BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I smacked my alarm clock to make it shut up. Five more minutes was all I wanted. But, of course, we couldn't let that happen, now could we. My dad rolled up to the door and started banging on it to make sure I was awake. I reluctantly rolled out of bed.

I went to the bathroom to clean up and take a shower. The hot water felt good beating into my back. As I was getting out, I remembered something important. Charlie's daughters were getting in a week earlier than before. Dad wanted to go over to his place and tidy up for him before they all got home. I threw on my old cutoffs and no shirt. I liked it better that way and I had fewer clothes to carry around if I needed to phase.

I made breakfast in a hurry, and got Dad into the truck, taking it to go.

When we got to Charlie's house, I couldn't believe the size of his house. I parked the truck in the driveway and got Dad inside. We worked our butts off, sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, and picking up random clutter. Dad dusted what he could reach from his wheelchair, and I got the rest.

When we were done with the bottom floor and the second floor hallway, I peeked into Elizabeth's room. Seeing that everything was in place and clean, I looked around. There were a lot of shelves, and amps and microphones in the corner. I was positive that the room had great acoustics and was soundproof. In the closet, there was enough clothes room to fit a mini mall. There was also a corner already set up and stocked with balls and equipment for every sport imaginable. So she was girly, sporty, and musical, I thought to myself. There was a lot that Charlie had to figure out to get their rooms perfect.

I headed out and across the hallway to Isabella's new room. It was not as vibrant as Elizabeth's, but it had its own charm in its quiet appearance. This room was also cleaned to perfection. It had many more shelves lining the wall with some random books lined up. She also had all of the musical setup, but didn't have the sports corner in her closet. The lavender in her room suggested that Isabella had a quiet disposition, and the books indicated her love for reading. I'm guessing that she wasn't sporty like her sister, but that they both loved music. Her room was also soundproof and had a killer stereo system. Then I noticed the time on the alarm clock. OH CRAP! The game was on.

I ran back downstairs and into the living room with the 56" plasma screen. Dad was already there, thankfully, with the game playing. I was quickly absorbed by the plays made and bad calls made by the referees. I heard a noise outside, but decided to ignore it. It was probably a bird or something, but it was really high pitched, like a scream or squeal. Then I heard laughter and people sliding around outside. This time, I looked away from the TV with curiosity. Who was out there?

The squeals and sliding sounds stopped, but the laughter continued. I turned off the game and traveled back through the dining room into the main hallway, Dad close on my heels.

The door opened and I was shocked by what I saw. Charlie and two girls walked in completely covered in mud. There goes all of the hard work we spent cleaning, I thought. But just then, she looked at me with those big, beautiful eyes as a strand of hair fell into her face. I gasped. Even completely covered in grime, she was gorgeous!


Sorry to leave you on a cliffhanger like that, but I want to let the story progress before I reveal who likes who.

Review, review, review! I haven't gotten a single review for this, and I would like to know how I'm doing.

XOXO, me
