Chapter 9

When I got to Lawliet’s house it was not what I expected at all. It was actually quite small, a two story house, which was white and the roof a black, along with the side’s of the window’s. Lawliet must have seen my surprise because he smiled and said, “Expecting something else?” For some reason I had expected a much bigger house, with more extravagance to it. I was wrong. The inside was just as plain, with a normal living room, a red couch and a few chairs placed in front of a wide-screen T.V. The kitchen was painted a blood red and had the normal counters and cupboards along with the fridge, stove and dishwasher packed together. The dining room had pretty paintings scattered along the walls and a dark-chocolate color to the dinging table and chairs. The bathroom had white and blue tiles for the floor and a shower tucked in the corner with the toilet and sink beside each other. The bedrooms where nice, with the walls painted an almond brown and the beds beside a long window. I sighed and plopped onto my bed that Lawliet had shown me and went into a badly needed sleep. I woke up the birds chirping and the sunlight pouring onto me. It took me a few seconds to remember where I was. “Oh that’s right! I’m at Lawliet’s house.” I thought to myself. I pulled the blankets off of me and went downstairs. Lawliet sat on the couch watching a show and eating a bowl of cereal. He turned as he saw me, a smile playing along his lips. “Up sleepy-head?” he said. As if to prove his point I yawned. “Thanks for letting me stay over Lawliet.” I said groggily. I plunked beside him. “What are you watching?” I asked. “I don’t mind the murder mysteries on.” Lawliet said, which I guessed meant he was watching a murder mystery. I found the cereal and got myself some. “So what are we going to do today?” I asked. Lawliet shrugged. The day dragged on, and I felt myself becoming more bored. “Oh. Do you have any clothes I could change into?” I said, noticing the grubby feeling I had with my tear-stained clothes. “Hmm.” Lawliet got up and searched the house. He came back with a beautiful sundress that was yellow and had branches decorated with cherry blossoms stretching out on the sides. “Oh! It’s so pretty!” I exclaimed. I went to the bathroom to get changed and when I came out Lawliet had the biggest smile I’d ever seen. “You look lovely.” He said. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks and looked down. “Let’s go to the beach!” Lawliet said happily. “Sure, if it makes you happy.” I agreed.
