“Why not? It’s true though isn’t, it you cant deny it. It’s not my fault you got pregnant when you were fifteen”, snapped Libby
“Who told you that?” asked Lisa
“Doors don’t block out voices. They don’t hear something and think oh yea Libby isn’t supposed to know that, I’ll make sure she can’t here the raised voices,” cried Libby “ I think I will just go to bed now. If I had one wish it would be that I was born into a family that loved me even if I was a mistake or that you had loved me so I could of stayed here with you and not left my friends”.
“I don’t care what you would have wished for because this is who you are and you cant’ change the past” snapped Anna
“ I know that but you can change the future because it hasn’t happened yet”, said Libby “I’m going to bed now. Goodnight”
Libby lay awake with her eyes shut tight she thought that if she didn’t open her eyes then today, the day that she didn’t want to happen wouldn’t but this however wasn’t the case.
“Come up you get”, snapped Anna “the sooner we get you out of here the better”
“Anna, what’s your problem? What’s the rush to get me out of here I am going but I would like to see my Tanya before I go or are you denying me that right”, said Libby
“Fine you can go and see your friend but you can’t belong because someone from your aunts house is coming to pick you up wit a removals van at twelve o’clock”
“Thanks”, said Libby jumping out of bed “I’m really sorry if offended you last night”
“That’s alright. You better hurry up or there won’t be enough time for you to go”, said Anna walking out of Libby’s bare room.
Libby ran down the stairs and into the kitchen nearly bumping into her dad.
“Good morning” he said sternly
“ Is it? Anyway Anna said if I got ready in the next ten minutes I could go and see Tanya”, said Libby “so I won’t have enough time to have breakfast. Do you think that Anna could make me some sandwiches to go in the van?”
“Yeah. If she can’t I will”, said James
“Okay. Thanks”, said Libby running back up the stairs and into her room, which was bare apart from her bed that stood in the corner along with a number of boxes. She thrust open the box that said clothes and picked out her favourite black top and her jeans. Tanya was Libby’s best friend as they had known each other since the day they were born, well it did help that they were born on the same day in the same hospital and there mums were friends. They did every thing together but this was one thing, which they would not share the adventure of.
“Okay I’ll see you in half an hour”, said Libby as she opened the door.
“Alright”, called her dad from the living room
Libby shut the door behind her. She started to walk along the pavement kicking at the many leaves that had fallen to the pavement below. She felt somewhat alone in the world today as she turned the corner and walked up the drive of Tanya’s house. Libby slowly knocked at the door but there was no answer. Maybe it was just to early. She knocked again but there was still no answer. Libby took out a piece of paper containing her details of her new house and posted them though the letters box. Libby pondered to herself why didn’t Tanya open the door maybe it was simply just to early or maybe she had stayed around her friends house. As she turned the corner she could see a removals van parked outside her house –It was early. As she came through the door she heard to unfamiliar voices from the kitchen as well as her mums, her dads and Anna’s.
“Tanya wasn’t in so I just left my……….Who are they?”
“ This is Mr Di Angelo and his son Matt they live next door to your aunt”, replied Lisa
“Oh…Right. Hi”, said Libby
“There are going to take you back to your house as your aunt come and pick you up herself”, Said James
“Well”, said Mr Di Angelo “We better start to get the boxes into the van or it will be dark before we get back home”.
Mr Di Angelo and James went up stairs to bring some of the boxes down.
“Libby isn’t it?” Said Matt
“Yeah”, Said Libby “how old are you?”
“Fourteen. You?” he replied
“Fourteen too. So what school do you go to?” Asked Libby
“Barley Cross, High school.” He replied sitting down at the kitchen table
“How’s the school uniform then?”
‘ It depends on what house your in. I’m in nightingale which is Blue and purple and that’s the colour of your tie all the other uniform is the same. The boys wear black trousers, grey v- neck jumper along with a white shirt and their house tie. The girls are the same apart from they can wear a skirt”, Replied Matt
“Well that’s practically the same as the uniform as I have got now, apart from the fact that we have to wear a skirt all the time”, said Libby
“Would you like a drink?” asked Libby
“Um…Okay. Thanks”, replied Matt
“What would you like? Tea? Coffee? Juice? Coke?”
“Coke, please”, replied Matt
As Libby went to the fridge there was a knock at the door “sorry I wont be a minute” said Libby walking out of the kitchen. She pulled open the door to see Tanya.
