Hi you guys! Sorry I took so long! Don't eat me! shrinks to a tiny shrimp (you know, the shellfish) Don't hurt me, please.
Courtney was helping her mother set the table when her father came into the room. Robert Paulson took one whiff of the dinner his wife had cooked and his mouth began to water. "Smells good." He said, brushing past Courtney to kiss his wife. "What'd you cook, muffin?" Courtney acted offended as her parents were talking. "What, no kiss for your own daughter!?" Robert chuckled, "Of course, how could I forget my little baby girl?" He rushed to kiss Courtney. Courtney and her mother were giggling while Robert kissed her cheek. Robert was always a funny man, barely serious. But most of the time, he was only funny accidentally. Olivia Paulson said. "Okay, stop harassing you're 'little girl' and round up the little ones!"The little ones, were Courtney's little siblings. Merissa, who was fourteen; Trevor, who was twelve; Jillian, who was nine, and of course no one could forget little Nicky, that cute baby to everyone who was really eight years old. Courtney loved her little brothers and sisters, but they could be so- "NO! I want that seat!" "I'm getting it!" "Isn't that chair mine daddy!?" "Stop being so immature! It's obvious that seat is mine!" Courtney rubbed her temples. That seat was always supposedly enchanted, made of cherry wood in France. Fairies constructed it, Courtney's grandfather exclaimed proudly. He was a native born French man. "You know what!? I'm gonna sit in that seat!" Courtney yelled.
She plopped herself in that seat and stuck her tongue at Merissa, who was sticking her's out. Robert crossed his arms and muttered, "One day I'm gonna get rid of that damn chair." Olivia shook her head and placed the potato salad on the table. "Okay, dig in kids." Trevor and Nicky, being typical boys, ate like pigs, while the girls ate like royalty, gracefully and slowly. Robert sat down and unfolded his napkin and placed it on his lap and took a bite out his steak. "This is good, honey." He said to Olivia.

Duncan sat watching TV on his beat up couch in his room while his Aunt Julie went to get some Chinese. Duncan had always lived in the ghetto with his Aunt. He was an orphan and he was always in and out of juvy. Aunt Julie just stopped caring and went into drugs. So she was in and out of rehab. Duncan was never a bad kid on purpose…at first. At first he only stole and cheated because he and his Aunt weren't very rich. Then, as he got older and got beat up by guys all the time he began to learn the ropes and became more and more vicious. Then he was sent to juvy every now and again and Julie had more time for her and her male prostitutes….if there were such things.
Duncan changed from MTV's Rob and Big to some sappy love movie. It was cheesy, but he always had a secret love for them. Especially Titanic. Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet were so talented! He cried when he saw Rose kissing Jack as if he would defrost and kiss her back and it was obvious that he was dead anyway. He suddenly remembered him and Courtney, and when she first got voted off. He felt as if something had taken a knife and stabbed and stabbed at his heart until he couldn't feel its beat any more. He couldn't show that hurt in front of Geoff, or DJ, or all of the TV viewers out there. He acted tough, but after the ceremony was over, he buried his face in his pillow and cried like a wuss. He just hoped nobody noticed that part.
Suddenly, Julie came in. "Duncan!!" She yelled. He sighed and turned off his TV. "What?!" He retorted. Julie stomped up to his room. She kicked open the door. Duncan almost gasped. Her normally messy red hair was neatly brushed and put up in a bun with wisps of red strands sticking out. Her bloodshot eyes were disguised in heavy mascara and heavy, corny-looking purple eye shadow. Her lips were a blood red and she was wearing earrings. She was dressed in a short, slutty black dress and wore black five inch heels. "Duncan sweetie, I have a friend over so I want you to stay up here like a good boy. Okay?" Duncan muttered. "Like I was doing that already?" When Julie left, Duncan climbed out his window and fell into a bush. He knew Julie wouldn't freak. He did it all the time.
Sorry for the unexpected stop but, I'm having some writer's block so yeah… Aileen S.
