THIS IS NO DOUBT A FILLER CHAPTER. THATS WHY ITS SO SHORT. SINCE THE NEXT CHAPTER IS GOING TO BE A DREAM, AND THAT DEMANDS MORE CREATIVITY, I WHANTED TO GIVE MYSELF A LITTLE WHILE TO LET THE IDEAS COME TO ME.

DISCLAIMER- I'M OUT OF WITTY EXPRESSIONS STATING THAT I DO NOT OWN NATURALLY, SADIE.

CHAPTER 2: HOME

Sadie got home to find an eerily ( sp? ) empty house.

" Mom? " She called out. " Dad? " She put her coat which she had been carrying on the coat rack. She then walked further into the house, where she found a note taped to the refridgerator.

Sadie,

Your father and I went to go run some errands. Will be back around 4ish. I got you an appointement with a wonderful piano teacher in preparation for the winter festival. The appointement is at three thirty at the hall. Try not to be late. I will pick you up and the hall when your lesson is over, so you dont have to walk home in the dark. See you when we get home sweetie! Love you!

-Mom

Sadie re read her mothers note. She couldnt believe her mother had got her an appointement with somone she's never met, with out even telling her! The least she could do was tell er if it was a guy. Sadie had a thing about playing in front of a guy. Weridly enough, it felt more comfortable then playing for a girl, such as her current piano teacher, Miss Swan. Miss S. was nice and everything, but playing in front of a woman teacher always seemed as if they were judging her. The time where Miss Swan was on maternity leave and her husband took over, Sadie felt way more comfortable.

Suddenly something occured to Sadie. What if Ben called, and she was at her lesson? She had told him she would be home all day! What if she missed his call? Worse, what if Hal answer the phone when he did eventually call? There was nothing to do but wait for three thirty to roll around, and prey Ben called before she had to leave. She glanced at the clock on the stove. 1:45. She had two hours untill she had to leave for the hall, which meant Ben had two hours to call.

The hall was the place where Sadie had been taking her piano lessons since she was five. It was about 5 minutes away, fifteen on foot. She ad the route memorised. Three blocks down, untill you get to the house with the bush shaped like an elephant, make a right, keep going untill you get to the traffic light, make a left, and your there.

Sadie stood in the kitchen for about thirty seconds, untill she realised she still had her extreemley heavy book bag slain across her shoulder. She ran upstairs to put them in her room. When she got there, she plopped the heavy bag onto ther chair, and to lazy to walk all the way back downstairs, laid down on the bed and staired at the ceiling. She began to think about things. All kinds of things. Hal, the recital she had comming up, school, Marget and Rain, Ben... Ben. She smiled at the very thought of him. She started thinking about Ben. Everything about him. His hair, his pictures, chimo, his smile, his eyes, his eyes. How much she completley adored those beautiful brown eyes, and how they seemed to sparkle each time he got excited, and how they seemed so dark and mysterious every time he took out his camera and began snapping pictures. She clozed her eyes and thought about Ben. She began getting more and more tired. Soon she found it to tiring to even think of Ben, even though she whanted to. She felt herself drifting farther and farther away, away from her room, away from everything she was feeling. Then she fully crossed over into dreamland, and fell asleep.

OKAY SO THE DREAMLAND THING WAS CORNY, BUT I COULDNT FIND THE RIGHT WORD TO EXPRESS HOW I WHANTED THE MOOD. WHATEVER. ITS OKAY. SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS, AND I REALLY WHANT SOME RESPONCES!