“Hi ya babes, I thought I’d missed you”, said Tanya.
“Come in “said Libby shutting the door behind her
“Who’s this fine looking man?” asked Tanya
“Oh that’s Matt, he lives in Devon next to my Aunt. Matt this is Tanya” said Libby pouring Matt a glass of coke and placing it on the table
“Oh right. SO Matt do you have a girlfriend?”
“Don’t wanna be, one of those people. Who are never seen? I'm just a normal girl. A normal teen. I love that chocolate swirl ice cream. I hate those ones who judge you, before they even know you. I hate those hoes, those hardcores dont wanna be part of their gang. I hate those girls that try to be everthin there not…sorry,” said Libby
“Well it as very good”, Said Matt
“Thanks”, blushed Libby
“Can you sing?” Matt asked Tanya
“Yeah, but not as good as Libby. She’s a natural”, she replied
“Sing us a song then”, said Matt
“Er… okay. Lost for words in our world that. Does it know? What you mean to say. Doesn't come out so. Lost for words in our world that. Does it know? What you mean to say. Doesn't come out so. Life is such a wonderful thing. You just never know what life can bring
But, when you're stuck for words. You don't know what to say. It comes out the wrong way.
It'll be okay. But obviously not much. If you're not gonna say anything nice. Don't say anything at all. Lost for words in our world that. Does it know? What you mean to say. Doesn’t come out so, now. Now listen to this story I'll tell. About the time when I got lost for words. And it broke people's hearts. Everyone's especially, your own. Be careful not to lose friends. Is it enough to say I'm sorry? I didn't mean to say it? For I'm lost for words, for words. I was lost for words...”sang Libby
“ Wow!” Chorused Tanya and Matt.
Libby blushed.
“Oh, well I better go anyway. Come here darlin’. I’ll miss you “, said Tanya hugging Libby “I’ll be in touch and I will never forget you babes”.
Libby sat at her desk, with nothing but a candle for light. Only this morning, she was in London where the cars never stopped going past the window and drunk people stumbled down cobble streets and no-one would even took the slightest notice, as it was lets say “normal”. But staying with her Aunt there was silence as she sat there; there wasn’t any other noises apart from the trees blowing in the country wind. Libby didn’t know what to think as she sat there she was going to have to go to a new school, make new friends and learn how to help on the farm, as her aunt said that she had to earn her keep so therefore she had to help on the farm at the weekends. Libby got up from her oak desk and opened the doors on to her balcony. The concrete was cold as Libby walked bare foot from the one side to the other. A light blue strip hovered beneath the sapphire blue sky, which was accompanied by a few clouds and a sprinkling of stars. There was a low humming cricket’s and nocturnal animals could be heard. Libby came back inside making sure as she shut the door she hadn’t woken anyone up. She blew out the candle and clambered into bed, as tomorrow she would have a lot of exploring to do.
A bitter wind was blowing from the east this told them that snow could be on its way. A light layer of misty hovered in the sky while frost was sprinkled onto the vast grounds of Honeyfield manor making the grass look like emeralds. Libby stood by the balcony doors, which we wide open, the curtains flapping freely, her eyes twinkling in the morning light. There was a knock at the door, which made Libby turn around.
‘Who is it?’ asked Libby.
‘Jayne, Miss Elisabeth’, she said ‘One of the maids’.
‘Come in’, replied Libby.
Jayne entered the room with her clothes pressed and ironed, ‘Here you go’.
‘ You didn’t have to’, said Libby softly.
‘Oh but I did Miss Elisabeth, Madame would be very upset with me if I didn’t’, Said Jayne passing her, her clothes.
‘Please don’t call me miss Elisabeth. It’s Libby’.
‘If that’s what you want to be called when your Aunt isn’t around then that’s what I will call you but you have to understand that if I call you that around your aunt is around my head will be for the chop. Oh and shut that door before you freeze your wee toes off’, said Jayne shutting the door behind her.
Libby stood for a while gazing out the window like she had done before Jayne had knocked on her door. She wondered what she would do today.
Libby ran down the two flights of stairs and jumping from the last step onto the ground floor. She had met all the housemaids, the gardener, the cooks and the butler but she didn’t know how to address them. There were bells all over the house from the last owner of Honeyfield manor but Libby thought it rude to ring a bell as it was like clicking your fingers when you are in a restaurant at the waiters. Libby slowly walked into the dining room to find a two long, mahogany tables stretching the length of the room each. One of them was laid with two plates, two side plates, a bowl and the appropriate cutlery. At the other end of the room where Libby was facing stood a marble fireplace with a fire blazing in its half.
