The boy wandered the house, looking for the girl, but he couldn't find her. He searched and searched but none of the people there he wanted to spend his birthday with.
He went and found his mom. "Where is she?" he asked her.
His mom looked and him and sighed. "Something happened. She couldn't be here."
Something happened. The boy hated that phrase.
"Something happened" was what adults told kids when they didn't want their kids to be upset.
"Something happened" was what kids were told when adults ate all the cookies.
"Something happened" was why his father couldn't come home, yet.
He waited and waited, but not even cake made him happy. Not even presents cheered him up.
The next day he went to the playground again and waited for her. She didn't show up.
Lark, who had followed, frowned. "What's the point of this place? I should replace it with a giant statue of me."
The boy began to cry. There were some times where Lark's cruelty was too much to bear.
The next thing he knew, though, the cat dropped a fat lizard onto the ground in front of the boy. "Now stop crying."

Awwww, poor Lucas.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the girl??? Suspense!!! z
I really loved the "something happened" moments. It was poetic and humorous at the cookie part.
I know this is supposed to be sad, but I practically cheered when Lark showed up. XD
