As Julie was writing on her diary, she thought 'how could I believe all of this. These are like fantasies that I enacted in my bathroom. Maybe it is true, or maybe not.'
She decided to read the book again but the book wasn't there. She looked around. She couldn't find it. She suddenly ran to the librarian.
"Hey, um, I was reading this book of the history of 1834, august month but when I took my sight out, it wasn't there"
"A man just borrowed it" the librarian said.
"what. No way, I was reading it"
"History is always a crave for the people in glen tor. I don't know why. Sweetie, when I was your age I did unacceptable things and here you are, reading history! Shame!"
"But I was reading it"
"I am sorry. He'll return it, don't worry"
Julie sighed and said "can I have the man's address?"
"I am so sorry; I cannot share personal info. And what you are going to do with it? Have a Jackie Chan episode at his house?"
"Can I at least know the name?"
"You are up to something, his name's George Mattson. Now go, don't waste my time"
Julie thought 'who is George Mattson? And why the book?'.
Julie walked back to her home. She had nothing else to do. She got a coffee and started to walk.
"shh, hey" somebody called Julie. She turned around to see. It was a girl. She had brown hair. And green eyes. She was wearing a pink dress.
"Hi" Julie said.
"I am Lean. Am new here!"
"Hi" Lean? Just a word difference than Leah.
"Mr. Luke said I can borrow history notes from you."
"Oh. Yah. Sure. I'll give you"
"Thanks" she said and smiled, and started to walk with her.
"So. You're new here?" Julie asked.
"yeah." She replied "my parents were working at the city, and now they got transferred and we're here"
"Oh. And how long have you been here"
"2 weeks"
"Do you like here?"
"So far, yes. The people here are so sweet. And glen tor is now known as the mystery city. I like mystery"
Julie gasped and asked "u like mystery?"
"Yah. Fan"
"Me too."
"Oh. Coincidence." Suddenly Lean got a call and she declined it and said to Julie "Gotta run, see you tomorrow at school then"
"Bye"
Julie continued to walk, when she finally reached her home.
"Hey Julie" Julie's dad said to her. There was another guy with him.
"Dad. What are you doing here? u won't be home till 10" Julie asked with a confused face.
"True. But today I had to –
"Julie. Upstairs now" Julie's mom called out interrupting her dad. She ran to upstairs.
"God, what mom?" Julie asked.
"Clean your room. Now" Her mom said and left the room.
As she was cleaning her room, somebody called out.
"May I come in?"
"Yeah" Julie replied.
"Hey, I was there, downstairs, when your mom called you. I am here to discuss some business with your dad."
"Oh. I saw"
"Your dad said you are really interested in mystery. You know, I am a great fan of Sherlock Holmes."
"Really? Me too"
"He can teach you some tricks" Her dad came in between the conversation.
"George, this is Julie. Julie this is George or Mr. Mattson you may know. One of the best business man in glen tor."
Julie's eyes bulged out. This is George Mattson? Why does he want my book? What's he doing with my dad? Julie looked right at his eyes. She could see it. Lie. Suspicion.