‘ Good morning Elisabeth’, Said Libby’s aunt as she came down the stairs. ‘ I’m glad to see you are up and ready for the day ahead’.
‘ Good Morning Aunt Cassie’, said Libby, ‘ Sleep well?’
‘Yes I did. Thank-you. You?’ she replied
‘ Yes, Thanks’.
‘ Good. Breakfast will be ready in an hour at nine thirty so you could look around the house while you wait’, Said Cassie
‘ Okay’, said Libby.
Libby decided it was best to start outside so she opened the large oak door and took a breath of the fresh, clean country air. She took one step out the door before shutting the door behind her stepped onto the gravel pat. She started to walk along the path that led off the gravel path and into the vast gardens that boarded Honeyfield Manor. From what Libby could see the gardens went on forever, it even led into Honey wood, which separated Honeyfield Manor from Waterfield Manor where Mr and Mrs Smith lived with their son Felix. Libby had yet not met Felix and was not sure if she ever would as she didn’t know how old he was so therefore wasn’t sure if he went to school or work. But she was sure that she would soon find out sooner or later. Libby would be joining Barley Cross High School after the half term holidays had finished. On the other side of Honeyfield manor and up the road a bit stood a lovely country cottage where Matt and his dad lived. Cassie would hold the Winter Ball like she did every year, which would give Libby a chance to meet and mingle with the children in her year. Her aunt had decorate the hall yesterday a day before the Winter ball so they could make sure that all the invitations had been replied to and the food would be ready. The hall would be decorated with the traditional colours white and blue. Libby continued to wonder around the garden. Libby had walked all the way around the garden so with fifteen minutes left she decided to go and look in Honey Woods. She started to slowly walk down the muddy path towards the woods. The sun was not alone in the sky today in fact it was anything but alone in the sky you could barely see it with all the clouds. The trees were lovely as their autumn colours of yellows and browns brightened up the dull sky well the ones that hadn’t already fallen to the muddy floor below. Libby crossed the small wooden bridge that arched the river and walked further and further into the woods. She swore she could see some ones figure in the distance so she decided to stray of the path and go and see who or what it was. As she walked towards the figure it became clearer It was a young boy no younger than she was he was walking to her. ‘Hello’, Libby called out, when she was no more than three metres away from him ‘I’m Libby who are you?’
‘ Hi’, he said walking towards her. ‘ I’m Felix Smith I live in Waterfield manor’.
‘ Oh, so your Felix I was expecting a eighteen year old the way my Aunt talked about you’.
Felix blushed slightly, ‘No sorry to disappoint you but I still go to school. Barley cross, High School".
‘ I’m going to go there after the half term holidays. I hope it’s a nice as my old school,’ Said Libby as they walked back towards the bridge that arched over the river.
‘ It’s okay well for a school anyway. So how old are you? , Asked Felix, leaning back on the bridge.
‘ Fourteen. Why? How old are you?’ replied Libby
" I'm Fourteen, The same as you".
“So what house are you in?” asked Libby
“Nightingale”.
“Oh, so you know Matt then?” said Libby
“Yeah, I know him he’s my best mate at school. Why?”
“He and his dad brought me up here with all my stuff”, replied Libby.
“Do you like him?”
“He is alright, I suppose’, said Libby ‘ I better be getting back home for breakfast’.
‘ Would you like to come over my house for lunch?’ asked Felix.
‘ Yeah Okay,’ Libby smiled. ‘ You don’t mind if I bring my Aunty though do you?
‘ No. Of course I don’t. I think that my mum will be very happy to see and speak to her’, Replied Felix
‘ See you about one o’clock then?’
‘Okay. See you then’ said Felix
‘Bye’.
Bye’.
Libby turned around and started to walk up the muddy, leaf covered path back up to her Aunt house not turning back to look at Felix However he continued to watch her walk up the path until he could no longer see her. She reached the edge of the wood just in time to see Jayne running towards her.
‘ M’am sent me to look for you. Breakfasts ready. Libby are you okay?’
‘ What? Oh yes fine. We have been invited to lunch’, replied Libby walking up the gravel path with Jayne
‘ I take it you met Felix then?’
‘ Yes. Yes I did’, said Libby stepping up the stone steps in front of Honeyfield Manor.
Jayne opened the door ‘ You like him then?’
