Kendall climbed out her window. She had to go meet Kick for their arrangement. They had both decided that it was best to work this out at night, since one didn't want to be seen with the other. She glanced at her watch. It was 8:00 at night.
Kendall tugged at her shoulder bag. In it were some books, a helmet, and kneepads. Since Kick would most likely force her to do something that would end painfully, she skipped out on her usual skirt and wore pants. Kendall sighed, she would NEVER be able to get her required 8 hours of sleep now!
Kendall trudged to Widowmakers Peak. Kick, apparently, had found the 'most awesome yet available meeting place ANYWHERE.' She was supposed to meet him at Widowmakers peak so he could take her there. After finally scaling the climb, she met Kick at the top.
"What took you so long?"
"Nevermind that, where's this place you told me about?"
Kick slammed his skateboard to the floor, then picked up Kendall. "Clarence..." she said threateningly. "Hold on!" he commanded, then dove down the impossible cliff. Kendall clutched Kick tightly, screaming like her life was dependent on it. Which in a way, it was.
They were gaining speed quickly, passing their surroundings in a blur. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Kick grabbed a tree and swung them both into a cave. Kendall landed face first, and quickly got up and dusted herself off. "You could give me a warning beforehand CLARENCE!" She snarled. Kick merely shrugged "If I did, would you have come?" he asked as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. He did have a point though.
The cave was INSANELY large, with enough room to study and prepare Kendall for her stunt. It was well concealed, and Kendall bet the only reason Kick found it was some sort of failed stunt. It had a surprisingly clear view and was lighted well, despite it being wonderfully hidden from all suspecting eyes.
Despite the crazy ride to get here, it was perfect.
Kendall gave up and sat down. "Okay Clarence, start your watch. Your tutoring begins now. Then we can get into stunts." Kick was going to protest, but thought better of it and sat down. Kendall handed him a book The Westing Game. She pulled out her own copy and began reading the first few pages. Then, she moved over so that instead of facing Kick, she was next to him.
"Now Kick, try to remember who these people are, because that's important. This is a mystery, so feel free to put a mark in places you think may hold clues. After all, annotating leads to better reading..."
