The next morning as the girls came into the school, one short because Myrtle had been suspended for her behavior, their teacher announced that they couldn't practice because the older dancers were unable to attend the session today. Yuki, Teresa and Elena sat down and began discussing what Myrtle's mom was doing to her for getting suspended. About halfway through class, Elena noticed that Lilo had not even shown up. She walked up to Moses and asked why she wasn't there.

"Lilo wasn't feeling able to come in today, her sister called me this morning." Elena nodded in acknowlegement and walked back to the group and sat down to listen to the rest dicuss who was going to have the larger role in the preformance.

After school had gotten out, the girls ran out as they usually did in excitment of what to do with the rest of the day. Elena watched them run down the hill towards the beach before stopping and turning to her direction.

"HEY! Aren't you coming?" Elena paused for a secound before looking down the road she had never gone down before. She shook her head and told them to go without her. For some reason it was bothering her that Lilo had not shown up, sure she had never really paid very much attention to the girl but it just seemed too odd that she would miss a class completely. Elena could remember her coming in with a terrible cold but still excited to dance that day. The girl sighed and took in a breath of courage before heading in the direction she had seen Lilo go down, assuming it was to her house. The road that took her there was windy, paved and trees surrounded her, she felt somewhat like Dora the explorer in an odd sense. It took her fifteen minutes before she arrived at the one house that was inside all the hawian jungle. The house was white with a deck, car below it and an odd spaceship like tower in the back.

Yeah, this HAD to be her house!

She approached the steps leading to the door cautiously, as if there might be some kind of trap awaiting her. Finally reachig the door, she knocked once

no answer

she knocked again,

nothing

Leaning her head against the door she could hear Elvis Presley playing upstairs. She opened the door and peeked her head inside. From what she could see noone was here, but it seemed like there WAS someone though. As if the floor was lined with pins, Elena tiptoed her way inside, every step she begged herself to leave, but for some strange and unknown reason, she couldn't. Curiosity was a cat that was suicidal right now.

"Hello?" she called into the house, a thud came from upstairs, the sameplace from where the music was coming from.

"Oh yeah this was just a GREAT idea ELENA! Why not just get yourself killed by tresspassing?" she told herself as her body seemed to drag itself up the stairs toward the door that was marked with a sign in Hawaian for stay out. She got to the door and pressed her head against the door, someone was definatly inside because she noticed the tracks changing on the music. She took a deep breath, begged herself to leave and then opened the door. Looking inside she saw Lilo in her usual red dress, sitting silently on her bed, staring at her doll Scrump she held in her hands. There was a long pause before either of them said anything. Elena thought she might be in a trance of some sort, looking around her room she saw books such as Practical Voodoo and Telekineis, its all in your head. She had pictures all over her wall of random people doing nothing in particular that anyone seemed to think deserved a picture. Elena turned to leave (more or less run away and get as far away from that house as possible) but just as she moved,

"Why are you here?" The voice was soft and depressingly curious, she looked back at Lilo who was looking at her with her hed still facing the doll, but her eyes focused on her. Elena turned and faced her, unsure what to say at that moment.

"I..I um...noticed you didn't show up to school today." She said, Lilo lifted her head up slighly.

"So because I don't come and let myself be taunted and humilated, you feel like you need to come all the way to my house and bother me?" Elena felt guilt shoot through her as Lilo spoke,

"Well..I...just wanted to know if you were..alright." Every word Elena spoke, she got more uncomfortable. She looked around the room again, something seemed like it was missing.

"Hey where's you're dog?" Lilo looked up from Scrump,

"He's at the vet with my sister. They'll be gone till 5 tonight cuz Nani's got other errands." she said emotionlessly, Elena gave her an understanding nod,

"Wait so you're like, all alone here?" She realized what she said as she was saying it but was unable to stop the words in time. She saw Lilo's head go down, her face covered by her long straight black hair.

"sigh Yes." Elena walked over to the girl staring at her homemade doll. She sat next to her on her bed, this was really about the closest anyone had ever really dared to get to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that." There was a quiet period, during which Elena felt as though the sadness and loss within the room would consume her if she didn't get out. Finally Lilo broke the silence,

"She's never going to change is she?" This question Elena knew was directed at Myrtle, she knew in her heart that it would be impossible for her to truly change.

"Well, I don't really know, I'm not THAT good of friends with her."

"I don't know what I ever did to her. I don't remember ever saying the kinds of things to her she does to me, can you tell me?" Lilo was looking straight at her, for the first time, Elena felt slightly more comfortable.

"Its, its difficult to say what goes through her head, why she acts like she does. I know that she didn't have any right to say what she did though. We were all shocked that she'd say that." She seemed to be making progress, Lilo smiled slightly, never had anyone of Mrytle's gang spoke against her.

"Thank you." Lilo got off the bed and put her doll on her pillow. She felt like maybe this girl was different, maybe there was hope for a friend out of her yet?

"Do you want anything to drink? I'm thirsty." Elena thought for a secound, should she? Was this a trick? Finally she agreed,

"sure, do you happen to have any milk?"
