anyway enough of this on with the story
Emily followed Raven up a second flight of stairs only half listening to what the older woman was telling her.
Rachel had left about 10 minuets ago, after finally asking a bout a billion different questions , all of which to Emily's slight amassment, Raven had managed to answer almost instantly, there was no um's or I don't knows there wasn't even any messing about having to go and look up things, like most of the times that she moved.
Only once had she actually listened properly to what the 2 woman were talking about. When Rachel had asked how many other children lived at the brother hood , the answer to this had been 8, 6 boys and 2 girls.
To Emily this was something new she had never actually lived some where with so many other kids, in all her other foster homes she had either been by her self or if she was unlucky she had to put up with her foster parents own kids, who for some reason every body expected her to get on with but usually she 9 times out of 10 ended up having a huge falling out with them.
She was rather disappointed when it turned out that this was all she was going to find out about here new house mates , as Rachel had asked nothing more about them and Raven hadn't been forthcoming with any more info either.
It looked like she was just going to have to wait to meet them
She was brought back to reality when Raven stopped in front of a plain looking door, and taking a rather large bunch of keys out of her jean pocket, she unlocked it, and pushed it open
"right here we are then"
Raven went and deposited the pile of sheets and blankets that she'd been carrying on the bed before moving across to the far wall and drew back the lime green curtains letting more light into the room.
Emily stood in the door way looking round the room, it wasn't bad as things went, it was painted a pale cream colour and it contained all the usual furniture, a bed, small wooden wardrobe , a tall set of draws with a mirror above them on the wall, there was also a desk with a set of shelves next to it.
Emily's eyes moved back to Raven who looked expectantly at her,
"Um…….. it's nice"
Raven seemed to accept this answer
"Good, you can personalise it to suit you own taste with in reason of course no major remodelling etc but other then that it's all yours ok"
Emily nodded in reply and moved further into the room dumping the duffle bag that contained all her belongings on the bed next to pile of bedding
Raven fiddled with the bunch of keys in her hand the clink of metal on metal the only noise as she waited to see if she was going to get more of a response from the teen but when it looked like that wasn't going to happen and feeling slightly uneasy with the silence she decided that now was a good time to make her escape
"Ok well I'll let you settle in and every thing"
And with that she turned and left the room closing the door behind her
Muttering to himself as he walked along Todd Tolinsky moved back towards his own room his sandy coloured hair still slightly damp from his recent shower,
"stupid jocks, stupid friggin dumb-assed jocks just wait till I get my hand's on them they won't know what hit them, I'll have my revenge , yep little Todd tolinsky will have his rev… oomph!"
He was so rapped up in his little world of revenge that he didn't see Raven till he walked into her, as she stepped of the last step from the second floor stairs.
"tolinsky why do you never watch where your going" raven glared down at the spot where he had bounced off her and fallen on the floor
"Sorry boss lady" Todd mumbled his apology as he picked himself up and went about picking up his shower stuff from where it had rolled when he dropped it
Seeing what he was doing, Raven rubbed a hand over her face, as she remembered what Todd had smelt like when he got home
"What happened this time"
"Hun?" Todd looked up from where he'd been knelling to retrieve his shampoo from under a table
With a exasperated sigh raven repeated her question
"I wanted to know why you came home smelling worse then some thing that had been dead for several weeks"
"oh well you see…um ….. It's kind of funny when you think about it"
"just get to the point Todd" raven snapped as her fuse shortened a few more inches
"hey no need to yell at me" Todd stared at Raven with a hurt look
"sorry I've had a long day of it, pleases continue"
"well there was a small incident with some water bombs and a couple of members of the football team
"when you say 'incident' you mean that you and the rest of the hoodlums that live here decided to cause some kind of chaos / revenge on the football team"
Todd rubbed the back of his neck uneasily
"Yer….. ,um, you could say that"
Raven crossed her arm's and glared at the teen in front of her, any sympathy she had for him evaporating
"Anyways to cut a long story short I was unlucky enough to be caught by said jocks and as a result, yours truly here had a meeting with one of the school dumpers, anyways I got sent home early cus everyone was complaining about the smell and everything"
Raven pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache building , she could really do with a nice Irish coffee without the coffee part at the moment.
"Todd haven't I told you a billion times not to pick fights with people a lot bigger then you"
Finally managing to grasp the bottle of shampoo from under the table Todd stood back up
"I don't pick fights, it's not my fault that jocks find it fun to pick on people a lot smaller then them"
"yes but you don't help things by constantly giving them a good excuse to pick on you"
"But….." Todd started but raven cut across him
"Look I really don't have the time for this I've got to go and sought out all the paper work for Emily and…."
"Who?" Todd interrupted
"Emily, she's the new girl"
Todd just stared back at her looking confused
"What new girl, you would of told us if there was some one new coming here"
Raven gritted her teeth becoming annoyed with the constant interruptions
"Yes well I didn't exactly know until a social worker showed up on the door step about an hour ago with her, for now I've left her in here room, I haven't even had a chance to show her around or explain any thing to her…."
Raven paused as she thought of something and causing a small smirk to appear on her face, she locked eyes with Todd
"……and you my dear, can help me with that"
"What do you mean help you" he really didn't like it when she used that tone of voice it defiantly meant he was going to be made to do some thing that he didn't want to
"I want you to go and introduce your self and then show her around the place a bit etc, you can call it you punishment for the water bombs"
"But that's not fair I wasn't the only one who was throwing them" Todd argued, he was damn if he was going to get in trouble for a few harmless water bombs ,and wasn't being thrown in the dumpster enough punishment
Seeing that she was losing the argument Raven decided to go for the low blow
"Yes but you were the only one who got caught and thrown into a dumpster, now her name is Emily, she's about the same age as you so you should get along….. "
"B..but…" Todd complained, a slight whine now entering his voice, but yet again raven cut across him
"…..I don't want to hear it ,now go and do as your told"
And before he had a chance to try and object again she had disappeared down the stairs to the ground floor
aw poor todd any ways like we said theres another chapter after this so plz read that too
