Sorry about the delay, to make up for it, here's another chapter!
"Mom!" Ranpha shrieked, and ran into the house, "Mom!" She ran through the old hallways looking for her mother. Suddenly she saw her mother near a now broken chest of drawers. "Mother!" Ranpha said, "you nearly scared me to death, I thought you were dead!"
Her mother gave her a sad look and said to her, "Sorry, honey, but we have rats."
Ranpha gave her mother a wide-eyed glance and ran out of the house, screaming. "Call the rat people!"
Charline walked over to where her daughter was outside. "I know it's going to take some getting used to, but I'm sure you'll get used to it."
"Used to it!" Ranpha said, shocked, "yeah right! I am not sleeping here tonight." She went to the car and grabbed her cell phone. No way was she, Ranpha Chamberlin, going to sleep in a rat-infested house. How gross is that? "So can I go to school now, or what?"
"Tomorrow," her mother said in a promising voice, "today we have to unpack. Get your bags and bring them to your room."
Ranpha groaned, "But unpacking is soooo boring! I wanna go out and meet guys! Please?"
Charline sighed. Giving in, she said, "Fine, go out, But bring your phone and be back before seven."
"Seven!"
"Well, do you not want to go at all? Hm?"
"Fine," Ranpha snapped, "I'll be home by seven."
"And don't eat too much," her mother advised, "I'm cooking dinner." But Ranpha had already left the house. She sighed and began to unpack her things.
"Just who does she think she is, bossing me around?" Ranpha asked herself. "I'm Ranpha Chamberlin! My father's a millionaire! I wish he'd have taken me to London with him. But no, I had to stay here and move to Creep Street. Stupid house, I wish it would just collapse so we could move away from this crappy town."
Ranpha walked around, looking for Shadyside High, but didn't find it. "Great, the school's not even close! Now I'll have to take a filthy bus! I need to get out of this place and off of this street!"
Turning onto another street she noticed a bunch of boys, so only thinking of them, she started to jog across the street, not noticing the cars.
"Watch out!" one of the boys yelled, as a big truck came right at her. But Ranpha didn't even notice.
Gee, another cliffhanger! Sorry about that, but I want to keep everyone in suspense! And sorry about the short chapter! Thanks to all who reviewed my story, and thank you for all of your comments. I promise to update more often!
