Here it is you all, the second chapter. Sorry it took forever to get it done.
A/N: In the first chapter, my character's last name was spelled "Gardener", but in this chapter I've decided to change it. I know this next chapter was going to be better, but I've decided to split this chapter in to two and three. Because my computer was down and I couldn't get on the internet. But enough chit-chat. Let's get this fanfic started. Enjoy.
Chapter 2: The Gardner Family.
Rena was soon out of bed and was watching the falling rain while she braided a strand of her hair. Rena was a young 12 year-old girl with long black hair, that hung all the way down to her waist, and bluish-green eyes. She wore a light-blue, sleeve-less vest over a white t-shirt, that showed a bit of her stomach, dark-blue denim capris, and blue and white tennis shoes. After she was done braiding, she then grabbed her notebook, books and backpack, and headed down stairs.
"Morning, guys," Rena said as she entered the dining room. "Morning, sweetheart," said Rena's mother, Trisha. She worked as a doctor at the local hospital in Laurel Grove. She had long, light-brown hair that hung down to the middle of her back and brown eyes. She wore a short-sleeve, lavender blouse, tan pants, and brown dress shoes. Everyone gathered at the table and began eating their warm breakfast.
"It certainly is raining a sight out there today," said Trisha. "I hope it quits before your game tonight, Rena." "Oh, that's right our soccer game is today. I forgot all about it," Rena gasped. "Tonight, we're playing against the cougars. I hear they're pretty tough to beat." "You're right they do sound tough, but they're not as tough as you guys," said Caleb. "But Caleb those guys have won more games than we have this year." "Yeah, but number of games are not what matters, it's really a teams skills, teamwork, faith and trust in each other," said Caleb "When I was your age I didn't think any of that mattered, but as I grew up I learned that those are the best qualities that makes a true team." "Thanks, Caleb." "Of course the chances of you guys winning is one to one-million." "Huh," Rena sweat dropped at Caleb's comment and had a big angry mark on the right side of her forehead. "Hey, what's that suppose to mean? Just what kind of a brother are you anyway?" Caleb and their mother laughed. "Calm down, honey you know that Caleb is just kidding," Trisha said. "Mom's right, Rena you know I'll always have faith in you no matter what," "Yeah, you're right after all you are the one who taught me how to play soccer."
After everyone had finished their breakfast, they all headed towards outside to their two vehicles at the driveway. Trisha to one, Caleb and Rena to the other. "You kids have a good time at school, I'll see you this evening," called Trisha as she got in her car. "You have a good day too, Mom. See ya later," said Caleb. "See ya, Mom. Love you," called Rena as she waved to her mother from inside of Caleb's car. "I love you guys, too." Soon the Gardener family went to their different destinations. Rena turned around in her seat to watch her mother drive towards the hospital as she and her brother drove to school.
"I wish mom was able to come to my game tonight," Rena sighed as she sat back down in her seat. "I know, kiddo. But you know how Mom is with her job," Caleb said. "She has responsibilities." "Yeah, I know I just wish she could come for one time. You'll still be coming won't you, Caleb?" "Sure, Rena I wouldn't miss it for the world." "Thanks" Rena looks out her car window and stares at the rain still falling. "Looks like it's going to be the same old routine for today, huh?" "Yeah, I guess so." However, somewhere inside, Rena feels that somehow things were going to be different.
Well, how was it? Please review. My next chapter will be even better.
