What is a Mind? ~ Mylee & Sarella

I wake up extra early this morning, for I want to think. Thinking is when I sob, so I stay far away from my friends when I want to think. I beging the 15-minute walk to my special place. I know almost everyone in my neighborhood, so I know that none of my friends go there. On my way, I put my hair up in my classic bun. I pull out the picture of my family. I take one look and shove it back into my pocket.

I pass Sophie's house and she's already at her door, wanting to talk to me about SOMETHING. "Not now." I think to myself, and duck behind a bush. She doesn't notice me and I keep walking. I wave to the Jun twins, say hello to the Varner's, even stop to chat with Mrs.Katre.

When I arrive at the entrance to my special place I pull out my shell bag, which I collected to decorate my place. I pull back the vines and there, right in my favorite spot is a boy. A BOY. I don't recgnize him, which is odd, I know most of the people here.


I examine this strange boy. He looks so much younger than I. Maybe around 13, or 14. At most 15. He as a rough, dark look about him. Scrawny, in my opinion. Almost as though he wants to be scary. He's pretty sandy, and dirty to. Red hair. I put my hand up to my hair, then slowly pull it down. Those eyes, I've never seen brown aeyes with red hair. Always blue. Sometimes green though.


He's looking at me. I roll my eyes, put on my cheery smile and try and befriend him.

. "Hello! I'm Alice, and I'm surprised to see you here, you know this is my spot, you look like me, and I know most people, oh yes, and WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I pause, relizing that must have been a pretty long sentence. I close my mouth and stare at him. . "Whatcha gonna do?" I think to myself, he just seems a bit hostile.

"What am I doing here? What are YOU doing here?" I say with hostility in my voice. I don't get pushed around, no way no how. This girl must think she's pretty tough to question why I'm here. I walk over to her, trying to look tough. I want this girl to be afraid, to beg to me to leave her alone. "Whatcha gonna do little girl?"

"What am I doing here? What are YOU doing here?" he yells. Then he calls me a little girl!

When he replies to me I don't even flinch. He is standing up now, trying to be intimidating of course. Silly boy, even though he's a bit rufled, does NOT make him scary enough. A matter of fact, now that I get a good look, he can't possibley be 15.

"I," I begin, "Am NOT a little girl, and this is MY place." Stick my tongue at him and shift my bag's weight. The shells clink together and I pull a few out. I walk around my hiding place and slowly decorate the area. I don't even look at him once. He's not worth my time. If I ignore him enough, maybe he'll leave. I certainly am not in a mood to fight. I wish he'd go away so I could think about my family. I begin to think if I should just go fishing and skip this, but that would be giving him power. So I stand back up and turn around to face him.

I look at this girl with amusement. I laugh to myself as she tries to go about, acting unbothered. "So sweetheart what's bothering you, because you look like you've got a pole up your butt." I walked around making myself at home. Suddenly thoughts flooded me, but I wasn't going to let them overthrow me.

[Sarella]

I close my eyes, contemplating what to do next. Shove or yell, shove or yell, shove or yell.....

His words snap my eyes open and I clamp my teeth on my tongue. I almost cry out, but don't, thinking about my sisters. I glare at him, giving no breaks between breathing and squinting. I successfully hide any emotions he could use, and let him know what I think of him.

It only lasts a few seconds, but it is rather amusing. I had thrown the rest of my shells at him, all at once, some hitting him in the legs, some flying towards his face. By how many I chuck at him, it's impossible for him to block them ALL. Most of the shells are roundish, and would only harm a wimp, but a few have some jagged edges. Hopefully he's no crybaby and won't tell.

I look at this girl with curiosity, the shells hitting my legs. Do I care? No not at all. In fact, it makes me want to laugh. Oh this girl thought she could make me nervous? Oh no, I'm so scared. The thought in my mind makes me laugh out loud. I know this frustrated her even more. This made me even happier. "You done trying to put up with me?" I asked with curiosity.

[Sarella]

He's so difficult. I roll my eyes and give in. "Yah sure, although it'd be nice if you left." Oh how frusterated I am. I push my foot under some of the sand, then give up. "Fine, have it for all I care." I walk out of the spot, and make my way to quiet beach. Then I sit down and keep my feet in the water. I close my eyes and get to thinking.
