Blog #5 - Shooting Stars

"Whoa"! "what is that?" Wait! I think it's a shooting star, make a wish"

It was starting to get late almost 7:30 in the evening and I was busy typing away on my laptop when I heard a commotion outside.

I peeped through my window, and I saw a crowd of people gathers around, all staring at the sky. I looked up towards the sky to see what they were all looking at and saw something flash across the sky. My cat jumped back and fell off of the marble table it was standing on, startled by the vivid light coming from the sky. I wasn't sure if I should have gone out to explore more or not, but I went ahead and joined everyone anyways. I grabbed my coat, slid on some slippers, and headed out. I looked around to see if there were any familiar faces, but I never spoke to my neighbors, so that was pointless. I walked around to get a better view of the sky when I eventually accidentally bumped into a man. 

"Excuse me," I said backing away before I could get a glimpse of the person.

"Oh, you're fine. Wait, I know you. Halle, right?"

It was Lee Ocean. "Oh it's you," I said trying to seem excited. 

"So, what is everyone doing out here?" I asked 

"There are shooting stars tonight, and some are here to make a wish and others are to enjoy the show."

 I nodded and hung around for a bit, trying not to bring up Mr. Evans and the last time we met. The situation started getting awkward when a group of people started telling each other what they wished for and mentioned how they both wanted to know what happened to Mr. Evans. I could almost feel him eyeing me from the side. I quickly said my goodbyes and went back home. I closed all my curtains and locked all doors in case anyone wanted to pop by uninvited. 

That night I decided to go to bed a little early, kind of relax from reality a little bit. I gave the cat some food and went to bed.
