Chapter Nine-Alicia's Back and the plan is off

As soon as Annie gets home she runs up to her room and does her homework then she goes downstairs

" Annie come here for a moment will you?" Grace asks politely

Annie walks over to Grace

" So this Molly thing-"

" Oh don't worry about that Duffy called a little while ago and said molly was okay she just is busy"

"Oh okay"

Annie walks to go see her father

" Dad are you still mad at me"

" No you can come in and sit if you want I'm just working on some last minute wedding payments"

Annie runs and sits down two hours later Oliver is finally done with the payments

" Okay kiddo what do you want to do?"

" What do you mean by that?"

" I mean do you want to play a game, talk, play a sport, anything"

" Um…can we talk about this Alicia thing?"

" With Grace?"

Annie nods

"Grace!?"

She runs in

" Yes Oliver?"

" Annie wants to talk to us"

Grace sits down next to Oliver

" Okay I don't know what to do Alicia was my first friend at school and now we're enemies and we fought she said some things I think you should hear she called me an orphan and dad she said you could marry Grace all you want but your still just the help and that's what pushed me over the edge"

" She said that wow Annie it's sweet of you to care about me"

" So that's why you started fighting because of what she said about Grace"

Annie nods and Oliver gives Annie a big hug and then hugs Grace then they do a big group hug

" May I go take a little nap before lunch"

" Go ahead"

About half an hour later Annie wakes up to a knock on her door

" Come in"

" Hi Annie"

"MOLLY!"

Annie rushes out of bed and runs to hug Molly

" What are you doing here"

" Sleepover DUH"

" Oh yeah I forgot but why are you over here so early?

" My parents home school me now so here I am"

" Yea well anyways I'm glad you're here I have so much to tell you"

" Good so do I but first pepper is dating"

" Well she is the oldest out of all of us what's his name"

"His?"

" Yeah it's not a her is it?"

" NO! ARE YOU CRAZY?!"

"No"

"Well the reason I said His! Was because um it's my new big brother"

" No way Molly…Sammy"

" Yeah I know I'm happy for them and all but it's just so weird to see someone who was so mean to me date my brother"

" I can imagine"

" So what's up with you"

" Well you know that Alicia girl?"

" Yeah what about her?"

" She's back"

" She's back!"

" Yeah I got in a fight with her at school but got off with a warring"

" Nice because you're new"

" I guess and because it's my first offence"

" Oh so how's the rest of school?"

" Really good I like one of my teachers he's really nice"

Molly nods and then laughs

" Now that we're not orphans anymore we have nothing to talk about"

Annie nods
