I do not own
I woke like any usual day; I slowly walked down stairs to kitchen. The head chef Serena placed a platter of pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and a small portion of grits. To swallow it down with, I had no pulp orange juice.
"Morning princess." I smirked at the name "You have been calling me that since I was little. You never use my first name." I say going through our routine conversation. She kissed the top of my forehead, while putting two plates on either side of me. One of with breakfast with meat, and a different one a vegan one.
I'm not a normal girl, I live with Damien Thorn who controls Thorn industries, and is thinking of running for UK office. I only live with him during the school year; once it's over, I fly back to the US of A to live with Isaac though everyone calls him Eli. He does controversial films, not shocking he's the vegetarian. Eli is only here for today he needed a cast member, I love meeting them.
"Good morning Emerald ready for school? Think you'll pass your math teat?" Damien asks while sitting down, and biting into a piece of bacon.
I look at him "My name is Gypsy." I say though I know conversation won't get anywhere.
"Gypsy is not an appropriate name, besides Esmeralda, your middle name is just as beautiful." He says in an affirmative tone.
"I like it, it's free." I say eating some eggs. I heard shuffling and something heavy drop.
Eli sat down greeting us, it was a normal breakfast.
My mom suddenly showed up, she was humming a lullaby she would sing to me when I was little. She turned around and jumped when she had seen us, putting her hand over her heart. "Sorry I was lost in my own world." She smiled at me, though the love did not meet her eyes. It's because of her sickness, that's all.
"Morning mom, I hope you slept well." She nodded her head, a little to slow.
"I did, should you not be getting ready for school. That project you have to finish."
I jumped up "Your right, can you drive me?" I asked desperation in my voice.
Her sickness started to show again, she started stuttering and shaking at first slow but then it got faster.
"Gypsy, I'm sure your mother would love to, but as you can see she is just not up for driving." Damien said
I nodded my head, getting up and getting my stuff .while wiping my eyes.
I smiled as I finally got to school Sebastian was there. I think he's cute. He's tall, has long hair that can be tied into a braid, and his eyes are blue.
Damien said bye, I think not sure. I ran no jumped out the car saying bye to him.
I walked up the stairs "Hey Sebastian, did you finish the homework for Mrs. Prange?"
He shook his head "I could not answer questions two and three on page thirteen.
I took out my homework , giving it to him "Here, Nathan helped me with it."He smiled thanks and started copying it.
I had a boring day of school, though it was a weird time at near the end. I was stopping a known mean girl of scaring an American girl. She smiled at me "Thank you." I heard Amber's friend say "You know she's the queen."
I gave them a look, so conceited but ignored it as I helped her up. "I'm Gypsy, your name?" I say picking up her things.
She thanks me "My name is Kaitlin, I'm new here." She says with a smile on her face.
"I know, you're the one other American here." I say smiling
She looked at me with curiosity in her eyes "Who's the other."
"Me!" I say smiling at her, while jumping at her, which I think spooked her.
"Your American?! I couldn't tell, your accent is just like theirs." She says looking at me strange.
"I know, I have been going to schools here, since I entered second grade. I learned it so no one could bully me."
"That's smart, doesn't it carry with you when you go back home?" She asked as we walked towards her locker.
"It does, but I only stay for the summer, so it's not like I have actual friends back in the states." I admitted with a sad tone, thinking of all my fast friends
"Well I could really use some friends, without a British accent." She admitted with a smile as she closed her locker, her bag in her hand.
I smiled "Awesome, let's go to my locker so I can get my stuff and write down my stuff for you." She nodded her head, they were now heading for her locker, and Sebastian was leaning on it.
I smiled at him "Hey, Sebastian how was class?" He nodded his head
"I was the only one who got it right, thanks." He gave me my homework back as I opened my locker. I noticed Kaitlin was trying to hide behind me, which was strange since I was even smaller than her. "Don't be shy." I say looking at her, but she just looked to the ground.
I looked to Sebastian; he got my signal and took out his hand "Sebastian." She took his hand "Kaitlin." I smiled "Awesome were now friends."
We walked to the doors; I was shocked that Uncle Nathan was there to pick me up. Damien must have a board meeting. I looked to Sebastian "Video game night?"
He looked at me "Sure, not sure I can sleep over though." I nodded my head "Cool."
She grabbed me by the side "Why are you going in a limo?" She didn't whisper it silently enough so Sebastian answered.
"She lives with Damien Thorn, head of Thorn industries. Her family is close to him so they live in the house." He said looking to the limo.
"Wow, I didn't know you were rich." She said he was suddenly going back into her shell.
"No I am not, he is. My family was just coming here and he offered a place to stay until we could find our own place since they are good friends. We just ended up staying in the house. He admitted he likes it since the house would be less vacant." I said grabbing onto her arm, hoping she would understand
"We did the same with my uncle, before we moved here." She aid knowing where I was coming from.
I smiled; I heard the horn honking which made me stop smiling as the driver got out the car. "Miss Emerald, we must hurry to beat the traffic!" I sighed turning to him "Alright Shane." I drawl out the A, I hugged her bye and left, Sebastian already in the car.
I wave bye as we drove off, Nathan smiled as he drank his coffee. "Did you make a new friend Gypsy?" I nodded my head "Yep think were going to be great friends and I can have some girl time."
Sebastian looked at me "You invited me to play video games." I shrug my shoulders "It` not like I could have invited her over just like that." I say with a snap.
Sebastian looked at me "You invited me to play video games." I shrug my shoulders "It`s not like I could have invited her over just like that." I say with a snap
Nathan looked at me interested "Your new friend is a girl?"
I nodded my head "Yep, cant` wait to have girly sleep over's and talk about boys." I say with a smile on my face. They both seem a little uncomfortable, but then again their guys.
I looked out the window, as we passed through town. "Mom is getting better." I knowingly avoid their looks.
"That's good angel." Nathan said sipping his coffee. I nod my head, I touch the necklace my father put on me when I was little. I wish he was here, though he passed away when I was six.
"Shane, we need to stop at a game shop." I say pulling down the middle window. "Aren't you a little old for dolls, miss?" I laugh sarcastically "You know they have a new dress for peppermint patty. I just have to get!" I say with desperation in my voice.
He laughs "Alright I am heading to the shop." I smile and sit between Sebastian and Nathan.
"So what games shall you two waste your brains on?" Nathan asked as Shane pulled to the side of the curb. No press was here, which was great since, they loved to take pictures of me.
"A true classic a game of Cow and Chicken from the show cartoon network, along with Goo Zombies two." I say bouncing up and down as we enter the shop.
I smile at the owner and search for the games, while Sebastian got sodas, it may be Tuesday but we are acting like its Friday. Nathan was leaning on a wall, finishing up his coffee "Nathan they got Mario classic!" I say holding it up for him to see "Get it, and I'll play with you." I nodded my head adding it to the others. I put them on the counter with the sodas; Nathan gave me the credit card since someone called him.
I smiled as the owner put them in a bag "Back in thirty days." I nodded my head as we left the shop. A flash blinded me and soon others did. I just heard shouting, and the clicking of pictures being taken. Sebastian pushed me through the crowd, and I felt Nathan's hand guiding me.
I soon heard gunshots and some one yelling while saying the word "God!" Sebastian pushed me into the car. Shane stepped on the gas, "What the hell happened!?" I asked freaking out.
Nathan opened a soda, telling me to drink it slowly. I did but I wanted answers. I repeated my question through sips. "I'm not sure, I need to tell your mothers and Damien that you're all right."
I nodded my head, Sebastian was holding my shoulders.
