A Long Day Ahead

Just when Anna and I were finishing our ice cream when a boy walked into the kitchen. He had bright red hair and freckles that looked like they had exploded onto his face. He looked very familiar.
“Hi.” he said, giving Anna and I a gentle smile.”I’m Dailey.”
“Hi. I’m Anna.” said Anna.”And this is James.”
I waved at him.”Nice to meet you. Have I seen you before?”
Dailey nodded. “Yeah. I showed you to your room on your first day here.”
“Oh!” Anna cried. “I remember you now. You were so nice to me.”
Dailey blushed the color of his hair. “Aww. It was nothing, just trying to help.”
I immediately liked DaIley, he seemed like a great guy. “Do you live here?” I asked him, cleaning up the dishes from our ice cream.
“Yeah. I’m Angela’s older brother.”he said.
“Really? I looked at him in surprise.”You look nothing like her!”
He shrugged.”That’s what everyone says.”
He was taller than me, and had a tan and pale blue eyes, almost clear. He looked about sixteen.
“You two should get to bed, long day ahead.”
