Break through! I noticed that a lot of my sentences start with I :3
Chapter 6~
We sat down our colorful plates and pulled a table up for Rose and Eliot. After that we all sat and started eating.
I didn't know what to start with: the fish, the green beans, the fruit salad, or maybe the rice?
I cut a piece of salmon and stabbed it with my fork. The pink veins made me squeamish so I closed my eyes and took a bite. The whole world stopped (as it has been doing a lot) while so many flavors exploded in my mouth. Never have I tasted something so great. I ate the fish as slowly as I could, saving the wonderfulness as long as I could.
"Mmmm, great job Sophie. You prepared my fish just right." Rose said from across the table.
"Yeah really great job," I said, "Its so fresh."
"Yep. I wish I had the honor of catching these fine fish," Edward said, "I will help tomorrow, I was kind of distracted today."
"Oh its fine Edward! You were showing Vanilla around. Its not like you were doing nothing." Sophie said back.
"Just try to do better tomorrow." Colin said in a sharp voice and giving Edward a look.
"Hey and maybe Vanilla can catch a fish for tomorrows' meal." Sophie said completely ignoring what Colin had said.
"And me too." Eliot said in a proud voice.
"When your a big boy, El'." Rose said back.
Eliot's head hung down looking at his feet disappointed.
After eating in silence for a while, we realized that our plates have been licked clean.
"Well I'm full." Sophie said.
We all agreed and stood up. Sophie collected the plates and headed into the kitchen. She came back out to say good bye to Rose and Eliot.
We watched them go out the door.
"I'll help with the dishes Sophie." Edward said from behind me.
"Oh ok if you want to." Sophie said back.
They disappeared back into the dining room and I was left with Colin. He seamed troubled and grumpy at dinner.
I yawned and said, "Well I'm tired, see you in the morning Colin."
I walked to the left hallway down to my room. Before I shut my door I saw Colin still standing there looking at the door.
Wow he really has something on his mind. I jumped into my bed and laid on my back I went under my covers. When I got comfortable and warm against the cool covers then I drifted to sleep.
The next morning I awoke to sounds of a sludge hammer. It was distant but it sure was a rattling. I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes. I walked to my dresser to search for a new dress since I wore this all of yesterday. There was only one that looked pretty decent. It was light blue with big white dots.
I looked at my alarm clock and it read 5:30 am. Wow, who ever is using all those construction tools must really wants this done. I groaned and dragged my feet to the cafe. As I walked down the hall to the lobby, I smelled eggs and sizzling bacon. Mmm, I followed the fresh smell to the kitchen. I peeked a little and saw Sophie and Colin and they were laughing. Colin was helping her put food on plates. Colin was actually smiling and having fun. It was the first time I had seen him so happy. I left knowing that community breakfast won't be done for a while.
I decided to go out on a walk to see what all the noise was about.
I picked up my rucksack and got the map off my side table Edward had given me. I put it in my pocket and tip toed out the door.
I opened the map and looked at what was marked. I was looking for Rose's house because she said something about construction around her house. I had to go past town hall, cross the river, and through some trees a part of the forest that is Galio. I was walking and looking around. Edward said something about the summer where all the beautiful bugs come out. I passed a few small homes on the way to the town hall. I looked at the names next to them: Pudge, Tangy, Jitters, and Goose.
Wow super weird names. Must be the animals. I looked at each house and read each sign. They will be my neighbors and I will have to meet them all anyway. I felt brave and knocked on the door to the green house. A fat chicken came and opened the door. He had white feathers and was wearing a colorful shirt with lots of flowers on it. He also had a yellow beak and feet.
"Oh hello. Are you new around here?" He said
Surprised that he wasn't clucking at me I answered, "Yeah Nook is building my house so I'm staying at the Bed and Breakfast."
"That's cool. Hey if you need a bud to work out with, just come find me."
That was strange but I went with it.
"Yeah defiantly." I smiled and waved as I walked along again.
Wow, I really am getting out of my shell. Maybe animal neighbors won't be so bad.
