a/n: Sweetness!! I was so surprised by the response I got from chapter 2. It gave me the tingly's man! Okay so umm lets see there's not much to write here. This chapter introduces you to Summer's clarinet teacher and the first part of the slumber party at Alicia's. Much love ya'll!
To my handsomely-lovely reviewers (whom I love more then my squishy lifesavers…and I love my lifesavers a lot!):
Sandy-Pandy: Hey thanks for your review! Glad you liked Summer's lil 'talking to herself' thoughts. I like to add a little bit of humor to my story. Thanks again! =-)
Lilstrummrgrl527: Thanks for your review! I got it right after I got back from the dentist and I was in an incredibly bad mood cuz they're pulling my wisdom teeth soon so now I am in such a better mood! And yeah I hate Freddy/Marta ships too…they're icky. And I could write Freddy/Katie chapter in there I guess but it would probably be in Summer's pov but I could make it work. And to answer your question I like Michigan the team for football but I think that MSU has cooler colors… lol. Okay toodles! Thanks again for the smashing review! =-)
Wyverna: hey man, sup? Your review was incredibly awesome it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol. And thanks man I'm glad you like the thoughts thing. ;-) And if you send your flying monkeys to steal my story I shall clip their wings and…put them in pink dresses ..lol jk… and man, it's cool to rub off on people! Stay spiffy! =-) (p.s. Thanks for reviewing both of my fanfics!!!)
Nanners--77: Hey again! Did I do better with my paragraphs for this chapter? I hope I did. =-). Thanks for reviewing both of my stories! It was really super duper cool of you!!!! p.s. Yes, growing on you was a one-shot. I'd like to make it longer but i'm not really good w/ romance as it is so i think i'll keep it as one chapter.
Rockin awesome x: Hey again. Yes I decided to make it longer and your review for chapter 1 was my inspiration! Lol. Yes and skitso Summer was fun to write. I think I might do it again! AND…THANKS FOR REVIEWING MY SONGFIC! Lol sorry just had the urge to do that in caps. Stay stiflingly cool man! =-)
Haha thanking the reviewers is so much fun!
Okay…finally to the stuff you've been waiting for! This chapter may be a bit boring but it's introducing a new character etc.
Chapter 3.
"Bye Summer, same time next week" Mrs. Stinkleworth, Summer's clarinet
Teacher asked.
"…Sure…see yah then" Summer muttered, while packing up her clarinet as fast as possible.
You see, it wasn't that she didn't like her clarinet lessons…she loathed them. And according to Summer, Mrs. Stinkleworth was the worst teacher ever. (she rivaled Dewey.) Well, it wasn't that she taught bad, Okay well she did teach bad but that wasn't the worst part. It was that she lived in the most unhygienic piece-of-scum house Summer had ever had the misfortune of stepping in.
--Flashback--
"Oh Summer, you're just going to LOVE Mrs. Stinkleworth!, she was MY clarinet teacher until I started college" stated Mrs. Hathaway, looking back at her 8 year old daughter who was sitting in the backseat, clutching her brand new clarinet. and smiling nervously.
"Okay mom, see you in an hour." Summer said, stepping out of her mom's car.
"Have fun!" and then her mom drove off. Leaving her to gaze at what probably was at sometime a nice house. But now looked more like something on the lower east side of Detroit, after a hurricane had hit it of course.
"Must be nicer on the inside." Summer stated, trying to convince herself
Don't kid yourself.
"Oh I'm sure it'll be fine!" and she knocked on the door. Finally after waiting and knocking for three minutes the door was answered by a woman who looked to be in her late 80's. With short frizzy scraggily hair and rotted teeth. She was wearing what appeared to be a green running suit with a pair of loafers.
"AH! You must be Anne's daughter! Come in, come in!"
"Actually my mom's name is Rowena."
"I knew that!" The old lady barked.
"Here, have some Nestea! Why I just made it this morning!"
"Oh umm yeah mmmm it's yummy" Summer croaked, trying to get it down without gagging.
Oh good god, this is turning into a disaster and it hasn't even begun
After choking on the tea she took a look at what was Mrs. Stinkleworth's living space. There was a bunch of couches that had plastic over them and a few chairs. The house had a distinctly odd smell that Summer couldn't quite point out. She wasn't sure if she were better off that way or not. The floors she guessed were made out of wood but were starting to rot. There was a bunch of pop cans and dirty plates all over the place And there was a vintage piano in the corner of the living room.
