Ok, here's my next story! Enjoy! :)
"Alvin, how many times do I have to tell you? There's no such thing as luck!" Simon exclaimed, annoyed by his brother. " I'm telling you! Get this four-leafed clover, and you'll have good luck! Really!" Alvin exclaimed, shoving the clover in Simon's face. "NO I WON'T!" Simon sighed, " Just face it Alvin. I'll never get Jeanette to love me." Simon said sadly. " You'll never get her to love you? Simon, she already does! All you have to do is get this clover to have good luck, and be able to say the right words to her." Alvin explained. " I already told you, there's no such thing as..." Simon was interrupted. " Or this lucky rabbit's foot! It really works!" Alvin exclaimed. Simon groaned as he ignored Alvin and walked towards his home.
There was a ladder in front of the door, and Simon was about to walk under it when Alvin yelled, " No don't! Don't you know that it's bad luck to walk under a ladder?!" " Alvin, there's no such thing as bad luck either," Simon said as he kept walking. " Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you," Alvin said as he watched Simon go under the ladder. As if in cue, a soccer ball from the new neighbor's yard came flying towards Simon. " Simon, look out!" Alvin yelled as the ball knocked the ladder on top of Simon. Simon groaned as he looked up and saw Alvin and his new neighbor, Carlos looking at him. " See? I told you, bad luck," Alvin said mockingly. " Sorry man, I think I kicked the ball a bit too hard, no?" Carlos said as he looked down at Simon.
"Yes, I think you did," Simon replied plainly as he laid his head down. Carlos laughed. " Me llamo, Carlos Zuniga. I just moved in yesterday to that house next door," Carlos said as he extended his hand out to help Simon. Simon got his hand and pulled himself up from under the ladder. " I'm Simon and he's Alvin", Simon said as he pointed at Alvin. "Hola! Nice to meet you!" Carlos said as he looked at both Simon and Alvin. " You sure know how to bring forth the welcoming commitee," Alvin joked, smiling at Carlos. Carlos laughed, "Sorry about that mi amigo. You sure you're ok?" Carlos said looking at Simon. " Yeah, no harm done," Simon replied. " Bueno, adios! I have to go now, we should hang out sometime," Carlos said as he walked torwards his yard.
" Ok! What school are you going to?" Alvin asked before he left. " I don't know. I think it's called, Waterman High or something like that." Carlos replied as he turned around. Simon laughed, " It's Walterman High, actually." "Yeah, that's the school we go to!" Alvin exclaimed. " Cool, maybe you can show me around tommorow at school, no?" Carlos said smiling. " Yeah, ok. See you there!" Alvin said as he and Simon entered the house, picking up the ladder before they left. "You still don't believe in bad luck?" Alvin asked laughingly. " Nope," Simon replied. " Come on, Si! Admit it! You're just a very unlucky person!" Alvin exclaimed as he offered the clover and rabbit's foot to Simon.
Simon didn't listen. He just kept thinking about how to get Jeanette to love him. Then he thought about what Alvin had said, "She already loves you", He just couldn't think of the right words to say to her. "I'll think about it tommorow during school", Simon thought as he went into the kitchen.
