Wonderwall
"Of all the no good,dirty rotten things..." Thirteen year old Gabriella Tatiana Spinelli growled out,under her breath as she stomped angily into her house,slamming the solid oak door shut. 'Why must Joseph Hogart be such a rat bastard?' she wondered with a groan of annoyance,walking into her kitchen only to find her parents Maxie and Damian Spinelli locked in a passionate kiss. She shrieked piercingly,covering her brilliant green eyes with her tiny hands. "MOM!! DADDY!" She whined loudly.
They jumped apart guiltily and smiled at their daughter. "Hey sweetie. What are you doing home so early? I thought you and Joseph had to work late at the school newspaper?" Maxie asked her daughter,walking over to brush Gabriella's dark brown hair from her eyes.
"We were mom. That is until I figured out what an ignorant little jerk he really is." Gabby said with a toss of her hair. She fixed her eyes on the kitchen wall,glaring at it.
Her parents exchanged amused looks.
Gabriella turned her glare on them. "It ISN'T funny." She ground out bitterly,crossing her arms under her chest. Suddenly,she seemed to notice that a few people were missing. "Where are Alyssa and Alex?" She asked,looking around for her six year old twin sister and brother.
"The Twin Tornadoes are in the playroom." Her father replied with a grin of affection at his name for his youngest progenies. "So why is Joseph a 'ignorant little jerk?"
Gabby fell into a kitchen chair with a sigh,putting her arms on the tabletop and resting her head on them. Then she raised her head up and looked at her mother and father. "His little tramp of a girlfriend,Amber came to see him and he ended up leaving ME to do all the work! All because she whined about him spending time with me." She said,giving the wall clock a look that could kill. God how she wished Amber was here so she could strangle her.
Suddenly Alyssa,Alexander,and Roxie,the family's cocker spaniel all ran into the room.
Alyssa and Alexander,unlike their older sister,both had their mother's blond hair. Alex had his father's green eyes while Alyssa looked like a little carbon copy of their mother.
Damian scooped a twin up in in each arm when they began to run around the kitchen in a frenzy.
Maxie narrowed her eyes suspiciously at her husband. "Damian,you didn't give Alyssa and Alexander cookies and orange soda before dinner did you? You know how that effects them.
"Maximista,why would I do that?" He asked,grinning at her.
Gabriella rolled her eyes at how mushy her parents were behaving and walked out into the living room,falling ungracefully on the couch,kicked off her ballet flats and propping her bare feet,toes painted a sparkling pink on the coffee table. She picked up the remote and flipped on the television before reaching into her purse and pulling out her cell phone,dialing the Hogart's with a evil little smirk playing upon her lips. Joseph would regret leaving her with all the work when she talked to his mother.
"Hello?" A voice on the other end of the phone asked. It was Desiree,Joseph's ten year old sister. "Hey Desi. It's Gabriella. Could I speak to your mother for a moment?" She asked politely.
"Okay." Desiree said,not bothering to take the phone away from her face as she screamed at her mother.
Gabriella winced at the loud shrieking voice as she waited for Manuella Hogart to get on the line.