‘Yes he’s very friendly. I met him walking in the woods near the bridge’.
‘ Did you now?’ said Jayne leading Libby into the dining room after shutting the door behind them.
Libby sat down at the table next to the blazing fire to warm herself up after her walk.
‘ Have a nice walk?’ asked Cassie sitting down at the table to join Libby
"Yes, thank-you" It’s very nice this time of the year to walk in the woods. The leaves are such nice colours’, replied Libby taking a sip of her orange juice.
‘ Jayne tells me we have been invited to lunch with the Smiths’.
‘ Yes we have. I met Felix in the wood and …’
‘ I know Jayne told me dear’, said Cassie taking a bite of her marmalade on toast
‘"Oh? Right. Cool", He said… I thought we could go around at one’.
‘ Okay’, said her aunt Cassie,’ But after breakfast I think you better start unpacking as the Winter ball is in two days and I don’t think you will want your room full of boxes’.
“Yeah, I was going to start unpacking them after breakfast?’ asked Libby spreading some strawberry jam onto her toast.
‘ Yes, That would be a good thing to do. I had a phone call from your Mum she says that she is going to married to Robert this spring so when it comes to the wedding she wants you to be her Bridesmaid of Honour even though Robert didn’t want you to she insisted’.
‘ Oh right I didn’t think she wanted to stay in contact with me because of Robert’, said Libby
‘ Well, That’s not exactly true. Anyway when I adopted you the court judge said that if your mum wanted to stay in contact I had no right tot stop here that’s why she’s coming here at Christmas…with Robert and…’
‘With who?’ asked Libby?
‘ With your mum’s bump. She’s….’
‘Pregnant. Great’, Sighed Libby “ Anna told me but I didn’t believe her because my mum said that it wasn’t true. Why? The dirty little…”
‘ Libby don’t be like that. Yes she’s pregnant but what can you do?’
‘ Nothing I suppose’. Said Libby
‘ Well anyway she isn’t going to be here until Christmas so you have loads of time to think about what you’re going to say’, replied Cassie
‘ Would you like a fried egg M’am?’ asked another maid.
‘ Yes please Cecilia. Thank you’ said Cassie as Cecilia put a fried egg onto her plate
‘ Bacon and sausages?’
‘Yes please’.
‘ Beans and tomatoes?’
‘Yes please. Thank you’
‘ Hash Browns?’
‘ Yes. Thank-you Cecilia’, said Cassie tucking into her bacon
‘ Would you like the same Miss Elisabeth?’ asked Cecilia walking over to stand next to Libby
‘ Um everything but no fried egg or hash browns’, replied Libby ‘ Thank-you’.
‘ Would you both like some bread and butter? ‘
‘Yes’, they both chorused
‘ Just ring the bell if either of you require any thing else’, Said Cecilia, walking out of the dining room doors.
‘ This is lovely’, said Libby
‘ It is. I have the finest cook here in Oakfordly’, smiled Cassie.
‘ Well I better start to unpack my thing then’, said Libby getting up from the dining room table.
‘ Okay I’ll send Jayne up to come and get you when we leave for Waterfield manor’, Cassie called after Libby.
‘ Okay see you later then’.
When she had finally reached her room she reached her room she didn’t know where to start. She had so many boxes to unpack, but she decided to put her clothes away first. She flung open the wardrobes big doors and took out some of her hangers. She started to hang the clothes up but something was already hanging up in there, a blue and white ball gown. The top half of the dress was a baby blue colour and the skirt was white, along with a pair of silver sandals and a fluffy white shawl.
Libby took it out and but it up against her body looking in the mirror ‘ Aunt Cassie ’ she said shaking her head. She hung it back up and continued to take clothes out the box and hang them up in her wardrobe. In one corner of her room stood a lovely four-poster bed draped with blood red curtains, which were tied back at every corner, next to her bed stood a matching bedside table with a lamp and a alarm clock. Next to her wardrobe stood a lovely craved dressing table on it sat all her make-up attached to the dressing table was a large mirror with craved flowers going around the outside. Just then there was a knock at her balcony windows. Libby turned around to find Felix on her balcony.
‘What are you doing here?’ asked Libby opening her balcony doors to let him in.
‘ Well as I was so bored I wondered if you needed any help unpacking’, he replied sitting down on her bed.
‘ Who…. How did you know this was my room?’, asked Libby shutting the doors.
