"I can't believe it!" Claire Block shrieked as soon as she set foot into the Block's new residential housing development in Westchester NY. The place was more like its own little town away from everyone that lived outside the development, it had a school which held students grades K-12, there was a place called Town Center where residents can go to the movie's, shop, hang out in the arcade, dine in a few restaurants, or relax at the huge fountain in the middle of it all. "Why did we have to move anyway?"
Massie Block turned to her sister, "I'm not sure," Claire shuddered, Massie was always in the know and not knowing why they moved kinda scared Claire a little.
"C'mon girls," William Block said putting his arm around his daughter's shoulders, "why don't you head over to Town Center and check it out."
"Ugh fine I see how it is, you let them go but you don't let me!" Jake groaned. Jake Block was Massie and Claire's 16-year-old brother.
"Ok well you want to go." William asked while Jake nodded, "ok then stay with your sisters."
"Fine," Jake said while the girls smiled, they all got a long really well and Jake was always making them laugh so the change of plans was perfect for them.
"Have fun unpacking Dad!" Claire said over her shoulder while running in the direction of the garage so they could get in Jake's convertible.
"So what'cha wanna do." Jake asked as Massie flipped through the packet on Town Center, that the development gave them.
"Okay there's a movie theater, a bunch of different shops, several restaurants, an arcade, and a big fountain." Claire said reading over Massie's shoulder.
"Lets go over to the fountain and see where that takes us." Jake said as he pulled into a parking spot.
"Why the fountain?" Massie asked.
"'Cause this spot is right across the street from it." Jake said in an obvious tone.
It had just poured out side so as the trio made their way to the fountain, Jake pushed Massie into a HUGE puddle, but Massie brought him down with her. By this point everyone including Claire was doubled over in laughter and Jake decided that he shouldn't hold out on his sister so he pulled her down in the puddle so she could join them.
"Water Fight!" Massie claimed as she splashed the now soaked Claire.
"I'll get you for that!" Claire said as she chased Massie in the direction of the fountain.
"Hey guys slow down!" Jake shouted as he was getting up from the ground.
"No you speed up!" Massie fired back.
Massie took in her surrounds as Claire plopped down on the fountain. (A/N: the fountain is like four feet high and flat and all so you are able to sit on it.) There were about eight kids sitting over by the center of the fountain who looked about 14 years old. Massie assumed they were the A-list of her new school Briarwood-Octavian Country High.
"Thanks for waiting." Jake said sitting down next to Claire.
"Took you long enough." Claire said at the same time Massie said "your welcome." The two giggled when they realized they were talking at the same time and Jake rolled his eyes, cupped his hands, and reached down for water from the fountain so he could pour it on them.
"Ugh Jake!" Claire said standing up immediately upon realizing what he was about to do leaving Massie to fend for herself, "your lucky I caught that or else."
"Or else what?" Jake asked opening his hands to let the water drench Massie.
"Or else this." Claire said pushing Jake back so he fell in the fountain.
Massie held out her hand, pulling Jake up while Jake just stuck his tongue out at Claire. The whole seen must have caught the A-list kid's attention cause before anyone could notice the eight were suddenly hovering over the Block siblings.
"Can I help you?" Jake said as he lifts his head to see who was blocking the sun.
"Are you new here?" A red head asked.
"What are you the welcome committee?" Claire asked.
"Ugh no." The red head answered.
"Good cause I was seriously debating whether you should be fired or not." Massie shot at the group while Claire and Jake just chuckled.
"We just wanted to know what was up. Its not everyday someone gets pushed in the fountain or has a water fight in a puddle." A cute blonde guy told the group.
"Well then sorry for the change of plans." Claire said.
"You still haven't answered our question." A boy with one blue and one green eye pointed out.
"How about we make a deal," Jake said looking back at his sisters who nodded. "You tell us who you are and debate whether or not to introduce ourselves."
"Uh ok, I'm Derrick Harrington," the cute blonde said, "that's Cam Fisher," Derrick said pointing at the guy with the two colored eyes, "Josh Hotz," he said pointing at the Spanish guy, "that's Plovert, and that's Kemp Hurley." (A/N: I forgot how Plovert and Kemp look so now they have no description.)
"I'm Dylan Marvil," the red head stated, "That's Alicia Rivera," Dylan said pointing at the Spanish girl next to her, "and that's Kristen Gregory," she said pointing to the blonde.
"Cool," Jake said while Claire's phone buzzed labeling she had a new text.
Claire laughed and handed her phone to Jake.
Dad: Hey guys just wanted to know how everything is going.
Jake looked back to the A-list who now had confused faces, "one sec please."
They nodded and Jake dialed William's phone number.
"Hey dad!" The Block siblings said in unison cause Jake put the call on speaker.
"What's up guys?"
"Ooh nothing, we are just planning on cutting the brakes on some guys car." Jake answered casually.
"Hmmm sounds like fun." William answered with the same amount of casualty as Jake had.
"Yeah we are thinking about calling Uncle Tony to ask for some advice on the subject."
"What a great idea Jake, ok you guys play nice. Bye." William said before hanging up.
"What was that about?" Derrick asked.
"Oh nothing, our dad is always checking up on us thinking we are about to rob a bank or something so we just make up some story on how we are about to do something to get us on the next bus to juvi." Claire answered.
"Ooh." Derrick said nodding his head.
"Oh right now its time for our part of the deal." Jake said.
"Yepp." Cam answered.
Claire whispered something to Jake and he nodded and ran off to get the car. The group watched him run off and looked back at Claire with even more of a confused face. Claire took off running as she saw Jake pull up in the convertible and Massie just shrugged and followed Claire's lead leaving the A-list in total shock/confusion.
Ok end of Chapter.
Hope you liked it the whole School/Housing Development inspiration struck while I passed one on the way to the mall & the town center was just a some-what description of one of my favorite hangouts but instead of being called Town Center its Main Street but too bad I changed it.
Should I continue or not cause this is my pilot and I'm depending on your feedback to motivate me to continue or not.
Okay well review please!
Katie
