Knocking back the last bit of my tea, I stand up from my desk, I barely slept last night, it's amazing how much noise an old house makes. I open my door to see a small blonde haired girl staring up at me, I let out a small gasp before apologising "I'm so sorry, you gave me a fright, I'm Mark what's your name" the girl blinks twice before turning and walking away and turning around a corner. I chase after her but when i look round the corner she is nowhere to be seen, a shiver runs behind my back before I here the croaky old woman again "your late for breakfast", "for gods sake woma, I mean I'll head there immediately" with a sarcastic smile for a finishing touch.
I sat alone for a while at breakfast before a small boy came to sit with me, "is it worth introducing myself or are you just going to walk away like that blonde girl earlier" I said with annoyance. "Your mean, no wonder you were sat by yourself" the boy sobs and goes to walk away, "wait I'm sorry, I guess I can't get anything right. My name is Mark, who are you?", "my name is Jamie, I'm the eldest round here". "Is that so" I reply "do you know who the blonde girl is I saw earlier?". "You must mean lily," Jamie groaned "she's a crazy bitch" . The shock of the young boys language causes me to choke on my food.
