Okay, on with the story.
A black haired boy ran onto a playground and jumped on a swing. His little sister, also with black hair, ran past him again and again.
"Mamo! Natalie utrzymuje prowadzenie przed parą!" (Mom! Natalie keeps running in front of the swing!) The little boy yelled in Polish narowly missing his sister with his feet
"Patton!"
"Sorry, Natalie keeps running in front of the swing! I'm gonna hit her! I don't like speaking english!"
"Do you think I care if you like English or not? You're a Drilovsky you know how to speak both Polish and English and your dad wants you two to speak English better than you already do so shut up!" Bodanah sat down on a bench and pulled out a cell phone, she started texting away on it.
"But I was raised on Polish!"
"You were not! Your 6, going on 7 you haven't been raised yet."
"Come on Pat, English is awesome, some of the words are ridiculous and a lot more people can understand you." a tall black haired boy said walking over with a group of people and a tall black haired woman
"He ain't gonna listen to you Reid, he's stubborn just like his father. Bóg Casmir, nie można przekazać żadnych innych cech?" Bodanah said
Patton glared at his cousins then back at his mom "I don't like English, all the words are two hard to pronounce."
"That's why we talk like old west cowboys and don't give a crap how we pronounce it son." His cousin Duncan said while reading a book called The Secret School
Natalie giggled "Wild West Cowgirl!" she started running around as if she was on a horse "I wish daddy was here to give me horsy rides mommy." Natalie sniffed and looked at her mother, Bodanah sighed.
"He'll be home soon sweetie." Natalie's aunt Zophia said running her hand through the little girl's long black hair
"I doubt it." Patton said grumpily
"Oh come on now Patton, seriously. He promised he'd be home, why are you so mad at your dad?" Bo asked
Patton just scoffed "Two years ago he said he'd be home on Nat's birthday and he wasn't! My birthday is next week and he isn't going to be here."
A little girl with blonde hair so light it was almost white ran up, she was about the same age as Patton. She jumped on the swing next to him.
"Hi Patton. Hi everybody else."
"Hi Veronica." Patton said
A man in a US army uniform walked up to the playground."I'm looking for a Mrs. Bodanah Drilovsky?"
"I'm her but wouldn't be if I had any say in the matter."
He handed her a letter, Patton couldn't see what color it was but as soon as his mother saw is she screamed and fell to the ground crying.
"Mom?" he said quietly, his aunt came up and grabbed his shoulder while holding Natalie and carried them to the her car
"Casmir! No, he can't be dead! This is a mistake!" were the last words he heard before losing sight of the playground.
2 weeks later: Cleveland, Virginia
7 year old Patton Drilovsky was sitting on a swing on the playground in the town he had arrived in the day before. Cleveland, Virginia. He rested his head on the swing chain and sniffed, it was almost October and therefore chilly out but it didn't bother him. The young Polish boy had always liked being outside back in Poland, especially in the fall, or at night when his dad would wake him up and drag him out to the woods just so Cas could show him constellations-No Patton, don't think about that.
It hadn't been as bad as Patton had thought it would be when they got back to his grandparent's house. It was pretty big but not cause they were rich. The Drilovsky family only controlled Warsaw because they were thieves and everybody knew that, everyone also knew that if you were in good with the Drilovsky's you might as well be made of steel because no one with any common sense was gonna hurt you.
Patton had sat on the couch for an hour or so before his mother came in supported by her parents. She wasn't crying, she was mumbling about needing to set up everything, how Cas had wanted to move to America eventually and she was going to do just that. Patton's Aunt Zophia came and sat next to him "Patton, you remember when Dziadunio died?"
Patton thought back to his great-grandfather's death, the man had died "Yeah, that was sad. I miss him."
Zophia sighed "Me too Pat, Dziadunio was a good man. Do you remember that talk you had with your dad about death?
Patton shook his head, his dad hadn't ever talked to him about any such thing.
"Well, Casmir is dead Patton. The training facility got blown up."
Patton's jaw dropped, no way, no way was his father, Casmir Joshua Drilovsky dead, no freaking way!
"No! He isn't dead! He isn't! My daddy isn't dead!" Patton jumped up and ran to his room, Drilovsky House was so big that everyone had their own room, even if they didn't live there. Patton and Natalie usually were either alone or with their grandparents. Patton plopped onto his bed and even though he didn't do it and he knew his father wouldn't like him doing it, he cried.
