In Love With The Grand Guignol

The Ring

I didn't get to kiss him back. He pulled away. I was looking at him, he was looking at me. I felt in love, didn't I?

"This is why I want you to stay away from me." he said.

"O-ok." I said. my voice cracked.

After that he left. I stayed in my room looking at the wardrobe. I started crying, the thought of never seeing him hurts. I won't tell Liz. If I tell her she will freak out.

I hear the front door open. Mira is back. Somebody is running upstairs, most likely Mira. She opens the door and looks at me.

"Are you ok?" Mira asked me. She has in her hand a chocolate bar and she gives it to me. "He came, didn't he?" I nodded.

"He said I should stay away from him." I said. My voice cracked again.

I went to Liz, but I won't tell her about what happened with the Grand Guignol. She can't find out. She would be so mad if she does. It's just me and Liz, we are talking about babysitting and stuff. She stops and looks at me.

"Did you cried?" she asked.

"Uh....yea, my cat died." I lied, I don't even have a cat.

"I'm sorry to hear that." she said. I didn't blush, but I almost started crying again, I thought of the Grand Guignol. "Did you read the guide?" I looked at her. I read just about the Grand Guignol.

"Yes." I lied, again.I hope she won't ask me anything, she looks at me very suspicious.

"Ok." that's all she said. She clearly doesn't believe me. "Look I have work to do so I think you should leave." how rude!

"See you tomorrow!" I said and then I left. To be honest I wanted to leave.

When I got home I saw something on my bed. It was a small box with a note on it. The box was blue with a silver bow. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier." the note said. I suppose it's from the Grand Guignol. I open the box and inside it it's a ring. The ring is in the shape of a half green star, the green is the exact same colour as his eyes. I take it and put it on my finger. It fits perfectly! It's so beautiful!

I lie in my bed looking at the ceiling and thinking of the Grand Guignol. Mira comes in my room. She looks upset.

"Skylar, can I talk to you?" I am getting worried. Very worried.

"Sure! What's up?" I tried not to look worried.

"My parents want you to leave..." my mouth dropped. I know they don't like me, but I never know they hate me so much. "I'm so sorry! I tried to-"

"It's ok Mira. I understand." I packed my bags and left. What should I do now? I can't go home, my best friend's parents kicked me out and I don't really have other friends.

I looked at the ring. I wonder if he has the other half. I suppose he does. What if I will go and stay with him? In his house, if you can call it a house. I better go to Liz, she knows what to do.
