The Dreams of the Flame
Chapter 1
The New Girl comes to Town
It was a cold foggy morning when Fred woke up. He looked at the clock to see how late it was. 7:15 A.M. This was early then normal seeing how he was on summer vacation, but, he need to get up early to met Bertha. Fred got up, got dressed and had his breakfast. Fred become depressed to see his mom on the couch passed-out (mostly from partying and drinking.)
"It's best to leave her there," Fred thought to himself, "I don't want what happened last time."
As Fred walked out his front door, he saw Bertha lying in the middle of the sidewalk.
"Bertha, why are lying on the sidewalk?"
"Is what I'm doing illegal?"
"No, not really. Well, I don't think it is."
"Well, Fred, my boy, don't worry about it."
Bertha got up and pushed herself off. She looked around like she heard something. A moving truck was pulling in into a house a few doors down. Both Fred and Bertha looked at each other. Before they could do anything they heard what sounded like a bike coming up from behind them. Before they could react, Kevin speeded passed them.
"Watch where you're going, moron!" Yelled Bertha
"Speak of yourself, loser!" Kevin yelled back
"Just ignore him, Bertha; we got better things to do." Calmly, but with a hint of annoyance said Fred
"Yeah sure, whatever" Said Bertha as she was looking at the moving truck
Fred and Bertha started walking but stop when they saw her. This arrogant 16-year-old girl with lime green eyes, an olive complexion, and curly pastel turquoise hair worn short come out of a car Fred and Bertha didn't notice. She is a little tall, quite muscular, and is an Iron Maiden shirt and slogan shirts. She was busy get her stuff and didn't notice Fred and Bertha coming up to her. When she finally did she seem to had a mini-heart attack.
"Please don't scare me like that. I didn't even hear you two coming up behind me!" She said as she put her hand on her chest
"Well, sorry, we didn't mean to. We just want to welcome you to the neighborhood!" Fred said apologetically
"Hey, it's okay," She said, "So, um, whats you guys' names?"
"Oh! My name is Bertha and the dork standing next to me is Fred"
"Well, my name Emmamarie Jones."
"Oh, um, that's a very interesting name," Relied Fred, "Anyway, Bertha and I are planning to going see a movie today, do you want to come?"
"Maybe some other time. I'm a little busy with unpacking and stuff like that." Said Emmamarie
"Okay, well, see you later."
Fred and Bertha started walking to the bus stop after they said goodbye to Emmamarie.
