One summer evening as I was walking from the park in return to my house I encountered this young guy of my age with a weird looking hat. As I was walking past him i stopped by to greet him. "Hello there human girl' he responded. My sister and i giggled and just kept on our way home. When we arrived we told our mother of our little encounter with this guy that we had thought he was weird. Our mother encouraged us to be polite and welcome him to the block. Her words were as said "You should both talk to him, he must be new to this part of town and must feel out of place". We knew that if we did not do as mother said we would have to do it with her taking us by the hand. Who would want to do that? Besides the guys was not that bad looking.
The next day on our way to the park we stopped by our new neighbor's house to invite him to the park with us so we could get to know him better. He must have been really bored because he accepted imidiately. We sat at a picnic table trying to make conversation with him for a little over an hour. When it came to be sunset he said he was sorry but he had to leave, and as he did he said he left in such a dash. He seemed to have this speed of a sports car within seconds.
When we got home we told our mother all the information he had given us such as where he was from and such things like that. He told us he was from England and his name was Oliver, he was 15years of age but seemed to be 18years. What had left us pondering was how fast he was able to run.
The whole month we spent accompanied by Oliver. It has seemed to us that England was really behind in many things because we taught Oliver everything there is to be and American. The sports we played them all the foods we tasted all. We had became best of friends. It was a little odd though that he never seemed to have interest in other young girls even if he did attract all of them, and he was never able to be out after dark we had guessed his parents were just really strict with that. We met his parents there was something odd with them too but we hadn't been able to figure out what it was exactly. They never accepted our invites to dinner nor did they never invite us.
One day we had gone to knock on the door but as we walked closer to the door we noticed it was open. We walked in but the house was empty. Out of the corner of my eye i had noticed something. It was a letter from Oliver. It stated
"Dear crystal and angelica, I greatly appreciate your warm welcome to my presence here in Albuquerque. Though i am very sorry for not being truthful towards you. My name is Oliver I am a teenager but not exactly a teenage boy more like a teenage alien boy from outer space not England. I Love the way you humans live but i had to go back to my planet. Earth was in danger if i and my parents did not return back. You two were great human friends. I am going to miss playing what you two called soccer. I was always afraid of you finding out the truth and disliking me. During sunset i hid from you both because i turn into my natural alien form at night. I thank you for everything friends.
PS: I may go back and visit soon....i will also try to get in touch with you both in some way.
