Who would have lit my apartment on fire, only targeting my level? than it hits me. It most likely wasnt him, but we have hated. Like I mean, hated eachother since first grade. To the point where he actually tried to cut off my arm in seventh grade in tech ed. I still have the scar. His name is James Xuolo. No it wasnt him. It couldnt be. He is in Hawaii right now with his annoying rich parents going to a private school. Who the hell could have done this! "Listen raina, I know this is kind of a bad time to say this, but I need to say it at same point." I pause, not able to think clearly with all these thought jumbled up in my head.
"Uh, yeah mom?" I finally say, sorting the words out carefully- Ish.
"Raina, listen. I know you don't want to hear this, but you have to know. One day, when I am gone, hopefully not soon, you will need to live somewhere until you are old enough to live alone. I have decided where you will go. You will go to live with your aunt." First thought in my mind. That was so fucking random. Second, what she said hits me. My aunt. My aunt HATES me with a sincere passion, I have no idea why.
"But mom-" I'm cut short by sirens coming down the road. We walk to the front lawn sort of place, more of a run down basketball court with no hoops.
"Are either of you hurt?" Someone walked up to us and asks us a few questions, not relevant to the fire. Than the question comes. "Do you know what or who caused the fire?"
"I'm not sure who caused the fire, but I think someone started it." I say.
"Do tell."
"Well, coming out on the deck, I saw someone, a man I think, crouch and run across out yard right after they blew out a match."
"Oh my! If this is true, this is a serious crime."
I think it is true, I know It is true, but i dont know who it was."
"We will do out best to solve this case, Mrs. Leaine." She says this and gestures to my mom.
