Grace's House

Amy POV

I had the best day today! I got to go to the library and got 5 free books, and it was huge! It was 4 stories tall with a huge chandelier right in the middle. I had to wait in a very long time to check-out but I got my 5 brand new books. They were called Independence, The Whites of Their Eyes, The Incas, The Emperor and the Saint, and the Greater Journey. Right now I was reading Independence while sitting in Grace's library, waiting for Dan to get here. In fact here should be here any minuet now.

One chapter later and the door bell finally rang. "Why hello Dan," Grace said as Dan walked in. Amy put in her book mark, which was covered with important quotes, and headed towards the door. Amy had just headed into the front of the house when Dan's eyes lit up when he saw her cat, "Hey Saladin!" The cat jumped right up into Dan's arms. Fully satisfied by the cat he said, "Hey Grace, do you know where Amy… Hey Amy, how was the boring library?" Insulted by the question Amy replied, "You know Dan; libraries are not boring to everyone!"

"Well, I sure don't want to be here when this goes all crazy, I will see you later kiddios." Nellie replied while quickly turning around. She gave them a quick wave before getting into her car and driving off.

"I hate it when she calls us that," Dan mumbled as soon as she left. "We are not kids anymore."

"Ha-ha, you are to me. Considering how old I am." Frighten by the sudden out bursting laugh from Grace, Dan started laughing too.

"I hate it when you guys are entertained by the littlest things, I never know if I should laugh or not." But as soon as Amy said the words she started laughing too, when she was done she realized what Grace had said to make her laugh. She quickly blurted out a response to reassure Grace that she stuttered a little. "C…C…Come on Grace! You're not that old!"

"Oh hush and you never stutter."

"That's not t… Oh I get it, but you are really not that old." She hated when she made people feel bad, she wanted Grace to be happy and self-confident again.

"Oh enough of the soft talk," Dan harshly replied making Amy jump. "What are we going to do today?"

"Well, let's have that be a surprise. Just follow me," Grace replied before turning and walking down the hall.

Whispering to Amy, Dan said, "Do you have any idea where she is taking us?" Letting out a huge sigh she replied, "I have no idea; let's just hope it is not some more books on ninjas."

"Oh, that would be so cool. That's reminds me, I want to finish reading those. Hey don't look at my like that! I can like reading books. They have pictures, but that's not the point."

"Actually yeah it is, but like you said the only reason why you read them is because they are about ninjas."

"Yeah, come on we have got to catch up to Grace even though she is old we still have to walk to follow her."

Chuckling came from ahead of them and Grace said, "I heard that Dan, now I shouldn't let you finish reading the books."

Dan's face went into shock and he closed his moth right away. Trying to hide a laugh Amy sped ahead of him to catch up to Grace.

Surprisingly she led them right back into the library, and then looked around as if someone was watching her. Amy never understand why she did that, I guess she was just over precautious about people watching her. She led them over to a shelf and pushed a couple books away to get to this one.

"Wow, I didn't know you hid a book there," Dan said obviously flabbergasted.

"Oh, it was not hidden. I always keep it here, it must of just been pushed through and then fell." Grace's words made it sound like it was nothing but her tone made it seem like she was hiding something.

"Ok, here you go. We are going to play a game, but first even though school is out I still want you guys to learn things. Here you go. Please be careful it is very old." She almost reluctantly handed them a book, and it was titled, "An Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin."

Oooh! A cliff Hanger! Got to read the next chapter to figure out what's going to come next! That's all I have so far, give me ideas for the next chapter!
