Love and Trying Times

I do NOT own Kit or any American Girl Characters form the book I only own Charlie's girl friend. Hope you enjoy!

It was a bright sunny day in 1934 and a girl in a pale blue dress happily skipped up the steps to a house that belonged - to the Kittredge family. The girls name was Kit. "Kit can you help

me with dinner?" "Yes mother" Help with dinner? I would gladly do anything then help with dinner but it seemed like my mother needed help. "Mother why are we using the nice table

cloth and china? Are we having a visitor?" We never really had many visitors except for my uncle, which I would rather not talk about. Then I heard a masculine voice come from a room

and ask "Hey mom does this shirt look ok?" and my older brother Charlie came out into the kitchen with a very nice mint green shirt. Wait did I just say that my brother looked very nice?

Ew. "It looks fine sweetie." "Ok thanks mom" and Charlie went back into his room. "So mother you never answered my question, are we having a visitor?If we are they must be important

to make Charlie get dressed up." " Yes Kit we are having a visitor." " Really who is it? Is it someone famous?" "It is Charlie's friend from school." I was disappointed. We were having

another one of Charlie's friends from school over to dinner. How exciting! We are always having these guys over who will just stuff their faces, chew with their mouth open, act like pigs

and then leave. The male species was a never ending- disappointment. " I am going to be in my room if you need me." I was not at all interested on who was coming. I mean maybe they

will forget to call me for dinner and I won't have to meet this "friend" at all! Hooray!! "Kit.. Kit.. Hello??" "Oh yeah sorry I was thinking" ( and probably a little red from the embarrassment)

I turned to leave but my mother said " Kit you should stay down here. The guest will be here any moment." " But that would be wasting time what if they didn't come at all and I would

be sitting down her for the rest of my life and grow an old women.." Then Charlie came out of his room, finally! I swear he takes more time getting dressed for one guest, than I take

getting dressed in a month. " Don't worry Kit she will be here in a couple minutes. She's is never late." " Ok I mumbled walking toward the parlor" Wait SHE??? Did Charlie just say SHE???

It finally hit me. Charlie has a girlfriend! I ran back to the kitchen to make sure I wasn't going crazy. " Wait Charlie did you say SHE? Inferring that you are having a girl over for dinner?"

"Yes Kit I did say she." Then I ran around the house chanting "CHARLIE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!" "What is all this commotion" My dad asked as he walked down the stairs " Charlie is having

his girlfriend over for dinner and now I have something to add to my newspaper" I took out my notebook and started to write:

Charlie has his new girlfriend over for dinner. We will have to see how this goes.

" I knew that he was having a girl over, but he did not tell he that she is his girlfriend." my dad added. "Dad...Kit.. wait. She is not my girlfriend. She is just a friend from school. Ok thats it

no more no less" He did seem kinda upset. " But you do like her right?" I asked ( I had to this question was itching me. I am a reporter after all) " She is just a friend Kit" as he walked

away I took out my notebook and wrote:

Charlie has his new friend over for dinner. Charlie reports that they are just "friends" (for the moment)

As I was writing this down the door opened and I saw a girl walk in and she looked absolutely -beautiful. Ruthie would call her movie star material. I could barley move at all. All I could do

was watch her and Charlie hug, then Charlie introduced her to the family. Wait I am the family! I looked up and saw the girl in front of me and she said "Hello my name is..."
