Chapter 10: "How Could You NOT Love Him?!"
JOLIE'S POV-
Well, what can I say? I'm a genius.
I found my Dad, made friends, learned 'some' French and found that true happiness comes from being with the people that love you.
Whatever that means...
Just a few days ago I went into a French meatery and I said "Un Kilo En Pulls" which means a kilo of jumpers. I meant to ask for chicken...I guess I don't know French as well as I thought...
France is nice. But America is even better.
I want to be home. And finally Mommy and Daddy will be taking me back.
My parents aren't married yet, but they will be. My father bought my mom a huge ring, which weighs so much...her finger can't even hold it! So, me being the amazing tech wiz that I am, suggested she put the ring around a chain and around her neck. She loved the idea.
Remember Heidi? Well she turned out to be the daughter of an amazing guy! And guess who that guy is? Come on ..guess!
MY UNCLE!! Pierre Donnely is my unlce. My mom found out about a brother she had. Laila (who is my charmed grandmother) finally admitted to everyone that she had another kid and that my mom wasn't an only child. So that means--drum roll please--that my best friend/ partner in crime is MY COUSIN!!
Unlce Piiieerrrrrrreeeeeee, is very rich. He's also a very peculiar man, he collects sponges. I think he watched that show about sponges too much. Spandar Squartrousers...or Spongenub Squareskirts or something like that...
He gave me a car for my 17th birthday, which I can't drive...because I don't have my learners permit or a liscence... HEY! It's not my fault I crash into everything! I am NOT a recipie for disaster...I am just different.
Heidi is comming to live with me in my new home in America. She's staying for a year because Uncle Spongeman is leaving for some job thing. I think it may involve sponges...you never know. So if you want a mental picture of them both think about Luna and Xenophilus (or how ever you spell it) Lovegood, from Harry Potter. They're a great example.
"Ello'! Jolie!" Heidi comes into my room. "What's with all the boxes?"
"Moving, remember?" I close my laptop and smile. "You're comming too"
"Oh...right" Heidi smiles and rolls her eyes.
"You're going to get to meet Adam..."
"I've seen pictures." Heidi smirks "He's cute"
"I don't think so" I roll my eyes. "We're just friends.."
Heidi narrows her eyes at me. "Riighhtt"
"Seriously! You don't beleive me?" I grab a pillow.
"And what if I don't?" she asks placing her freshly manicured hands on her hips.
"Then I'd have to do this!" I throw the pillow at her face.
--TIME LAPSE--
I yawn. I am extremely tired and I'm watching TV. Or at least trying to...
"Come on" Heidi tugs at me sleeve. "Let's go finish packing"
"Ugh! I don't want to work" I sink deeper into the couch.
She pulls something from her pocket. "Beef jerky!" she waves it in my face and walks away.
"I'm comming!" I run after her and grab the jerky off of her hands and begin to chew. This is some jerky.
I see my dad roll his eyes as he walks into my room. "Hey Dad"
"Hey, having fun?" he asks.
"Kind of" I say shoving more jerky into my mouth. "This stuff is great!"
"I'll bet" he laughs. "You're just like Sam"
"Yupp. You know what they say, Like Mother like Daughter..or whatever" I shove the rest of it into my mouth.
He rolls his eyes. "Hey, Uncle Freddie?" asks Heidi.
Oh yeah, ever since we found out we were cousins that's what she's been doing calling everyone UNCLE and AUNT. But I don't have a problem with it...much.
"Yeah?"
"You mind grabbing some Chinese food on your way out of the house?"
"You're in France and you want Chinese?" he asks. He was leaving anyway. Dad is going to work today and picking up some fast food because sadly the only edible stuff form my mom's cuisine are her pastries. Sad...but true.
"Yeah!" we answer simultaneously, like it's the ovbious answer. We look at each other and laugh.
"Alright.." he starts to leave.
"Hey Dad," I call.
"Yeah?"
"Do I get a hug?" I ask extending my arms.
"Of course," he encases me in a hug. I seriously love my father I mean LOOK at him! He's great! What's NOT to love!?
"Love you Dad" I say as he leaves.
"Love you too" he opens the door and leaves. I smile.
Heidi is standing on the door way. "Aren't you mushy today?"
"Shut up!" I throw the object nearest to me. It just so happens to be an alarm clock. Sadly I miss.
"Hey!" she says "That could've hurt me!"
I walk into my closet. "That's the point,my friend, that's the point.."
She stands there with her mouth wide-open. "You stink"
I smell myself. "No I don't"
She narrows her eyes. "Whatever"
"I think the term is 'you suck', which I also don't do" I smile and fold some clothes. There is a first time for everything.
"You're preverted" she says.
"Whose preverted?" asks my mom as she walks in and sits on my bed.
"Jolie"
"Oooh" Mom rolls her eyes. "How's the packing comming along?"
"Great" Heidi says "Just 3 more suitcases and we're good to go"
My mom makes a face. "Okay..."
"Hey, Mom?" I say "Dad's bringing Chinese for dinner"
"Why?" she asks "I made..."
"Something that isn't edible" I shake my head.
Her mouth widens. "I also made brownies but I guess that's not edible either" she walks out.
Brownies? I love BROWNIES. And I swear to you, my mother makes THE BEST BROWNIES EVER.
"Brownies?" Heidi and I say.
"Yupp, but you said--"
We run swiftly pass my dear mother and into the kitchen. She's laughing her butt off.
"You might get poisoned!"
"I...(munch)...dont...(munch)...care!!" The brownie is too good to be a brownie. It surpasses all brownies ever. Move over Martha Stewart and Rachel Ray and whatever...there's a new cook in town and it's not my mom! She may be the best pastry chef but of cooking...please don't torture me.
Love my mom, hate her cooking. On the other hand, Laila isn't so bad. She doesn't let anyone call her Grandma cuz it makes her feel old, so she says we can all call her Laila. I don't really care, to be honest. --

SUBJECT: HEY OPEN THIS!
I'm glad you're finally comming back, I missed you. Your dad e-mailed me and we talked for a while.Don't worry, there was no "WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS WITH MY DAUGHTER" thing. He's cool. He knows we're only friends.:(. We IM'd for a good hour. He's great.
See you soon,
Love,
Adam
That's exactly what Adam wrote. Must he write 'LOVE' after every letter?

SUBJECT: RE: HEY OPEN THIS!
You are such a loser. You talked to my dad? And you ask me why I call you a geek? Indeed (lol), my dad is really cool. He's chill like that.
You IM'd for an hour? What is wrong with you?
C'ya!
Bye geek-o,
Jolie
He's a lost cause. I've done all I could do, but he's...he's just hopeless.
--
A/N: She's going back! They whole Heidi thing, it wasn't as big...as anticipated but, I think it couldn't have been because it would change the whole course of the story if I had done it the way I had originally planned it.
Plus, I love the idea off Heidi's wacky dad. He's snazzyful.
They're like sisters anyway. They remind me of me and my own sisters (when she visits). It's funny. Only my sis is like 7 yrs younger...ahahhaha. Love her tho!
Adam is a geek...but will he still be a geek for Jolie when she gets back?
