Mom said
"Of course. Um... What are you guys doing here?"
"It's game night. You knew that." Dad said
"They went inside the cabin and froze when they saw Melissa.
Allison smile. "I think I know why he forgot."
"Kyle, who is this lovely young lady?" Mom asked
"She is a friend."
"What's your name?" Dad asked Melissa.
"Melissa." she said
"I like that name." Allison said. Allison turned to me. "I need to talk to you Kyle. In the kitchen." She pulled me by the sleeve, dragging me into the other room. "You talk to Melissa for a little while, Katy. Okay?" My eyes stayed glue to Melissa as me and Allison stood in the kitchen, next to the refrigerator.
"What's up?" I asked, tearing my gaze away.
"Don't play dumb with me, Kyle!" she whispered. "Is this the friend who had the dog?" she asked
"Yes
"You didn't tell me that your friend is a girls." She held her upturned palm toward the Melissa in the living room who had crouched down to be on eye level with Katy. "She is beautiful. And those eyes!"
"She is only a friend. She just passing through." My eyes are now on Melissa and Katy. The feeling was mutual as Katy grinned up at Melissa. They seem to be getting along. "She will be gone before I know it." My voice was far away. Allison gave me a playful punch
"You like her!" My head jerked around, my eyes wide. "Keep your voice down! What gave you that idea?"
"You should see the expression on your face while you're looking at Katy and Melissa together."
I scowled fiercely. "Says you."
"Maybe so, but I call it as I see it. You've got it bad for this girl, which I don't blame you for. Does she know?"
"No"
"Why?"
"Can we not talk about this?"
"Fine, but we will continue this later."
"Ok."
"I will remind you." Allison smiled and left the kitchen

'sigh' I smooth my hair back in frustration. I can't believe Allison know about how I feel about Melissa. I know Allison. She is not good at keeping secrets, so I hope Allison keep this one. After a few minutes of calming down, I left the kitchen.

Melissa


Kyle left out the kitchen and joined me, Katy, Allison and his Mom and Dad in the living room. Katy was sitting next to me.

"So, Melissa. When did you meet Kyle?" Mr. Jackson said
"Two weeks ago." I said
"Oh. Where did you guys meet?" Allison asked
"In the woods." I said. Allison rose a eyebrow
"In the woods?" Mrs. Jackson asked
"What Melissa mean is, we met outside the woods and went on a hike." Kyle said. I look at him.
"Oh.." Allison said
"Where is your parents?" Mrs. Jackson asked
"My Dad is somewhere, but Mom is dead."
"Oh. I'm so sorry about your loss." Mr. Jackson said
"Why are you sorry? You didn't kill her." I said
"What is her name?" Allison asked.
I turned to her. "Larissa. My Dad name is Hunter."
"Nice name. Where are you staying? Mrs. Jackson asked
"Here." Everyone looked at Kyle
"Oh really. Kyle, why haven't told us this?" Mr. Jackson said
Kyle look at me, then look away. "She just staying for a while."
Mrs. Jackson turned to me and said. "Ok."'''
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Allison asked
"No."
"How old are you?"
"17" Allison smile at Kyle. When I look at him, he would turn his head away.
"Kyle, you are 18, isn't that a coincidence." I rose a eyebrow at Allison.
"Can we change the subject? Kyle asked.
"Sure." Mrs. Jackson said. "Melissa, What school did you go to?"
"I didn't go to school. I was trained."
"Trained?" Mr. Jackson asked
"Yes. Trained to fight." They all look at me with confusion and shock.
"How long have you been trained?"
"Since I was 5." Everyone went quiet.
"Let's order some food. I'm starting to get hungry." Kyle said, breaking the silence.
"What do you want to order?" Allison asked
"What about Chinese food?" Mrs. Jackson suggested
"Is that another pizza place?" I asked. Everyone looked at me confused.
"Is she serious?" Allison asked Kyle
I was about to say something, but Kyle said, "No. She studied acting at home. She just kidding." I look at Kyle and frowned. Kyle looked at me. "Right Melissa?"
"Yes. Just kidding." I said. Everyone sighed in relief.
"You almost scared me a little bit. You are a good actress because I believed that you really didn't know what Chinese food is." Allison said I wanted to tell Allison that I really don't know what Chinese food is, but if I do, Kyle might say that I am acting again. Kyle's family ordered their food. I didn't know what any of this stuff were, but I ordered the orange chicken. I never seen an orange chicken before, but I'll eat it. After they ordered their food, they decided to play Charade's. Allison said that I was on her team, while Kyle and Mr. Jackson would be a team. Mrs. Jackson would be taking score and also taking care of Katy. Kyle came to me and told me what I had to do.
"Do you understand?" Kyle asked me.
"I think so. I have to act things out." I said
"Yes. Don't worry. You will do great." He smiled. I tried my best to not blush.
"Okay." But I was so nervous/ I never been nervous in my life. I never played games. I only participated in tournaments, not... games. I didn't even notice that Allison was calling me.
"Melissa?" she said. I turned to her
"Yes?" I said
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Just thinking." Allison was about to say something, then stopped herself. All she did was nod.

