Chapter Two
I slowly walked away from the house. I heard a slam..as if a door were to close tightly and fast. I turned to look back.
"Good night!" stargirl called, wide-awake, smiling.
I smiled back and continued walking home. I knew I would receive some sort of comment when I quietly walked through the front door of my home.
"Huh, and let me guess this time, stargirl," Kevin's voice sounded so evil when he mentioned her. The phone had rung when I walked in, how could I not have known it would be him, talking about her.
"You gotta stop dude," he said hurting my feelings.
"I can't, I love her. You know that. Everyone else knows just as well too." I wasn't going to let him make me not love Susie. She was so different though. I don't know what made me love her, but I did. I just did. I couldn't feel as happy as I do around her.
"Look, I have to go. Please tell me this is a phase..you can stay hooked on this girl forever," Kevin concluded feeling like a failure. I was glad he failed. If he had won me over, I would have no choice but to hate me.
I wasn't happy about Kevin trying to persuade me to not love Stargirl. Kevin was my greatest friend and all, but don't you think he should at least respect her and her privacy? Maybe just for once instead of ignoring her because she is different..very different.
People weren't like that anymore. You can't change them. They like to think what they think. If you aren't a part of "them" then you are ignored and treated horribly. Why they do as they do, never rang a bell.
When I try to change Stargirl, she changes, but she actually shows the true way us jerks look.So popular and snotty. When she is herself, she is well, normal. All of the rest of "us" like Hillary, are well, sort of selfish. We are just to ignorant to realize it.
"Where have you been Leo? You have school tomorrow. You shouldn't be out partying with your friends," Ugh. The sound of my family voice in disappointment made me sort of laugh. I had to be serious though.
"I was out with Stargirl." I had nothing else to say..
"Who is Stargirl?" My mom asked me.
"Susie..Susie Caraway."
"Ahhh..isn't she the sweetest little thing? always bringing us little gift baskets of sugar cookies. She is a very nice young lady, you be nice to her," she said warning me.
"Mom, I know," I said doubting that I would ever hurt Stargirl's feelings.
I let out as drastic sigh, shaking my head. I walked upstairs. I changed for bed. I sat on my bed under the covers. I tucked myself in that night. I tried to fall asleep but I felt something move toward my face. I opened my eyes and gasped. Cinnamon must have jumped out of Stargirl's pocket!
I chuckled.
"We must be having a sleepover! Did you tell her?" I said acting like Cinnamon could talk.
He shook his head.
"Oh no little fella, we will have to hurry tomorrow and get to her house to make sure she doesn't freak that you are missing," I said sincerely.
