Kaitlin was having trouble getting to sleep that night. Yes, she told Bradin that she would stay up and see if the house really was haunted. But, she wasn't in a good mood to stay up and have everyone else down there making so much noise. She liked it better when she was alone and in the quiet. As she lied there, she heard a knock on the door. She groaned and got up. She walked over to the door and opened it.
"Hi," Bradin said, "Um, how's the ankle?"
"It's good," she said slowly wanting to know why he was there.
"Um, can I talk to you?" he asked a little bit worried that she'd say no.
"About what and why?"
"I want to be with you," he said.
"We can't. We're from two different groups of life."
"I don't care," he said.
"But, I do. You don't know what my life is like. Yes i may seem happy in school. When I get home...nevermind."
"What?" he asked. "You can tell me."
"No I can't. You're just like your friends, Bradin. If i tell you something personal, the whole school would know about it in an instant."
"How can you say that?" he asked, "Yes I'm a surfer. But i'm not like any of them. If someone tells me something, I don't tell anyone else unless you tell me to."
"We can't be together and that's that!" she shouted.
He made a fist and threw it at the door that was next to her. "Bradin!"
"What's going on?" Heather asked running upto them with everyone else.
"Nothing," Bradin and Kaitlin said before turning away from each other.
KAITLIN'S ROOM
Omayra walked up to her best friend who was sitting on the love seat crying. "What's wrong?" she asked sitting down next to her.
"I finally like a guy and he likes me back," she said.
"That's great!" Omayra shouted.
Kaitlin shook her head. "We're not meant to be. He's a surfer and I'm a skater."
"It shouldn't matter," Omayra said, "I found out tonight that I like Lucas. I went up to him and we talked about it privately."
Kaitlin recovered her face and sighed as tears ran down her face. Omayra wraped her arms around her best friend to comfort her.
BRADIN
He sat in the room where he followed Kaitlin into earlier. He sat in the same spot where she sat earlier when she took her skate off. He was so upset with her. Yet, he knew what she was thinking and why. He ran his fingers through his hair and got off of the table. He took one ste and kicked something. He peered down and saw a book. He picked it up and looked through it until he saw his name. As he read it, he realized that the entire argument with Kaitlin that just hapened was written in the book. But, the entire book wasn't full.
"Kaitlin and Omayra sat in their room discussing Kaitlin's problem. Kaitlin wa confused and didn't know what to do.
'Of course i like him,' she told Omayra."
He put the book back on the shelf as he became scared and curious.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he heard.
He ran to the living room to find everyone running up the stairs. He followed them and ran behind them. They stopped at the top of the stairs until they heard another scream. They ran to Omayra and Kaitlin's room to find Kaitlin bawling her eyes out.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Bradin asked walking up to her. All that Kaitlin could do was cry. Bradin grabbed her by the arms and turned her so she was facing him. "What's wrong?" he asked again.
"The... the... the..." she sobbed.
"What?" Callie yelled.
"The...the hou-hou-house...t-took O-O-Omayra," she sobbed.
"Sure it did," Tanner said, "What a liar."
Kaitlin turned to him and smacked him before running off. She ran to the room where she found to book and opened it. Tears were running down her face until she came to the last page that had writing on it. She read it.
"After smacking Tanner in the face, she ran to the book to see if it would help her find her friend. What she would find out is that she would have to save her friend alone."
She slammed the book shut and threw it across the room. She turned around and saw Bradin standing there. She looked at him and went to leave.
"Kait, I want to help you find her," he told her.
"I can find her myeslf," she said walking away.
"Kaitlin!" he shouted. She continued walking until she reached a door. As she went to open it, someone grabbed her arm.
"Where is she?" Lucas demanded.
"I don't know."
"Yes you do! You were with her!" he yelled.
"I know," she said, "But i don't know where she is. We were just sitting and talking about you and her and...forget it."
"What?" he asked.
"You're not going to believe me," she said.
"Tell me," he said tightening his grip on her arm.
"Let me go."
"Not until you tell me where she is," he told her.
"I DON'T KNOW!"
She turned and hit him before opening the door and running through the opening. She couldn't see and fell down some stairs. She hit her head and blacked out.
