Hermione helped me tell the story to Kyara in a more convincing way, from the real beginning to end. Only one thought haunted me while Hermione told the story.
How did she come back?
Glancing sideways at me, Hermione paused in her story. She must of heard my worry.
"When Lisa decided not to believe in me she said 'be gone' to me and something went wrong. I didn't know how or why, I just knew we'd be back to see her again. And her I am, so I guess I was right!" finished Hermione.
"So you're really real? This isn't some wild dream from eating too much before going to bed is it?" Kyara asked.
"No it isn't!" said Hermione, laughing. "I'm really real, for those who believe in me."
"You're making this sound like telling little kids Santa Claus is real!" Kyara joked.
Everyone burst out laughing.
"How about we get back to our sleepover then?" I suggested.
"Sounds great!" Kyara and Hermione replied in agreement.
None of us could actually go to sleep, so we decided to watch the Harry Potter movies we missed. No one talked through this time, but it was a friendly silence. Sometimes it's good not to chat all the time! Kyara' s face still showed a bit of disbelief but I probably couldn't believe all this in one night either! For the moment, I was just glad I had two amazing friends.
Suddenly, it was light outside.
"Why's it so bright?" I asked sleepily.
"Hmm, let's see here maybe because it's MORING!" Kyara replied sarcastically.
"That makes sense." I joked back. "Where's Hermione?"
"She went to walk around town, I think to look for Harry and Ron. Does she mean Harry Potter?"
"Probably."
Shaking her head Kyara said, "I almost can't believe this is happening!"
"You'll get used to it," I replied matter-of-factly.
"Do you want to go walk around? I'm getting tired of watching movies!"
"You? Tired of watching movies?" I laughed, "Sure, why not?"
As soon as we got outside, I forgot how warm it was in Tallahassee compared to Sydney. Quickly, I took off my sweat-shirt. All of the sudden, a reasonable short girl with a bit longer than shoulder-length brown hair came running toward us. She had a bag in her hand and was swinging it around yelling "Ahhhhhhhh!" Bewilderment took over my face.
"Hi Kyara Hi! What's up, have you finished Inkheart yet, huh, did you?" said the girl quickly.
"Yeah, I finished it! It was so good, you were right!" said Kyara.
"Aren't I always?"
"OH RIGHT! Maddie, this is Lisa she moved here about a month ago. Lisa this is Maddie, she's one of my good friends too."
"Hey Lisa, I probably scared you running up to you guys like that. That's my dramatic entrance. Even ask Kyara!"
"Just a little," I replied. "Where do you live?"
"Right next to Kyara' s apartment, on the other side."
"No way, I live on the other side of Kyara!"
"Sweet, so then we could all hang out!"
"Yeah." Kyara and I said.
Meeting Maddie was interesting. She seemed really nice, and funny! I just wonder, if I could ever trust her with my secret.
