HI GUYS! I decided I would do a story finally. I have read every other single penderwick story and reviewed most of them too! Anyways I will take any suggestions. And bring on the flames!
Skye Penderwick P. O. V.
"Jane, will you please shut up?!" I said in frustration. Rosalind, Daddy, Jane, Iantha, Batty, Hound, Ben, and me were all sitting in our car driving to Point Mouette. Daddy and Ianthat in the front, Rosy and Jane in the middle, and me Ben and Batty in the back. Hound was in the Very back.
Any ways, Daddy had talked to Alec and he said that the cottage next to him was being sold, and Daddy had actually bought it! We now had a replacment for Cape Cod.
Jane looked at me then said, "Skye, oh how could my dearest sister act so horribly unkind to her favorite sibling?" She then acted like she was dramatically fainting.
I gave my best death glare at Jane. Jane had been working on her new Sabrina Star book, in which she would be rescuing the prince of India. She had been stupidly muttering about it the whole trip, and I felt as if I was about to strangle her.
"Jane, Shut up." I said again. Dady gave me a disapointed look then said, "Nullum bonum venit de tribulatióne." I had no idea what he ment.
I looked at Jane again. She was now scribbling in her blue notebook as fast as she could.
I looked at Batty and been, who seemed to be playing astronaughts. They had been fasinated with the game ever since they had gone to a science museum with Daddy and Iantha.
Then the switched games and started playing octopuses. Perhaps they had learned that from the museum too..?
I looked down at math book. Focus Skye, Focus. I thought to myself. 12x=6. Easy. .5 or 1/2. Next 9x=81. The answer would be nine. Okay, this is way too easy. I flipped a few chapters ahead to something I hadn't learnt about yet and started reading.
"How long untill we arrive Daddy?" Said Rosalind, who had currently been reading about Latin. She had been very excited because she had never been to Point Mouette before, and from what she heard, it was beautiful.
"Well, we take a left, a right, another left, go strait past three roads, another four rights and a left, then we turn into Point Mouette!" Replied Iantha.
Everyone looked up in confusion.
"What? She said. I was reading the directions off of my phone."
"I meant, how long as in time," Said Rosalind.
Iantha looked at her watch.
"About twenty minutes."
Everyone minus Jane cheered, she was still scribbling furiously in her book.
"SHUSH YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE MY CREATIVE JUICES SHRIVEL UP AND PERISH!" Everyone got quiet. She must have been very serious about her book.
So thats how the rest of the ride went. Batty and Ben switching games, Rosy reading, Jane furiously scribbling and muttering random words every few seconds, Daddy driving with Iantha giving directions. Then something happened that was completely unexpected.
Hound, who I had completely forgot about, jumped over the back seat and onto my lap, crushing my math book.
"HOUND GET OFF OF ME!"
Everyone minus Daddy and Jane looked back.
"Skye! I can practically feel my ideas evaporate out of me" said Jane.
Hound then started licking. A lot. He licked my face, My arms, the seat, my math book(come on!), hound licked everything he could get his tongue on.
I pushed Hound into the back seat.
I was soaked in dog drool.
"Ew, gross!" Of corse I practically had spit dripping off my arms and I smelled like dog breath.
I decided to close my book because the problems were to too easy. And of course it was covered in dog drool.
So instead, I thought about someone I hadn't talked to in a pretty long time.
Jeffrey.
My heart did a little fluttery thing inside me. I don't know why though. He was my friend. I had no feelings for him. I mean... Not in that way. I had talked to Rosy about this and she explained that it was up to me if I liked him or not. I had left her room that night undecided.
Now I thought about him. I thought about his lopsided smile, and his many freckles, and his beautiful green eyes...
Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. When did Jeffreys eyes turn beautiful? Perhaps I did like him.
I pushed away the thought and put other things into my mind. I thought how we probably wouldnt have enough room for everyone in the house. How we might be able to see moose. I remember how Jeffrey talked about getting married when we saw the moose together...
I mentally punished myself. There I go again. Jeffrey was not to be named. I moved on.
I thought about how we would get to stay the WHOLE three months there. A whole summer with Jeffrey...
Dangit! I bit my lip. Don't think about him, don't think about him...
I couldn't resist. He was so nice, and so... I couldn't believe I was about to say this, or even think it.
Jeffrey was cute.
That was so unlike me. But I couldn't resist. I thought it anyways.
Maybe I did like him.
"We're here!" Exclaimed Daddy.
I looked outside my window to see a smiling Jeffrey. He had finally gotten taller then me, and his hair stuck at odd angles. He still had many freckles. I looked into his pale green eyes...
He looked amazing.
Oh yes, I did like him.
And of course, I was covered in drool.
