I walked along the road, over the bridge, away from the sea, towards the house. I went into the
house and looked in every downstairs room. I looked into every place she might have hidden it.
Then I heard a car a long way off but coming nearer. I ran upstairs and looked into the bedrooms
and into the bathroom. I looked under the bed and walked through all of the rooms. When I looked
out of the window I saw a car down at the bottom of the hill. It was her car. She was coming back
along the road towards the house. She was racing up the hill and went round the corner so fast that
she crashed into a tree. But that did not stop her. I saw her get out of the car and cross over the
road. She ran towards the house, away from her car. There was something in her hand. It might
have been a knife. Scared, I ran back downstairs, out of the door, across the garden, through the
trees, back towards the sea. When I swam underneath the waves, down into my own world, I knew I
was safe again.

Lilly loves her new town. She loves the mall. She loves the parks. She also loves her
school. Most of all, though, Lilly loves the seasons. In her old town, it was hot all of the time.
Sometimes it is cold in Lilly's new town. The cold season is in winter. Once in a while it
snows. Lilly has never seen snow before. So for her, the snow is exciting as well as very
beautiful. Lilly has to wear gloves to keep her hands warm. She also wears a scarf around her neck.
In spring, flowers bloom and the trees turn green with new leaves. Pollen falls on the cars
and windowsills and makes Lilly sneeze. People work in their yards and mow their grass.
In summer, Lilly wears her old shorts and sandals— the same ones she used to wear in
her old town. It’s hot outside, and dogs lie in the shade. Lilly and her friends go to a pool or play in
the water sprinkler. Her father cooks hamburgers on the grill for dinner.

Lilly’s favorite season is autumn. In autumn, the leaves on the trees turn yellow, gold, red,
and orange. Halloween comes in autumn, and this is Lilly’s favorite holiday. Every Halloween, Lilly
wears a costume. Last year she wore a mouse costume. This year she will wear a fish costume.
One evening in autumn, Lilly and her mom are on sitting together on the porch. Mom tells
Lilly that autumn is also called “fall”. This is a good idea, Lilly thinks, because in fall all of the leaves
fall down from the trees.
