Spell Book of the Dead

The Secret

         After school I decide to walk home.  Which was a mistake, Derek apparently walks home too “hey riley” he says as he comes up beside me “hey” I say hoping he lives really close to the school.  I mean it’s not like I don’t like him it’s just I have a weird feeling whenever he’s around. “So did your parents send you here or something?” he asks “no they died” I say hoping maybe he will back off and a little to crush his spirit “oh sorry” for some reason the way he said that made me shiver.  “Well here is where I get off and sorry about your parent’s car accident” he said sounding a little guilty “bye” I say thinking that he couldn’t have known about the car accident I didn’t tell him maybe Lucas told him. 

        I couldn’t get that out of my head when I get I’m all alone, Aunt Sophie’s at work she won’t be back until 8.  Then the door bell rings I open it to see Lucas “hey what are you doing here?” I ask “your aunt’s not here during the week so I figured you could use some company” he says “actually yes I could, come in” and I step aside to let him through “so did you tell Derek about my parents car accident?” I ask suspiciously “no why would I?” “I don’t know but he somehow knew and I only every told you and of course Aunt Sophie I never even told hazel or nick.”  “Well I don’t know how he found out but let’s not talk about that right now” he says “well what would you like to talk about?” I ask “well how about we go for a swim and go from there” “okay”.

         I get changed and walk to the backyard where Lucas is waiting “how cold is it?” I ask “freezing you’ll turn into an ice cube if you get in” he says sarcastically I dip my foot in to see how cold it is “it’s freaking hot!” I say “don’t fall in” he says but his voice echoed from behind me “don’t you dare!” but my effort was too late he pushed me in. “what was that for?” I ask “you always take so long to getting in” he say then jumps in “hey!” I say “hey what you don’t like to be splashed?” he says while splashing me so I splash him back.  We splashed, dunked and laughed for an hour then we went to watch a movie.

          “So what do you think of Derek?” he asked looking hopeful.  “Well I think that there is something strange about him” I say honestly but in the most subtle way possible.  “Just because he probably assumed your parents died in a car accident you think he’s crazy or something?” damn, “well how could he have just guessed I mean there is a lot more ways to die! And he sounded so sure of himself!” I say whining. “Look I think you should just let it go your getting paranoid.” He said looking menacing.  “Okay but if something else strange involves him I may just have to see what he’s hiding.” I affirm matter-of-factly.  After he left I jumped on my bed and tried to sleep but couldn’t, how had Derek known about my parents I told no one but Lucas and Aunt Sophia.  Maybe some meddling  would help my cause guess there’s only going to be one spy this time my partner thinks I’m thinks I’m paranoid I wish I had a unicorn to fall off of.
