The Mystery<\/h2>\n

flash fiction by Ysabel Torres (teen)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have been watching them quarrel through the window. Most of the time on my way home, I say hello to Sadie, pretend to walk towards my house, then sit there watching her argue with her mom over something. I can only see their faces though the window, no physical content just emotions. Normally, one turns out nice or tries to start fresh again, but the other says something to tick each other off.<\/p>\n

Of course, I would ask Sadie what\u2019s going on with her and her and her mom, but I don\u2019t want to seem nosy or let her know I’ve been watching her. It\u2019s not weird right? I mean, I love her like my sister and I should care. \u00a0I shouldn’t walk away and let her be disappointed nearly every day. I could watch her from my window since we live across the street from each other, but I\u2019m afraid that at a glance, she might catch me watching.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! I’ve had enough.\u00a0 Whatever they\u2019re arguing about I most find out! \u00a0It\u2019s been affecting her at school and her attitude with people! While we were walking home from school, I say \u201cSadie, what\u2019s going on?\u00a0 Are you okay?\u201d She replies, \u201cyea, I\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Sadie, I know I\u2019ll have a hard time getting it out of her \u2018cause she isn’t the type who tells right away.<\/p>\n

I realize that I better give up, but hold out for hope.<\/p>\n
