Oak Woods' Tales of Tomorrow

A New Worst Enemy

We were all outside, because someone started a fire, that we would have never noticed, if it hadn't been for the screaming girls.

Cindy keeps her distance from me.

"It's freaking freezing." Calli murmered. Paris looked at him and walked over.

And hugged him.

At first, Calli was surprised, but then he started shaking, and then crying.

"You jerk!" he screamed.

Paris refused to let go and Lindsey walked up next to me.

"He hates that." she confirmed. I looked around to see if Calli was watching, but he was to busy struggling to get Paris off.

"I know why." I mumble under my breath. Lindsey's eyebrow goes up. "Tell me."

"I can't.." I rub my elbow, and Lindsey grabs my arm.

"You tell and I'll tell you a secret about me. Two, maybe. Or else."she whispers.

"Or else what?" I purse my lips. She twists my arm and I wince in pain.

"OK!" I tell her the whole story and she nods, and then her eyes squint when i say "Paris Killed Him."

"No he didn't." she nods her head. "Anyway time for your secrets." I stammer

She looks around and then looks at the floor."I'm a boy." she mumbles under her breath.

I hop backwards, then look up at the fire. We can't even do anything to put it out.

"And the other one?" I ask nervously.

"I started the fire." she buries her head in her hands.

 I gasp and turn away.

"Bye." she says running away. But at this point...he.

"Wait!" I yell.

But he's already gone.
