I had to chose which one would burn down next. Smokey Saloon is a local bar in the center of town, it was usually crowded but that was on weekends so on a Monday night it wouldn't be that crowded but there'd still be people. 59 Second street was a nice family on the other side of town, there were 3 small kids there. I babysat them once, they're so sweet. That couldn't be the one that I chose. Steven's Auto Parts was an old abandoned car part place that went out of business years ago. It was on the very outskirts of town. That wad going to be my choice. 12:30 was pretty late on a Monday night, so I'd have to sneak out. Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door. "April let me in! I forgot my key!" Grace yelled though the door. I ran downstairs and opened it. She walked in and threw her backpack on the chair in the kitchen. Then a thought hit me that sent shivers down my spine. I told her about the letter, what if she heard about the fire, maybe she knew about the fire and thought I did it, maybe she told people! "what's wrong April?" Grace asked staring at me. "I-I- umm did you do anything today?" I asked nervously. "nothin really, did you do what that love note said?" she asked still staring at me. "I ended up sleeping over at Alyssa's" I lied trying to avoid eye contact. She looked away and said "oh ok." I felt kinda bad, she worked so hard to pick out my outfit and do my make up, she walked up and out of the room. I hadn't realize I was hiding the letter behind my back. I wonder how suspicious I looked. I took the letter and ran up to my room where I found the other one on my dresser, nobody could see these. I shoved them in an old music box I got when I was little and put it in the top shelf of my closet. Paced my room thinking of a way to sneak out. There's a tree outside the bathroom window that I could climb down, that's all the way at the end of the hall, I'd have to be really quiet. I checked my watch, it was only 6 o'clock. I should do something to take my mind off this. I walked over to Alyssa's. Before I could even knock on the door I heard her high pitched screaming from the back yard.
