Paths The Middle School Years

Chapter Four~Somthing Unexpectedly New

The letter was for...

Me

My eyes widen in shock when I see my name on the letter. I stand there in wonder as I see my name on the paper.

I ask myself in so much terror, "What... is... this.... for? Why me!?!?! Why!?!?!"

I then proceed to read the paper.

It says,...

Dear Kanoa,

It may be weird for me to do this, but I'm just stuck on the limb here. Ever since I met you, I saw you as a stranger. Now, you treat me as I'm important in your life. I'm afraid that you may forget to even care for yourself if you get to catch up with me. I don't know what I will do. I mean, after your aid, I felt better and happier. What's wrong with me? I know that there is something wrong but what is it? Nevermind! Let me just get straight to the point.

I like you.

After all this, I can see you as the person I want. I know this is weird... We met on the first day, and I like you already... What's wrong with me. All I am saying is, Thank you for this. I hope you can...

The letter ends there, and my heart beats rapidly, and I feel hot.

I look in the mirror by the door and saw my face all red.

"Wait? I made,... someone,.... like,... me....," I say to myself with shock.

I look at the letter again and smile.

I then looked down the hallway to see if Lala made any noise, but she was silent.

I didn't disturb her, so I continued to clean up her stuff.

I thought to myself as I cleaned, "I'm going to have two options. Option 1 is, Should I say something or option 2, should I be quiet and see how things turn out."

I  decide, and when I finished cleaning, I decided on option two since I didn't want to make her break easily when she knew that I knew.

I then checked to see if Lala was in the hallway or anywhere in the house, but she wasn't anywhere else. I thought that she would already be in the room and decided not to disturb her and give her privacy.

I closed my door and changed into my pajamas.

As I changed, the door was slammed open. I hid behind the door and peeked to see who it was. I saw Kai, Kalle, and Kalvin with mini water guns. They saw me looking and pointed the water guns at me.

They repeatedly said, "Hands up! Down on the ground! Freeze!"

I did as they said, but my brothers just shot me for no reason since I did that.

I yell at them as I lay on the floor, "I did what you said!!! Why are you still shooting at me?!?!"

They told me together with a very troll voice, "We wanted to do it since mom and dad are going to get us in trouble if we do it to them, so we decided to do it to you."
