When Dana came home from school her mother could tell she had a *much*
better day than she thought she would. Dana came running in with Missy
trailing behind her. They both ran past her gave the brief "hi mom, bye
mom" ran up to the room they shared and closed the door behind them.

Up in their room

Missy was holding up a Polaroid of me and Fox. It's of us after school, we were hanging out in the courtyard. We were talking about how lucky we were to have a lot of the same classes (I only had two classes apart from him all day). Then we started talking about something I forget. Then were laughing over something and that's when she must have taken it.
"So who's the hunk?"
Missy raised her eyebrow at me. So I told her about how we met when I was in first grade and he was in second.
"Awww... sounds like a cute little love story to me."
"Oh shut up! He's just a friend."
Thought I was still trying to convince myself of that in my head.
"So you wouldn't mind if I..."
"Missy! He's older than *me*, that means he's *way* older than you!"
"Sounds like jealousy to me..."
Missy was smirking at me... I didn't like that, so I hit her over the head with a pillow. She was about to hit me back when mom called me down stairs. I caught a glimpse of myself in our full-length mirror on the way by. My hair was a mess and my lip-gloss was smudged so I just wiped it all off. I was still wearing my jeans from school but I had thrown a baggy sweatshirt on over top of my t-shirt. I went down the stairs two at a time in an abnormally good mood. When I got down stairs, my mom was smiling at me and told me that the nice boy from first grade Fox was at my door. I pulled my sweatshirt off and grabbed Missy's hairbrush off the hallway table and ran it through my hair really fast. Then I went into the front door, to find my mom standing there talking to Fox. I smiled and he smiled back.
"Wanna go for a walk?"
I turned to my mom and she nodded her head so I smiled and grabbed my sneakers from next to the door. I then walked outside with them in my hand. He took my other hand and we walked. The rocks hurt my feet, but after a while, our conversation took my mind off that and I completely forgot my shoes were even in my hand.
"Would you like me to take my shoes off too so you don't feel so weird?"
I blushed slightly at my forgetfulness, but what can I say, this guy could make you forget anything.
"Nah"
I leaned on Fox and flipped one shoe on, then the other, and then I kneeled down and laced them up. Our walk took us through the woods on edge of where the houses stop, (I never realized they weren't that big before), until we came to a semi clearing surrounded by trees. There was a small lake and a stump next to the lake, but only a single tree stood alone in the clearing. Fox walked over to it so I followed. He traced the letters carved into it on one side.
"Sam and Fox... was she your girlfriend?"
"No... she was my sister..."
"Oh... what happen..."
He put on a fake smile.
"Hey wanna wade in the water?"
"Fox... what happen to her?"
"If I tell you you'll think I'm crazy..."
"No I won't..."
"Promise?"
"...I promise..."
"She was...uh...taken."
"By who?"
"Uhm... I have to tell you the whole story for you to understand."
"Well... I don't have to be back till six..."
He sighed and led me over to the edge of the lake. We took off our shoes and socks and rolled up our pants. Then we sat on the edge of the stump and dangled our feet into the water. He then sighed again and told me the whole story of his sister. All the way from the day she was brought home from the hospital to how he froze and he couldn't even save her. At the end, he was in tears and I couldn't help but try to comfort him. I pulled him into a hug and he hugged me back. I felt him put one arm on my back and burry in other in my hair. I rubbed one of my hands up and down his back as I felt him shake with tears.
"It'll be okay Fox... you'll find her..."
He pulled back and looked into my eyes.
"No one believes me, why would they help me find her?"
"I believe you... I'll help you find her... I promise."
He smiled at me and I smiled back. Then just as we were leaning in close again and he brought his hand up to cup my face, I saw his watch.
"Oh my god, Fox! I'm late its seven thirty!"
His eyes widened and we both jumped up. He leaned down and scooped up his shoes and threw them on with the laces already tied. I scooped mine up and threw them on too. We then ran all the way home. When I got there everyone was done dinner and upstairs. I walked over to mom and waited for my punishment.
"Will you get that plate over there for me Dana."
I don't believe this she doesn't even sound upset.
"Sure..."
"So, did you have fun."
"Mom, I was late... aren't you gunna punish me, or something?"
She turned around to look at me.
"No."
"But, daddy..."
She cut me off.
"Your father is not home yet, he called to tell me he would be a little late. He doesn't know you were late...and he doesn't need to."
I could feel my jaw practically hit the floor and my eyes must have been as big as the plate in my hand. Mom smiled at me.
"He's a nice boy."
