A few months passed, and Krys and Jimmy got closer than ever. They would always practice playing basketball at Jimmy's house, or study at Krys's. Her mom was thrilled knowing that her daughter was becoming happier over time. She wasn't as sour as she used to be about calling Philadelphia again, or even visiting over the weekends, and she was more eager to talk to her friends again.

And it was all thanks to Jimmy Brooks and his friends. Lucy smiled as she looked out the kitchen window that Saturday afternoon to see Krys and Jimmy holding a basketball as they went to his house. It's obvious those two were meant for each other, she thought, going back to chopping carrots. And it's a blessing that we moved here, so he can never get to us again.

Please don't let him find us.

As the couple played one-on-one in Jimmy's backyard, a girl walked past. She had shoulder-length brown hair, and gray eyes. "Hey, Jimmy!" she called. Jimmy turned and dropped the ball instantly, then ran over to her.

As the two talked, Krys felt confused. Who's that? she asked herself. "Hey, Krys!" Jimmy said. "C'mere for a sec, I wanna introduce you to somebody."

He waved a hand, and Krys jogged over. "Krys, this is Ashley, an old friend of mine," he explained. "Ash, this is Krystle, the new girl everyone's been talking about."

Ashley smiled. "Hi, Krys," she said, sticking her hand out to her. "It's nice to meet you."

"Hi, Ash, I mean, can I call you Ash?" She laughed and said sure. "Thanks. I love your eyes. They're beautiful!"

"Thanks. I love your hair. Do you play any music? I'm looking for new band members."

"I play guitar and drums."

"Great! Do you wanna try out for our band sometime? We could really use your talents."

"Wow, I'd love to!" Krys then checked her watch. "Oops, I gotta run; my mom should be calling anytime soon to have you take me home, Jimmy."

"Well, I'll take you home now. Ash, I'll talk to you and Craig when I come back, okay?"

"Sure. Nice meeting you Krys."

"Nice meeting you too." Jimmy and Krys then ran off back towards Krys's house, and Ashley smiled at their closeness. They didn't realize it, but everyone else could. They liked each other, and would do anything to have each other around.

Jay smiled as he watched Krys and Jimmy run back to her house. It was getting dark, and he wanted his secret revealed soon.

In time, sweet little sister, he thought evilly, creeping back into the shadows. In time.
