Summertime, June, 16th, 1934
Detectives surrounding the area of the lake. A dead body was found. A young girl's body. The young girl was Anna Hawkes, nine years old, blond hair, green eyes. My best friend.......ex best friend. Let's just say, this little girl did not play nice with me and left me forgotten. She's lucky. Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky. The detectives found her and not me. Well, I'm sorta used to it since I've always known to be forgotten and alone. Now, I'm dead, forgotten, alone, wet, and sunk deep into the water. How did Little Miss Anna Hawkes die? Hehe, me of course. She drowned me first and told my mommy and older sissy that I couldn't swim and sunk into the water. No. She killed me first. That's what I get though for playing with an older girl that finds me annoying and stupid. Know what? She's the meanie fat head. Not me. Bye bye, Anna. tu will soon be forgotten........


Years past and sixteen año old Mimi Lowe was going to her great grandmother's house. She hated going there. She hated hearing about her grandmother's past and how she did this and that. It was an endless cycle of boring stories about history of her grandmother's "so-called" exciting lifestyle. She would always start with,"Did ya hear about the time I actually was a flapper and Curly from The Three Stooges actually asked me to have his hand in marriage?" o "Did I ever share that one time that I lost an audition to a movie to Shirley Temple? We actually kept in touch after that!" o something flat out odd like,"Did tu ever find out that I once had a modeling job partnered with Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page? What a sweetheart she was!" Though most teenage children may find other grandparents' stories kinda boring o slow, Mimi's great grandmother's were actually rather interesting! But Mimi refused to believe a lick of it and was cursed with a gift of knowing más pop culture from the past than now. She used to be teased about it in forth grade. She bragged about her gift of knowledge of past pop cultures but other kids always said,"Who?" "Who cares? That's old!" "Are tu an old lady o a nine año old?" "Does it look like they still matter now?" "Who was that chick from that other thing?" Nonsense like that made Mimi feel awkward, hurt, and upset. Yet she loves older things, and loves her great grandmother's stories, but acts like they're boring. The only reason was is because a girl from her high school only lives a block away from her grandmother and feels self conscious about how others look at her. She tells her great grandmother that they're interesting, but lies to the rest. Her mother worries about Mimi's self consciousness because Mimi was once a confident, outgoing unique little girl, until she started elementary school. She began changing. She started lectura teenage love-sick novels about amor triangles between vampires, hombres lobo and mortals, listening to pop música from parte superior, arriba hit musicians that parents complain about and wonder if their child's taste in música has gone flat and buried. Mimi hated the música of today. She once had on her navidad lista if she could have every single album that The Doors, Joan Jett, o Stevie Nicks made, but instead she marked them out and wrote down for the entire series of Gilmore Girls and a new Miley Cyrus CD, that she won't watch o listen to and let them stay on her movie o música shelf. However, she does hide older CD's música from the 60's to the late 90's early 2000's in her newer música cases. Hiding comic libros in her amor sick novels. Her favorito! personal quote was "Love sick triángulo, triángulo de between a vampire, werewolf and some sad mortal chick? más like flu season sick at the thought of vampiros sparkling and mostrando positives emotions towards mortals!" People never got that joke, so she always kept it to herself.

Her great grandmother, Great Gram Josie was quite the adventurous soul. To tell how incredible she really truly was, think of a más realistic female version of the movie Big Fish. She was just like the main character in that movie, except with a más realistic view point. She had the most amazing life, but had a moment in her life. One moment that was a fearful, frightening moment. She had never told a single soul, but she was going to tell Mimi. "Mimi dear, did tu know I had a sister?" "Yeah, but didn't she die from drowning when tu were twelve?" "Yes, a very sad and tragic moment, but that wasn't all of it. A young nine año old girl killed her." "A nine año old? How could a nine año old drown a six año old?" "It was a crime not even Nancy Drew could crack the code to. And tu know about Nancy Drew, right? "Yes Great Gram. tu gave me all of your Nancy Drew books, remember?" "Yes, but this is not about that little scamp. This is about my lost, forgotten sister. tu see, I knew she wasn't missing. After that stupid little Anna drowned her,I wanted to envolver, abrigo my hands around her little neck and draw the life outta her. To this day, I still do, but she got her revenge cake alright!" Mimi was shocked. Her great gram dicho almost every curse word in the book, but she never dicho "stupid" "dumb" o anything like that. She never slipped the words out upon her tongue. She kept going,"My sister Faith was a precious young girl, so her death was so tragic, I could have sworn the Earth stood still for a minuto and the sun almost refused to shine, because our precious little Faith has left the Earth in spirit. But that little pathetic Anna, ooh, she got her revenge. An hora later, she struggled to keep swimming and dunked under water. Momma got so worried that she called the policemen. They only found Anna, and then Momma asked them to find Faith, but they couldn't. But I knew it was a lie. I knew what that little girl did to my sister. I tried telling my mother for years, but she would slap my face with her backhand and say,'Jo Ann Mildred Green, tu never talk about that day. That was all an accident and tu never speak of it. She maybe has another good family lookin' after her and I hope she does. I don't want my baby girl lost and alone and scared.' Momma hated thinkin' that her little baby girl was lost and alone. But she wasn't. It was a sad thought, but I knew Faith was in Heaven. I knew she was an ángel and she was in good hands. Sometimes, I still feel her nearby and with me." Mimi felt like crying after hearing that. She knew how much her Grandma missed her sister, but tragic things like that in life happen and no one may like it, but it still occurs.

