Chapter Nine
Katrina (Kagome)
After school I sat in my room hoping that Samantha was feeling better. Her parents had just left on another business trip; this time to Switzerland I think. Her parents were scientists who were currently working on a medicine to cure leukemia. They were often not home. They hardly even paid attention to Sam or her little brother.
I stared at my room's plain blue walls. With the window open, the sunset reflected off of them and made the room look a dazzling orange-pink color.
My little brother, Safford, entered my room. He had short black hair, and brown eyes that resembled mine. Safford's eyes glinted from the glow of the dim light coming in through the window.
"Hey Sis," Safford started, "Mom said that Korey could come over tomorrow." Korey is Samantha's little brother. He and Safford are in the same grade at school. "Mom wanted me to tell you that you could invite a few friends over. She said that she was sure you'd made some new friends at school."
"Okay," I replied, "thanks Safford."
Tomorrow was Saturday. I took out the new school directory, and started looking for all of my new friends names. I took a pen, and circled the people I liked.
Michael Jones,
Samantha Berring,
Sidney Nate,
Isosceles Tate,
Kenny LeClaire.
I saw another familiar name, "Kimberly Johansson." I met her on the first day of school. I thought of inviting her, but Mom would get mad if I asked too many people to come over.
I continued flipping pages for anyone else I knew. "Noah Dare." I stared at that one page for a moment. The person I could never forgive. What he did to Samantha's brother…
I ripped out that entire page, crumbled it up, and threw it into the tall waste bin as if wasting his name would waste him as well.
I decided to go ahead and call the people I wanted over tomorrow. I called Sam first since her phone number is perfectly etched into my brain. She seemed to have cheered up since today's earlier events. After she hung up I looked in the directory for the people I had circled and called them as well. I got 100% positive feedback. It seemed as though I'd be having an excellent turn out tomorrow.
A/N: Eh, pretty bleak chapter. I should be getting more chapters posted today, since I'm sick and have stayed home from school. I have a lot of spare time on my hands at the moment. Well, I hope you like the story so far and thank you for reading!
