Second Chapter!!!! Review please!Elliot raised his eyebrows. " I never thought anyone would move into that old shack." Gramps rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Well, it's just a shack 'cause no one's lived their for a while. The new rancher can fix it up." I rolled my eyes. No one could ever fix that place up. "How much you have to bribe them with Gramps?" I asked. Mother shook her head. "Now, Natalie be polite."

Gramps shook his finger at me from across the table.

"Young lady! I did not bride anyone! The boy actually wanted to come here! So when he arrives tomorrow I want no saucy behavior do you hear me?!"

I rolled my eyes again.

" You know what Gram-"

"So! It's a guy huh?" Elliot said, quickly cutting me off.

I glared at him and crossed my arms.

Gramps, whom had seemed to forgotten the argument before nodded.

"Yes! A boy. Goes by the name of Mark. You two will have a new friend very soon."

Mother smiled.

"Yes you will. Now lets finish dinner and get to bed. Were all going to have a exciting day tomorrow!"

Exciting. Sure....

We quickly finished off dinner, everybody talking about the new rancher.

What was so great about a new rancher anyway?

Sure, he would be great for the shipping business and it was a while since anyone new came to the island, but still.....

He was just a guy.

Wasn't he?

After dinner, I quickly washed the dishes and got ready for bed.

As I got into bed, my mother's shadow swept over me.

I turned away from her.

"Mom, you don't have to tuck me into bed like I was a child." I reminded her.

Mom laughed sweetly, her long light pink hair swaying.

"Oh right. I always forget...good night darling."

Kissing me on the head, she moved on to Elliot's bed, who from under the covers I could hear complaining.

"Mom! I don't need one..."

"But Elliot you have a runny nose again, let me just wipe it off with my hank-"

"I can do it myself!"

I giggled and fell asleep listening to Elliot wipe off his nose.
