So yeah, I said I'd wait to upload and stuff but I love that I'm getting so many favorites and story alerts. I'd really love you two to review but I enjoy the favorites and alerts. Btw, who's liking the sleek ? I know I am!
So um, I have a birthday coming up, yay! Just letting you guys know.
Oh! You guys saw The Blonde Squad? Well, that's inspired me to write another story unfortunately. I won't give up on this one or any of my others. So be on the lookout for that. There will be a lot of what-ifs in that story, especially WHAT IF CAT AND ROBBIE KISSED OR SOMETHING CABBIE RELATED! Grrr.
So yes, without further ado, I hope you enjoy!
"Chapter 7 – Yellow Eyes"
He ran away!
I didn't know people could run that fast. One time, my brother moved so fast that he zoomed by me when I blinked and almost ran into a building. Oh wait…he had really specially skates on, haha! That boy didn't have skates though…
With my broken phone, I went back to The Baby Store and went back to work. Tommy and his daddy came by and his daddy gave me five dollars for watching Tommy! That was so nice of him.
Then six hours later, Beverly says it's time to close up shop and I head down to Two Million Books to play with my sister! As soon as I get there, there's a big crowd in there. Who knew so many people wanted books at ten at night? One time my brother stayed out until ten at night…but he came back in handcuffs with three cows mooing loudly behind him and he was wearing a dress. We had to pay a lot of money so he wouldn't go to jail and we didn't even get to keep one of the cows!
"What's going on?" I ask as I run up to Bristol. She sighs tiredly and 'rings up' another customer. When my brother came home with a face full of piercings, he said he was 'rung up,' haha. But the man Bristol rung up doesn't have any piercings…
Jade has piercings! She has a tattoo too. Oh, I have a tattoo! Wait no that was a temporary one, haha.
"Michael Caroni's in town," she answers as she rings up another man. I raise my eyebrow the way Jade does it when she's curious and actually interested in something. "Michael Caroni?" I repeat. That's a funny name! It sounds like macaroni, haha! Michael Macaroni's in town!
"Yeah," Bristol sighs out as she rings up another customer. "He's the author of this big werewolf book series that he claims are based on real-life events." She rings up a man and a woman who have matching spikey hair cuts! "His final book is out and he's in town for the month to finish his book signing tour."
"I love signing things!" I exclaim.
Bristol's head shoots to me with narrowed green eyes. "No, Cat," she hisses. "The last time you signed something we had a bear in our house!" A really fat man with no hair coughs loudly. "Can you hurry up, lady?" he asks really meanly! Bristol plasters on the same fake smile Jade normally wears and turns back to Meanie Fat Man. "I'm sorry sir," she forces out as she rings him up. "Have a nice day." Meanie Fat Man mutters really mean and dirty words and I gasp while Bristol sneers at him.
"Stay away from Mr. Caroni, Cat," Bristol begs tiredly as she rings up a woman with bright pink hair. "Just…go find some books to read okay?" I nod and skip away. "Kay, kay!" I call back to her. But as I skip, I feel someone's eyes on me. I stop skipping and look out the store.
There's that boy again!
He's looking at me again! He's looking at me with his weird yellow eyes.
Then I bump into a table. Sometimes I forget to stop walking when I'm doing other things; that's how my phone got broken!
"I'm so sorry!" I cry out. Then I hear Bristol groan and I look up and see that I made Macaroni's drink spill in his lap. Macaroni's blonde hair and tired green eyes look up at me. He laughs softly. "It's alright, dear," he tells me. "That drink wasn't too good and I needed new pants anyway."
"Kay, kay!" I announce with a big smile. Yay, I didn't make him mad! Now I don't feel bad about skipping off to the books!
I like the Teen Fiction section and so does my sister. Once I get to the Teen Fiction section—with all the pretty books and colors!—I see this big display of bunches of copies of all four Spark Blood books. Those are the books my sister loves! I skip over to them and pick up one of the books. The cover of the first one has this girl with long brown hair and big brown eyes like mine and this guy with blonde hair and yellow eyes is holding her. This is the first book where Elizabeth finds out Arnold is a vampire!
What if that weird boy is a vampire too! I bet he has a funny name…
One time my brother decided to call himself Shirley. Then came home in handcuffs…
I fall to my floor and cross my legs like Jade says the Indians do! My brother says we're part Indian, but I don't believe him. But anyway, I start reading the first Spark Blood book. By the time Bristol gets off work—maybe an hour later—I get to the part where Elizabeth and Arnold are yelling at each other in the pretty field because he wants her to say it out loud he's a vampire!
"Come on, Cat," Bristol calls as she starts to turn out the lights. "It's time to go home." I groan softly and look up to see her walking toward me, her blonde curly hair bouncing funnily. "But I'm reading," I whine, rocking from side to side. Bristol sighs like she's annoyed. "I have all four Spark Blood books at home, Cat," she reminds me. "You know that. It's eleven o'clock and I'm ready to sleep. Put the book up and let's go!"
I sigh sadly and put the book back on its fancy little stand. My brother had a fancy little stand once and he filled it with a bunch of Brittanie dolls. Oh wait, he made that for me! My brother likes to build things, haha.
When Bristol and I get home, I pull my sleeping mommy's blanket over her shoulders and I read Bristol's book all night long. Then I dreamed!
