"Emily, are you packed?" My dad yells from the other room.
"Almost where is my phone?" I ask him. There is a moment of silence before he answers.
"On the couch,on the charger where you left it." He says. Oh yeah totally forgot about that. Opps
I go into the other room and grab it. Dad walks into the room and I see that his hair is still messed up and he has pink lips. That was from the girl he did last night.
"Do I still have some lipstick on my lips?'' He asks. I nod and he wipes it of with his hand. He fixes his hair and walks to the kitchen. He tells me to get my suitcase and put it in the car.I do and they we drive to the church.
My name is Emily Higgins, Daughter of Marcus Higgins. I am 13 years old. Right now we are going to my dad's Coached Funeral over in New England. My dad told me the story of him and 4 other guys winning the 1978 basketball championship. There names are Lenny Feder, Eric Lamonsoff, Kurt McKenzie, and Rob Hilliard. When my dad told me some of the stuff they used to do as kids, My first thought was 'How are they still alive or not in Jail?'
"Emily we're here."Dad says. When I look at him he is already out of the car and by the time I get out I hear a phone going off and the song is a rap song.
"I thought I told you no cell phones?!" The dad asks.
"But Its My Massage Therapist." Who needs a massage therapist at his age?
My dad decides to cut in. "What No cell phones i'm out of here." They turn around and the man that was just talking yelled out "Higgy!"
"Who's ready to get there funeral on?" He asks dancing. "I'm sorry death makes me weird." 2 girls a little younger than me walk up to me.
"I'm Charlotte, are you staying at the Lake House?" She Looks at me and I nod. Charlotte pulls me over to her mom. "Mom this is my friend.. Whats your name?" She says after she realized I never told her my name.
"I'm Emily Higgins Its nice to meet you Mrs. McKenzie." I say. She look at me with surprise.
"Call Me Deanne." I nod and she smiles. Charlotte and I talk for a while before she stops and then tells me. "Oh Greg is staring at you." I go to look and he is. I look back at Charlotte and she sees that I am blushing. But before she can say anything we have into the church. I sit by my dad, and the pastor says that Buzzer wanted Mr. Feder to say a speech. Once he is done Rob starts singing Ave Maria. He starts singing to the poster and when he gets down on one knee. Kurt hands Lenny $5. When he finishes Dad makes a buzzer noise and everyone laughs.
Rob looks up and yells at him. "Oh Grow up will you?" That makes people even more.
When we get outside Greg and Keith are playing on their tablets. Charlotte and Donna ask me I If want Cake. I nod and we walk to the table. While Walking Donna and I walk by the Gazebo. Her mom asks her to use a fork and she smashes her hand into the cake yelling 'No'. By the forth no, she throws the cake on the ground. She storms off and I go back to the table. Greg and Keithie have their tablet on table. Charlotte sits down and I sit next to her. Greg looks at me and says. "Hey Babe." To which call him "Ass." And everyone laughs but Greg. He just glared at me.
We drive to the Lake house and once we are there the bug zapper goes off I jump into someones arms. Who? Greg. By instinct he puts his arm around me. Dad coughs and We break apart. "Daddy,Whats that machine doing?" Becky asks. "Uhh it making them go to sleep." "But Daddy, There dieing." "Its Killing them?" "No."
Mr Feder gets fed up with Becky yelling and he goes ad unplugs it. He picks out one of the moths and throws it. "See its still sleeping." "Its Dead Dad." Greg says. Mrs. Feder pinches his arm and he yells ow. Mama pushes Keithie down and steps on the moth because of a porch swing.
"Welcome Back to 1978 everybody." Rob says. Everyone splits up and looks around the main room. Rob gives us a tour and The first room is the master bedroom. Which Mr Feder gave to the kids.
"Hey dad what's this big box on the side of the T.V.?" Greg asks.
"Thats the rest of the T.V, Not everyone has a flat screen." Mr. Feder says. Wow that is some stone age shiznet."Keithie says. "Yeah thats Whack."
This will be a long weekend with these kids.
