The Dark Mews

Kyra: Chapter 2

The next day was Saturday, so Myra and I woke up late. Really late, as in 1:30 pm. Myra was running around mumbling something about being late, so when she ran out the door I decided to follow her. It was pretty easy, given she wasn't the best runner, but I could tell she was headed to the park. I continued following her into the park until I saw her meet up with someone.

"Is that... Kyle?" I wondered to myself. Why is my sister hanging out with the coolest guy in school? So I decided to follow them on their "date" by jumping from tree to tree. I followed them down the street and into the ice cream parlor I passed out in during the earthquake. Luckily, I brought my coat, hat and shades with me, so she wouldn't recognize me. She kept looking at me funny, but I don't think she recognized me. He bought her ice cream, like a gentleman, but I still didn't trust him. I think he's using her for something...something EVIL... Anyways, they sat down and he said something to her. Then he got a phone call, and he left in tears. Myra was crying too, when my hat fell off and she recognized me.

"Kyra, is that you?" she asked, crying really hard.

"Umm, no, this is Mr. Browishiclinson." I replied in a fake deep voice. I don't think she bought it.

"Give it up, I can see you." she laughed, not crying anymore.

"Oh, I didn't see you there! How's your day going?" I replied nervously.

"Not very well. My date's Dad just died in the military." she sadly replied.

"I KNEW YOU WERE ON A DATE! Uh, I mean, I'm sorry for his loss." I caught myself.

"You were SPYING on me?" she asked. I tried to recover myself, but it was too late. She asked me to go home, so I left because she seemed pretty upset. As I was walking home, someone ran in front of me, then ran into the bushes. They were moving too fast for me to see what they looked like, and I didn't feel like looking in the bush to see who they were, because they seemed pretty scared, so I let it go. I went home and watched TV until Myra got home.

"MOM, MYRA'S HOME!" I screamed to my mom.

"Can you come to my room for a second, Kyra?" she asked me.

"Did you finally do something bad?" I asked, excitedly.

"NO. Now come!" she insisted. So I came. She said she was going to show me a love note or something.

"OOH, a LOVE note! So you got a BOYFRIEND?"

"Shut up and read it!" So I read it. It said: Hi my name is Kyle you may not know me but I have been watching you from a distance and I like you. If you would even care to meet I'll be in the park tomorrow at 2 pm. I couldn't believe it! So I started singing:

"Myra and Kyle sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes-" I sang, until she covered my mouth with her hand. Then Mom came in and made us go to bed.
