Preteens With Attitude: Winter Break

by twinsister27

On the kid's winter break, Ethan finds some things in the attic he doesn't recognize and decides to show Alex and the others to try to figure out what they are. They aren't sure, but they think they've seen similar objects at their own houses.

Chapter 1: December 22

"Do you have any plans with your friends for the winter break?" Kira Ford asked her sons. "I dunno. Why?" Alex answered. "Your father and I invited some of our old friends from high school out for dinner and to get together on Christmas Day and open presents," Kira informed him. "Okay," Alex said as Ethan came running in.

"Alex! Come up to the attic! I found some new decorations I've never seen before!" Ethan said enthusiastically. "You've probably seen them before," Alex said as he headed up to the attic with his brother.

"Here they are," he showed Alex two rocks-they weren't coal. One of them was yellow and the other was white. "They look like some kind of crystal," Alex complimented. "Can we ask Mom what they are?" Ethan asked.

"I got an idea. Let's keep these rocks a secret from Mom and Dad, and show Becca and the others! Maybe they'll figure out what it is!" Alex said. Ethan seemed content with this. They put the rocks in a corner of the attic and then went back downstairs.