When the game started, I have guessed everything that Allison acted out. One reason why I got it right is because I heard them whisper what to act out. My team was ahead. Allison didn't let me go because I was good guessing the names. I didn't mind that I wasn't acting out anything. It was finally the last round.

"Wait. You not letting Melissa go. Let her act out something." Mrs. Jackson said
"Mom. I don't think Melissa wants to do it." Kyle said
"But you said that she is studying to be an actress."
"She is.. she probably didn't want to act anything."
"Yeah, she probably don't want to go.." Allison said. Mrs. Jackson turned to me.
"Do you want to act anything out?" Mrs. Jackson asked me
I look at Kyle and he shook his head. When Mrs. Jackson look at Kyle, he stopped
"Okay." I finally said. So I stood up and went to Kyle's team, for they can tell me what to act out.
"Dad. What do you want to Melissa to be?" Kyle whispered. Mr. Jackson looked at me, then picked a card from the box and gave it to me. Kyle came to me and look at the name. The name on the card is "wolf" This time I blushed.
"I don't think she should be doing this one." Kyle said
"You just saying that because you know I will get it right." Allison said
"No. That is not true." he look at me. "Do you want to do this one?" he asked me
I was going to say something, but Allison came to me. "Of course she want to do it." she said. Kyle sighed
"Fine." Kyle look at me. "All you have to do is act out what is on the card. Do not give a hint."
"O-k" I was really nervous. Allison sat down. I'm suppose to act like a wolf, but I am piratically a wolf. I did a small howl.
"Melissa, can u do it more loudly. I can't hear you." Allison said
On the second try, I took a few breaths, then howled again. I tried not to make it so real, but I guess it didn't work. They was looking at me with shock.
"Wow, Melissa. You are a good actress. That was good." Mr. Jackson said. I sighed with relief.
"I know this one!" Allison said "A wolf!"
"Correct." I said
"We won the game!" Allison said excitedly
"Well. Congratulation Melissa and Allison." Mrs. Jackson said. Kyle smiled
"Why you not smiling?" Allison asked me
"Maybe this will help." Mr. Jackson said. He came to me and start tickling my stomach. I rose an eyebrow at him and took a step back. "You not ticklish?"
"No." I said
"I know what will make her laugh." Alison said
"What?" Mr. Jackson asked
"Your singing." All I did was stare.
"It didn't work. Mr. Jackson said
"Its okay. One day, I will make u laugh Melissa." Allison said. I look at Kyle. I wasn't use to all of this. I would be used to Dad telling me not to laugh because it shows weakness and emotion. I didn't get what Dad meant, but I followed his rules. For the rest of the night, we played games and eat. I can admit, the orange chicken was delicious. I like Kyle's family. They are so nice, but I can't get too close with them. If I do, it would be hard for me to leave. After that, they put on some movies to watch. All the movies was interesting. During the third movie, I start to get tired . So I laid my head on Kyle's shoulder. I tried to stay awake, but I was too tired, so I fell asleep.

Kyle


Halfway during the movie, 'Chronicles of Narnia', Melissa fell asleep. I can see Allison smiling.

"Shut up." I said in a whisper. All Allison do was smile. When the movie was over, Mom Dad, Allison, and Katy got ready to leave. I got up slowly for I won't wake Melissa. I laid her back down on the couch.

"Wow.. Today was fun." Dad said
"Yeah." I said
"I like Melissa. She's a great girl." Mom said
"She is." Allison said. She smiled. She was holding Katy because she fell asleep. "I can't wait to see her again."
"Yeah. I'll see you soon." I gave them hug then they left. I went to Melissa. She was still asleep, so I picked her up and brought her to the bedroom. I laid her down on the bed and I was about to leave..
"Kyle wait." Melissa said. I turned to her
"What's wrong?" I asked. Melissa was looking up at me.
"Don't leave yet." I sat down next to her.
"Melissa, are you okay?"
"Yes... No.. I don't know. Just confused."
"Why?"
"Your world is different than mine. I'm just not used to it."
"Don't worry. You doing good."
"Do you think I will find my family." I look at Melissa and all I see is sadness.
"I really don't know. All I can tell you is to keep trying." Melissa nodded. I stood up and was about to leave again.
"Good night Kyle." When I look
