Here is the fifth chapter to my story. It takes place 100 years ago in where Camp Green Lake is. And………… here we go! Oh and thank-you for reading my story, danradcliffe-lover92! I didn't think anyone else would find my story interesting! That makes me feel so much better whenever someone reads my stories and says something nice about them and-I should get back to my story!
One hundred years ago Green Lake was the largest lake in Texas. Near the lake, there was small town. It was a very peaceful town with very nice people. (A/N: That was a taste of my writing when I get writers block. There's no cure for it. At least for me.) Everyone knew each other knew each other in the small town of Green Lake.
And everyone knew Sam the onion man and Miss Katherine Barlow the schoolteacher. While Katherine Barlow's spiced peaches were heaven on earth for the people in the town, Sam's onions took care of problems from lizards to sickness.
Sam and KatherineBarlow had started seeing more often. Sam had offered to fix the school in return for Katherine's famous spiced peaches. And soon Kate started falling in love with him. She knew she shouldn't fall in love with him, but she couldn't help it.
One night when Kate was going through schoolwork, her friends stopped by to see her. Their names were Shirley and Anna. Shirley was shorter then Anna. She was looked chubbier than Anna but wasn't. She had really long brown past her shoulders with natural blonde highlights and brown eyes. She was different from the other women in the town because she was usually up for anything and outgoing. Her parents thought that it Shirley should've been married by now, Shirley refused.
Anna was tall and much older then Shirley and she was very strict and stern. She was very tall, thin, and had straight light brown hair with sea blue eyes.
"Hello Ms. Ka-ther-ine! Anna and I decided to come and see you." Said Shirley loudly for some reason. She skipped over to Katherine's desk and hugged her.
Anna however stood where she was and murmured a small "Hello"
"Hello, Anna dear. What wrong?" Katherine asked Anna, letting go of Shirley.
"You see, Anna here claimed she saw you with Sam yesterday evening." said Shirley crossing her arms and sitting on top of Katherine's desk.
"Well, of course you would see me with Sam, Anna!" said Katherine letting out a small laugh. "He's fixing the school for me!"
"I know that!" said Anna testily. "Its just that, I saw you and Sam talking like were friends or something!"
"And what's so bad about that, may I ask?" said Katherine eyeing Anna.
"Oh honestly, Katherine! Are you blind! The man is a negro! You don't talk to Negroes! None of us do!" Anna yelled.
Katherine couldn't believe what was coming out of Anna's mouth. Anna had always been her friend. Although they had had theirs differences in the past they managed to work them out in the end and continue being friends. But, as Katherine thought about as, she realized that Anna had always been for slavery, so why would she accept the fact hat she and Sam were friends, or even in love?
Katherine took a deep breath. She had to stand up for what she thought was right. "Just because he has a different skin color, Anna, that doesn't mean we can't be friends! And I am certainly not going to let skin color ruin our friendship, like that!" Kate said calmly.
Anna shook her head vigorously. "I always thought you were a good woman, Katherine, but now I see that you were always a devil woman! You hypocrite! Making those spiced peaches and acting like you're some goody goody!" shouted Anna. It was very obvious that Anna was jealous of Katherine.
"Anna! Stop this talk at once! Katherine is your friend!" yelled Shirley getting up at once.
"I don't make friends with people who follow the devil and break the rules! And you don't talk to me like that! I am years older than you child!" shouted Anna at the top of her lungs.
Shirley burst into tears. She was very sensitive and Anna knew that, but she didn't care.
Katherine was raged with anger, but she didn't show it. She just nodded her head. "Following the devil? That's what you think I'm doing. Just because I'm not discriminating or mistreating someone who isn't my color. Is that right?" said Katherine with a soft voice, although you could tell she was furious.
"He is a Negro!" shouted Anna.
"His name is Sam!" yelled Katherine.
Shirley stopped sobbing and looked up at Anna. "I suggest that you apologize to Katherine for attacking her like this! She is your friend, Anna!" Shirley demanded.
"I ain't gonna apologize to her! I'm leaving!" said Anna.
"You better not tell anyone, Anna" Shirley shouted as Anna turned her back and started walking towards the door. "You know what will happen!"
Anna stopped in front of the door and turned to Katherine and Shirley. She had a smirk on her face. "Oh, I'm not going to tell anyone. I'm just going to wait for Miss Katherine to ruin her own life. Bye, bye now." She said walking out the door.
