Yeah! I finally finished chapter 2, it was pretty hard to do actually but
it was fun all the same. How did you like the first chapter? It wasn't
exactly my "finest work" but it gets pretty close. Okay, as I've said
before this isn't my first fan fiction, I've done others but in my opinion
they weren't exactly pieces of art. I hope this story is better than the
last few ones I've put up. In case you're wondering, I'm a beginner. I
hardly use big words, I try but it's kind of hard to put those big words in
a sentence with other small words so, this may seem like 3rd grade work.
Hehe. Okay, I'll cut to the chase, Shannon finally does admit to the BSC
that she is starting to go out with Bart and of course Kristy is shocked, I
won't say anymore because I'm going to give the chapter away. Well,
Shannon, Abby, and Kristy have arrived at the Kishi's and it's a beautiful
and bright afternoon:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Chapter 2
It was a bright afternoon as we ran from the junk bucket (Charlie's car) through the Kishi's front hall, up the steps and into her room. Stacey, Dawn, Claud, and Mary Anne were seated on the bed, Mal and Jessi were on the floor. Once Abby, Kristy, and I found our seats (Kristy as always in Claudia's director chair, Abby on the floor with Mal and Jessi, I sat on a stool next to the bed.)
"Will this meeting of the Baby-Sitter's Club come to order?" Kristy hollered. A pencil stuck over one ear, and a clipboard in her left hand. We all snapped to attention as Kristy said, "Any club business?" We all shook our heads. "Have you all been reading the club notebook?" She inquired. We all nodded our heads vigorously. Suddenly, the phone sounded loudly. Jessi reached for it, "Hi Baby-Sitter's Club, what can I do for you?" she stopped and then nodded, "Okay, yeah, mm-hmm, okay, okay, I'll call you right back Mrs. Rodowsky." She hung up the phone.
"Well?" Dawn questioned.
"Mrs. Rodowsky needs a sitter for Friday afternoon, two fifteen to five fifteen. For Shea and Archie..." Jessi sat back down simply.
Mary Anne grabbed the record book, "Let's see, Kristy you have a Krusher's game, Claud has an art class, hmm... It's only Mal, Dawn, and Stacey."
Mal smiled. "You take the job Dawn. I know you're saving up for those earrings."
Dawn shook her head, "Nah, Mal you can take it. You have wanted that book collection since forever..."
"Do you mind if I take it? I haven't sat for the Rodowsky's in awhile.." Stacey asked both.
Dawn and Mal nodded as Mary Anne penciled in the job. After Stacey called back Mrs. Rodowsky to let her know that she would be the one who was sitting, Claud offered all of us some ring-dings, and she passed soda- crackers to Dawn and Stace. Again the phone rang for another job tomorrow at the Perkins house, Claud took it. Another ring for Saturday, the Newtons, Kristy took it. Another ring for the Pikes just Vanessa, Claire and, the triplets (there are 8 kids in the Pike family including Mal. It's Mal (11), Adam, Jordan, Bryon (the triplets who are 10), Vanessa (9), Nicky(8), Margo(7), and Claire(5).) that Dawn and Jessi got since Mal was busy with her orthodontist.
Mimi knocked the door loudly, "Hello girls, my Claudia your friends must leave in 10 minutes. I may need help with dinner. Would any of you girls want something to eat or drink?"
We all shook our heads politely. She left the room without hesitation and we were by ourselves again.
"You guys, do you think you'd like to come over? My Mom is holding a big cocktail party on Saturday night and she said she'd like if you'd come." Dawn asked.
"Oh yeah, that's right." Mary Anne nodded.
"Is it helping out with the kids that'll be there or something? Or can we really bring dates and stuff." I asked.
"Oh no, nothing like watching the kids. It's Dad, he had a promotion. It's supposed to be formal we're helping her decorate. Richard even said about putting a disco ball in the barn..." Dawn and Mary Anne giggled.
"I'll be there, I could bring Pete." Stace said fingering a lock of her golden shaggy mane.
Claud smiled, "What a great idea you guys. I'll ask Alan if he'd like to go," Claud smiled.
Kristy coughed, "Alan?"
Claudia and Mary Anne giggled, Claudia finally said, "Kristy we only know one Alan."
Jessi said she had a rehearsal and couldn't go, besides her parents would never hear of letting her go to a late night party. Mal said the same thing. Everyone looked at Kristy, Abby, and me.
"What?" I shrugged.
"I'll probably just hang around Mary Anne." Kristy concluded.
"That sounds fine Kristy, but I'm going to be dancing with Logan." Mary Anne let out a soft chuckle.
"I'll just stay for a bit, a cocktail does sound fun." Abby grinned at the possibilities.
Everyone glanced at me, "I could ask somebody."
"Who's the somebody Shannie?" Kristy lightly punched me.
"Yeah?" Claud suddenly interested.
"He's a nobody," I said quietly and pretty embarrassed.
"Doesn't sound like one Ms. Kilbourne." Stacey giggled lightly.
"Who is he, Shannon?" Mary Anne's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"He goes to my school..." I put my hands together nervously.
"Stoneybrook Day?" Kristy inquired.
"Yes," I replied looking at her, "The nobody is Bart Taylor." I said shaking.
For a moment nobody spoke, finally Stacey and Mal said, "Congratulations." Claudia did the same. Mary Anne just gave me a hopeful grin, Abby and Jessi hugged and gave the thumbs up, Dawn just beamed and gave me a huge hug. I watched out for Kristy, "T-th-that's good." She finally managed.
"Thanks Kristy." I smiled at her.
She returned the smile but it took awhile for her to, once the meeting was over everybody piled out of Claud's room and out the door. Abby, Kristy, and me just sat on the porch and waited for Charlie. Abby saw me looking at the floor and Kristy at her shoes. "Kristy it is okay for Shannie to see Bart right? I mean you guys did break up over a month ago."
I just shot Abby a death glare, and Kristy just stared, "I'm sorry Shannie. I should've been more happy for you, a hearty congratulations, OKAY?" She said the last word with an evil eye for emphasis. "Sorry, I'm happy for you. Oh, here comes Charlie. Let's go!" Kristy said leaving the question hanging.
"Sorry." Abby muttered.
"It's fine," I smiled at her, "I sort of expected this from Kristy." I admitted.
"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll get over it soon." Abby said hopefully.
"Yeah, me too..." I said as I slid in and closed the door behind me. The trip back home was solemn and really quiet... Abby was dropped off first, Kristy and I both hugged and said good- bye. When I got dropped off, Kristy just said good-bye and I'll see you at the cock-tail but no hug or shake or smile... I nodded and waved good bye. Kristy and Charlie pulled off my driveway and off to the Brewer-Thomas house.
As I kicked off my sneakers and just dropped to the couch Mom stuck her head in the door, "How was the meeting honey?"
I shook my head as if to say "No" but I just nodded and said it was, "Just fine,"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Well I hoped you like it. To all the people out there who love Kristy this is pretty hard to take in. I know, I think Kristy is the most fantastic character but without Kristy being jealous/mad about Shannon and Bart seeing each other, this story wouldn't seem realistic. In this case, she did go out with Bart for awhile but broke up a few months after, now a month later she finds out that he's going out with her neighbor and fellow club member, Shannon Kilbourne. Now, if you liked it review, if you hated it feel free to review, remember constructive criticism is always welcomed. No flames please!
