I can never think of a title...so please help! here you go! I hope you enjoy!!
I knew why I burnt down that house. But no one else knew that I was the on who burnt it down, and they didn’t know why. I am Aura Fontara; I am 15 years old. I have long brown hair that is always messy. I am wearing, blue jeans and a sweatshirt, red. I live on Calais St.
“Aura are you okay?” mom trembled. “I’m fine mom, stop treating me like I am a child!” I hissed. “Aura do you know who burnt down the house?” mom questioned. “No, sorry I don’t” I grinned. Of course I know who did. But I wasn’t going to tell her. My business, it was not hers. “I can’t believe your brother died in that house…he didn’t like he was burnt though.” Mom emphasized. He wasn’t burnt…but I couldn’t tell her that I killed him…oh no…he was her favorite, so he had to go. Poor, poor Sam…he was so young…of course I don’t care.
“Oh mom, don’t worry about it. He died and everyone is sad.” I faked a frown like I was sad, he was a pain in my side that had to go. “Yes, everyone is ever s sad, I can’t believe he was the one who died…”mom grimaced.
I bet she wanted me to die in the fire instead of him. She hated me the most anyway. I was always getting in trouble, always being blamed. Of course I was a perfect student, not. I was failing most of my classes. I got 18 detentions per month…I skipped them all.
“Yeah, only if.” I grinned. I was lying of course. I was the one who ended his life, and very happy about it. “Aura, I think we should find a place to stay right now.” Mom pointed out. “Yeah, true…how about we stay at Kir’s place?” I suggested. Kir, my best friend forever...been best friends since kindergarten. Of course her real name is Kirin, but I call her Kir. It’s a long story about why. “Good idea…she surely would let us stay at her place.” Mom approved. I usually was on good behavior at her house, that’s the only reason why she agreed so quickly. I liked hanging out with Kir so I tried to be on her mom’s good side, .if she had a good side. “Should I go get my stuff?” I questioned. I wonder what was left after the fire. I hope all the pictures of Sam were burnt to ashes. Thoughts of him...gone. “What stuff? I don’t think we have anything left…I don’t want to try and look for anything either.” Mom noted. “Does that mean I have to borrow some of Kir’s clothes?” I asked. Nothing new I usually ended up changing at her house into something of hers. “Yes, I think that will work.” Mom agreed.
WE drove to Kir’s house, which wasn’t that far away. Kir ran up to me and hugged me. She put her mouth to my ear. “What did you do this time?” Kir whispered. “I will tell you when we get into your room.” I replied. Then I followed Kir to her room and changed into a denim skirt and blue t-shirt. We both sat on the bed. “Now explain,” Kir demanded.
I thought carefully about what I was going to say. I had to edit it all. So I told her that Sam died and the house was burned. See how I didn’t say that I was the one who did that? I can’t let anyone know that I did…it will be my deepest and darkest secret. :” I wonder who did it.” Kir pondered. “So do I.” I lied. Kir gave me a hug. “I’m so sorry Sam died!” she cried. “So am I.” I lied. I forced myself to cry tears…but not tears of sadness…tears of happiness. We did that for a few minutes until we were interrupted. “Time for dinner!” mom yelled. “Coming!” we both yelled back. We whipped away our tears then ran down those creaky stairs.
“They found something that could identify who burnt down the house, Aura. Isn’t that great news? Soon we will get that person in jail.” mom explained. I hope they never find out who did it…since I already knew. It was horrible news, but I faked a smile, “That is definitely great news!” I cheered. Okay…maybe I went a bit over board with the enthusiasm…but whatever. They both stared at me for some time but then went on eating dinner.
Kir and I went back up into her room. We talked some more about what happened. Then changed the subject immediately when it went towards Sam. A few hours later we both went to bed and slept peacefully…well not entirely peacefully…Kir snores…always has. Very loud might I add! It took me forever to fall asleep. But I finally did and my dream was about Sam.
I woke up finally to find that Kir was not there. I looked around the room, pink ugh. I hate the color pink…weird how we are friends since we are complete opposites. I got out of the bed then ran down stairs. My mom was there, pacing back and forth, deep in thought. “Hey mom!” I shouted. “Hi Aura…they found something else which proves that it was a teenage girl, around your age who burnt and killed Sam…they say he was murdered not burnt to death.” Mom hesitated. “He was murdered?” I questioned. Of course I knew that…but she didn’t know that I knew…these people are finding out too much, to quick. “Yes he was.” Mom whispered.
She went off to another room, and I thought I could hear her cry. Did she think that someone we knew did it? Dad? Me? Kir? Dad, haven’t seen him since Sam was born…which was 10 years ago…I was five. I think she suspected me…had to be me.
“There you are! Kir I was wondering if you thought someone we knew killed Sam?” I asked. I bet she did. I know when she lies to me…sop if she says no then I will know if it really is yes. Kir flinched at hearing his name. “No.” Kir said then walked off. She meant to say…yes.
I went and sat on the couch. I was bored, nothing to do but sit here and wait for the police to come and get me. That’s where I was heading jail…oh wait no Juvenal hall or whatever it was called I bet those people were r=figuring it out right now, that I was the one who did it. Kir finally came and sat down. Her face was blank. “Aura, they know who did it…the last thing they found identified her.” Kir sighed. “So who did it?” I asked. I was trying to play dumb. I can’t believe they know I did it already! It’s only been a few days. “You.” Kir sighed. “Me?” I said seeming startled. “Aura stop playing dumb!” Kir yelled in anger. “Aura, the police are here for you…” mom sobbed. I knew she couldn’t believe that I did it. Two men then came in the door and grabbed my arms and dragged me out. “Know what mom? When I get out your next! I hate you!” I yelled. “I love you…” mom whispered. I disappeared from their sight and was gone…for now…
