Chapter 2:
Me and Michael ran back to Neverland. We always enjoyed playing SuperSoakers, we would play for hours on end. We got to the Neverland gates and Michael stopped at them and held onto the railings to catch his breath.
"I can't wait for this!" I smiled. I also stopped running and stood inayofuata to Michael.
"Neither can I!" Michael giggled, before letting go of the railing and smiling at me to give me the indication we could carry on running. We got to the house and rushed to Michael's room to grab the SuperSoakers. Michael grabbed his first and made a run for the sink to fill his gun up. I wasn't far behind and we both filled our guns up. Michael splashed my face there and then kwa the sink.
"Michael that's not fair! I wasn't ready yet!" I giggled, wiping the water from my face with my sleeve. Michael giggled playfully and we ran outside. I was the first to aim and fire, and hit Michael in the chest. He squealed in shock and attempted to moto back, but I dodged out the way and ran towards a statue that was outside. Michael saw me and ran after me. I hid behind the statue and Michael aimed and fired again. But because the statue was in the way, I wasn't hit and Michael ran towards the statue. I ran the opposite way and it took Michael a little while to realise I wasn't behind the statue any more, and he ran into the statue and nearly knocked it over. He then turned around and caught sight of me running and chased after me. He aimed again and hit my back.
"ARGHH!" I cried in shock. Then I stopped where I was and sat down. kwa this time we were just outside Michael's nyumbani and I sat on the steps. Michael caught up to me and sat inayofuata to me.
"You had fun Becky?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I did. So now what?" I asked with a smile. Michael looked ahead. He was thinking hard. Then he turned back to me.
"Not long til your birthday." Michael smiled, "Then you'll be 15. Third mwaka of being a teenager." He added. I looked at him.
"Sure will be. And your birthday is also near.." I started saying, "Then you'll be.." I continued, before Michael interrupted me, "I'll be another mwaka older, yes.." He said. I knew he had interrupted me so I wouldn't say his age but I did anyway.
"You'll be 31!" I giggled. Michael playfully slapped my arm.
"Yes thank wewe for clarifying that Becky.." He giggled and winked at me. He tucked his black curls back behind his ears and stood up.
"Let's go inside." He smiled. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up so I was standing too. We walked back inside the building.

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh au cry
I don't know whether to live au die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that upendo won't wait
Now I've learned that upendo needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my upendo for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh au cry
I don't know whether to live au die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that upendo won't wait
Now I've learned that upendo needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my upendo for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me
tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way
(Instrumental section)
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's moyo begins
to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Repeat Chorus (Ad-lib/fade-out)
