Girl In The Ally

Chapter 7

Wow, chapter 7 already. I'll try not to make it so long…unless you like it….

Vanessa got up from her bed. She had school again. It was 8:00. She quickly picked out a purple shirt with Rock Star on it and a star on it, in white, and a white skirt that fell above her knees, a white hat, and silver hoop earrings. She walked to the bathroom and washed her face and brushed her teeth. She changed, tied her hair, and walked downstairs. She walked to the closet and got her backpack out. "Hi!" Vanessa said.

Jason was cooking something. "Hey, V! Im making bacon, want some with eggs?" He asked.

"Sure!" She replied. He finished and gave them to her.

Nate walked to her. "Hey, V! Um, can you wake up Shane when you're finished?"

"Ok!" Vanessa said. She finished, washed her hands and walked upstairs to Shane's room.

She opened the door quietly. Shane was lying on his bed, one arm was hanging off the side of the bed, and his legs were spread out. His other hand was under his head. He was quietly snoring. She shook him lightly.

"Shane? Shaneeee, wake up…" She said. He didn't move. She shook him harder. "Come on, Shane! Wake up….please…for you're only sister!" He moved slightly.

"Do I need to bring water?" She asked. She sighed, and walked downstairs and got a glass. She filled it up with freezing cold water. She walked upstairs with it. She walked to Shane's room and she walked to his bed. She was tipping it over his head, when he grabbed her hand to stop.

"You better not tip that water on me." He mumbled. She laughed.

"Ha, you were awake the whole time!" She said.

"Alright, ill get up." Shane said, sitting up.

"Kay." She replied, walking out the bedroom. She walked downstairs.

"Yeah, he's coming." Vanessa said.

"Alright, anyways, do you have any left-over money?" Jason asked.

"Yeah…7 dollars." She said.

"Good, use that." He said. She nodded. She put the money in her backpack. She had a little wallet that came with it. She put it in there. Then, Shane walked downstairs.

"Hey, you guys. I call taking Ness to school!" Shane said.

"Ok!" Nick and Kevin said. "Anyways, its time for you to go, its 8:50"

Vanessa got her backpack and her iPod. Vanessa and Joe walked outside. They were walking today. After 5 minutes, they got there.

"Ok, bye ness!" He said, hugging her.

"Bye, Joey!" Vanessa said, hugging him back. She walked away to her friends. "Hey, guys!" Vanessa said.

"Hey, V!" They all said. They walked to the building. "OMJ, I forgot to ask you, when is you're birthday?" Sheniqua asked.

"October 9, the day after Joe found me!" She said.

"Cool! Whet did they get you?" Desiree asked.

"Joe got me a really cool pink, white and black basketball, but Kevin and Nick didn't get me anything, though they were smiling at me this morning!" She said.

"Dull or really happy?" Melanie asked.

"Uh, REALLY happy!" Vanessa said, putting emphasis on the Really. Once they approached the school, the bell rang. The doors opened and everyone ran in. "Whoa, why is everyone so happy?" Vanessa asked when they were inside.

"Oh, today is 'National Band Day.' It's when a band comes to our school and plays a few songs. It's like a real concert, but at school." Jennifer said.

"Which band is playing today?" Vanessa asked.

"It's a secret! That's the good part of it! It's a mystery!" Laura said. They all laughed, and walked to the gym. They sat down in a chair, and put they're backpacks in they're lap's.

"Welcome All Ladies! Put you're hands together for the Jonas Brothers!" The announcer said. Vanessa screamed as loud as she could. The brothers walked onstage. "Hey, everyone! Im Joe Jonas!" Joe said. The audience screamed as loud as they could.

"Hey, Im Nick!" Nick said. The audience screamed.

"Hey, im Kevin!" Kevin said. A few, but a lot of people screamed for him.

"We are the Jonas Brothers!" They all said. The audience went wild. They started off with Mandy. Vanessa and her friends all sang along.

