Okay, this chapter is all flashback so I'm not even going to bother to put the whole thing in italicizes because it would screw up some of my plans for this chapter. Also this chapter is kind of meaningless. I'm having a writer's block for the divorce thing and an idea for what to happen to them, so this is sort of what happened to me, about a week ago. High Schools, a pain in the butt. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 14
Stress and torture, the two of many words that can be used to describe open houses/ tours of high schools and filling out forms for high schools. I choose these two descriptive words to describe it, because they are the best words to describe the pain of going through all of that, well except maybe boring. All of this torture started when my mom had this brilliant idea to transfer me to a "real" high school, or at least the thought of transferring me to a different school, to start my high school life instead of continuing to attend RA (Redding Academy) as my high school.
"No!" Meredith shouted. "I am NOT transferring to a new school!"
"Yes, you are!" Ellis told her.
"I am not going to a new school with about a thousand people I do not know." Meredith continued yelling. "I have friends at RA; I like where I go and the teachers too."
"Exactly," Ellis said, "this way, you'll be able to meet new people and have new friends. And you already know the teachers at you're current school so you know how they grade and that wouldn't make the test and homework really challenging for you."
"I agree with Meredith," Thatcher said, "she shouldn't have to leaver her friends and the school she's been at for nearly 9 years."
"Of course you agree with her." Ellis spat out. "You always do. You're transferring to a new school, when we find one suitable for you, and that's final."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There's an open house at Lowell High tonight." Ellis said. "You're going."
"No, you're going, I'm not." Meredith shot back. "You'll have to go yourself."
"No, you ARE going," Ellis told Meredith, "even if I have to drag you there myself. Besides, I'm not going you father is."
The father and daughter duo mumbled and grumbled all the way to the school.
"I can't believe I got dragged into this." Thatcher said. "This is really unfair."
"Yeah, well you're not the one who has to go to a new school because of her mule-stubborn mother." Meredith grumbled back.
Thatcher sighed, "Let's go in."
Meredith had to admit, Lowell's clubs weren't all that bad, but she still didn't want to transfer. They also had a lot of foreign languages, that she could take but she found the school somewhat boring. All they really did was keep talking on and on about how good their school and athletic teams were.
The rest of the schools Meredith visited weren't any better, either. They were either too easy, or not up to her standards.
With some clever planning and tricking; Meredith and Thatcher, finally got Ellis to change her mind. It was hard, but in the end it paid off.
You can tell it paid off because I'm still going to RA, aren't I? I still think the part where we have to fill out the forms are a pain in the butt. I still stand by my three words to describe the whole process of the high school thing. It's very annoying and I hope I will never have to go through it again.
--------------------------------------------------
Okay well did you like it? The ending kind of sucked didn't it? It's kind of pointless but as I said at first, I'm kind of having a writer's block, and I just want everyone to know how be of a pain filling out forms and all the frenzy of going to open houses and tours of schools are. I'm going through it right now, and I'll tell you, it isn't fun. It makes me miss when the adults would do all the filling out of forms, doesn't it? I got this idea for a chapter while I was sitting through the open house of Lowell. I was so bored! Okay well enough about me. I have some reviews to thank!
So here I go…
Thank you so much for your reviews. There were only two people who reviewed me but I still want to say thanks to them. They are my two loyal reviewers.
luv24+Alias- Thanks for your review. I hope you liked this chapter too. But it was kind of pointless. Sorry it took me so long to update. I've kind of have my hands full with the high school stuff.
skylinechick07- GASP! You're not my first review this time. I was so shocked. But at least you did review. Thanks for not thinking my last chapter was not pointless. But even I think it was. It was funny; at least I thought it was, but pointless. The lawyer thing, that Izzy did, just kind of popped up in my head. It's because I keep hearing how people hate lawyers and stuff. All that stereotype, and well, I thought what could be scarier than a lawyer on Halloween right? Sorry it took me so long to update though.
Sorry it took me so long to update and that it is so short. For the next chapter I'll try to update sooner and longer. Also I'll try to make it about Meredith's thoughts on her parents divorce.
Signing off for now,

P.S. I'm just going to call myself as H, from now on okay? Type Fanficaddict is so long. LOL.
