Hello here's chapter two
Disclaimer: CS Lewis owns everything I own nothing
I got out of the car and stretched. It was a long drive. They live all the way in Goodwell.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door (actually it was Mrs. Reed who took the deep breath; I sort of just rolled my eyes and knocked). Julie answered it. I swear she looked just like a little kid on Christmas, smiling with her blue eyes lit up. I guess I wasn't smiling back, I was just staring. I could tell that she noticed, so I grinned.
I noticed Roxanne standing behind her, smiling also, but more motherly, which I thought was a weird swap. I remembered that she was in my place two years ago. That made me feel a little bit better, but at least she had her brother. But let's think positive now shall we? I have me. (Duh!) I also have you guys. (Which is so much help; no offense)
"Hello Sofia," Julie said, "and you must be Mrs. Reed," as she shook hands with her. "Would you like to come in?"
"No thank you," she said, "I need to get going." I knew why. She had to leave one of the older kids in charge. I think it was Susan. The foster home was probably on fire right now. If she was in charge, then she'd be checking her make up in the mirror, not noticing the flames in the reflection.
Once Mrs. Reed left, Julie started trying (unsuccessfully) to explain the complicated room order. I remembered something about staying in the attic with Roxanne. (Which I thought was really creepy) I saw there huge living room when I walked into the house. It looked like it took up the whole floor.
Finally, Roxanne butted in and said, "How about I give Sofia a tour, Julie?" Julie looked relieved and said yes.
Afterwards I could remember most of the house. Roxanne and I would be sharing the attic room (which isn't as creepy as I thought it would be) and Lucas and Alex were sharing the basement (which also wasn't as creepy as I thought it would be). The living room really did take up the whole first floor, except for a bathroom (which there was on each floor). The kitchen was on the second floor along with Julie's room.
About an hour after I arrived, Lucas and Alex came back from somewhere. I think Roxanne said something about it but I was looking out the window, staring at a bird (I get distracted easily). Lucas was nice, but he, like me, knew that it was a possibility that I wouldn't be staying long. Alex was all smiley, like his mom, but I could tell that if Julie wasn't here he wouldn't be as nice.(Like not as nice as in glaring, not smiling.)
I had unpacked with Roxanne earlier, so I didn't have anything else to do. I offered to help with the dishes, but Julie was all, "No you don't need to help," blah, blah, blah. I really hate when they treat you like a guest. (Guests leave.)
That night Roxanne kept me up with talking. I didn't mind though. I doubt I could've slept even if I tried. I was too nervous about school the next day.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
It was quiet at breakfast the next morning. I mean, they weren't new at the school, but it was still their first day of middle school. It would be weird for anyone not to be even a little nervous on the first day of school.
After Julie said bye and gave us all a hug, we started walking to school (it's only a five minute walk).When we saw the school, I was really surprised. I was bigger than I thought it would be. There is the elementary school and the middle school there, but it was still really big, or my old school was just small. I'm not quite sure.
When we went into the middle school, it took us a couple minutes. At first we thought that homeroom was on the second floor, and then we had to come back down, so it was a good thing that we came early. Once we did get to homeroom, Lucas went to sit at a desk, and Roxanne turned to me.
As a girl Roxanne's age with reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes walked up to us, Roxanne said, "This is Annie, do you mind sitting next to her?"
"Sure," I said. I could tell Lucas didn't want to switch seats, so didn't say anything. Annie was really nice. She wasn't talking to me about my other friends and things, like Roxanne, but she was just talking about things like school. It made me feel like we've always been friends. I t made me feel slightly better. Well….sort of.
I hope you liked it please review