[Verse 1]

Mandy used to be that girl

The one that never said a word

But she always sang

S Club 7 and all those boy bands

Now it's been a few years

It looks like things have changed

Now she's mine and I want to say

[Chorus:]

Mandy always laughs when I act stupid

I am unaware that I'm a nuisance

With her it's never wasted time

Mandy always knows exactly what I'm

Thinking and she's always on my mind

And now, I'm never gonna let her go

Cause Mandy always knows

[Verse 2]

Mandy always tells the truth

Even when it's hard to do

And she always understands

Even when it don't make sense

Even though she is a blonde

I'm the one that feels so dumb

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

When I have a problem

I'm sure that Mandy knows

When I'm feeling lonely

I'm sure that Mandy knows

When everything's crazy

She's always there for me

And I'm sure that she knows

I'm never ever gonna let her go

[Chorus]

Vanessa and her friends clapped, then they sand along to the next song, Kids of the Future.

[All Three]

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids of the future [x2]

[Shane]

Standing on a dirty, old rooftop

Down below the cars in the city go rushing by

I sit here alone and I wonder why

Come on Lewis, keep moving forward

Hold your head up high

There's no time for looking down

You will not believe where we're going now

[Nate]

Here we go, let me remind you

Look ahead, the past is behind you

[All Three]

[Chorus]

We're the kids of the future, whoa!

We're the kids of the future, whoa!

Everybody live 'cause the future is now!

[Shane]

Bright lights, boy, look around you

Your imagination is working overtime

The world that you've dreamt of has now arrived

Hot shot, the greatest adventure

Is where the family you've searched for

Comes alive

So come meet the Robinsons

[Nate]

Looking for a place you belong to

Looking for a family that wants you

We're the kids of the future, Whoa!

We're the kids of the future, Whoa!

Everybody live 'cause the future is now

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

[Shane]

Everyday we have fun me and Wilbur

So happy to be here with the Robinsons

I finally feel I can be someone

Outside a new day is dawning

Outside todayland is sprawling everywhere

I know that it's right because

[Nate]

We'll save the future together

This family's forever

We're the kids of the future, Whoa!

We're the kids of the future, Whoa!

Everybody live 'cause the future is now

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

[All Three]

We're the kids

We're the kids

We're the kids of the future [x2]

They sang along to the rest of the songs. "Alright, we have someone here that's VERY special to us!" Joe said, looking at Vanessa.

"Please welcome, Vanessa Jonas!" Nick said. Everyone clapped for her. Vanessa walked onstage.

"Hi, everyone!" Vanessa said in the microphone.

"Vanessa is the best girl I EVER found. And no, I haven't found other girls. You see, I was going for a walk, and I found her in an ally. She was crying, so I just had to take her home! I introduced her, and well, then she became our little sister!" Joe said.

"They are really the best brothers any girl could have, even Frankie!" Vanessa said.

"Well, we were actually hoping that you could sing a song for us, maybe play the guitar!" Nick asked.

"I don't have a guitar here, though!" Vanessa said. Nick grabbed a guitar and gave it to her.

"What do you say?" Kevin asked.

"Fine, I will. But, which song?" Vanessa asked.

"What songs can you play?" Joe asked.

"Um…Northern Downpour, SOS, and Teardrops on my guitar" Vanessa said.

"How bout….Teardrops On My Guitar!" Joe said. Everyone cheered.

"Ok!" Vanessa got ready and started playing.

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

Vanessa finished and they all cheered. "I just have one question. Who's Drew?" Joe asked.

"I have no idea, its how the song goes!" Vanessa said, giggling.

"Ok! Give it up for Vanessa Jonas everybody!" Nick screamed. Everyone cheered.

"Bye!" Vanessa said. Vanessa walked off the stage and sat down.

"Nice job! I love you're voice!" Sheniqua said.

"Thanks!" Vanessa said.

"Alright, everyone. We gotta leave now, so you can all continue to learn!" Nick said. Everyone groaned in disappointment.

"Aw, come on. It's not that bad!" Kevin said.

"Yea it is!" A few girls screamed.

"Try to have fun in school! Bye everyone! Goodnight and Goodbye!" Joe said, and they all walked off the stage.

Vanessa and her friends got up. Some kids named Cassie LeFeta, Ashley Terris and Selena Defani from Mrs. Setae's class walked up to her.

