CHAPTER 1

"Mom, where are we going?"
"To meet my fiance, where else?"
"What? When did you plan this?"
"Oh, I already told you yesterday. Remember?"
"No. I might've been practicing my drums."
"Come on, hun, it'll be fine! You'll meet some of Nick's relatives too. You'll meet the rest at the wedding."
"Which is...?"
"June 30th."
"Oh, right."
"Come on, let's get in the car."
Freddy went with his mom out the door and locked it. Freddy didn't say much during the ride. He was too busy thinking about his mom's fiance's family. What would they be like? He pictured Nick as tall with blonde hair and blue eyes, and his kids similar. He imagined a big house with a nice backyard.

As Marie Jones stopped the car, Freddy looked at the house in front of it. It wasn't a house, itwas a duplex, and it didn't have a front yard. Freddy opened the door and got out. He closed it and waited for Marie to lock the doors. He walked up to the front door of the right side of the duplex.
"Freddy! Wrong side!"Marie called. Freddy went to the other side, and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, the door opened, and there was Nick. He was tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. "Welcome! You must be Freddy,"Nick said.
Who else? Freddy thought. He nodded. "Yup."
"Hi honey,"Marie said to her fiance. Freddy walked past them as they kissed and took off his shoes. "Freddy, I should introduce you to some of my relatives,"Nick said.
"Come with me." Freddy followed him with Marie into the living room. It was the room with the big window in the front part of the house. It had white curtains, a wooden floor, a coffee table, and electric fire places, and white couches which the relatives were sitting on. "Guys, meet Marie's son Freddy. He's in grade 11,"Nick introduced.
"Hey, Freddy! I'm Rose, Nick's sister. This is my husband Andres Lopez. This is my son Michael, who's your age, and Maria, who's fifteen."
"Hi, nice to meet you,"Freddy said. He noticed Maria staring at him, which was odd.

"So, Freddy, why don't you sit down and tell us about yourself?"Nick suggested.
"Um, okay,"Freddy agreed. He sat down on an armchair and looked at everyone.
"Well...I'm in grade 11 at Horace Green secondary school...I'm in a rock band...which is pretty awesome. We have a lot of concerts. That's actually, about it."
The relatives looked back at him, not saying anything.
"Tell them about your rock band, Freddy,"Marie suggested.
"Okay,"Freddy said. "Well, I play the drums. I'm pretty good at them, too, been playing for almost my whole life."
"Whoa,"Michael said. "That's cool! You should play for us sometime."
"Maybe,"Freddy said, "or you could come to one of my concerts."
"Definitley,"Michael agreed. "Maria and I would like to see that. Would you, Maria?"
"What?"Maria asked, sounding dazed. Michael gave her a weird look. "Where have you been all this time?"He asked. "Oh, I was listening,"Maria answered all innocently.
"Riiight." Michael shrugged, then looked back at Freddy. "So continue,"he said.
"Anyway, I've been in that rock band since grade four-"
"Hold on! I think that's the same rock band Kate's been in!"
"Who?"Freddy asked.
"My cousin Kate,"Maria answered. "I swear she was a member of that band!"
"I don't remember any Kates,"Freddy said, "it was a long time ago, so I don't know-"
"And her boyfriend Zack was in it, too!"Maria interrupted.
"How do you know that?"Freddy asked, surprised.
"I told you, my cousin was in that band. And so was her boyfriend."
"Zack's still in it,"Freddy said, "my ex-girlfriend dropped out, because she went to a different school."
"That was Kate!"Maria said. "It WAS her!"
"Oh, you mean Katie?"Freddy asked. Maria nodded. "Oh, so you call her Katie,"she said. Freddy nodded. "Yeah,"he said. "Have you seen her recently?"
"Of course,"Maria said. She seemed to be out of her daze. "She comes here a lot! Maybe you'll see her."
"Oh..."Freddy said, "well..I dunno about that."
"But of course you will! She'll be here for the wedding, I'd imagine."
"Hey, listen-uh..maybe I WILL see Katie...but, you know what? I haven't seen her since grade 9, and we had a big fight, and we haven't spoken since. That's how we broke up.
I'm not sure if she wants to see me."Maria just laughed. "Come on, it'll be fine!"she said.
"No, I really don't think that's a good idea,"Freddy said back.
There was an akward silence after that.
"So,"Nick said, "I think dinner's ready! Follow me."

AN: pleease review! thanks!
