The next morning when I woke up, I saw Dana and Paul entangled around each other. I didn't want to wake them, because I knew they both weren't morning people. So I left a note telling them where I was headed and left. I walked down to a restaurant I'd seen last night. It was all alien themed and not at all fancy. I took a seat in the a booth by the window and waited.
I hate mornings! Why do I have to work a morning shift. I was just arriving at work, late again. I went through the back of the crashdown. I grabbed my pad and walked out.
"Honey you really need an alarm clock!" Liz my sorta aunt said. As I finished my yawn.
"Those things are so annoying!" I commenting finally smiling. She patted my back, and went to the back. I looked for who need service. And my eyes locked with the hottest guy I'd ever seen. He was sitting in the front booth alone. I hope he's not waiting for his girl friend!
"Hey, how can I help you?" Replied the beautiful waitress. I smiled and place my order, trying hard not to stare. After I had eaten I didn't want to leave, afraid I'd never see her again. A group of young teens walked in, and she talked with them for a bit.
"Darce!" They all shouted at me when they walked in, Mark, Caleb, Leila, and Rob. I headed over smiling. They sat in the booth behind my cutie.
"Hey guys" I replied. Walking over to them. Caleb and Rob were my half brothers, each from one parent. Surprisingly they got along well. Mark and Leila were half siblings and got along ok. Mark and I were the closest, because he was only a year younger then me. And when the aliens went back to their planet, he and Leila stayed with us. So he was like a little brother, not that I don't have enough of those!
"Hey, I heard Dad yelling at you last night!" Rob said snickering. Mark looked at me pretending to be disappointed.
"What'd you do now?" Mark asked finally laughing. I was about to reply when Caleb interrupted.
"You better not of gotten Mom mad, cause when she's made there is no tomorrow!" He said looking at me worried.
"All I did was come home at little late…" I said.
"Little late? You were suppose to me home after you shift here, you were back at like eleven" Rob commented. "And your report card came in the mail, and boy you didn't do well…".
"Yeah well at least I don't sneak out!" I said. I was always the one who didn't care, what my parents did. Where as Rob felt he had to be sneaky, to keep there trust. Leila seemed to perk up when I said that.
"I don't!" He wined, I rolled my eyes. Leila seemed quite relieved to hear that.
"These sneaky siblings, I have one too." Mark said, smiling at Leila. We all knew that Leila and Rob had this cute little girlfriend and boyfriend going on. Even though they were only twelve.
"The report cards came in the mail?!" Caleb said still just accepting it. "I'm going to be dead!" He complained, well shaking his head. Refusing to believe it.
"Should of thought of that before you skipped classes!" Replied Leila. I left to go get them their food. When I returned, by beautiful stranger was gone. I picked up the cash he left for the bill, and suddenly smile when I saw a note. I read it silently:
Dear Waitress,
I don't normally do this, but I feel strangely attracted to you, who wouldn't though? Please meet me at the park, tonight at nine. If you can't I understand…
Thanks,
I smile, and folded the letter placing it in my pocket. I finish my shift and got ready to go home. Knowing my parents were ready to give me hell.
"Hey" I called as I walked into my house. I dropped my stuff.
"Hey DarcyMarcy!" I smiled at my little sister Holly. She had been calling me that for ages now.
"Hey Hol!" I replied as she jumped on my back, and I carried her to the kitchen. And plopped her down on the counter. "Hi…" I mumbled to my parents sitting at the table. My Mom gave me her classic smile, while my Dad motioned for me to take a seat. "Where's Tess and Max?" I asked. They were pretty much my step parents, they usually were around at times like these.
"They're talking with Isabel and Michael." My Mom replied, taking a sip of her coffee. I nodded and thought for a minute.
"Something alien related?" I asked laughing. "Are they need back on Antar?" I joked. My parents did not look amused.
"As a matter of fact, Max been having dreams about Zan." Couldn't be. Zan was normal, living with normal people. Right?
"About this report card…" My Mom said giving me a disappointed glance. "Holly, Kailey's next door." My Mom said tempting my sister out of the room. Liz and Alex live next door. Holly sighed, jumped off the counter. Knowing she was getting kicked out, she left.
"Now Darce." My Mom said turning to me. My Dad face softened and he turned to me.
"Where did we go wrong?" My Father said. Uh, maybe when you had all those other children with other people. But, I'd never say that to their faces. They were looking at me to say something.
"I uh, dunno…" I mumbled.
"You didn't do that well, this semester." No shit, I consider failing practically everything doing well.
"Yeah, I know" I said, trying not to give any attitude, but it was hard.
"You know?" My Dad said. "You know how this will affect your future…" I yawned, as he went on about university and such.
"Honey, we've decided that you'll go to school come home, go to work and straight home." I rolled my eyes, great house arrest.
"That's so not fair!" I shouted, standing up. My parents stood up as well.
"This will only go to you can show us you're responsible…" I sighed, responsibly- I hated that word.
"You can't do this to me!" I screamed and ran out. I heard them calling out of me, but I kept going. I knew I went off a little hard, but c'mon they were totally unreasonable.
