Episode 4

It was late and she had to study for test on Monday. Still being sure that she was going to approve, she decided to study all weekend. To study she had to leave her house, it was impossible to concentrate. Bart was listening to music loudly and her parents were trying to get the door free. Plus she had many distractions on her mind.

She got her books and started walking towards the library. She was used to always be studying, but she sometimes asked herself what it would be like to do nothing during the weekend, even though she didn't dare to try, not after what had happened with the book report ("Lisa gets an A")… oh no, that took her to another memory…

In the library

The library was half-empty. They were all enjoying their weekend with their friends or family. She sat on a table, by herself, like always with her books. Some time had passed since she realized a couple of tables next to her, a guy with orange hair stared at her. He seemed sort of familiar, but she couldn't quite remember who he was. She pretended to look back at her books, when she realized that he was coming towards her.

-Excuse me… - a voice interrupted Lisa's reading, she looked at him trying to remember his name or at least who he was. – Are you by any chance Lisa Simpson?-

-Yes-

-Lisa! It's me Colin. Do you remember me? -

That's when she actually remembered him completely. She hadn't seen him since Homero had almost destroyed the city and everyone completely. Actually she had never had it cleared why his returned to Ireland. She had only known that his dad had some things to work out over in Ireland that he had forgotten.

-Colin- Lisa said with a smile. – I'm glad to see you again. What have you been up to for these last years?-

-Well… I started to create a community in Internet that defends the environment and the animals in extinction.-

-That's great! Are you planning to go back to school?-

-Yeah, I start on Monday-

Colin smiled and they kept on talking.

She arrived home, and everything was normal. She went upstairs to her room and left her book in her desk. Her cell phone rang unexpectedly.

-Lisa?-

-Yeah?-

-It's me Avril. Don't you remember me anymore?-

-No, that's no it. I've just been a little distracted lately.-

-… A little? Hey Alex had a problem and needs our help… now.-

-Did something bad happen?-

-Yeah, you could say that, come to my house. I'll wait for you outside.-

-Alright, I'll be there in a sec. - Lisa let out a sigh and wondered what type of EMERGENCY Alex had now, maybe a shirt didn't match with a skirt… or her hair was too dry, or any of those things that Alex considered an "emergency".

She left her house again; the streets were full of kids running and throwing things. The old Flanders was praying, or that's what it looked like.

Lisa walked over to Avril's house, it wasn't far from hers. The girl was sitting outside on the sidewalk; she had her cell phone on her hands, and had a worried expression on her face. As soon as she saw Lisa she jumped up and walked towards her.

-Alex is in the hospital-

Lisa got surprised by the depth of the situation – What happen? - She asked, Avril passed her hand through her hair before proceeding.

-Remember she kept on complaining that she had stomach aches? They think she has appendicitis. - Indeed, Lisa could actually remember her friend complaining about that several timed lately and if it kept hurting she was going to pull it out, but expect for that, they didn't think it was that bad.

-Let's go- her friend said, both of them went as fast as they could to the hospital in Springfield. When they got to the hospital they found the waiting room, with possibly Alex's family and friends. Sitting in a couch were Allison and Janey, Lisa and Avril sat next to them.

-Yeah, she's got appendicitis. – Allison confirmed.

-How is she? – Lisa asked

-With her hair spiky -

Hours passed before a doctor came out, Ms. Whitney went to talk to the doctor.

-She'll be OK, but she needs to stay in hospital for approximately a week. - Ms. Whitney opened her eyes as big as plates because of what the doctor had said.

-Stay? HERE? But here she won't be attended well. How do you expect her to recover here? –

-Believe me Ms. Whitney, the hospital is in perfect conditions, enough to take care of your daughter. – She looked rudely at the doctor and then turned around to look at her husband for help.

-Aren't you gonna say anything to him?-

-No, I think he's right- At this answer, Ms. Whitney threw a small punch with her bag and moved next to him. Avril whispered to Lisa.

-Good she's OK, right?-

-Yeah, she'll get over the fright with time. –

Avril smiled and looked up at the ceiling.

-You know, I met someone-

-Yeah, who?-

-A new guy… I had never seen him before, mmm… I can't remember his name-

-Did you talk to him?- Lisa asked Avril, who was smiling.

-Yeah, he's… likeable but also wired-

Avril smiled and looked up at the ceiling again.

Monday finally arrived and Lisa was walking to her locker, she was carrying a lot of book with her. She had been looking for Colin, but hadn't found him anywhere. With difficulty she opened her locker and some books fell to the floor. She finished putting all the books in her locker; when she was ready to pick up the book from the floor someone else help her.

What can I say…I really like suspense
