Then Ian says something competely out of the blue..

"Iloveyou." He says quickly.

"I didn't quite catch that." I say.

"Ian. Someone's at the door for you!" Mrs Hecox shouts from the front door. I stay in the kitchen whilst Ian answers the door. After a few minutes he comes back in.

"It was Anthony. He asked me if I knew where you were. I asked him why and he said that Mrs Padilla is mad at you for 'punching me'. I told him you were walking back home..." Ian explains.

"Okay. So I better leave to get home quickly." I reply. He nods sadly. "Guess I need to write my will, just incase I die. Ian, if I do die, you can have my cereal. I don't want that going to waste... In fact, just bury the cereal with me. You can have my jar of air." I smile and walk towards the front door.

"Bye! Try not to die." Ian laughs.

"Oh. Before Anthony came, what did you say?" I ask.

"Oh. Um. Eh. I said 'I love ewes?' Y'know... Female sheep?'" Ian says.

"Right..." I reply, not convinced. "No really. What did you say?"

"Oh. You better go, just incase Anthony comes back." Ian says changing the subject. I wave and walk off. I still want to know what he said. I run back home and pray to the monkey angels of Unicornia that my death isn't painful.

I slowly open the door and see the lounge... empty. Phew. I let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm not dying today." I whisper to myself.

"Lia?" Someone shouts. Spoke too soon. "Lia is that you?"

"Urh, no. This is, urm, Lord Martin of Canterbury, in India." I lie. Mrs Padilla comes in. Great.

"Lia dear. Why?" She asks.

"Why what?"

"Why did you punch Ian around the face? And where have you been?"

"I didn't punch him, Anthony did!" As if on cue, Anthony walked in. "I was at Ian's-"

"Doing what?" Anthony questions.

"Helping him with his nose."

"Really?"

"Okay. Fine. I'll say the truth," I sigh, "I was planning my retirement." Anthony's expression goes from happy to confused.

"So, you didn't punch Ian around the face?" Mrs Padilla asks.

"Nope. He did." I point to Anthony "They were arguing about who should go out with me." Anthony is so busted.

"Lia! Shut up!" Anthony growls at me.

"Anthony. Your room. Now." Mrs Padilla says. I jump for joy inside my head. "Lia. Tell me what happened."

"Well." I take a deep breath. "I had gone to talk to Ian about some homework, and Anthony was there. I said I'd come back later, and went to the park. I sat down on a bench, saw a dog take a poo inside the sand and made a mini daisy chain. Then Ian came along and asked me what I wanted to say. I told him that I had figured out the maths problem, and that F was 6.2. Then Anthony came along and accused Ian of kissing me, which he never did. Then I got up as Anthony kept shouting at Ian. I hid behind a tree, eavesdropping, and then I saw Anthony punch Ian around the face. I then told Anthony to go away and I helped Ian to get back home and stuff... The end!" I say. Mrs Padilla looks like she is thinking.

"So, you never punched Ian... It was Anthony..." She says. I nod in agreement.

I walk upstairs to my room, whilst Mrs Padilla is cooking pizza. Maybe I should catch up on my history revision. No, I should draw. Or should I listen to music? Or do all three?

I enter my lair (a.k.a my room) and gasp in shock. It's clean.... Whoever cleaned it had some gut... I don't even know if I had any flooring... I take giant steps to my desk. Even that is clean. Who cleaned my room? I glance round, and see someone in the doorway. Anthony.

"What?!" I say.

"Sorry." He replies.

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Ian. He's the one you punched."

"I have done. I'm saying sorry to you because- you'll find out..." He leaves. I'll find out what? I run out of my room and follow him.

"I'll find out what? Tell me!" I demand.

"I can't. Okay?! I made a promise to somebody. I can't say anything." He states.

"They aren't here! What they don't know won't kill them."

"Lia, I can't tell you. But I am sorry. Sorry for what they have done. I had nothing to do with it." He walks off. Who are they? What have they done? Why is Anthony making promises? Why am I asking myself unanswerable questions?! I mentally slap myself. Get a grip, Lia! I hear Mrs Padilla call us down for dinner. I walk down the stairs, doing something I haven't done in a while. Think. All through dinner, I thought.

After dinner, I walk back upstairs and think. What? Why? Who? When? A voice brings me back to reality. Mrs Padilla was calling me. I walk down to the kitchen where she is and passes me the phone.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Hello? Is this Lia?"

"Yeah. Who's this?"

"Nelly. Y'know. From the adoption center. Just had an email in from your brother, Robert."

"I know who my brother is. What did he want?"

"He wants to know if during the christmas break, you might want to visit him and his wife in England."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah! He says if you do, he can pay for the tickets. All you have to do is get a ride down there."

"What about my passport?"

"Don't you remember, Lia? You have a passport here. One of you hopeful families lived in Canada, and you had to fly. I got the passport, but they never came."

I look up to Mrs Padilla and cover the microphone inside the phone. "I've been asked to visit my brother in England during the christmas break. Can I go?" I whisper.

"Sounds great to me! Go on ahead!" She whispers back. I remove my hand from the phone. "Tell Robert I would love to!" I say.

"Okay. I shall email Mrs Padilla all the infomation and things. I will reply to Robert to tell him it's a yes. Goodbye, Lia."

"Bye!" I hang up. I pass Mrs Padills the phone and skip off up to my room. I change into my pyjamas and get into bed. Recap of today: Ian and Anthony had a fight, Ian had a bloody nose, Ian said something I still need to find out, I got blamed for the fight, my room is clean, Anthony is being secretive, Mrs Padilla's pizzas are delicous and I am going to England. What a fun day.
