**my first story, hope you enjoy**
"April, mail for you" my mom said looking up from the short stack of bills in her hand as she walked towards me. Who actually wrote letters anymore? Maybe it was from an old relative who hadn't discovered cell phones. "who's it from?" I asked. "Doesn't say" she replied. I stared at it, on the outside of the envelope it simply said "April Gray" in fancy, curly letters, like the kind on wedding invitations. I walked up the stairs into my room and ripped it open. The paper inside wasn't as fancy as the cream colored envelope but still had the fancy handwriting. "11:40 Church on Willow Road" was written on a ripped off piece of notebook paper. I stared blankly at it for a few seconds, not knowing what to think. I checked the envelope again for a name other than mine but there wasn't any. "weird" I though out loud. Suddenly there was a knock at my door "come in" I said. My sister, Grace, swung the door open. She was 12 and I'm 14 but we still hang out. She was really pretty, blond wavy hair and big brown eyes, she always had a new boyfriend after a week or two. "what's up?" she asked in her sing-songy voice. "got this letter I'm the mail" I said tossing the letter to her. Her chestnut colored eyes widened "OH MY GOSH YOU GOT A LOVE NOTE??" she shrieked with delight. I blushed "I don't think it's a love note." I looked at my feet to hid my face growing red. "wear something cute! Let me do your hair!" Grace rambled on with things I have to do. Soon enough the warm afternoon turned into the chilly night and 11:15 rolled around. I better get walking.
