Chapter 3 Robyn All American Boy
Hi guys! This is the third chapter, which you probably saw from the title, and I hope you'll enjoy it. You might wonder why I chose to write about Mr. Boy of all people but I started off with Boomer but it turned out all wrong. And I thought it would be cool to write about him because he's a lovable character. And I have seen few fictions about him so… I don't own any of the sky high characters you recognize.
"Why the long face?" asked Kate that had appeared behind Robyn. Robyn growled at her and put the bags down the bench. Kate looked taken a back for a couple of seconds before she asked.
"Have you and mom been fighting about the whole dad thing? Because it's stupid when…"
"I wish I hadn't brought up that subject at all!"
"Are you sick?" asked Kate, putting on hand on her forehead. Robyn brushed it away.
"I wish. Than I could blame the fever for this disaster!" said Robyn and stoked off before Kate could ask more stupid questions. The worst thing about your mom going out with you teacher is that you can't break ONE rule that'll go unnoticed! Not ONE! Mr. Boy would watch her like a hawk…
Robyn lay down on the bed with her arms under her head. She croaked an eyebrow at the thought that Mr. Boy could have been her father if they had met sooner, which was absolutely wrong! What would she be than, Robyn Boy? She laughed silently. If that was his last name at all. Robyn All American Boy. People wouldn't take her seriously…
She gazed up at the Mickey Mouse wall watch and saw that it was only five past twelve. Her mom could be home any second, but Robyn couldn't resist the thought of a ten minute nap before she went down to make lunch.
She awoke with a start. First she thought that she had only dosed off for a second because she lay in the exact same position but when she glanced out the window she saw that it was getting dark. The watch showed that she had been sleeping for over six hours. Her mom should have woken her hours ago!
"Mom why didn't you wake me up?" she asked as she jumped down the stairs.
"Mom's not home yet." said Kate that sat in the horrible green couch in the hall, reading Venus and Mars in silence.
"What do you mean she's not home yet?" asked Robyn.
"I mean that she's not in the HOUSE at the moment." Answered Kate slowly and shook her head. Robyn ignored her.
"Where is she then? At work?" asked Robyn.
"Dunno. I should be the one asking you. You left her at the mall."
"I know I just… No way… NO WAY!" said Robyn and jumped down the last steps and sat down next to Kate that didn't seem to understand anything.
"Has something bad happened?" she asked worried.
"Oh it's something bad alright." answered Robyn.
"I'm home." said Cristina that had just walked in the door with a smug look on her thin face. But it disappeared when she saw the look on her daughters faces. Kate's face was full of worry while Robyn's was overloaded with anger.
"Why didn't you call?" asked Kate.
"I'm sorry sweetie, but Jonathan took me to the movies." answered Cristina and hung up her red and white jacket.
"Jonathan?" asked Robyn loudly.
"Yeah, that's his name."
"You are using each others first names already!"
"Inside voice darling." Cristina reminded Robyn and smiled.
"Who's Jonathan?" asked Kate confused.
"If I say that he is a teacher at Sky High, what will you say?" asked Robyn still with her eyes on her mother.
"Are you dating coach Boomer!?" Kate spat shocked.
"Take his size and his talent and slit it in two, what will you get?" Kate thought for a moment before a sky fallen face appeared.
"Mr. Boy?" she whispered in disbelief. Robyn nodded violently but Kate didn't seem to bother, she was just looking at her mother.
"Why do you look at me like that? Jonathan is a great guy and one of the nicest and funniest…" she started but after the word funniest she burst out laughing. Robyn glanced over at Kate that looked frightened.
"You, you should have heard the joke he told me. It was hilarious!" she said still laughing. "Ok, there were two guys that were traveling from England to America. There they met an Indian. One of the boys walks toward him and says: "How!" the Indian responded with a "How!" than the other boy says "I didn't know you could speak with Indians." Than the first says "It's easy when you know HOW." Funny right!" she said and burst out laughing again.
"You get it how and how?" Kate and Robyn blinked at her puzzled. It was absolutely not normal that their mother would laugh at a joke and especially not one as bad as that!
"I'll be in my room." Said Robyn and walked backwards towards the stairs watching her mother with confused gray eyes.
