Scarlett's mystery.

Well that only lasted 20 minutes didn't it. nNow I have to move house again and I wonder where I will live this time? Canada, Australia, even France (which I wouldn't mind). Then my mum says "We are moving to wales". and that will have to do. we move tomorrow and I have no time to say good bye to my friend (Sarah), yes I only have one friend. If I didn't have to move house all of the time because of my mom getting a different job, I would probably have more friends. Probably not.

I get to the house and what do I expect, a lovely brand new house,just the perfect house. But it was the complete opposite, almost haunted house like. But I thought that this house is the one for me. The porch looks like it's about to fall to pieces but there was one thing that really caught my eye. On the wooden front door there was an eye carved into it and the eye was so detailed and had such a mysterious look. I just wondered why it was put there.

I go into to the house to find that it's surprisingly huge and doesn't look as bad on the inside to my satisfaction. I go to my new room and start unpacking my stuff. I try to make my room instantly show me. As you have probably guess I am not the most popular one in the bunch.I am a geek. I am the first thing on the high school food chain and get a slushy face mask every day. Every single time I have moved I have always been the one at school to get the good grades. And then later on in the day have small chunks of purple ice in my hair and my face all sticky. I like English and love reading but when it comes to sports, I am the last one picked for the team. I eventually make one friend before it us time to leave and live in another area. My name is Scarlett Rose and this my mystery.

It is the first evening in our new house and the door bell rings. Ms McDonald who is 77 from next door has come to welcome us to the neighborhood. She even made us homemade apple pie! She seems like a sweet, kind lady. We talk and offer her to have dinner with us but she kindly refuses. She then makes her way to the door, but before that she said something which made me think a lot. She said "It is funny, no one has lived in this house for years." before thanking us and going home.

4am is when I wake up and hear the sound of an ambulance...

I looked out the window to see what was going on and see the ambulance had parked outside Ms McDonald's house. My mind then starts to ask loads of questions to what has happened. I see the doctors going into the house. I carry on staring at the entrance for another 5 minutes until they come back out. But this time with Ms McDonald on a stretcher and a white blanket covered over her. She is Dead! My heart suddenly drops at the thought of a generous old woman's life ending. Although I only knew her for an evening I still felt quite close to her.

I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night and it was my first day of school. Which was no biggy, you know I've been there done that. It's the middle of the school year so everyone has already made their group of friends. So for me it will be even harder for me to make friends.
