Okay, so This chapter is really short, but I will be trying to post one chapter everyday, or maybe more. I hope you like it.
Chap 2
"Mom?" I called from the kitchen. She walked in from the living room a minute later. "Do you and John want to bring these cookies over? I think I'm gonna take a shower." I said, pulling out chunks of cookie dough and flower John threw in my hair.
"Max! You look adorable! Let me get my camera!" She yelled before charging up the steps. I groaned audibly making John erupt in a fit of giggles.
"You think it's funny?" I asked him, tickling his sides. He just laughed harder. We were brought out of our fun by a giant flash. There stood my mom with a giant grin on her face, examining the picture of us she just took.
"Why? Just why?" I said shaking my head disapprovingly. She just laughed crazily. She was more of a best friend then a mom.
"Come on! We have to go show Emily! Run John! Run!" She yelled sprinting out of the house. My brother grabbed a coloring book and some of his crayons before following her out. You know how most kids have hobbies? Okay, well John's OBSESSION was coloring. No matter where he was, he would find a nice place to sit down and color. He was so adorable.
I bounded up the steps and into the shower, taking care of the purple, chocolate chip mess that was my hair.
I finished quickly, and made my way into my room. I threw on a pair of red skinny jeans, and an oversized black band tee that belonged to me dad for a while. That explains why it was so big on me. But I liked it.
I blow dried my hair, curling it to it's usual elbow length do. When I was done, and feeling clean again, I went to go help my dad in the little shed out back. He was turning it into an art studio, and I hoped to learn where everything was incase I needed to use some of his supplies.
"Max! Darling! Come, come. Look at this? What do you think? Too dull?" He asked, holding hi paint brush to his chin and leaving a red dash there as he faced my to look at a picture of the sunset he just drew.
"It looks great, but you see how it gets foggier here?" I said, gesturing to the one corner of the page. My dad nodded his head as if just realizing his mistake.
"This is why I love you." My dad said dismissively as he began to fix the painting.
I smiled and walked back into the house. There was officially nothing to do. I could draw. But what's there to draw? Just some tree's and grass.
"Max!" My mom yelled excitedly as she and my brother rushed in the front door. I stood up from the couch and watched them enter. Both looked pretty happy.
"We see giants!" John exclaimed, spreading out his arms to show how big they were. He walked over to me and gave me a small hug before walking over into the corner and coloring.
"There were these guys over at Emily's house, and they had to be part giant or ogre of something!" My mom exclaimed, her eyes going wide. I rolled my eyes at her. She was only 5'5, to her everyone was a giant. I mean, my brother was 5'8, almost as tall as my dad, they seemed to be the tallest people ever. Then again, I was short. I was only 5'4. Yeah, short little me thinks everyone's big.
"That's nice…?" I asked, cocking an eyebrow and laughing slightly. I flopped back down on the couch and she sat down beside me.
"They were really cute too! I mean, if I wasn't married…!" She trailed off, thinking about the possibilities. Ew. She's my mom.
"Mom! Think motherly thoughts! Motherly thoughts!" I said shaking her wildly, John thought that was hysterical.
"I think they're going to the res school. I'm signing you and John up tomorrow!" She said happily. Woah, wait, was she serious? She was going to let John go to an actual school and not home school him? What was the world coming too? I mean, don't get me wrong this is great, good news, but she was always so against sending him out into the public.
"John's going?" I asked, jumping up excitedly. She nodded yes.
"Yeah. It's just that, the one boy, Embry, was really nice to him and Emily said the res school was really great, and I could use the free time to help out at the library…and….well, that's my reason!" She chirped frantically as if we were two college girls talking about guys.
"Well, when do we start then? I still need supplies and stuff, right?" I said, not being able to sit back down from all the excitement. I loved meeting new people. Which was weird because people usually didn't like to meet me. I was 'intimidating' but since the 'giants' were at the school, who would pay any attention to me?
