*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 5: Never judge a book by its cover
The next week wasn't exactly the happiest one of my life. No one at school would talk to me, not even Jan. Rosetta and Bianca must have made up some story about me because everyone was ignoring me and they all gave me funny looks and whispered about me behind my back. I'm not a freak or anything, I don't know what their problem is, can't they just let it go?
I was fed up with it by the end of the week. I needed consolation. My brother, Hugo, had phoned on the Wednesday, to say that he was coming on Monday, at 1:00 and that I had to get my mum away. Where though? I had no mode of transport in which to pick him up either. Just great. Monday came quickly.
"I'm going shopping ok, I'll be back later, about 3. Bye" My mum said hurriedly as she walked out the door. Shopping on her birthday? Oh well, I breathed a sigh of relief. I could go and get Hugo now. The only problem was transport. What if he has a huge suitcase? Oh well, it'll have wheels, we'll walk. It isn't that far to the airport.
I went out the door, locking it as I went. The sun was beating down on the ground, making steam rise from the puddles. It had rained, again. The walk to the airport took about ½ an hour. It was a reasonable distance, but it was down hill going there, the only problem was it was up-hill coming back. I arrived at the airport at about 11:30. I made my way to the arrivals lounge.
To my surprise, I saw Enrique there. I went and sat next to him.
"Hi" I said "Why are you here?"
He looked up, "Oh! Hello" He didn't have the usual smile on his face, he looked quite pale actually," I'm waiting for my guests, they should be here any minute" And sure enough, there was the sound of a very loud voice and an irritating laugh approaching as 4 people walked around a corner and towards Enrique.
"And so I was saying" one of them said. I watched them as they approached. The one who had spoken seemed to have no eyes, but that's not possible. Instead he seemed to have a pair of over-sized glasses perched on top of his hair." If you re-calibrate the mechanism inside the machine, then it'll work perfectly" They stopped just in front of us
"Hey, Enrique, nice of you to invite us dude, I can't wait to eat some of that great food you're cooking us" Shouted one of them. He was wearing a blue, white and red baseball-hat, back to front and had a big cheesy grin on his face
"Tyson!" Said the first one, with no eyes, "Is all you ever think about food?"
"Sure Kenny, why not!" He replied, jumping up and down
"Calm down, we'll get kicked out if you're not careful, now come on, there's loads of food back at my house" Enrique said, standing up.
"Okay, but as long as you have ketchup, we'll be fine" A blond person added, he then started laughing and man his laugh is irritating.
"Don't forget me, I want some of that food too" A guy with long black hair in a pony-tail said this. He was laughing along with the rest of them.
"It's a shame Kai couldn't make it" Enrique said, looking around the group, "Oh well, let's go" He started walking away
"Hey, where are those girls you always hang around with?" the blond one asked. Enrique stopped and turned around again.
"Oh them, never mind," He said, shrugging it off, "We'd better get going. By the way guys, this is Natalie" He pointed at me and introduced them all in turn. "Well better be going, see you around" He then walked off with the rest of them, who were dragging their suitcases after them, asking him a lot of questions.
I waited for what seemed like ages, the television screen said that Hugo's flight was on time, but he still hadn't arrived. I got fed up pretty quickly. I decided to leave when he appeared, finally.
He walked over, giving evils at security; obviously, he'd had a bit of trouble. As he walks over, I noticed that he'd had his hair cut, previously, it had been longer than mine, but now it was short, it looked better.
"Hello" Hugo said cheerfully, when he reached where I was standing, "So, how are you?"
"Been better," I said, not lying. "Come on, you're late, we need to get home."
He looked tired and grumbled for a minute. I suppose that he had just been on a long flight, but we really needed to be home before mum got back.
"Alright then, where's the car parked?" He asked, looking around hopefully once we were out of the airport
"Who was going to drive it?" I asked him, "You know mum isn't here, and I can't drive, you can, but it's not like I'm going to be able to wheel it here or something."
We then began the up-hill climb, an hour later, we were back home again. It had taken longer to walk back home, obviously, as it was up-hill.
It was now 2 o'clock. We had got back an hour ago and I showed Hugo to his room, ok, the living room, we don't have a lot of space and then I went to find Pumpkin.
Mum still wasn't back by 3:30, I was slightly worried, but when the door rang, I relaxed a bit. To my surprise, it was Piddlesworth, Enrique's butler.
"Master Enrique requests your presence at his house tonight. The master is throwing a party this evening, with some guests and would like to know if you wish to attend."
"Oh, umm, what time is it?" I saw my mum walking up the path, with a lot of shopping bags, great.
"If you have in-sufficient means of transport, then we will send a limousine at 7:00, if you do not require the use of our vehicles, then be there by 7:15 at the latest. What shall I tell the master?"
I glanced at my mum, she then nodded, "Tell him I'll come" I said, smiling " and that I'm looking forward to meeting his guests" Piddlesworth nodded and walked away. He then turned around
"Will you be requiring a limousine?"
"I suppose so, seeing as how I don't know where he lives"
"Alright, be waiting outside at 7:00 then"
"I will" He walked away and got into another limo. How many do they have? I entered the house and my mum followed. I then said the word that informed Hugo that mum was in the house, 'Hippo'
"What did you say?" My mum asked, puzzled
"Nothing much" I said quietly, as I dragged my mum into the front room
Two hours later, I found all my belongings chucked out of my room, and that I am now being made to sleep in the front room. Apparently, Hugo deserves a proper bed after such a long flight. She's just trying to disguise the fact that she likes him better.
