Chapter 1.

Ruthie sighed. She was all alone in the house. Her parents were out doing what they do best: preaching and food shopping. Lucy and Kevin were up in their apartment with Savannah, and Martin? Where on earth was he? He should have been home hours ago.

Ruthie finished her homework and headed downstairs. She flipped on the T.V. and started watching Montel. She was so engrossed in the program that she didn't hear the door open or someone walk up behind the couch.

"Hey Ruthie I'm home."

"AGH!" Ruthie screamed and practically fell off the couch.

"Sorry. I thought you heard me come in." Martin sat beside her. Ruthie composed herself on the couch and turned off the T.V. "What were you watching?"

"Montel it was a really good episode." Ruthie suddenly got up and headed for the kitchen. "I'm starving, you want anything?" Martin got up and followed her to the kitchen.

"Yeah." He waited for her to take some things out of the fridge and then got what he wanted.

As they sat making their sandwiches they started talking about their day.

"My math test was a killer. I'm just glad that that's over." Martin said. Ruthie smiled.

"You know I could help you with your math. I might be two years younger then you but I do know a thing or two about school since I like skipped 3 grades." Martin looked at her surprised. He never new that about her.

"That's cool. I got a math project coming up onsomethingIcan't even pernounceand I could really use all the help I can get." Ruthie smiled. She liked the idea of helping Martin out.

"Sure I'll see what I can do."

"Ruthie! Martin where are you?" Annie Camden yelled from the entrance way. Ruthie took her plate and Martin's plate to the sink and rinsed them off.

"Well if you need me you know where to find me." Ruthie went into the parlor where her mom was talking to Sam and David.

"I'm going upstairs. I already finished my home work but I'm rather tired so I'm going to take a nap before dinner."
