Chapter- 9
The next afternoon at twelve fifty-five, I was out the door with my sleep over necessities and on my way to Kyara' s apartment. Finally I figured out that on the first day I met her she knew I was new to Tallahassee because she saw me move in! Her apartment is the one right next to mine! How ironic is that?
Ding-dong, went the doorbell. Kyara' s smiling face appeared at the door.
"Hey! Ready to watch movies?" she asked excitedly.
"Uh, were starting already? It's not even dark yet!"
"Well were going to start watching in an hour or so, most of the movies are pretty long you know."
"I'm not that stupid." I said. "Where should I put my stuff?"
"In my rooms fine."
Kyara led me into her room. It was in the corner of their apartment and it matched Kyara' s personality perfectly. The walls of the room were painted dark purple so it almost look black, there were Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter posters up everywhere, and she also had a large closet. Kyara 's room gave off an eerie essence but at the same time, it was kind of neat. Even though I would never decorate my room that way.
For the hour before the movies started, we ordered a couple pizzas and threw pillows and blankets in their small living room. At about two o'clock we popped the movies into the VCR player. The first movie never really excited me so I didn't pay much attention to the movie. What I mostly thought about was Hermione.
Where could she be? Could she really not exist any more because of me? What those two old ladies on the plain said kind of scared me; maybe muggles really are seeing Him! She would tell me when they do wouldn't she? I did ask her to in the letter. Oh right, but it blew up. Hermione said they would be back so where are they now? It was her fault anyways that I didn't have any friends. Wait, that sounded stupid, how could it be her fault? It was my brainless mouth that told my secret to Brittany. I should have never trusted that, that girl! Maybe Kyara will be a more worthwhile friend she has to be! I wonder what she would do if I told her my secret.
Kyara must have seen the blank look on my face:
"Are you with me still?"
I laughed a little, "Yeah."
She looked at me funny again, but turned back and watched the movie.
I consumed my blank look.
Should I tell her, she's told me almost everything about herself! It just seems fair to tell her. All right, I'm going to, after this movie.
"Can you believe it's over?" Kyara broke my train of thought.
"W-what?" I asked started.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I was just zoning out!" I said. "Well yeah, it's crazy it's over! Time flies when you're having fun, right?"
"Totally!"
Now's the time, I thought.
"Kyara if I told you a really crazy secret would you promise not to laugh at me and NEVER tell anyone?"
"Uh of course," said Kyara laughing a bit.
"This isn't funny!"
"Okay, okay!"
Here goes nothing.
"Do you know how everyone has imaginary friends when they're little? You talk to them, try to imagine what they look like, and even play with them!"
"Yeah," said Kyara hesitantly.
"Well," I gulped, "I-I-I still d-do."