‘I saw you this morning standing on your balcony so I took a note of how many windows it was up and across’, he replied
‘ Oh but how did you get up here?’
‘ I climbed up the trellis and jumped onto the balcony. So can I help you?’
‘ Yes I suppose. Open that box of clothes there and you can help me hang them up’.
Felix opened a box and started to hang them on the hangers and pacing them to Libby.
‘What do I do if they don’t…. aren’t supposed to hang up?’ asked Felix holding up a thong
‘Um…’ said Libby blushing, ‘ Put them in the top left hand draw of the dressing table’.
‘Okay’ he replied opening the draw and popping them in.
‘So are you coming to the Winter ball on tomorrow?’ asked Libby putting away a stack of trousers.
‘Yeah, I suppose so I come every year’, he replied handing her a skirt.
‘ So are any of your friends coming?’
‘ Yeah well I know Evie, Matt and Siobhan are coming those are the people I hang around with but I play rugby will a few other mates as well’, Felix said sitting down on her bed, ‘ You have asked a lot of questions about me and now I’m going to ask some questions about you’ he laughed
‘ Okay’, Said Libby putting down a dress and came and sat next to him
‘ Where do you come from?’
‘ London’, she replied
‘ Cool, Um… Have you ever had a boyfriend?’
‘ Yeah one when I was in year eight but we hardly ever talked or saw each other for that matter and I only went out with him because my friends wanted to. Have you ever had a girlfriend?’ Replied Libby
‘ Yeah, two. I went out with Siobhan and Evie. Anyway I thought I was supposed to be digging the dirt on you’, laughed Felix, ‘ So why are you living with your aunt?’
Libby sighed, ‘ Well to start off my mum and dad split up and before you ask why even I don’t know. My mum moved in with her boyfriend after two weeks of them splitting up because somehow she managed to get herself a boyfriend a day after they split up so I was left with my dad who doesn’t like me and who has a girlfriend as well who hates my guts. So I had to go to court and get adopted by my aunt. That’s why I’m living here’.
‘ Oh’, he replied
Libby got off her bed and stood by the balcony doors.
‘ I’m sorry if I upset you’; he said gently “ how could anyone hate you?”
“Easily, well it must be because Anna does. It doesn’t matter, I’m Fine”, said Libby wiping away her tears, ‘ It’s not your fault’.
“I’m really sorry I didn’t mean to. Come here ’, Said Felix putting his arms around her
“It’s really not your fault,” said Libby hugging him back
“ I better go home otherwise my mum will wonder where I am”, said Felix
‘ Thanks for coming to help me’ said Libby
‘ That’s alright’, he said stepping out onto the balcony
‘Don’t go that way. Come back in and follow me. I’ll make sure nobody sees you’, Said Libby
‘ Okay’, said Felix coming back into Libby’s room shutting the door behind him.
Libby and Felix opened the bedroom door and made there way down the stairs careful not to make a noise they stuck to the carpeted bit in the middle. They made there way down the second flight of stairs without anyone noticing they were there and quietly made there way to the front door. Just as the pulled open the door Jayne came out from the kitchens.
‘What do we have here then’, she said in her soft Scottish accent ‘ I didn’t even know he was here Libby’.
‘ No one did he climbed up the trellis and onto my balcony. He helped me unpack my clothes’, replied Libby ‘ but he has got to go now’.
‘ Please don’t tell Ms Young I was here miss’, said Felix
‘I wont but you better hurry home though laddy before she sees you here’, said Jayne calmly.
‘Thank- you miss’, said Felix, ‘ See you later Libby. Bye’.
‘I’ll have to watch him’ laughed Jayne shaking her head; ‘ Now shut that door lassie before we catch a cold’.
It was nearly a quarter to one when Libby and her aunt set off to the Smiths. They started to slowly walk down the muddy path towards the woods. They crossed the small wooden bridge that arched the river and walked further and further into the woods. They carried on walking until the path turned into a folk muddy path carried on going right and the left path lead to the Smith’s house, they walked up the path in silence which they had done the whole way there. Libby and her aunt walked around the front of the house to see Felix waiting for them.
‘Hi’, he said
‘ Hi ‘, said Libby walking up the stone steps with her aunt behind her.
Felix opened the door letting Libby and her aunt in first before walking in the door himself then shutting it behind him.
The hall as you walked in was dullish; on one side there was a large reflecting the painting on the other side as they walked further in and it got brighter the carpet that had looked black was now a deep red and the wall were creamy white now with occasional picture.
