Hey guys.Please keep reviewing.:) Oh and whoevers wondering the father of
Mary's kids is Ben (Kinkirk).Hmmm will Lucy be meeting his brother anytime
soon?Lol just keep reading.
That day Lucy went out in search of a job.Not a big one, but a small paying one.Surprisingly she found one in only a short amount of time, that seemed perfect.It was a job at a local drugstore.She would work in the make-up department.The pay was ok, 10 dollars an hour, it was better than nothing.Then later she took Ray and Jamie downtown.They bought lunch at the promenade and walked around.Lucy showed them the school they would be attending come September (where I come from school starts in Sept so I'm just gonna use that cause I think in some places it starts in August).It would be Jamie's first year of school and she was pretty nervous.Ray, who was going into grade 3 was also nervous because it was a whole new school.
Lucy started work the following Monday.The rest of the summer went by quickly.The girls went to a day camp at the local YMCA.They stayed there when Lucy had to work.Annie insisted that the girls stay home with her but Lucy told her that she wanted them to make friends and have something to do over the summer.They did a bit of school shopping, but Lucy didn't have a lot of money yet so they could only buy a bit.
The first day of school arrived in a blur.With a bit of pleading Jamie got into the van.Ray on the other hand was much more stubborn and refused to get it.After dragging her across the lawn Lucy got her into the van, but not without a lot of force and Ray groped for anything to hang onto.
R:Mom I don't think I should go to school.I think I have a fever.
L:Ray it's going to be fine.You'll make friends and fit in in no time. Lucy pulled over at the school.Come on I have to bring you into the office to make sure they have you put into classes because I registered you over the summer. They slowly walk into the office.
L:Hi I'm here to make sure my daughters Loraine and Jamie-Lynn Camden are put into classes.
Principle: Oh yes you registered them a few weeks ago didn't you?
L:Yes. Principle checks his computer.
P:Yes, Loraine is in Mrs. Wilton's third grade class in room 5 and Jamie- Lynn is in Ms. Kaiser's kindergarden class in room 11.I can bring the girls to their class's now.
L:Ok thanks.
P:No problem.
L:Ok girls, I have to go now.Don't worry everything will be fine.I'll be here waiting for you outside after school. She hugs both of her girls.
J:Please mommy stay.I don't want to go to school.I'll miss you.
R:Yeah, I say we ditch today and go to the mall or something.
L:Umm you're 8 not 18.No you can't "ditch" class.And I don't want to hear you talking about ditching school anymore.It'll be fine, you'll make new friends.
R:Easy for you to say.All you have to do is leave us here.It's easy for you.Don't you remember going to school?
L:I know you guys are scared but you're getting worked up for nothing.Relax and have fun.What about recess.There's a whole playground out there.
R:Fine leave.But I better get something for this.Bribery works good.
L:Hehe.Just go and we'll see what we can do tonight. The girls were led to their classes.First Ray was sent into her class.The bell had just rung so kids were still filing into the class so she tried to blend in.Although her plan didn't work and the teacher noticed her and she had to do the thing where you talk about where you lived before and all that.
The kindergarden class basically played all day just so the kids could get used to school.Lots of kids wouldn't let go of their parents.Jamie felt much better once Lyndsey (Mary's daughter) got there.The cousins stuck together all day. When the bell rang kids started shouting and laughing and ran out of the school.Lucy sat outside on the benches in the park waiting for Jamie and Ray.
L:Hey guys!How was your first day?
J:Wellllll, it was ok.I got to play with modelling clay, blocks, color, paint, and me and Lundsey played house.
L:See you'll always have at least one person to play with.So it wasn't as bad as you thought?
J:I guess not.But that doesn't mean you were right.Lots of kid were crying and their mommys stayed there with them.
L:Well see you didn't need me.You were a big girl.How was your day Ray?Make any new friends?
R:Cassie let me hang out with her and her friends, but they're kind of weird.
L:We don't call people weird.
R:Ok so they're strange.Whatever, I don't need them.
L:That's good.Did you read my note in your lunch box? (Lucy had put a little note in Ray's lunchbag just telling her to have a good day.It was just something to make her feel better.)
R:Yah, it was so sweet (sarcastically).
L:Hey I'm trying here to be a good mother Ray.I know you can't forget the past, but I'm starting over.I'm trying.Do you think you could cut me a little slack.
R:Whatever.Let's go home.(walks to the car)
L:(sighs)Let's go Jamie.
J:I think you're a good mommy.
L:Thanks baby girl.
