Chapter 1: The new but old car 'Thinking' "Talking"

Brittany's POV:

I glance at the clock, '5 minutes till I'm out of this hell hole.' I look down and concentrate on my song lyrics for the time being. My attention was quickly drawn from my song when the teacher mentions my sister's name. "Okay, Lea Witwicky, you're up."

I watch my twin get up and walk to the front of the class. "For my genealogy report I decided to do it on my great, great grandfather, who was a famous man. Captain Archibald Witwicky, very famous. In fact, he was one of the first to explore the Arctic Circle. Which is a big deal. In 1897, he took 41 brave sailors straight into the Arctic shelf. So that's the story."

She takes the stuff from her bag out and places them on the table. "Here we have some of the basic interments and tools used by 19th century sailors. This is the quadrant, which helps them find the time. This is the sextant," The class giggles.

'Wow...' I thought, but Lea continued on as if nothing happened. "This helps them figure out where they are on a map. These are pretty are pretty cool, these are my grandfathers glasses; they've seen many cool things. Unfortunately, my grandfather, the genius that he was, ended up going blind and crazy, in a psychiatric ward. Drawing these strange symbols and babbling on about some giant ice man that he thought he discovered. But no one could prove what he said. My grandfather spent the rest of his life in the psychiatric ward until he died because of prostate cancer 6 years later."

She smiles at the class and sits down. "Good job," the teacher tells Lea. The bell rings. "Have a good weekend class."

I grab all my books and walk over to Lea, "Go wait with dad; I need to get my grade." "Aight," I leave the building and get into our family car. "Where's your sister?" Dad asks me, "Inside, gettin her grade."

The door opens, I watch my younger sisters climb into the vehicle. Sammy crawls into the middle and Elle sits in the seat beside the door. Fury walks around and sits on the other side. "So?" Sammy asks, "Lea's inside gettin her grade." She nods. A few minutes later the door beside me opens, "Scoot." Lea tells me. I move over into the middle seat. Lea sits down and buckles up.

I stare at Lea in anticipation. "A+" I smile, "We get a car now, right dad?" "Your good." He tells us. I let out a whoop as dad pulls out of the school parking lot. "No fair! Why do they get a car?" Sammy wines, "Because they are 18, when you turn 18 you can get your own car, okay?" Sammy just pouts. I smile, "Were gettin a car!" I yell.

A few minutes later we pull into a car dealership. "Dad! You said half-a-car, not half-a-piece-of-crap!" I yell at him while staring at the rust buckets they consider cars. Lea nods beside me. Dad just rolls his eyes.

We all wonder off looking at different cars while dad talks the manager. "Hey!" Sammy calls after a few minutes of looking. "Lea, Brittany, how about this one?"

We all walk over to Sammy. She was staring at a 1977 Chevrolet Camero. "Hey, this ain't bad." I say to myself running my hand over the hood. We were all checking out the car when Sammy giggles.

"What's so funny?" I ask. "Look," she says while pointing at something inside the car. Hanging from the mirror was an air freshener shaped as a bee, and on the bottom it says, 'Bee-otch.' I giggle along with Sammy.

"I'm going to call him Bee!" Sammy suddenly announced. I smirk, "Someone loves Brittany and Lea's car" Fury said in a sing song voice. Sammy blushes. I laugh along with Fury. "Leave her alone," Elle says to us in a stern voice. "Yes mom." I tell her. She glares at me and turns towards Lea.

Dad walks over with a man trailing behind him. "Found something?" Dad asks. "Yea, the Camero." I told him. "How much?" Dad asks the man who is obviously the manager.

"Well considering the semi-classic nature of the vehicle, with the slick wheels and the custom paint job, 5 grand!" "Well take is!" I said. We walk up to the front counter, Dad hands the manager 2 grand, then me and Lea pull out the other 3 grand leaving us with 1 grand.

I smile and grab the keys. Sammy pipes up, "I'm going with Lea and Brittany!" Dad nods and heads toward the car with Elle and Fury in tow. Let's go!" We run to the vehicle. I get into the driver's seat, Lea sits in the passenger seat and Sammy sits in the back.

"Everyone ready?" Both Lea and Sammy nod. I put the key in the ignition and we drive on out of the dealership.
