Chapter 18
Thanksgiving,
who ever said you had to be thankful!
Thanksgiving. Isn't that a holiday were your supposed to be thankful for what you had? What if you don't have anything to be thankful for, or the thing your thankful for is so small you don't even bother to thank whoever for it. What do you do then. Just sit infront of the T.V. and cry your worries away? Or do you go to your friends wearing a mask pretending that you are thankful for something?
Filia sighed as she looked outside. All the leaves were golden. Each one fell to the ground seperatly. Frost had alreays blanketed the windows of the cars and her window. Cars passed by the ice crunching under neath their wheels. The faint hum of the T.V. was overcome of the noise of her father's snoring. She hopped of the top of her bunk bed and landed beside her drawer. Her clothes were scattered all over the floor and her sheets were all in a knot at the foot of her bed. She was wearing black spandex pants and a baggy pink sweater. Her hair was up in apony tail. This was becasue today was cleaning day, and the after that it was Thanksgiving dinner. They had it ever year, but ever year was the same food, cold turkey from a box and bread with ater of milk( if there was any left). Your proably wondering how Filia can by all this expensive clothing an be poor. It's because she had a part time job at a restaurant and when ever someone needed help in the apartement she would help, for a price.
"Hey Fifi you up?" said a small voice. A tiny head popped in fro the frame.
"Ya i'm up Sarah." Sarah was Filia's younger sister. She was smaller but more atractive than Filia. She was really skinny. She had blonde hair like Filia's and she had lighter blue eyes. Sarah was the total opposite of her sister. She was very calm when she was at school but at home she was a livving nithgmare. Mabey that's why she got beaten up more than Filia.
There mom was at a job interview this morning, she was going to be a vet. Most of the money the had went to there mom's universtiy fund. There father wasn't to happy about this. Their father and mother's names were Saron and Celo. They had meet throught high school and married when Celo graduated. Saron never graduated thought he only made it up to grade 11. That's why Celo's family never really liked him. They moved out of the town and moved to the big city. They had Filia and Sarah here and lived. Saron soon became an alchoolic and began to abuse his kids. He had more jobs then a cats have lives in one year so right now he was jobless. Saron had spiky blonde hair and was well buit considering in was an extreme alchoolic. And he had green eyes. Celo had long white hair and blue eyes. She was tall but not as tall as her husband and she was just the right size.
"Come on we have to wake dad up!"
"Do it yourself," Filia moaned tossing her pillow at Sarah. She caught it in mid air and threw it back at Filia who had her head sunk right into her bed." Fine fine i'm comming," she mumbbled as she lugged her self out of bed. The hallways were scattered with clothes and the wall paper was chipping and pelling off. It was good anywasy it was an ugly brown color anyways. Sarah was already sitting in the couch across from ther slumbering dad. He had been watching T.V and fell asleep, this was the result of staying up all night watching re-runs of Star Trek and drinking till you drop. Filia poked her dad several times before she got a reaction out of him. Which was him flaring his arms around as if he was being stung by bees and then he swore. His eyes were droppy but never the less open. He got up and swayed before he clumsly made his way down the halle and slammed the bath room door shut.
"Well he's up and at 'em," Sarah said as she rolled her eyes. Filia just smirked. Mabey she did have something to be thankful for.....

Lina joltted as she felt the sting of a wet towel snap at her thigh.
"Stop day dreaming and start striing," said her sister as she waited for the turkey to finish. Lina rolled her eyes as she continued to whip the patatoes. Her sister was sitting by the window at the bulit in island( form of table). She held her towel as if it was a whip. Lina shivered. Her sister had always been a litte strict especailly when their parents died. It had been 11 years since then. Luna had always been a littel bit of a bully. She knew that Lina hated slugs for some reason, but tased and threatend her relentlessly with them. Mabey it was she was just being a bully or mabey it was her only way of kepping Lina in line, doubtfully though. She had hit Lina once in a while when she was in alot of trouble.
"Hey Luna?"
"What?"
"What are you thankful for?" she asked. Scilence filled the room. Great Lina thought now she was in for it. She tensed as she heared her sister get out of the chair, but she relaxed as her sister gave her a hug.
"What do you think silly?"
"You kitchen?" Lin teased her sister gave her a mocking glare and smacked her again with the towel. Lina rubbed her side in pain, and then they both started to laugh....

Zel was sitting on his bed, his hand behind his head. He was starinf at the blank ceiling the music blaring into his ears. Rezo had invited some firends over adn they were havving a party. A small knock on the door was drownded out by the music. Zel eys glanced at his door and just shruged off the noise as if he hadn't heard it. Rezo walked in. He sighed hearing Zel's muisc. He walked over to his bed and sat at the end. Zelgadis turned his music off and pulled his earphones around his neck.
"I'll have my food delivered to me in my room." Rezo laughed.
"Always the sarchastic on aren't you. You got that from your dad."
"Great to know, if i had a penny every time i heard that one i wouldn't be here right now."
"Really were would you be then?"
"Some where away from you," he snapped turning around so he was facing the wall.
"Come now Zelgadis, no need to be so hostile. Why don't you join us?"
"Beacuse I don't need to waste my time frlocking around a bunch of adulst who have nothing better to do than gossip about there students and kids." Rezo got up and walked to the door. Just before he left he turend around.
"Well if that's how you see it then... Happy Thanksgiving," he said with a sad tone in his voice. He clicked the door shut. The consistant hum of people's voices rang in his ear. He rolled onto his stomach and closed his eyes, his music turning back on.
"Happy Thanksgiving."