‘Mum this is Libby and you already know here aunt’, said Felix leading them into the living room
‘It’s very nice to meet you Libby’, said Mrs Smith, ‘Cassie always a pleasure to see you and you look not a day older’.
‘Thank-you Edna. I’m glad Elisabeth and Felix get on so well together’, said Cassie glancing at Libby. Jayne had obviously told Cassie about Felix coming to visit her.
‘ Anyway I’m making us a nice lunch buffet because I wasn’t sure what Libby liked but it wont be ready for at least another half an hour. Felix why don’t you show Libby around our house, but don’t disturb your dad he is sulking in his room’.
‘Yes mum. Come on’, said Felix going back out of the living room into the hall. ‘ Follow me’.
Libby and Felix climbed the flight of stairs and walked across the landing missing the next flight of stairs and going into Felix’s room.
‘It’s not much’, he said taking a seat on his bed
Libby walked over to his balcony, ‘ What are these ladders for’; she asked spotting them on his balcony
‘ Oh’, he said getting up of his bed and walking over to Libby, ‘ I sit on the roof sometimes’.
‘ Can we go on there?’, asked Libby stepping out onto the balcony.
‘ Yeah if you like ‘, said Felix walking to the ladder, ‘ After you’ he said taking a hold of the ladders.
Libby slowly climbed up the ladders taking one step at a time until she finally reached the top followed by Felix who nearly fell onto her as Libby held out her hand to help him get up.
‘Sorry’ he said sitting down next to her.
‘It’s all right. It’s a bit cold’, said Libby rubbing her hands together.
‘ Here’, Said Felix putting his arm around her, ‘ you can cuddle up to me’.
Libby rested her head on his chest, ‘ Felix?’.
‘ Yeah’, he replied.
‘ Will you dance with me at the Winter ball on tomorrow”
‘Yeah. If you want me to’, he replied
‘I do want you to. Otherwise why would have I asked’, laughed Libby
‘ Oh yeah’.
‘Your not like the boys at my old school by now they would be trying to snog my face off but I can just sit here with you all night and nothing would happen. Maybe that’s just because I’ve just met you’, said Libby
‘Maybe’, he said
‘Yeah’, said Libby
‘What a lovely view’, he said
‘ Yes it is, Felix this will probably sound really silly because I’ve just met you but I think you are really nice and…’ Said Libby ‘ It’s like I have known you for ages’.
‘I know what you mean’, said Felix
‘Even though I have only just met you I can feel that we are gonna be friends forever’ said Libby ‘We better go inside’,
Felix got up to. ‘I hope we never fall out’.
‘Felix? Libby where are you? Lunch is ready’.
‘Come on then’, said Libby starting to climb down the ladders followed by Felix. They walked into his bedroom to Felix’s mum
‘Where have you to been?’ she asked
‘Up on the roof’, replied Felix
‘That’s nice. Anyway dinners ready now so come down stairs’, said Edna
Libby and Felix followed Edna down the stairs, onto the ground floor and into the dinning room where Cassie and Felix’s dad were already seated at the dining room table talking happily about schooling
‘So any I said to Felix just yesterday that even if school is boring to you, you’ll get a good education so what’s the point of moaning’ Said Mr Smith as Libby and Felix took there seats opposite each other at the table.
‘So this is Elisabeth. Libby?’ Said Mr Smith
‘Libby. Yes that’s right’, she replied taking a sip of her water.
‘Good, Good’.
‘Lunch is served’, called a maid who was followed by a number of others each carrying two plates each. All of them laying it on the table, waiting to be eaten.
‘Thanks that was really nice’, said Libby as they stepped outside into the fresh cold air.
‘Your welcome to come around anytime’, said Edna
‘Thanks again. I’ll see you tomorrow Felix’, said Libby setting off up the path followed by her aunt.
‘Bye’, called Felix after them
‘You like her don’t you’, said Edna closing the door.
‘Yeah she’s a nice girl’, he said walking up the stairs back to his bedroom.
‘Do you like Felix then?’ asked Cassie
They started to slowly walk down the muddy path towards the woods. They crossed the small wooden bridge that arched the river and walked further and further into the woods. They carried on walking until the path turned into a folk
‘Yeah, he’s cool’, replied Libby as they reached the woods opening . They reached the stone steps and Jayne opened the door.
‘Have a nice Lunch?’ she asked letting them in.
‘Yes it was very nice replied Libby shutting the door behind her.
