Chapter Three: Eleven Years Later
Years went by, and Lucy still hadn't made forgiven her mother. She had, however, three months after Melissa was born, found an e-mail from Ruthie on Kevin's computer, and thus all communication between the Camdens and Kinkirks ceased.
"Hey Andi! Get up!" eleven year old Ariel Camden shook her cousin awake. "We're starting middle school today! GET UP!" and she pulled the covers off her.
"Alright, alright! I'm up!" Andrea Palmer shrieked.
"Morning girls." Sarah Camden greeted her niece and daughter.
"Morning Mom/Aunt Sarah." The girls chorused. They grabbed some toast off the table and headed for the bus stop.
It was their first day at Jeffrey Cleary high school in Buffalo, New York.
Ariel looked round for anyone she knew, until her eyes stopped on a girl who looked oddly familiar.
"Hey Andi, who's that?" she asked her cousin, pointing towards the girl.
"Hm…I dunno. Let's go say hi." Andrea replied.
Melissa stood on the corner waiting for the bus when a couple of girls approached her.
"Um…hi. You look oftly familiar. Do we know you?" Andrea asked her.
"No, my name's Melissa, Melissa Kinkirk." She told them.
Ariel and Andrea looked at each other. Kinkirk, they both knew that name from somewhere. They just couldn't place it.
"Hi, I'm Ariel Camden; and this is my cousin, Andrea Palmer." Ariel told her. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you like to come over to my place after school today?" she asked, trying her best to be polite.
Melissa thought for a moment. "Um…sure. Why not?" she laughed.
The girls chatted all the way to school. Once they were there, the day seemed to drag on forever. But it eventually came to an end and they met up outside the building to wait for Ariel's mother, who had insisted on picking her daughter up from her first day at school.
"There she is!" Ariel said, pointing towards a black Mercedes Benz.
"Hey sis!" a voice came from the car.
"Oh my gosh!" Ariel squealed. "KARRIE!"
Karrie laughed. "Ready to go?" she asked.
"Of course!" Andrea replied.
Ariel turned to Melissa. "Melissa, this is my sister, Karrie. Karrie, this is my friend Melissa."
"Hi." Karrie said, a warm inviting smile on her face.
"Melissa's gonna come spend the afternoon at our place. 'Kay?" Ariel told her sister, as the three girls filed into the car.
As Karrie sat driving her sister, cousin and their friend home, she couldn't help but think about a certain resemblance between her sister's new friend and someone she hadn't seen in a long time. A very long time.
Ok, I've got some pictures of Ariel Andrea and Melissa, the link is below, I made them at dolls are
