira stopped mid-sentence and darted her eyes around the room to see the reason of Lisa's scream. Her dark eyes fell on the dress. Neither of the girls owned a dress like that, so how did it get there? Kira and Lisa looked at each other, unsure what to do.
For a few moments, the room was completely silent. You could have heard a pin drop. Slowly, Lisa unfroze from her fright and said, "Kira? Call me crazy., but I think….I think it came from the book."
