Chp 2

I crept down the hallway until I reached the kitchen. We had a basic single story house. All the way in the back of the house was a den, to the top left is where all of the bedroom's are located, and if you go to the bottom left you end up in the kitchen/dinning room. Back on to topic though a couple of hours before I went to take a "nap" I packed my old backpack with things I would need for the party, like those little tiny tooth brushes with tooth paste inside of them, a comb, deo for my b.o, and my keys (not that I would be going through any doors.)

After I grabbed my bag I silently made my way down the hall into the den. There was a window with no screen all the way in the back; I worked my way towards it. It was all going so well until I heard his… voice. "Hi Ani." My big brother Arron. He got out of the armchair he was in and went to close the dens double doors. They made a slight squeaking noise, because we didn't use them too often. He crossed the room and switched on the floor lamp.

I look a lot like Arron. We're a mix between Puerto Rican and African American so we have a smooth light brown skin color. We both have a slim muscular build, light brown eyes and long curly dark brown hair. The only differences between Arron and I are he has a small mustache beard thing and he keeps his hair short and spiked.

"So a month of your chores sounds good Arron?"

"Alison! I am appalled you would think so little of me."

"Come-on Ron tell me what you want so I can go."

"Ani, you are so clueless. Take your cell and wallet and let's go."

"Ooooooooooo, so you're going too?"

"No dummy, I'm going to Mars…. Yhea I'm going."

He turned off the light and tossed me my things. I shoved them in my bag and went to the window.