My mum basically exploded with happiness when she saw Hugo. For goodness sake, we saw him pretty recently, it's not like he's missed that badly. Ok, so I'm jealous, if I went away for a while, my mum probably wouldn't even notice.
Mum has been talking constantly for years, it seems, she won't shut up about his hair, it's not that big a deal. I'm now sitting in the shed, down the bottom of the garden; It's now kind of a sanctuary. I just sit here, being quiet and watching the spiders. At least I'll properly get away from her later; I need to get ready soon.
By 6:30, my mum had finally shut up, I think that her throat got hoarse and Hugo was getting crushed from her constant hugs. I finally got a chance to go upstairs and enter my room. It looked so empty now; I went to the wardrobe and wondered what to wear.
The 'guests' Enrique had didn't look like the sort of people to wear really posh clothes. So I won't either. Although I don't really know what Piddlesworth meant by 'party' I'll just wear something normal and look like an idiot if they're wearing posh stuff, but I don't care. People don't usually judge by what you wear, right?
They were right on time; mum didn't even notice me go out the door, I don't know if that's a bad thing though. The journey took about 15 minutes; I sat all by myself in the back of the limo, feeling really stupid.
We finally arrived, my suspicion about who the big house belonged to, was correct. It was Enrique's. I walked up to the gates, they were made of what looked like iron, but at closer inspection, seemed to sparkle, so I wasn't sure. They were very big and twirled around in intricate patterns.
I glanced to the left and saw that the blimp was still resting in the nearby field. The driver got out of the car and pressed a buzzer next to the gates. They swung open and I followed him up the long path to the huge front door.
He pressed another button and an un-seen force, probably automatic, opened the doors. The house was huge; at least 4 storeys high, with lots of windows, lights glowed from each of the windows except from the ones on the top floor. I entered through the big wooden doors and was met by a marble staircase and chandeliers. Impressive.
The driver then led me down a long corridor filled with oil paintings glaring down at me from the walls. I glanced into the passing rooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room, all the normal rooms in a house, just a bit bigger. I felt a little out of place.
We eventually reached a door at the end of a corridor,
"In here," The butler said, leaving me outside the door. I pushed it open. Inside the room were 8 people. There were the four I recognised from earlier and Enrique of course. Three other people were there as well, one had his feet up on the furniture, which another was giving a disapproving glance at. The third one was sitting talking to Enrique. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that they were all wearing normal clothes.
"Hey Natalie, come in, make yourself at home," Enrique shouted over to me, and waved. I walked over to him and the other person. I sat down and Enrique introduced me to everyone, pointing to them in turn,
"That's Tyson, Kenny, Max and Ray over there, they were part of the blade breakers, but after the world championships, the team split up, but they're still friends. You know them already right? That's Johnny over there, with his feet up and Robert's the guy with the purple hair. We're all supposed to be a team, but we don't believe in that nonsense, oh and this is Oliver" He gestured to the person sitting next to him. Oliver? But isn't that a boys name? That person's a girl though. I'm sure of it. Maybe not then.
The evening progressed quite quickly, we had a meal, which was not Italian, and it was bliss. Some of them have terrible eating habits, especially Tyson. He's a real slob. He was shovelling food into his mouth, with ketchup on everything of course. So did Max and Ray, Kenny spent most of his time scolding them, which they blatantly ignored.
Johnny made no effort to eat and Robert sat there drinking tea. Enrique and Oliver were still talking, if I'd wanted to her endless banter, I would have stayed home. It got more fun later. I went with the 'blade breakers' and we went into the kitchen and sprayed squirty cream at each other. While the rest of them talked some more and drank tea.
These guys are so much more fun than the rest of them; we had generally just squirted or threw anything at each other that we could find. I was laughing so much that I forgot where I was until during our tomato fight, Tyson broke a vase. It smashed as soon as it fell to the ground, it looked really expensive. We hurriedly debated what to do
"Just hide it, they'll never notice, they have so many here," Max whispered as we stood in a semi circle to inspect the damage.
"We should fess up," Ray said, looking worried, "Otherwise, when they find out about it later, we'll be in even more trouble"
"Yeah, we might not be able to get any more great food" Tyson exclaimed, looking genuinely worried for the first time.
"Well, what if we just run?" Kenny suggested
"No good" I said, becoming more and more anxious
"We piece it back together?" Max added
"Too hard" We continued coming up with useless suggestions, until we just laughed it off as the suggestion became more and more useless and hid the pieces of china in a cupboard
"They have so many cupboards, they'll never find it!" Tyson said as we hurried off, back to the room we started off in. It wasn't until 11:00 that I actually went home.
We had just played kiddie games until that time, like hide and seek. These took ages because the house was so huge. The rest of them didn't join in, Enrique looked as if he wanted to, but the rest of them, especially Robert, looked very disapproving and complained about the noise. Oliver occasionally laughed, but soon stopped when Robert hushed him, he seemed to be the leader.
When I got back home, after riding in the limo again, still laughing because of Tyson and Max's terrible karaoke singing to various songs, the house was quiet and very dark. I quietly made my way to the living room, so I wouldn't wake them up. I took a while to fall asleep, I was still thinking of Enrique's expression as he watched us run around and throw things.
Maybe next time he has guests around, he won't invite those certain guests, and then he can join in and have some fun.
