These are short little paragraphs…not that great either! But I've written about three or four since Friday night…you have to give me credit for something! Hope you enjoy this all! Lalalalalalalalala!
Lena and Effie had decided together not to go down to the grove again. Just in case Kostos would trap Effie or Lena into some uncomfortable situation. But that night as Lena lay in her bed, she couldn't go to sleep. She needed to go back down there. She quietly got up and stepped quietly down the stairs. When the front door shut, a little too loudly, Effie stirred. Looking in the bed next to her, she saw that Lena was gone. Effie got up out of bed and went over to the window. She saw Lena slipping quietly through the streets. "Damn Lena." She said under her breath. "I guess you are going to do whatever you want to do…I can't stop you." Effie climbed back into her bed and shut her eyes. Her sister was old enough now to make her own decisions.
Carmen had received a phone call from Jack the morning after their date.
"Hey Carmen!" Jack exclaimed. "I had an awesome time last night…I was hoping maybe you would like to go out again sometime this week?" Carmen was sitting in the living room watching the news with Stephen. "Yeah Jack, I had a great time to…yeah I would love to…Thursday? Sounds great. I'll see you then. Bye" She hung up the phone.
Bridget was checking her email, once again, for the third time that day. But like they always say, third time's a charm. Eric had sent her one just five minutes ago. She opened it.
Bee,
I'm glad to see that you are definitely coming. I am also glad to hear that you want this friendship to work. I need to be headed off to work now. I'll talk to you later.
Eric
Bridget was sort of upset that it was so short….but hey; you take what you can get. Plus, this friendship thing was new to the both of them.
Tibby had received Lena's letter, and decided to write her back. Brian was lying on her bed reading a book. She pulled a pen and some paper out of her desk.
Lenny,
Everything is great…I mean great. I'm going over to Carmen's tonight. She'll tell me what happened. Any who, Brian is over right now, lying on my bed reading a book. He looks exceptionally cute in his old navy shirt I bought him for his birthday. He says Hello. He got back from his trip yesterday; we talked in the park for a long time. WE KISSED Carmen talked to Stephen, and he backed off…said he didn't want to get in the way of true love. Is that what it is? Whatever, I don't think things need to change between Brian and myself now that you know….well you know. I won't go into details Lena. Write me when you can.
Tibby
Tibby put the letter into an envelope and addressed it. "Hey Brian, I'm going to run down to the post office to mail this. You coming?" Brian jumped off the bed and walked towards the door. "Sure. You want to get something to eat afterwards?" "That would be great." They walked out of her room and down the stairs. Tibby's mom stopped them on the way out. "Oh Tibby, your cousins are coming down for a few days." Tibby's face turned pale. "Which ones?" "Jackie's kids…you know….Erin, and…" Tibby didn't let her mom finish the sentence. "Erin and Ethan?" Her mom nodded her head. "They will be here tomorrow." "Tomorrow!" Tibby yelled. "Yes, and it's your job to entertain them." Tibby rolled her eyes and stormed out of her house. Brian slid silently into her car. Not saying a word until they had gotten have way up the street. "I'm sure it won't be that bad Tibbster." Tibby laughed. "Not that bad. We'll see what they want to do…can you please just stay around me the next couple of days?" Brian couldn't say no to that face. "I can try. I've got to start that new job tomorrow morning." "Crap." Tibby said. "Oh well. I've dealt with them before…they are only 8 year old twins. It's amazing what two little kids can do to your psyche. When they were little they used to pinch me! I know I'm older than them, but they are like the spawn of Satan. Anyways…I'll bring them by to meet you then." "Aren't you being a little harsh when you call them offspring of the devil?" Brian questioned. Tibby didn't laugh. "I wish I was."
