I was sitting at the dinning hall in school, I looked at the girl that was
sitting beside me, her long black hair was tied up in a pony tail, her dress
with flowers matched her shoes and her blue eyes looked straight at me,
she did not stop talking since I got there!
The classes went on normally and the end of the school day finally came. I
waited for my brothers at the entrance, Max is 12 years old, he has blonde
hair, blue eyes and he is noticeably tall for his age. David my other brother
is 16, only 14 months bigger than me, he has light brown hair, green eyes
and he is a little bit taller than me. Leila! David called out. Hi, is grandpa
picking us up? he nodded, yes, he is a little late because he is in a
meeting with Maxs director I frowned, why, is Max ok? I asked
worried, he nodded, Yes just some problems... I cant believe a
bully punched Max when Leila finds out she will go crazy! - he thought, I
opened my mouth in shock, What?! Who punched him?! I screamed,
everyone looked at us, wow Leila! calm down Who told you? I instantly
got relaxed,
I mmm but my grandpa interrupted me, get in the car... he said, I
looked at Max, he had a bruise around his left eye and a small cut around
his lip, Who did this to you?! I asked while I hugged him, live me alone
Leila! he shouted No Max! I have to do something, tell me who did this!
I asked again, Enough! Everyone in the car now! my grandpa ordered,
the 3 of us hopped in the car without saying a word.
The way home was quiet, except for the radio, Go to your rooms
grandpa said when we got there, we nodded. Lets go... David said, I
followed him into the house,
Max honey, what happened to you? my grandma asked when she saw
him, Max rolled his eyes and ignored her. Dont worry he is ok... I said,
then I walked to my room, I took my cellphone and called Tyler. Hello?
Hi Tyler.... Oh, hi Leila Are you getting prepared for the party? About
that I dont know if I can go.... What? Why?. Because my grandpa got
mad and he wont let me go.... Come on! Have you asked him yet?.
No Then what are you waiting for? Go!. Fine. I hanged up the
phone and ran to the kitchen. Hi grandpa I said smiling. He frowned
No. I frowned, What? You dont even know what I was going to say! he
nodded, You were going to ask me if you could go to that girls party. I
got near him, How did you know?. He smiled, The walls are thin,
honey and no, you cant go. I growled Why not?! I am 15 years old
grandpa! I said angrily. He rolled his eyes, Youre not going... I walked
out of the kitchen, Mom and Dad would let me go! I entered my room
and grabbed my cellphone, I jumped on my bed and called Tyler again.
Tyler? Hi, did he say yes?. No but Im still going Im going without
my grandpas knowing.... What? When did you become such a rebel?.
Shut up! I hanged up the phone and ran to my closet, I took some nice
clothes and put them on, Nine fifteen, Tyler should be here in any
second I said. Leila here!. I looked at my window and saw Tyler
trying to climb up. What are you doing?! I asked. He rolled his eyes,
What do you think genius? Now come down! he said frowning. Ok, wait
for me outside I said while I was walking out of the room, I tiptoed to
the front door and slowly opened it Where are you going?
I turned around and saw Max, I Im going to a party but please dont
tell grandpa! he nodded, Fine now go before anyone else sees you
He said entering the kitchen.
I walked out the door and saw Tyler. Hi, wheres your mom car? he
laughed, We are not going with my mom, we are going in my
motorcycle! he said climbing on it. Are you serious? Awesome!. He
laughed I hope any cop sees us because I dont have a license- he
thought. I laughed. Lets go! he said speeding up, a couple of minutes
later we were there, we parked in a huge house which I suppose belongs
to Stephaneys parents, we walked to the front door. I could hear the music
from 3 blocks away. Tyler opened the door and dragged me to the dance
floor. Do you want a glass of soda? he screamed on top of the music. Yes
please! I replied, he nodded and disappeared in the crowd, I danced for a
while until Tyler appeared again with two glasses of strawberry juice in his
hands Here you are he said handing me the glass. Thanks! I said
taking a sip from it. Hello everyone! Thank you for coming to my party!
Now it is time to make the jumping circle! Stephaney shouted in a
microphone. What is a jumping circle? I asked Tyler, he smiled,
Everyone starts jumping while they push everyone to the middle making
a jumping circle! he explained. I nodded, everyone started pushing and
jumping. Leila! Your drink! Tyler screamed, one second later I had the
juice all over me, Nooo! I screamed, I started to push people to make my
way to the bathroom, when I was about to get there someone grabbed my
