"Come on Michael. Open it! I wanna know what he said!"
Michael and Debbie had spent every day together since Billy left. Just talking. If they needed to escape from a drunk father or annoying mother, the other was usually there at the old wall, they were talking about the unopened letter from Billy that was crumpled in Michael's pocket.
"Alright, alright. I'll read it. Be patient Debbie." He fished the letter out from his pocket,filled with peppermints,cherry lolliepops from Debbie, and a set of house keys. He opened the letter and unfolded the parchment.
" 'Dear Michael,
I miss you alot, tons really. I haven't made alot of friends here. Just one. Her name is Sirenelly Belle. I call her Siren. She's a pretty girl with flowing red hair and sparkling bright green eyes. She's a very nice girl. Like a mixture of you and Debbie. She's thirteen,and tiny,in height and weight.
I have very good news Michael. I'm coming home for the full four months of summer break! I wrote to dad and Tony and Siren can come with me! Don't worry, she's very friendly. I told her everything I know about you and she's absolutely dying to meet you.
She's looking forward to meeting everyone here.
I miss you all.
I'm going to be pulling into the station on June 8th at nine am. I hope I see you there.
Love,
Billy
XOXO'"
Michael nearly fell off the wall he and Debbie were sitting on. Debbie choked on her cherrylolliepop,Michael had to pat her on the back. Billy was coming home! They hopped off the wall, hugged their goodbyes, and ran off to tell their mother's. said Debbie could go as long as was o.k. with it and she brought Billy around. Debbie promised and ran off to speak to the Elliot's. On the way,Michael ran into her-literally.
"Ow! Michael!"
"Sorry Debbie."
they got up and ran to the Elliot's. Very soon had said they could come and they would just wait until it was time to go in thirteen days.
They really couldn't wait.
