ΞΞΞ Lea Hunt ΞΞΞ Book Status Update ΞΞΞ

You are waiting in a conference room for a certain someone to arrive. You tap your fingers on the long table as the double wide doors slide open and closed. From the doors steps a girl at the age of twelve. Her black-brown hair in a loosely done braid to the side and thin glasses at the tip of her nose. She skips to the table and pushes her glasses up further so they do not fall off.

"Hey, kid, look. This is a meeting for us older people. I don't think your allowed to be in here." You say to the girl as she sits down at a chair across from you.

"Oh! Who is the meeting with? I'm supposed to meet with a few people myself but I might have gotten the room numbers mixed up." She says with curiosity twinkling in her eyes.

"I'm here with a meeting with the author of this book." You say as you pull out a thin paperback book and slide it to her.

"Oh, guess I'm in the right room after all!" She replies, thumbing through the book.

"You are?" You say. She nods.

'Maybe I got the number of the room mixed up' you think to yourself as you stand up to leave.

"Wait! The meeting hasn't even started yet and your leaving?" She asks.

You take a glance at your watch. "Look, kid, I'm sorry but it's almost time for my meeting to start, and I think you might be a little young to be part of it. I'm waiting for the writer of the book you got there and she hasn't arrived yet."

"No, the writer is here!" She says cheerfully.

"Do you know where she is? And for that matter, who she is?" You question. You don't know that much about the writer but that she is supposed to be here.

"Yup! The writer has a cheeky smile and two thumbs, This Guy!" She announces while pointing both of her thumbs at herself.

You sigh. "Look, I really need to find the writer of that book and I don't have time for games, so I gotta go." You finish turning away from her and to the door, only to find her in front of you. You jump back in surprise.

"I'm sorry, let me reintroduce myself, I'm Lea, Lea Hunt, and I write this book. Now that it's officially," She glances at the clock "1:53, let the meeting begin!"

------------------

You sit at one end of the table and her at the other. You stare at her twirling around in the leather spinning chair, so absorbed in her joy that she completely forgot you were there.

She gets out of her spinning trance and looks at you. "Sorry, sometimes I get a little carried away with things. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that this book will be undergoing edits, so if you see it continuesly saying, New New New! Go ahead and ignore it. Hope you liked this chapter!!!! Goodbye!" She says and disappears in a cloud of mist and golden light.

You look around for her and wonder, 'where did she go?' And you hear a voice over the wind.

A author never reveals her secrets.
