Chapter 1

"So guys what are the plans for today?" I asked Chris and Teddy. As usual neither of them were listening to me, they were both concentrating to hard on their game of cards. "Well guys, I have to go, I'll see you guys later." I got up off the milk crate I'd been sitting on for the past hour watching Teddy and Chris play cards.

"Whoa, Gordo, where do you think you're going?" Chris yelled, not even looking up from his card hand. " What is so important that you have to leave?"

"Chris, I already told you, my cousin is coming up, and I have to go pick her up!" I yelled back, this time with a little tension in my voice. They always did this to me, I'd tell the guys something, and they'd forget it as soon as I finished.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Gordie, you never said that your cousin was a girl!" Teddy screamed throwing his cards down signaling the end of the game. "Well, is she hot?"

"Teddy that's disgusting she's my cousin!" I grabbed a pillow and threw it directly at Teddy hitting him in the face. "Look guys I really have to go, but if you want to meet her so bad, me us at the diner at say, 3 o'clock." I quickly climbed down from the tree house and made my way through Castle Rock to my house.