"You're the Jonas Brothers sister?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah!" Vanessa replied.

"That's so cool!" Cassie and Selena said.

They walked away. A lot of other kids did that. She just replied the same way. "V, this is so cool! LOTS of people are talking to you!" Melanie said.

"Even though popularity isn't everything. You are popular however you act!" Vanessa said. They all agreed. They walked upstairs to the classroom. They put they're backpacks away and grabbed they're stuff. They walked into class.

"Girls, please don't sit down yet, I have a new seating arrangement." Mrs. Bealsi said. They stood together, and waited for the other girls.

"Alright, ladies. We have a new seating arrangement. You all are now going to be sitting in groups of 6. First group, Vanessa, Sheniqua, Melanie, Jennifer, Laura, and Desiree. You can all sit down now." She said, continuing the list. The 6 girls all sat down.

"Yes, in a group together!" Desiree said. They all exchanged hi-5's.

"Alright, class, take out you're math textbooks and you're notebooks. You and you're new group are going to do question 1, 2, and 3 on page 111, and you are going to write down the answers in the notebook. Vanessa, I will give you a textbook and a notebook." Mrs. Bealsi said. She got out a pink notebook and a textbook. Vanessa wrote her name and Math on the front. She opened the book and flipped to the page.

"Ok, you guys. Question 1, Lisa and Caitlyn both have a bag of apples. Lisa's had 12 apples and Caitlyn's had 16. Then Katrina and Leslie met them. How can they divide the apples to share with Katrina and Leslie? Write the answer down." Vanessa said.

"Well, just divide 12 and 16!" Jennifer said.

Melanie took out her blue calculator. "Alright, 12 divided by 16 equals 0.75!" Melanie said. They all wrote that down.

"Ok, Question 2, Lora and Danielle each have 160 marbles in 1 bag. How many marbles would they have if they had 6 bags? Write you're answer down." Laura said.

"Easy, 160x6=960! Vanessa said, doing it in the corner of her paper.

"Wow, V!" Jennifer said.

"Hey, I practice!" Vanessa said. They finished it. Then they finished the 3rd question, and then they heard a bell.

"Time for the next period! Everyone hand in you're notebooks, I will check them tonight." Mrs. Bealsi said. Everyone handed them in. Everyone sat down again. Suddenly, the principal and vice-principal walked in.

"Good morning, ladies!" The principal said.

"Good morning, Mrs. Kalahari and Mrs. Desal." They all said.

"Well, I just wanted to say what a beautiful job on those pictures!" Mrs. Desal said.

"Thank you!" They all replied.

"Anyways, would you all come outside to you're paintings?" Mrs. Kalahari asked. All of the girls got up and went outside with them to the billboard.

"Girls, whose painting is this?" Mrs. Desal asked.

Vanessa raised her hand. She walked towards them. "That is mine." Vanessa said politely.

"Vanessa, I just wanted to say, that you're painting looks VERY life-like. I love it!" Mrs. Kalahari said.

"Thank you!" Vanessa said.

"Alright, ladies. You can all go back." Mrs. Desal said. All of them walked back to class and sat down to continue the day.

After School…

Vanessa walked out of the school with Sheniqua, Desiree, Melanie, Jennifer, and Laura. "School was totally JB filled, with the concert and stuff!" Jennifer said.

"I totally loved it!" Vanessa said, "Oh, theres my brother, bye, guys!" She walked towards Joe.

"Bye, V!" They all said.

"Hey, Ness!" Joe said.

"Hey, Joe!" Vanessa said, sitting in the car.

"How was school? Did you enjoy the concert?" Joe asked.

"Yeah, I thought it was cool!" Vanessa said. They arrived at home. They walked in the house.

"Hey. Van! Theres something on you're bed for you." Kevin said. Vanessa put her backpack away and walked upstairs to her bedroom. She looked on her bed. She gasped. There was a box on her bed, wrapped and tied up nicely. She looked at the tag. It said From: Kevin, Joe and Nick, and To: Vanessa. She opened it up.

She gasped. There was a hot pink Mozzarella Razr on her bed, with a black case with a small diamond heart on the corner, and a charm bracelet with a basketball, a heart, the letters JS on them and a musical note. Then, Joe, Nick and Kevin walked in.

