Hidden

Chapter 3.

I was sitting in my room, all snuggled up and reading a book. I looked at the clock, it read 12:30 AM.

" Holy, I didn't know it was that late." But I didn't stop reading. I was to interested in the story about a paranormal incident that happened in London. It was quit interesting. My arm got tired, so I set it on the pillow. As I did that, I also set the book down to talk a stretch. When I did that, I saw a face. A boys face. The face was outlined with curly hair. The eyes were a shade of green. The smile, was so beautiful. Next to the smile was deep dimples. I jumped back on the bed. My heart was beating out of my chest. I blinked. It was gone. All gone. What was that?. I was rubbing my eyes aggressively. What did I just see? My mind was puzzled. I lay-ed my head on my pillow. I stared off in the distance lost in my mind. "I'm going crazy.. "I said to myself . "I'm crazy... "I keep repeating to myself. I turned off my night stand. I looked at the moon through my window. I closed my eyes. Hopefully being able to fall asleep.

" Coraline, time to wake up." I heard mum shout. I stretched. Slowly. I sat up, yawning every couple seconds. I walked over to my closet, looking through my clothes I saw my baby blue blouse, and my white, and blue flowered skirt.

I got dressed slowly today. Taking my time. I decided to fish-tail braid my hair. I admired myself in the mirror. After getting dressed, I went downstairs, to greet my mum once again making breakfast.

" Good morning, Coraline." She said smiling.

" Good morning, mother" I sat down. Folding my napkin over my lap. " Where's Jackson and Dad?" I questioned. Usually they would be down at the table before I was.

" They're reading the paper in the living room." Mum laughed. I don't know why, there was nothing funny that had been said.

" Okay.." I shook my head alittle. I poured myself some milk in my clear glass. I felt a little tap on my shoulder. "Jackson stop." I said. Rolling my eyes.

" Stop what Coraline? Jackson isn't even in here." Mum said. She turned around and looked at me. Pulling her eye-brows together

" Oh.. Umm.. Nothing.." I pulled my lips to the side.  Mum squinted her eyes at me and turned around.

" You're ill..." Mum said under her breathe. I huffed. What's going on with me? Everything is happening to me and me only. Maybe I am going ill.

I didn't eat breakfast. I was no longer hungry. I needed to clear my mind. I started to write a letter to my chummy from Liverpool.

     "Dear Lydia,

I'm ill. I've been experiencing something weird. Last night I saw a face. A boys face. I'm not sure if I actually saw it or, like I said I'm ill. I need to talk to you very soon. But anyways, how've you been? Hopefully I hear from you soon. Love you chummy.

                                                                                  Love, Coraline Waters."

I gave the letter to father to take to town. Hopefully she answers soon. I need to talk, get out my feelings. But it might take longer than I think.
