A/N: I'm proud of myself. I'm finally updating.
Chapter 2:
After I had gotten my "proper" introduction, John, told us we had to read out of the newspaper because we all need to know how to read and write for the "new world." Almost all the boys didn't know how to read. I felt like I was in a first grade classroom but I didn't want to be rude. Listening to Steve read was like looking at a three year olds painting and saying it was very good. John turned to Billy and asked him to read. Of course he had to show off. Everyone looked at him stunned. This person who appears like he had never stepped into a classroom in his life was reading really well.
John said "very good, Now Anna, Why don't you give it a try."
I said "all right. But don't laugh."
I was trying to pretend like I didn't know what I was doing and I've never read before.
John, believing me says "No one here will laugh. Will we?" Everyone shook their head no.
I picked up the newspaper and started reading like I've read everyday since I was born. Everyone's jaw looked like they were about to drop out of their mouths. Dick, still in shock, said "How can you read? You're a girl!!!"
"What does being a girl got to do with anything?"
"Well, seeing how most of us boys can't read we figured you couldn't." I rolled my eyes and put the paper down. When John got up he turned to me and said "You're staying in the house. Only the boys sleep in the bunkhouse."
"Thank you." I said "I don't wanna stay in here anyway."
As I walked back up to the cabin I swore I had heard some noise. I wasn't sure what it was yet. I ignored it and continued walking into the house. As soon as I walked into the room I was going to stay in I heard a crashing noise coming from the closet. I tip-toed slowly over to the closet and began to open the closet door. Then I saw someone jumping out at me. They were screaming, "DIE BURGLAR, DIE!!!"
I finally see the persons face and I scream "Lisa. It's me Anna!! Get off me!!!!"
"Anna, why are you in my house?"
"Lisa, look around you. Does this look like your house?"
"No, then how did I get here?"
"Good question. I don't know."
"This doesn't look like your house either"
"It isn't my house. Do you remember that that I've been bugging you to see but you never would?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anyth....? Ohhh.......Never mind."
"Yeah, we're kinda in it."
Out of nowhere Lisa begins screaming at the top of her lungs. I tried to calm her down but she wouldn't shut up. John runs in as if he were ready to strike someone. He says very angrily "What is this now?" Mockingly I said "This is Lisa." As soon as I said that all the boys ran in with cocked guns. Lisa looked at them and shyly said "Hi, fellas."
They look at her with utter amazement because now they get to live with two girls. John looks to Lisa and smiles and says "I have another room for you to stay in if you wish to stay."
"I'm gonna have to stay. I have nowhere else to go."
"Good. In the morning we'll get you two some clothes."
"What's wrong with the clothes we have on." I asked offended.
"Nothing, but those are the clothes you killed the man in."
Lisa said shockingly "You killed somebody?"
"I never killed anyone!!!!!"
John looked at the other boys and says "regulators, go back to sleep. We have a big day tomorrow. Lisa, come with me. I'll show you your room."
"Good night everyone that's not Billy!" I shouted.
"Good night Anna." Said John.