"Ow!" A girl screamed waking Patton out of the flashback, he had kicked her in the side of the head while swinging.
"Oh my god I'm sorry!" he jumped off the swing and ran to her
"What's the big idea kicking someone in the head?" she had a weird accent
"Are you Irish?"
"Yes, what's wrong with it." she said before glaring at him, but her face dropped when she saw Patton, his to. His heart was beating faster than he though possible and he didn't know why. She had frizzy red hair pulled back into 2 pigtails. Her face was covered in freckles and she had deep midnight blue eyes. "Yo! Stupid! I said what's wrong with it?!"
Patton's jaw dropped, god this girl could be loud "Don't yell at me!"
"I'll yell at whoever I want! Why are all boys so stupid!" she screamed
"We're not all stupid!" Patton screamed back
"Yes you are!"
"No we're not!"
Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"I hate boys! You're all so stupid! You can't do anything right and your always expecting someone to just up and love ya!"
"Not all of us! I'm not like that! Now stop screaming at me ginger!"
"I'M A REDHEAD!"
Patton scoffed "Whatever."
The girl's face softened and she held out a hand "Fanny Fulbright
Patton had never heard a weirder name "Patton Drilovsky" he said shaking her hand
She sat on the swing next to the one he was on, he sat back down and watched her swing, how did she change her whole attitude so quickly? Hadn't she been ready to kill him and then she just shook his hand?
"Why are you so calm now?" Patton asked
"Cause you fought back, I don't like it when people are scared of me, which if you ask around they are. I like it when someone fights back."
This girl was officially the weirdest person Patton had ever met
"Are you going to Gallagher?" Fanny asked
"Yeah, mom says I'm gonna start Monday."
"Well, me and my best bud Rachel will show you around, you can meet some of the other people like, Bartie Stork and Nigel Uno, I hate this next one, Hoagie Gilligan Jr."
"Why do you hate him?"
"Well, I hate them all, but Hoagie is probably the worst because he...bites his nails a lot." she said the last part quietly
"Gross." Patton said
"You don't like nail biting either?"
"No, nails are disgusting!"
"Well, I've finally met someone else who thinks so. So why did you move here from..."
"Poland."
"Yeah, the accent sounded like it was Polish, why'd you move here?"
"My dad died a few weeks ago. He was in the military and he was gonna be coming home in a few days but the training facility that he was the drill sergeant of was bombed."
"That's terrible. I'm sorry."
"The good thing is he tried to save a 18 year old's life, this young kid was trying to be like his father and go into the military even though he didn't really want to and when the bomb hit he was injured and dad went to save him when a second bomb was dropped, he was trapped under a piece of the ceiling and suffocated."
"I don't know what it would be like to lose a parent but I know my uncle Noah died in the military when he was 23. My cousin Grayson died a few years ago but he got hit by a car."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I went...I've never told anyone but Rachel this...you'll be the first boy so you can't tell anyone cause this is the reason I hate boys."
"I'm not gonna tell anyone. Sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger."
"Yeah...A ball his sister Bridget threw went into the road and I went to get it but didn't see the car coming, he pushed me out of the way and he got hit."
Patton couldn't imagine how it would feel to be the cause of someone you loves death, he looked at Fanny and saw tears coming out of her dark blue eyes and running down her freckled face. He put his hand on her hand that was holding onto the swing.
She looked at him, blue eyes met black and they both started to lean in before "Fanny-pants!"
Patton looked toward the direction the voice had come from and saw a fat man in a dark blue suit a brown hair standing by a red car
"Fanny-pants?"
"My parents irritating nick-name for me. Hey Patton, where do you live anyway?"
"That new restaurant that just opened, Cas D's? That's my house above it and my mom owns the restaurant."
"Really? My dad said we're gonna eat there someday! I'll ask to see you!" She stood up and started toward the car, she turned around and pecked Patton on the cheek "Thanks for being nice, people normally aren't to me." she then ran off
Patton sat there with his hand on his cheek where she had kissed him.
Good, sad, horrid? I don't know so you tell me what you think, I know that Fanny is a little OOC but remember that comic Operation FORGET? It said that whatever happened to make her hate boy happened while she was in the KND. I make it two things added together make boy-hater Fanny so this is I-can't-stand-boys-Fanny.
Review! Or i'll send Fanny to your house
Fanny:Welcome to the worst day of your lives!