"Thank you so much! But, on the charm bracelet, what does JS stand for?" Vanessa asked.

"It means Jonas Sister. I got the bracelet, Nick got the case, and Kevin got the phone." Joe said.

"Thank you so much, this is the best present EVER!" Vanessa said, hugging them all.

"You're welcome!" They all said, leaving the room, and closing the door. Vanessa put the bracelet on, and grabbed her phone. She was on her laptop also. She was choosing her ringtone. She chose SOS. She went online on MSN. Sheniqua was on.

MizzShenni: Skadoosh, gurl

RockStar98: Heyy! Whats up?

MizzShenni: Nm, you?

RockStar98: Nm, except that I got a new CELL PHONE!!! It's a hot pink Mozzarella Razr, it's so cute. Joe got me a bracelet, Kevin got me a phone, and Nick got me a cute case!

MizzShenni: I can't wait to see it tomorrow! Did u know me, Melanie, and the other girls have one?

RockStar98: Really? What's ur phone number?

RockStar98: Thanks, they are in. Oh, man. I G2G, Jase's calling me, peace!

MizzShenni: Byee!

Vanessa logged off. She walked downstairs. "Hey, Van. I just wanted to ask you, do you want a sandwich?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, sure! I'll be upstairs." She said. Kevin nodded. She walked upstairs. She grabbed her phone and looked in her phone book. Kevin had put Joe, Nick, and his cell phone number in it. She also had her friends. She called Sheniqua.

(Vanessa/Sheniqua)

Hello?

Hey, it's V!

Oh, hey, whats up?

Nothing much, you?

Same, im soo bored

Same, I have nothing to do, all I have is my laptop.

Wow…I can't believe THE JONAS BROTHERS came to our school, and YOU went on stage!

Well, duh. I am they're sister!

Ha ha, you are soo funny.

I know I am!

I gotta go, Jason is calling me, See you tomorrow!

Bye!

Vanessa ended the call and walked downstairs. Kevin gave her the sandwich. "Thanks." She said.

"You're welcome!" Kevin said. She sat with Nick.

"So, Van. How do you like the present?" Nick asked.

"Oh, I love it!" Vanessa said. She finished her sandwich and sat on the couch with Joe.

"Joey, can I watch Spongebob? Pwease?" She asked in a baby voice, using her pout.

"Oh man, that's a powerful pout. Ok, I was going to Spongebob anyways." He said.

"Yay!" Vanessa said, clapping her hands. They watched Spongebob until it was over, then they put on Family. FamJam was on. The song 'This is real, This is me' by Demi Lovato was playing.

"Hey, it's Demi! It's been so long since we've seen her!" Joe said.

"She was so cool! I wonder where she lives right now." Nick said.

"I still have her number, I could call her later!" Kevin said.

"Cool. She's really pretty! Her voice is really cool, also!" Vanessa said. Vanessa walked upstairs. She threw herself on the bed. She plugged her iPod in her stereo to charge it. She grabbed her laptop and turned it on. She went on internet and went on youtube. She searched some really funny videos. She fortunately got bored and closed it. She layed her head back. She left the laptop in her lap without turning it off. She put on We Rock by the Camp Rock cast. Then she closed it.

"I HAVE NOTHING TO DO!!" Vanessa screamed in her pillow. She groaned and grabbed her electric guitar. (She had an electric one and an acoustic one) She started playing. She was playing the music to Poor Unfortunate Souls. After, she put it away and sat on her bed again. She reached for her laptop.

"Nah, it already made me bored." Vanessa mumbled. Then, someone knocked on her door. "Who is it?" Vanessa asked.

"Joe!" He said.

"Alright, come in." Vanessa said. She buried her head in her pillow. He opened the door.

"I just wanted to tell you that we are going to Wonderland tomorrow…that's all." Joe said, leaving and closing the door. Vanessa smiled happily. What about school? Vanessa thought. "Oh, well, I'll ask tomorrow." Vanessa said, going to sleep.

Wow, this one took 12 pages with all of the editing! R and R!