Note to self: go to bathroom, wash hands, and eat before and after clarinet lessons. As I will not be using those accommodations here.
"Okay let's get started with your clarinet lessons!"
--End flashback--
Summer practically ran out of Mrs. Stinkleworth's house and into her mom's car. When she got in she pulled out her hand sanitizer from her clarinet case and began scrubbing thoroughly. Today Mrs. Stinkleworth had asked her to help feed the cats before they started practice.
"How was practice dear?"
you don't want to know…
"Great, mom, I started playing um… a new chorale." Summer replied, tapping her foot and twiddling her thumbs. She was anxious to get home so she could pack for Alicia's. She had never been to a slumber party so she was slightly nervous.
I hope we have fun tonight. I wonder what we're going to do.
Probably nothing you've ever heard of.
So? This can be a learning experience for me!
Maybe you should bring books, you know, for a book reading study session!
That's not a bad idea!
"So, Summer, how many girls are going to be at Alicia's tonight?"
"Umm… Marta, Katie, Eleni, Michelle, Tomika, Alicia obviously, and me."
"Oh that's nice."
"Yep."
The rest of the car-ride was silent. And Summer was left to drown in her
thoughts. Finally they reached the house and went inside and Summer ran to her room to pack. She pulled out a suitcase and put a bunch of clothes in it.
Geez Laweeze, you don't really need all of those clothes you aren't going to Europe you know.
It never huts to over-prepare! Okay?! (sounding like Miss. Mullins.) I've never been to one of these things…geesh.
After packing all of her clothes in one suitcase, she pulled out a duffel bag and tried fitting in most of her books because she was reminded of that idea she had earlier about the book reading. Then she packed her toothbrush and got her sleeping bag and was ready to go. At 6:45 Marta came.
"Hey, Summer."
"Hi!"
"whoa, why do you have a suitcase?"
Oh no…I screwed up already.
"umm… I have a lot of stuff and I need a suitcase, plus I didn't have another duffel bag. Is that a problem?"
"nope…just curious…wow this duffel bag is heavy! What's in here? Books?"
"haha…books…nice joke. Who brings books to a slumber party?"
"I don't know I guess the kind of person who has no life" Marta replied. Summer wasn't sure why, but that hurt.
"Umm yeah I gotta change so I'll be out in a minute" Summer said hastily, shooting Marta out of her room and dumping out all of the books out of the duffel bag and onto the floor.
Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it eventually.
"Okay! I'm ready to go!"
"Alright, let's party!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Marta and Summer arrived at Alicia's, Michelle and Tomika we're already there.
"Hey!!" Alicia said running outside of her house, with Tomika and Michelle trailing. They had camera's and were taking pictures of everybody/thing.
"SMILE!" Michelle shouted, taking pictures of a surprised Summer and Marta.
"OH MY GOD! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACES!" Michelle gushed. Jumping around the two and giggling like a blubbering idiot. (she's a bit flippy if you get what I mean. And plus I don't like her character anyways lol.)
Good lord, what have I gotten myself into?
"Er…right, let's get you two inside. Now we're only waiting for Eleni and Katie" Alicia said, trying to calm down Michelle who was still jumping.
"Umm can I use the bathroom?" Summer asked, wanting to get away from all the mayhem.
"Yeah sure, second door on the left"
Summer stepped inside and pulled her diary out of her coat pocket.
January 15th, 2003 (again.)
Dear diary,
Today has been a really weird day. I don't know how to describe it. I am just really confused. I'm beginning to think this slumber party thing was a bad idea. I mean these girls are nice but they're so different from me. I mean just two minutes ago Michelle came out laughing like she was drunk and took a picture of me out of nowhere. That is something I know I wouldn't do. I gotta go though. Katie and Eleni just arrived. I'll write about this later. Bye.
--Summer--
another a/n: Yeah I know I promised the slumber party but I just wrote and this is what came out. Next chapter though is totally the slumber party and maybe a little drama. I don't know It depends on how Sarah here feels!
Much love ya'll ;-)
Stick it to the man
Only soup cans need labels.
Okay I'm done with random quotes… love yah!
