(My POV)
A girl about the age of 14 walks down the street she had long, dark, wavy, chestnut brown locks, which was pulled into a ponytail and covered on top with a black baseball cap. Her fair skin was lightly tanned; her slim slender body clothed in jeans w/ rips in them (in the knees mostly), an aquamarine tank top and black sneakers. She held a baseball mitt and baseball casually playing catch with herself; eyes peering at her surroundings she starts to walk farther down the block when…
Eleanora!
When my mom interrupts me in my train of thought uhh…
Yeah mom! I said annoyed
Emerging my wonderful mother comes out on the sidewalk gaze down at me from our front yard with a smile: come here darling I want you to help me with unpacking…
But mom I was going to-
Don't argue Eleanora…my mom stated sternly
Fine…
We both walk toward our new home it wasn't bad actually it was quite nice it was a brick house with a balcony, patio, front porch and a deck in the back yard…
Mom: listen honey I know it was hard leaving all your friends behind but you can make new friends here and you can think of this a…a fresh start…were all a family now you me and your father…
Where is Dave anyways isn't he suppose to help us with unpacking?
Mom: he just finished bringing everything into the house now…but he has a lot of stuff to catch up on he said he needed to get back to work…he got a call from his commander and he needed to work on this strategy they invented you know them always trying to work out the kinks and make their army the best it can be…
Yeah I know mom…I'm going to start putting my stuff in my room k…
Mom: ok darling…and Ellie…
Ellie started for the front door then stopped turning to face her mother…
Mom: I know its hard but have you considered calling Dave…you know dad…I don't want to pressure you I just thought maybe we'd be closer if…you know you did…
Um…I'll put some thought into k mom…(then turned around and entered the front door disappearing into the house and pushing the dad thought completely out of her mind…)
2 hours later
I flopped onto my bed FINALLY I was finished I let out a sigh then stood back up and walked over to the doors of the balcony, opening them I was immersed with the night sky what looked like hundreds of stars all twinkling in the dark sky…I rested my elbows on the railing of the balcony and let out another sigh…This was going to be a long summer and I had so much to do…but first I needed to start by making some new friends…god how I missed my friends back in Nebraska…Rachel, Amber, Rayline…man I wish you guys were here…I sighed again and closed my eyes breathing in the fresh air trying to clear my head…
Eleanora!Uhh mom not again…I walked back into my room…closing the balcony doors behind me…
Yeah mom!Ellie would you come down here for a sec.!
Sighing once more… Yeah moms…just give me a second k…!
K!
I walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen…there I found my mother seated conversing in a casual conversation with a pretty, Latino woman…
Mom: Ahh there you are…Ellie this is Sandra Rodriguez she our neighbor she from down the street…She tells me wondrous things about that gem of a boy son of hers…
Ellie said politely: it's nice to meet you Mrs. Rodriguez
Oh please call me Sandra Mrs. Rodriguez makes me sound way to old…
Ellie smile: well Sandra its nice meeting you…
Why your just darling such a polite young lady…
Mom was beaming and said: well yes that's how I brought her up to be…(my jaw set because she was only half right…it was my father that did most of the influence…) anyways Sandra was telling me about her boy Benny he's around your age I think a year older am I right Sandra (whom nodded) yes well I brought up the subject of you having to make new friends and Sandra here graciously offered to have Benny show you around and introduce you to some of his friends…
Ellie whom at this point had her jaw clenched so hard and was trying so hard with all her might not to set her mom with her infamous death glare because her mother knew quite well that Ellie didn't like people prying into her business…and I knew there was no way out of this then I said: that's great mom but Sandra you really don't have to ask him I'm sure I'd be just a bother to him I really don't want to interfere with his plans…
Sandra: Nonsense if I know Benny I know his plans will just consist of playing baseball at the sandlot with his friends…like he does everyday so it really would not be an interference…
Ellie: ok (fake smile) great…I can't wait…
Sandra: Wondrous… well I must be on my way I have dinner in the oven and I know Benny will be coming home any minute…so I cant miss my chance to get him to set the table…and thank you for the tea Rose it was simply delicious…(then she turned to Ellie before leaving) I'll send Benny over at about 2o'clock is that ok with you…
Ellie: yes fine (fake smile)
After she existed Ellie threw her mother a death glare and said: I'm going to bed goodnight…
She went upstairs to her room, took a shower, changed into her pj's, brushed hair pulling it into a ponytail, then brushed her teeth, and finally climbed into bed…and falling asleep…
She slept waiting for the next day to come knowing it could end up I one of two ways…
1.really good
2.horrible
So how'd u like it? Pleaz tell! I'll try to get the next chappy up as soon as possible….k!
