The Kirkland family was a weird one, to say the least. There was Alice Kirkland, wife to the deceased Captain Kirkland. She was a woman of her 50's, and liked discipline and order. She was a no nonsense type of mother, talented in embroidery, and horrifying at cooking.
Her first born child was a boy with the name of Angus Kirkland. He was skilled in the art of playing the bagpipes, but promptly led that skill to its death when kids would make fun of him for it. He then dyed his hair red and picked up smoking (and drinking) to fit in, and eventually dropped out of school. He (in some people's opinion) finally moved out from home, and is currently in Scotland. He is 21 and has the most exciting job of bartender.
Not only did she have 1 kid, Alice had 4 children after him. After Angus came Ronald, a boy who was wild and rambunctious. You could never keep him on track and, like Angus; he too drank and dyed his hair red at a young age. He could care less about anyone or anything, hence why he ran away from home at 16. He has been recently found in Ireland, with a family of his own and a job at the local pub.
The third oldest son was William. The quietest. He likes to keep to himself and did everything he was asked of. Nothing special about him, he now owns a respectable business in Wales, and rarely touches base with any of his family.
Next came Arthur, a boy of 16. The boy of which this story will be centered about. He was a boy who loved his mother dearly, so much so he did just about everything she did. He embroidered, picked up her cooking skill (which, if you can guess, is not all its cracked up to be), reads books, especially shakespeare like she does, and from time to time can be found trying to discipline his younger brother. He attends a prestigious private high school, and he pretends to hate talking to people, when in actuality he regrets it later, when the pressure of loneliness is on his shoulders. Also, he hates the French and Americans.
Peter Kirkland was the last child to be born, right before Captain Kirkland had past. He was an elementary school kid, and loved to annoy the living hell out of Arthur. He tends to call Arthur jerk, mainly because he is always called immature by Arthur.
Yes, the Kirkland family is a weird one, and they only get better, once the real story begins. When we all meet, Mr. Alfred F. Jones.
So I know its not the new one I said I'd have on here, but my at home laptop still has no net so this'll have to do. I'll get it up sometime I promise! 3