When Mimi went inicial that night, her mom told her some good news,"Mimi, I know tu were worried about having a boring summer here at home, but Aunt Lilian is taking tu and your cousin Grace to Great Gram's old summer cabina at Lake Prudence." "Really? How long am I staying?" "Oh, I don't know. About three weeks. You'll come back in time to go to Florida with your friends." "Is that the same place where..." Mimi's voice trailed thinking about Great Gram's little sister. She wanted to ask her mom, but was too scared to bring up something she wasn't supposed to. "Where sweetheart? What happened there?" "Is that the same place where Great Gram spent when she was my age? I knew she did as a little girl, but I didn't know as a teenager." "Oh yes. Yes. She spent her time there before going off to New York. She really wanted to become famous." "Yeah, I know." Her mom left, as she went on her computer. Her friend Rae sent her an IM on Facebook. Rae asked,"Hey gurl! So, u up 4 Florida this summr? :D!" Mimi wrote back,"Yeah! It's still in July, rite?" "Yeah! Duh! XD! Remember, i have 2 go 2 sooooo many reunions this summer? LOL! *sigh* if only my family were enfriador, refrigerador like the family on Twilight. I wish my great grandma o even my grandma were like your great grandma. She's cool! How is she?" "Okay, I guess. Im goin 2 her old cabina and spending 3wks there, but im still goin' 2 florida w/ u guys." "Ooh, I bet it will b haunted! 0.o...XD!! LMAO!" "I dunno. i think that's the place where..." Mimi back spaced that message and wrote a new one. She couldn't bring herself up to talk about it. It was too much. She just wrote back,"Haha, very funny. I dont believe in that toro shiz. its stupid. the whole ghost supernatural thingy stories. 2 lame." "So, sammy and dean r lame?" "No! not that superntral. I meant real life stuff." "oh, okay. just as long as ur not messin' w/ my sammy and my deanie! back off woman! lol! :D! gotta go, rachael's @ my house and we're about to watch silence of the lambs. Nvr seen it, but want to! ttyl! :D!" "Bye!" Mimi logged off with anger. Rachael? she thought angrily. Rachael?! Rachael Grey? Ugh! I can't stand her! Rachael Grey was best friends with Rowena Powers, the most popular girl in high school. The whole reason why Mimi was going to amor the end of 12th grade siguiente año because she gets to leave her behind. Mimi hated the group she fell into. Her old friend Alex never talks to her anymore and Mimi still had that huge crush on him that's she always had on him, but she fell in with attention seekers and drama starters. Mimi knew she was a wannabe. She hated every minuto of it, but she can't get away from them. Rumors, black mail, hostile frienemy sleepovers, and school dances ending up becoming like a Mean Girls movie. Mimi wanted to go back to being the adorable nerdy girl who had the adorable bright red hair and cuteness. But now she was a hottie figure. She changed her style, got contacts and straightned her red hair, and now she's come to boys' attention. At first she loved it, and now she hated it because más girls have gotten jealous and mean to her calling her boyfriend stealer, slut, fake, and other worse things. Mimi just wanted to mature, go to college and make real friends with real people. She hated being a Lindsey Lohan barbie doll. She hated being called ,"The siguiente Lindsey Lohan" because of her red hair and beautiful looks and revealing clothes. She just wanted to be "Mimi Lowe, the cute smart nerdy girl who wants to be Alex Marks' girlfriend and a real girl." It was too late for now, since today was the last día was 11th grade and everyone's moved on.

On the weekend, Aunt Lilian came over and brought her young and only child/daughter Grace to Mimi's house. Mimi was already set to go, as she hugged and kissed her parents goodbye, told her little sister that she'll miss her and left. Lilian popped in a High School Musical/ Hannah Montana CD for Grace (she's only eight and loves Disney) while Mimi listened to No Doubt on her CD player. Listening to Gwen Stefani is way better listening than Zac Efron and Vannessa Hudgens canto about how cool school is, Mimi thought listening to Underneath it All. She was also psyched about the history she was going to see at the cabina and the stories and memories behind it to make it so cool. But Mimi also wanted to play Nancy Drew when she was there. She wanted to see if the story about Anna Hawkes drowning Faith Green was really as true as her broken hearted Great Gram dicho it was.
