He led me out of Elizabeth’s room, into his. His room was exactly like mine. He had green blanket and his room was painted like a forest. There was amazing detail in every tree.
“Elizabeth painted it, she’s good isn’t she?” Santiago said; sensing my amazement.
“She’s marvelous! It’s too bad I already started my painting, I would’ve asked her. Oh, well I’m not going to be here very long anyways right?”
“Exactly, but act like nothing is going to happen, they could catch us just as easily as a walk to our rooms.”
He took me to his bathroom, which was exactly the same as mine. I looked threw the window and saw a few scattered trees and a white marble fountain next to a matching bench.
“Just to make sure,” Santiago said. He pumped his fist into the air make a patch rock appeared on the ground that was probably about 3 feet by three feet. “and that way you will know for sure what to look for. Wait a second let me give it more of a character.” He shaped imaginary clay in his hands and the rock below became a heart shape.
“That’s perfect Santiago; thanks. I feel so high up here it’s almost scary like I’m about to fall.” I said slowly backing away from the window
“Well, welcome to the fear of heights.”
“What? Fear of heights, there’s no way!”
“It’s okay, everyone’s afraid of something.”
“What can you possibly be scared of?”
“Snakes, I admit it I’m afraid if snakes.” He put his hands up in the air as surrender.
“What’s Amelia scared of?”
Santiago studied the ceiling and crossed his arms. “I have no idea; you would have to ask her.”
I gave myself a mischievous look. “What’s Elizabeth scared of?”
“I know it’s kind of weird but she is afraid of the ocean.”
“Bwahahahahahahahahahaha; are you serious?”
“Yeah I know I laughed when I found out too, but then she slapped me across the face. That wasn’t very pleasant, so now I don’t laugh.”
“Oh, I see, do you know why she’s scared of the ocean?”
“Nope, not at all.”
“Well, we should get back; dinner is almost over.”
