The surfers and skaters stayed away from each other so there wouldn't be another fight. They were doing pretty well until Kaitlin wanted to look around the house. No one wanted to go with her. So, she put on her rollerblades and skated out of the room. She got near the stairs and heard her name behind her. She turned and didn't see anything. She turned back around and found herself flying down the stairs.

"Fuck!" she yelled when she landed at the bottom, "Oh shit." She couldn't move her left foot. She sat up and moved until she felt the wall's support behind her back.

"Are you okay?" she heard. She peered up to see Bradin standing in front of her.

"Yeah I'm fine," she said. He leaned on the railing as he looked down at her. "What?" she asked.

"I'm waiting for you to ask for help."

"I don't need help," she said moving to get up. "Ah fuck," she saidsitting back down.

"Uh huh," he said kneeling down next to her, "Come on."

"A surfer is helping a skater. What is wrong with this picture?" she asked.

He laughed at what she said. She took his hand and stood up. She tried not to put pressure on her left foot that much.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Fine," she said as she skated off slowly with a limp here and there. He watched her. She looked amazing in her shorts and tang top. The only things he would change were her rollerblades. Even though they went with whatever she wore because they were black, he didn't like them that much on her. It destroyed her beauty. He decided to follow her to see where she was going.

Kaitlin skated through the kitchen and into another room. She liked the way it was decorated. She imagined it without all of the dust. It would look amazing. In the room was a cabinet filled with books. She skated up to it and looked through the glass at the books. As she looked at the spines of the books at the titles, one caught her eye. She opened up the glass and took the book out of the cabinet. She blew on the book causing dust to fly everywhere. She coughed and waved her hand in front of her face. She looked at the title. 'The House Knows All' it read. She opened it up and looked through it. There was nothing on the pages. She flipped to the beginning of the book and saw two pages filled out.

"What are you looking at?" someone asked causing her to jump. She turned around and saw Bradin.

"Are you following me?" she asked.

"I might be," he said walking up to her as she put the book back where she found it.

"I was looking through the books," she told him. She turned around to skate away when she saw Bradin staring at her. "What are you looking at?" she asked before skating away.

He sighed. "At how wonderful you look," he said out loud when she was far enough away so she wouldn't hear him.

Kaitlin skated in what she thought was the library due to all of the books. She skated over to the desk in the center of the room and began to take her skates off. She went for her left skate when she felt pain shoot through her entire leg. She flinched at how much it hurt. As she sighed giving up on taking it off, a figure walked in front and stood in front of her.

"Stop following me!" she yelled when she saw Bradin, again. He reached for her skate. "What are you doing?" she asked pushing him away.

"I was going to help you get your skate off," he said.

"I can do it myself," she said.

"Then, take it off."

Kaitlin glared at him and took her skate off fast not caring if she felt pain. Once it was off, she held it in her hands and bit her lip. She lied back on the desk as she held her ankle and foot.

Bradin watched as Kaitlin lied on the desk. Right there and then, he wanted to crawl up on top of her and kiss her. He actually wanted to do her. He decided to sit there and wait until she talked to him after complaining about her pain. All he actually wanted to do was admire her looks.

She sat up and looked at him. "Why are you here?" she asked.

"I'm here to pass school," he said.

"Ha-ha," she said sarcastically, "Funny boy."

"I know," he said.

"I meant why are you here…with me?" she asked. "I'm a skater and you're supposed to hate me."

"I don't hate you," he said, "I know that on the inside of that beauty, there's a girl who is amazing."

She looked at him with a weird look. "You are so crazy," she said.

"Why am I crazy?" he asked. "It's the truth. Don't deny it."

"Fuck it's untrue," she said hopping off the desk and landing on her right foot.

"Why are you acting like a bitch?" he asked.

"It's who I am," she told him picking up her skates.

"Now, that's untrue," he said, "I've seen you around your friends. You make them laugh and smile. There is good in you."

"Why are you talking to me?"

"I want to get to know you," he said calmly.

"You know me," she said, "Now leave me alone."

"I don't know you," he said, "All I know about you is that your name is Kaitlin, you love to skate, and you love to read mysteries."

"How'd you know the last part?" she asked.

"You always get into the books that we read in class," he said, "You read mystery books outside of school when you're not around your friends."

"Are you a stalker?" she asked.

"No. I've just seen you around Playa Linda. And, if you hate surfers, why did you say yes to the assignment or try to trade with someone else?"

"I wasn't going to leave Omayra," she said, "Plus, I'm here for school."

"We all are. None of us want to be here. Well, most of us."

"Tanner's only here to get his freak on with some chick," she said.

Bradin laughed. "You're right. That's why he's here."

"That dude has major sex problems," she said as she began to limp away.

"Do you actually think that this house is haunted?" he asked as he walked up beside her.

"It could be. I need proof, though, to answer yes or no," she said.

"Would you stay up all night just to see if it is?"

"I would."

"Then, do it."

"I will.
