"True Colors"
Chapter 3: To the Baker's we go
It had been three days since that night Sarah called her. Shanuh rode up the street on her skateboard. She looked at a big house to her right. She knew that's where the Baker's lived. When she got up to the entrance, she got off her skateboard and held the end of it in her right hand. Shanuh walked up the concrete path up to the door where she knocked. A girl with blonde hair answered it.
"Hello?" The girl said, who went by Lorraine Baker.
"I'm Shanuh Jenson. Is Sarah here?" Shanuh said.
"Yeah, come on in." Shanuh followed her into the main room of the house. "SARAH! SHANUH'S HERE!"
Sarah came halfway down the stairs and looked at Shanuh.
"Hey." she said.
"Hey." Shanuh said, being a bit shier than normal.
"We can go upstairs if you want."
"O.K." Shanuh said and walked up the stairs and followed Sarah.
Everyone was doing their own thing. Mike, Jake, Kyle, and Nigel were playing roller hockey. Kim and Jessica were putting their newest book review on their door. Lorraine was heading into the bathroom to put more makeup on and Mark was chasing after his new frog. Henry was playing his clarinet, rather badly. Shanuh and Sarah headed to Sarah's room.
"He's better in band right?" Sarah asked, referring to Henry as they passed his door.
"Right." Shanuh said, with a bit of a laugh. "Man, your parents sure don't care if you guys have friends over."
"Friends? What friends?" Sarah asked, Shanuh gave her an odd look.
"You know, all these people you have what, 4, 5 siblings?"
"Try 11." Sarah said, opening her bedroom door.
"11? Really? So 12 kids live in this house?" Shanuh asked, following her in.
"Well 12 people DO live in here. But only 10 kids. My older sister, Nora, moved out and My older brother, Charlie is in college." Sarah said.
"Oh." Shanuh said.
"Well anyways, we better got to work, this thing is due next week." Sarah said. "Do you got the script?"
"Yeah, I do." Shanuh looked around her room. IT was nice, not the way she would of styled it, but it was nice.
"O.K. good. Well need bother. Now what will we set this in? I say just normal days, like now." Sarah suggested.
"Yeah, be glad you have a lot of siblings. They could be some of our characters." Shanuh said, listening to the buzz of all of the Baker kids in the hall of something.
"Sarah said.
"Call me Shay. All my friends do. I'd rather go by that than Shanuh." Shanuh said. "Now back on subject, I would never let my brothers be in something like this."
"Speaking of your brother's, Do they got a problem with my brother, Mark? I was suppost to ask." Sarah asked her and Shanuh shrugged.
"I dunno. They never talk about a kid named Mark. they just talk bout a kid with red hair and glasses that they pick on, but that's all." Sarah rolled her eyes after hearing this.
"That's FedEx. He didn't want you to come. He said you'd be like your brothers. He's got everyone turned against you here. But when they get to know you, they'll know your not."
"O.K. but can we get back to work?" Shanuh asked and Sarah nodded.
The girls both worked on the homework and how they would perform it and who would be in it. Then they heard people outside in the yard playing.
"What do you say we quit for awhile?" Sarah said.
"Sure!" then both girls went outside. They looked around. The boys who were playing hockey were out there, Mark and his frog, and Kim and Jessica.
"O.K. Names please." Shanuh said as soon as they walked off.
Sarah sighed. She pointed at a girl with reddish colored hair. "That's Jessica and with her is Kim. their twins." Then she pointed at a boy with red hair who was holding a frog. "That's FedEx, or Mark." Sarah, then pointed to a boy with dark brown hair that was riding a skateboard. "That's Jake." Next, she pointed at two boys who were riding bikes. "That's Kyle and Nigel and....."
"There twins right?" Shanuh asked.
"Right........." Sarah said. "And that's Mike" she pointed at a boy who was trying to climb the side of the house without his mom seeing.
"So we've got Mike, Henry, Jake, you, Kim, Nigel, Jessica, Kyle, and Mark. Then you mentioned to other people named Nora and Charlie. Now who's the other....." Shanuh said, but Sarah interrupted.
"Lorraine's not here is she?" Sarah asked the people in the yard.
"No. Why got a plan?" Jake stopped riding his board.
"Yeah. Let's go!" Sarah said then went inside followed by Jake, who put his skateboard on the porch, and Mike, who untied the belt from around his waist and ran inside after them. Shanuh then, followed them, wondering what tin the world they were talking about.
((Yes, this chapter is very crappy! I mean very! But nothing would come out of my head! Sorry I didn't get this chapter up yesterday! I might get another one up tonight but it might storm(like it had all weekend) so it might be tomorrow! But I'll try to get another one up everyday!))
