CHAPTER ONE: stevie, saturday 11:57 a.m.
I looked out my window and cringed. I can't believe Mom and
Dad are doing this to me! I thought to myself, Why? Mom doesn't
even like her sister and brother-in-law. Why should I? I mean really -
why?!?
Let me back up and explain my mood... It's June now and I'm
on an airplane to visit my going on a vacation on my own (I have to
admit, that is a nice thought). Mom and Dad decided to go on a cruise
(they actually got time off!!!), but my mom and dad set this all up for
me, so I had no choice but to come. Ugh! And it's not like it's a
week, oh no. It's the whole summer. And also, it's not like it's
anywhere fun! It's my Aunt and Uncle (my only Aunt and Uncle)'s
house in Peach Creek. It's not like they're bad or anything. Oh no -
JUST THAT THEY NEVER SEEM TO BE HOME AND WOULD DIE
WITHOUT POST-IT NOTES!!! I'm dead serious, that's how my Aunt,
Uncle, and Cousin Edward communicate.
And another thing -Edward. What a dork he is! His name is
Edward (note: one 'd') but he goes by Edd (note: two 'd's). I'm sorry,
but that's kinda weird.
Also, I've NEVER met him, my aunt, or my uncle. Though I
know all about them, I've still never met them. The only reason I
know anything is because of all my parent's complaining about them;
post-it notes and all. And because I email Edd -which my parents
make me do, it's their way of 'keeping in touch'. Not to mention my
cousin can't even write a decent email! Here's how his last one was
(I've memorized it because of its dang lameness):
"To: CoffeeFreek@yahoo.com
From: DSquared@hotmail.com
Subject: Trip
Dear Stephanie,"
Dude, he calls me Stephanie! Hello? All my friends call me Stevie!!!
NOT NICE! Every time he does, I call him Edward. Hee hee. Even
the littlest revenge is sweet!
"I am ever-so looking forward to your visit. It shall be very
intriguing! We'll ('we' being my friends Ed, Eddy, and myself)"
Dude, how weird is that? His best friend's names are Ed and Eddy.
Ed, Edd, and Eddy? WEIRD! No wonder he goes by 'Edd', Ed
already had his name!
"be there to pick you up at the airport in time, no need to worry little
cousin!"
Another thing -little cousin? Hello??? I'm only six days younger than
him!!!
"With love,
Double-D"
Also, he goes by 'Double-D'! How lame is that? He tells me that's
because of Ed having his name. I actually wrote him back, asking if
that stood for 'Double Dork' and he said no. Oh well, that's what I'll
call him! Hee hee.
"We'll be landing in five minutes," A voice said over the
intercom while the seat belt sign went on. I looked at the sign and
then back to outside.
