Girls in the Woods

Chapter 2 - Awkward

  I began to stir the noodles. Soon they are ready. I dish them up in these small blue bowls. I set them on the table  and pull out a chair for myself. We sat down and began to feast on our small insignificant bowls of noodles. There was a long, dead, quiet silence.

  "Oh thanks for saving me from falling earlier," I finally blurt out.

  "Oh, that was no big deal." He replied.

  "So do you like living here?" I ask.

  "It's okay, it is even better that I have someone to talk to now." He sighs. We have been sitting next to each other the entire time so this conversation seems very awkward now. He tries to hold my hand but I immediately pull it away.

  "Listen here buddy, I have a crime to solve and I don't need guys like you getting in the way!" I snap. "If you need me I will be in my room solving my crime." I flick my hair and walk away with my bowl of noodles.

  I walk into my room and sat down at my desk, I grabbed the white feather pen, this pot of ink, and a note pad and began to write a list of suspects.

           List of Suspects

1. The Girls in the Woods
2. Edward
3. The lady traveling with nine cats and a purple feather hat on the ship.

  I put the feather pen down and yawned. It was now nine o'clock and I was tierd. Tomorrow I would unpack my belongings and go visit the new coffee shop downtown. I strolled over to my closet when I noticed a figure standing in the tall window.
