The upstairs of the house was quite simple, to the right two bedrooms that had an adjoined bathroom, (where my brother and I will stay) and to the left a master bed and bath (for my parents). There was a little hallway that led strait out onto a small deck in the back of the house over looking the field and the sound. Down that hallway was a door that I’m guessing led up to the attic. It was locked. Of course.
When I walked into my room the first thing I saw was a circular pastel pink, green, yellow, and white rug in the center of the floor. In the left corner a twin sized bed sat with a matching comforter. I felt my room was based of that minty candy when I found some in a bowl on the dresser. A window to the right looked out on the front yard. There I saw Greg with some massive garden scissors trimming a hedge. That sort of scared me. He must have seen me because he instantly went back in his shack house. I closed the curtains and started unpacking my stuff and putting them into the draws.
After that was done I decided to get on my computer and check Facebook, Twitter, and Wattpad. Nothing was really happening, people were on vacation and that was pretty much it, no new movies or concerts or parties were going on so I wasn’t really missing anything back home. I saw on Skype that a few of my friends were on-line. I just realized something.... I have wifi. That’s odd, I didn’t sign into a connector and I am very surprised this place has internet. Anyways, I started to call my friend Alice, who I have absolutely nothing in common with, that’s why we’re best friends.
She popped up on the screen. You could tell by her eyes that she has been on the computer for a long while.
“Hey buddy!” she said very excitedly. I haven’t seen her since school got out; so we have just been texting and messaging on Facebook since then.
“Hola!” I replied back.
“You know I took Latin”
“I know but I just like annoying you. Español para siempre!”
She looked at me strictly trying not to laugh. “I can’t understand you.”
“So I can criticize you and you won’t even know it.” I did a cheesy smile and she stuck her tongue out at me. “You know I’m kidding.”
“Yes I know. Hey do you think we should call Madi?”
“Sure!” I have nothing in common with Madi either but she’s one of those people you love to death because you don’t know what goes on in their heads. Seriously she all “One Direction, sparkly pink unicorns, oh my gosh Harry’s curls!” Gotta love her.
Madi’s room comes up on the screen. All One Direction posters ever made were covering her walls. There was no Madi to be found, music was blaring (Up All Night) and I saw an arm swing on the side of the screen. Alice and I started yelling.
“MADI! MADI!”
Just then she jumped in to the seat “HEEEEY!”
“TURN DOWN YOUR MUSIC!”
“WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU”
“THAT’S WHY YOU NEED TO TURN DOWN THE MUSIC!”
“OH, RIGHT!” she pressed a button on a remote and the music shut off. “Sorry, I was listening to my angels.”
“Got it, so how’ve you been?” I asked
She nodded. “Good I guess, third week of summer and still pale.” She was still nodding and started bouncing.
“What sugar have you had today?” Alice asked sounding like a mother.
“I may have had a Pixie Stick or three.” Madi replied.
“Oh gah Madi, that like pure sugar” Alice yelled, “I hope you sleep tonight.”
“Nope, I’m gonna stay UP ALL NIGHT JUMP AROUND UNTIL WE SEE THE SUN......”
Alice started laughing and dancing. (She liked 1D as well)
I just stared at my crazy friends. They were a year younger than me so I was a tad more mature. But I still love them no matter how crazy they are. I started laughing as well.
“OK back to reality.” I said after a few minuets.
“Awwww.” They both said simultaneously.
Alice was the first to speak. “So how’s the house? Is it huge?”
“Its ok, a good size but it’s smaller on the inside than it looks on the outside.”
“Ohhh”
“Oh yeah, it’s a lighthouse.”
“A lighthouse? How are you staying in a lighthouse?” Madi asked.
“I don’t know, something about construction and my dad’s company, first people to stay here since the early 1900s—‘
“Whoa, that’s like 100 years.” Madi butted in.
“Yeh, I know and something about it gives me the creeps, especially the people here.”
“Other people?” Alice questioned.
“This old workman and a lady that my mom knows who lives around here, she came and prepared the place for us. You know, cleaned it up. But it almost sounded like it scared her.”
“That’s weird. Have you been to the top of the lighthouse yet?”
“No, we’re not aloud up there until they fix the wiring or something like that.”
“Bummer”
“Yeah.”
We talked some more about random stuff and had a laugh. Time just seemed to slip away from me. I was called back to reality when my mom said...
“Chloe, Get ready to go.”
Oh right dinner
“Coming!”
I said bye to Alice and Madi and quickly logged off of my computer. I changed out of my sweat pants and into a sundress. Normally if we don’t go anywhere over summer I don’t where makeup but tonight I decided to just brighten up my face to make it look like I haven’t just woke up.
I was leaning over the dressed to get close to the mirror to apply mascara. Then the weirdest thing happened. I thought I saw a little girl standing in the doorway peeking in and smiling like she was laughing and having a good time.
That scared the crap out of me. I spazed out and poked the mascara brush in my eye. I instantly turned around and there was no girl. I turned back to the mirror still no girl. And my door was closed, I closed it when I walked in here, it was still closed, real door and reflection. I didn’t hear it open or close. What’s up with this mirror?
I cleaned off the extra mascara and walked through the bathroom into my brother’s room.
“Caleb?”
He sat on his bed in a ball with wide eyes.
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“I did.”
