CH.1 first day meets first date
I was sitting on a rock in my front yard on Halloween it was the worst Halloween ever I was board and cold, teenagers and toddlers thatâs all I had as trick-or-treaters but I didnât want to do anything it wasnât a bad day because it was Halloween it was a bad day because it was my birthday too and all I got was wall paint ya paint from my parents and my brother said happy birthday like always but also he told me he was leaving for the military USMC in other words it was a bad day my brother was my best friend my tutor you name it he was there when he was needed through break ups and raves he was always there to get me off the hook, the only thing that was good was that it was Halloween but that's another story for another day it was 9pm and no one was coming all the teenagers went to the big Halloween party but myself I couldnât go it was a school night and I knew that most of my classmates would not be at school tomorrow. I should problem tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Ebony Iâm 16 today and all my other friends live in Arizona while Iâm in Colorado doomed to be board and the and the house at the end of the street is empty and old, somebody moved in a week ago but there never there Iâve seen the son twice but heâs not enrolled in school yet and he was crawling out the basement window heâs cute but I was telling you about myself so why am I going off on a boy I donât know.
The next day sitting in class trying not to cry because my back has spasms someone behind me asked if I was ok.
âYaâI said
âYou sherâ he asked
âYa I amâ
âOkâ
On the way home from school it was raining (actually it was pouring) it was a nice day (Iâm more of a rain not shine kind of person unless Iâm the one shining but in sunlight I do shin really Iâm so white)I can hear some of the others on my bus walking but I just keep going. I hear someone come up behind me and I think itâs one of my âfriendsâ ha to come play a joke on me so I turn around.
âI can hear y-â I stop talking âOHâ
Itâs the boy from down the street
âHelloâ
âHiâ I reply
âHi my names Allenâ he says extending his hand
âHello my names Ebonyâ I say as I shake his hand.
He looks at my eyes a little too long but heâs cute with longish blond hair and blue eyes that sparkle tall and skinny with a little bit of eyeliner with his hair teased in some places and flat ironed and bangs that flapped in his face âhe really is cuteâ I think to myself I get cut off in thought when I notice heâs trying to ask if Iâm ok
âYa Iâm fine whyâ
âYou were really trying not to cry earlierâ
âOh is it that noticeable my back was hurting thatâs all I fell on it over the weekend but Iâm fine just practice thatâs allâ
âWhat were you practicing for?â
âNOTHING I just nothing never mindâ I sort of say to fast
âOk thenâ
âSo you live in the old house down the street with?â
âNo one the catâ
âNo parents really kâ
âNo I donât have any I mean I have parents but I donât live with themâ
âOk then
âWhat are you doing tonight?â
âWHATâI say surprised he would make a move so soon I mean god how cheap can a guy get.
âOh sorry I was wondering if you wanted to come over and see my place I donât really have any fun by myselfâ
âOh ya shur why not. What time?â
âHow is 6:30?â
"Good for meâ
âHey you wouldnât happen to be a vegetarian would youâ
âNo wayâ
âGood I donât have vegetarian food and everyone in this small town seems to be you knowâ
âYa it drives me nuts hard to find a good steakâ
âOk then steak it isâ he says with the most beautiful smile ever.
âSounds nice hey Allen get over here your soakedâ
âthanksâ he says again with that smile that makes me go weak in the knees as he lights a cigarette âyou want oneâ âno Iâm fine thank youâ
I get to Allenâs house that night and see a note on the door.
Come on in ebony

so I walk in to the house and I smell the most amazing smell ever I fallow it to the kitchen/living room I find Allen on the couch raped in blankets shivering and sleeping I check for a fever and oh my god I run down the street to my brother my brother and I go back to his house and carry him back my house to get the fever down.
âWhat are we going to doâ I ask my brother
âI donât know moms on her way home so we'll ask herâ
I turn on the space heater and I sit next to him on my bed. He wakes up like 2 hours later itâs like 80 degrees in my room by now.
âAllen you okâ
âYa where am Iâ he asks while looking at my blood red walls and black everything else.
âYou were sick so my brother and I brought you over to my house because your heat wasnât working.â
âYou have some water"
âYa on the nightstand behind youâ
âThanksâ
âYou had a fever and were shaking so ya you didnât look very goodâ
âThat happens from time to time I forget to take my med.â
âIt makes you pass outâ
âNo its cause I canât eat some foods so I donât get all the nurturance I needâ
âSo youâre fineâ
âYa Iâm fineâ
âOk I donât know if my mom will let you go till she knows your fine thoughâ
âWell mind as make do with it you know how un-fine it is to cook for yourself â
âya I do I cook when my momâs not home" I say with a smirk
âIâm sher youâre a good cookâ he says with that beautiful smile
âUh hu if setting hamburger helper on fire is a good cookâ I say laughing
âHey I have set things in fire like my kitchen you know how easy it is to leave the stove onâ he says laughing
âHay not funny Iâve done that but I have a electric stoveâ I say jokingly
âHey did I leave the stove onâ
âOh my god Iâll go checkâ I say getting up really fast.
ch. 2 Dinner in flames
I ran down the street to Allen house and all I could see was smoke coming from the back of the house âholly shitâ was all that was going thought my head I ran in to the house which is the stupidest thing I could do at this very moment all I find is the cat and smoke I pick up the little kitten trying not get scratched I get out of the house but low and behold I run back in (stupid stupid I know) I run up (yes up) the stairs to make sher noting important is in the house on my way down the stairs all I see is smoke and I think I see Allen but thatâs it until I pass out I find myself out side only five minutes later by myself I pull out my phone and call 911 they show up in 10 seconds. After they stop the fire and give me some oxygen I get a lot of questions yes, no, I donât know, my house.
âOk that was a very big fire so where is the ownerâ
âAt my house sir heâs sick sort ofâ
âHow old is heâs â
â16 I thinkâ
âWhere are the parents? May I speak with him?â
âYes you mayâ
The fire chef fallows me down the street to my house I show him the way to my room I take him through the main stairs not the back stairs the me and my brother use.
âHold on please â
âYes of courseâ
I knock on the door âcome on in â
âAllen someone is here to talk to you about the house and your (I clear my thought) your parents is that ok or are you not feeling wellâ
âNo its ok I think you should hear it too but first how is it you know my houseâ
âYou can look at it through the window sonâ the fire chef steps into the room
Allen gets up and moves to the window and looks out âholy shitâ
âIt must have taken a couple of hours for the whatever it was that was cooking to burn up and set fire but the front of the house should be fine just smells at this point and soggyâ the fire chef said trying to make a joke of it (let's just say It fell flat)
âwhat am I going to doâ Allen says racking his fingers through his hair.
âWell fist son where are you parentsâ
After Alen told the fire chef how his parents had died in a explosion at his last house and how he got a lot of money from them and how there was no one he could go to in his family so he pack up and moved to the other side of the world from Japan.
An hour or so later when my mother and my brother had gotten home from the store we all sat down in my room and discussed what we would do next we settled on he would stay in the spare room next to mine till his house was up and running again when the door bell rang and it was the fire chef again to tell up that they had saved a picture of his mom and dad and also his close and his car which was luckily in the drive way.
There was just one thing I couldnât rap my head around was how I had gotten out of the house and how Allen was in bed not touched by smoke or fire and how he had gotten to the second story without using the stairs.
