I'm trying to update more so...here's chapter eight!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was a Saturday, and Cherry pulled the covers over her head. She wondered
why she was awake so early. Usually she slept until nine at least. She looked
at her alarm clock. It was 7:00. She realized there was a knock on the door. Cherry
rolled out of bed and quickly threw on a pair of jeans and a red shirt. Cherry ran to
door. She opened it to reveal her own mother.
"Hello, Sherri!" her mom said, embracing her.
"Uh..hi." Cherry pried her mother arms off of her. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh..just passing by"
"I know" Cherry said, walking into the kitchen, and fixing breakfast.
"You thought I didn't have the money for the rent this week!" Cherry looked
her mom in the eye.
"Sherri!-can't I visit my own daughter once and a while?"
"Mom.."
"Fine! But I knew you didn't have a job, and I-Sherri, I just wanted to help.
That's all."
"Mom, I have a job, in fact, I'm going in today." Cherry said, pouring herself a
glass of milk.
Cherry's mother walked in, looking around curiously.
"Sherri?" Mrs. Valance asked.
"Have you been...smoking?" He mom sniffed the air.
"Mom-no!" Cherry shook her head.
"Good. You better not be lying. I don't want you smoking."
"Mom," Cherry said, offering her mother a bagel. " I don't smoke"
"Okay" her mom said, taking the bagel.
"Then you must of had one of those boys you hang out with over-"
"Mom!" Cherry yelled.
"Sherri I know what kind of people those boys are-not the people you should be
hanging out with"
"Mom-you know what? Fine. Whatever. I have to be at work so if you'd like to stay
here, go ahead!"
"Well..I need to talk to you, so I guess I'll wait. When do you get home?"
"At eight. The remote to the TV is over there. Goodbye." Cherry exited out the
apartment, and into the parking lot.
She drove down the road, and soon, she reached the shop. She went in and stood
at the counter. No one was there. Cherry hesitated, but rang the bell three times.
She looked around.
"How easy it would be for someone to come in and steal all this stuff" she thought.
"Hello?" Cherry called.
"Ah..hello." said Mrs. Cathrow. "Are you here to make a purchase?"
"No-no..I came because I work here. You told me to come, you were going to show me around.."
"Did I? Well, I guess that doesn't matter. Your name was..."
"My name is-"
"Wait! Mrs. Cathrow screeched. "Don't tell me! I am really good at guessing. Your name is...
It's...Lucy!"
Cherry smiled weakly. "No..um..it's-"
"Tara!" Mrs. Cathrow yelled. "That's it!"
"No..it's not."
"Betty?"
"Kelly?"
"Melissa?"
"Hillary? Oh wait, no, that's a dumb name..uh.." (he he he)
"Oh I give up, Shannon. Oh! That's it!" she squeeled. "It's Shanise!"
Cherry sighed. "My name is Sherri Valance."
"Oh yeah! How could I ever forget that red hair?" Mrs. Cathrow laughed.
Cherry sighed once more. "Yes..how could you forget?"
"Well..I guess you want me to show you the items. We have a large selection of-"
"I don't want to purchase anything..I just..want..to work here." Cherry said.
"Ah..well..I'll get the papers" Mrs. Cathrow said.
"I already work here!" Cherry said, as kindly as she could.
"Really? Oh yes, the red head. Okay. Uh-huh..says right here" Mrs. Cathrow picked
up a peice of paper.
"SHERRI VALNUNCE"
"Valance.." Cherry corrected.
"What?"
"Sherri Valance. Ah..sorry." Mrs. Cathrow put away the papers and leaned on the desk.
"I've probably wasted a lot of your time" Mrs. Cathrow said.
"Well, not really..I mean, it's only.....9:00..well.."
"Oh, dear! I'm sorry. You can go. See you Monday" Cherry's boss said.
Cherry looked at her. "Sunday. You'll see me Sunday."
"Ah..that's what I said"
Cherry smiled weakly, once more, and left the shop.
