Coraline and Wybie

Part 7

Wybie had gone home late the same afternoon and now it was almost midnight. I had just wken up and my door was slightly ajar. Weird, I could've sworn I'd shut when I went to bed. I stood up and shut the door before climbing back into bed and going to sleep.

I woke up around five in the morning and went to the bathroom. When I came back inside my bedroom, someone knocked on my window. 

I grabbed the broom as I cautiously walked over. It wouldn't be the beldam would it? I peered out the window and Wybie was outside smiling.

I opened the window and he came in. 

"Wybie, seriously?" I asked as he sat on my bed.

"What, I wanted to see you!" Wybie exclaimed.

"Why?" I asked.

"Coraline, I know you like me. Its really obvious" Wybie said with a smile. My face went bright pink.

"And so what?" I asked.

"Well I like ypu, you know that already and I was thinking...maybe you and I could go out sometime?" Wybie asked.

"Like on a date?" I asked as my face went even redder.

'Yeah. We could go to that new ice cream place in town today?" Wybie asked.

"I'd love too" I replied as I smiled at him.

Mentally, I was screaming. Wybie had just asked me out on a date!

We went downstairs to get some food to eat for breakfast. As we were walking past the room with the boarded up door in it when I saw something. I almost screamed. Lying right next to the boarded up door was the doll. 

"She's trying to get back through the portals" I said. 

"She can't though. Its been blocked up" Wybie said. 

I grabbed the doll off the ground and I looked at it. The doll was now a muddy, buttonless piece of junk. 

I marched outside with Wybie hot on my heels. I opened the garden shed and grabbed my dads hatchet. In four swift motions, I cut its arms and legs off. 

"There. That should stop it from moving around" I went outside and buried it in the garden.

"Come on, let's get away from here" Wybie said and we turned away from the garden.

Later that day, Wybie and I had gone on our date and it had been really good. I'd had an amazing time and I really liked him. I could tell he liked me back just as much.