arm and dragged me inside a room. Hi Leila... A guy said. He had black
hair, green eyes and white skin, Umm hi do I know you? I asked. He
laughed, No... but I know you he replied, I raised an eyebrow, Wow!
Not creepy at all! I said sarcastically, Im sorry I didnt mean to make
uncomfortable he said frowning. Then why did you drag me in here in
the first place? He took a paper from his pocket, I need your help I
laughed, No way! I dont know you!. He handed me the paper, Leila, I
knew your parents, they told me to give you this in the right moment
and this is the right moment I frowned, No! You dont know my
parents! They left this world and they are not coming back believe me I
learned that long ago I screamed, he frowned, Look at the paper... he
ordered, No! I said again, It will help you to understand your powers!
he said, I frowned, Fine but if this is a joke youre dead... he rolled
his eyes. I looked at the paper it was a letter from my parents It said:
Dear Leila, you might be confused right now but Ryan is the only person
you can trust, your powers are unique and special, take care of them, you
have to help Ryan he will tell you what to do. We love you and always
remember, you are stronger and braver than anyone love you, Mom and
Dad I looked at the guy, So you are Ryan he nodded. Fine what do
you want me to do... he smiled, There is someone in this party he is
part of an old group of dangerous wizards we need to catch him... I
laughed. Are you serious? Wizards? Come on!. He extended his hand and
looked at me, take a step back he ordered, I moved and raised an
eyebrow, he closed his hand and suddenly fire started to come out of it,
Stop! What are you doing?! I screamed. He laughed, Do you believe me
now?. I nodded Good, now here he is... he handed me a picture of an
ugly old man, I dont think this guy is in here I said, he rolled his eyes.
Thats when he was old. Now, he looks younger he said. I nodded. And
how am I supposed to know who is he?. He handed me a box, You have
to go with this box, when the wizard sees it will call its attention and he
will plan how to steal it from you and thats when you use your power to
know what they are thinking so we can catch him! he said. I frowned,
Isnt he dangerous? I asked worried. He nodded, But dont worry I will
be right beside you I nodded. Fine lets go I walked out of the
room with the box in my hands. I went to the dance floor and started to
look for anyone who looked at me for a while no one seemed to notice
me until I heard something Is that the box?!- someone thought. I looked
around me to see who was looking at me but nothing How am I going
to take it from her? - the same person thought again, I frowned. Hey
Leila! Tyler said. I smiled, Hi Tyler this is not the right time Im a little
bit busy I said, he smiled, Whats that box? Can I see it? he asked. I
was about to give it to him until I heard something again Finally the box
will be mine! - I looked at Tyler and opened my mouth in shock. What?! It
is you?! I screamed. He frowned. What are you talking about? he asked.
I nodded, Yes, you know Tyler! I screamed again. Tyler smiled, Actually
yes, I is me! he said laughing, then he extended his hand just like Ryder
and a huge fire ball came out of it causing everyone to scream. Ryder! It
is him! I screamed. Tyler laughed, What? Youre on Ryders team? Thats
too bad, I thought you could be my evil partner! he said sarcastically.
Ryder appeared behind me. Open the box Leila! Ryder screamed. Tyler
frowned, But you would not kill me Im your best friend Leila
Please Tyler begged, I looked at Ryder and then at Tyler. Ryder is the
only person you can trust I remembered what my parents wrote on the
letter. Im sorry Tyler I dont get along with crazy and old wizards... I
opened the box and a white light came out of it, it flew over Tyler and
wrapped him, then it grew until it covered all the room. Everyone to the
floor! Ryder shouted, the light kept growing until it exploded. Everyone
screamed, I looked around, Where is he? I asked Ryder, he smiled, I
dont know but he wont come back He replied. Ryder grabbed the
box and stood up. I need to leave Leila... he said, I frowned. What?
Why?!. He laughed, I dont belong here I smiled So I wont see you
again? I asked him, he shook his head, No! We will se each other! But I
have to leave now he said smiling. I laughed, Ok oh! and when you
come back I know a really good caf where we could go he frowned, is
that a date? he asked smiling, Maybe you will see when you come
back.. I replied. He laughed, Goodbye... he said. Bye... I said walking
to the door -This was the best and weirdest night of my life - I though
Lleg en navidad
en un da de mucha felicidad
meda medio metro
pero aun as era tierno.
Mi perro lleg

y de ese modo

Mi perro me entiende
al mismo tiempo que aprende

me ayuda a tener amistad.
