Chapter 2
Erik's POV
I just stood where I was after she left. I kept asking myself 'Should I keep playing? What if she tells someone?' Only Mrs. Giry and Meg know about my music. Now Christine knows too
I finally decide to play for another hour. After that I figure that Meg's friend is gone. I go looking for Meg so I can bother her. She isn't in her room or in the playroom. I eventually find her outside. But, Christine is there too. I hope she hasn't talked too much about it. All the sudden Christine comes running towards me and says "Do you wanna play hide and seek?" I agree.
We played that for the longest time. I had never played it before so Meg and Christine explained the rules to me. I was it about 3 times and Meg was it the rest of the times. Christine was a really good hider. After a while Christine's dad comes over and Christine has to come home since it is getting dark.
Christine's POV
I hear my dad calling me and I say good bye to my old friend and my new friend Erik. I give them both hugs goodbye. When I am running to my house Meg waves back and Erik just stands there.
My daddy has dinner ready when I get there. He made my favorite, barbeque chicken, cheesy potatoes, and broccoli. While we are eating I tell him about my day. I tell him about Meg and Erik and our game of hide and seek. I have so much to say! I keep rambling about what happened at Meg's house that I accidentally say 'I heard Erik play the piano! He was AMAZING!' Once I say those words I immediately wish I could take them back. I remember Erik's face when I saw him play, the face that said that no one was ever supposed to know. I know I just let him down. I start yelling at my daddy to not say anything and to keep it a secret. My dad promised to. I am very glad he agreed to not say anything.
I go back to Meg's house the next day and the three of us play all day! Sometimes Erik didn't play with us when we played house. He says that he is a boy and boys don't play house OR with dolls. He doesn't know what he is missing out on.
On Monday I have to go back to school. Meg is in my class! I beg the teacher to let her sit by me and she allows it. I tell Meg everything! I tell her what cubby is better than the other, how to be first to lunch, and what slide to use at recess. I don't think Meg understood half of what I said.
Erik's POV
I got to class late because I had to register in the office. The lady at the desk seemed nice. My teacher's name is Mrs. McClure. She is really nice! She showed me my desk; I sit next to a girl named Carla. When I sat down she pointed at my mask and started laughing. I didn't know what to do! Soon the whole class was laughing at me. I felt tears start to come to my eyes. I couldn't let them see me cry. So I did the only thing I could do. I took glue and squirted it all over Carla. She screamed so loud and called me a monster. Mrs. McClure took Carla to the sink and washed her off, and then Carla got sent to the corner for laughing at me. She started walking towards me and I didn't want to get sent to the corner. So I ran. I ran out the door then through the hallway and out of the school. I just had to get away. I could only think of them laughing at me. I just had to run.
Christine's POV
I got home from school and I had a little bit of homework, just some vocabulary. My dad helped me with it and I got it done in about 15 minutes. My dad checked it over, and I got it all right! I have been spending all my time at the Giry's house and I don't want to change a good thing, so I get my shoes on and run out the door to Meg's house. I knock on the door and I hear mrs. Giry say 'Hold on a second.' She sounds miserable. She opens the door and her face is red and splotchy and tears are running down her face. I say thank you and run up to Meg's room. Meg is crying too. I ask her what is wrong and all she says is "Erik's gone."
Thanks for reading! I know this chapter wasn't that exciting. I swear it will get better! Sorry it took so long to update, I promise it won't take as long this time.
