I woke up to the smell of bacon the next morning; not good. The smell of breakfast cooking always meant one of two things, a) my mother was yet again attempting to be the perfect mother that always has a warm meal on the table (as if!) or b) my mother was about to ask me to do something (that I REALLY don't want to do). I pulled on my slippers and took my time going down the stairs, memorizing the different look of the wood on each step. As soon as my pink fuzzy slippers touched the marble floor of my kitchen I heard my mother (I was trapped).
"Good morning sunshine!," I hoped my grunt of a reply was enough to clue her in that I was not in the mood, "How did you sleep?" I grunted once more and she instantly dropped the routine,"Amy use human words"
"I slept well mother"
"Wonderful!"
"Yup" I sat at my usual spot at the table. I WAS hungry.
"I made you breakfast!"
"I see that," I said widening my eyes and raising my eyebrows (she hates that)
"Well here, honey, I made you up a plate,"
"Thanks," I mumbled staring down at my breakfast. The food looked good and there were piles of it on my plate, I started eating and my mother smiled her fake smile Uh-Oh
"So honey now that your comfortable I want to ask you something..." I sighed
"Yes?" I said in an aggravated tone
"You, I am sure, are aware that we have new neighbors...right?"
"Yes" I was fiddling with my sausage
"Well... I was hoping..."
"Yes?!"
"Let me finish! I was hoping you would do the honors of welcoming them to the neighborhood." she finished in a rush
"Um, I'd rather not,"
"Why?! There your age!"
"Exactly! How embarrassing! I mean what am I supposed to say ,'Hi I'm Amy and your my new neighbor eat these cookies there good!!!!' That's stupid!"
"Well honey I'm sorry you feel that way but I have the cookies ready and someone needs to deliver them!"
"Too bad!"
"Amy Rose Parker you will deliver these cookies or your grounded!
"Fine but thats the stupidist reason to ground someone!" I stormed to my room and stomped my foot on every stupid stair. I slammed my door and tried to understand why I was so mad. That was easy she never cares about what I want. I glared at my face in the mirror, my brown/green eyes were red and blotchy and a lock of my deep brown hair was stuck to my lips my skin was paler then it's normal tone; I looked ill. God I hate my mother.
When I came downstairs dressed my mother unleashed another fake smile.
"Ok, now be sure to introduce yourself and smile"
"Yeah"
"And tell them that the cookies contain nuts"
"Yup"
"And-"
"Ok mom I get it bye," And I slammed the heavy front door behind me.
The walk to the new neighbors house seemed to drag on. I felt each degree of Phoenix's harsh 97 degree day and smelled every ounce of peanut butter in my mothers Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. But finally I arrived in front of the mysterious neighbors door. I observed my surroundings a bit to stall what embarrassing feat I was about to do. Victorian inspired style oozed from every aspect of the houses' architecture, which seemed odd compared to the obvious Colonial style coming off of all the other houses on the street. Tall trees shaded the whole property and I could hear a small fountain trickling nearby. The plastic wrap that covered the cookies was sticking to my nervous hands and with a shudder I thought of how sweaty my arm pits must be. I leaned in and rang the door bell. As my pointer finger let go of the button I chewed nervously on my thumb nail. As I waited for someone to answer a million thoughts swarmed my head, What do they look like? No one has seen them yet. Did my mom send me here to investigate? What the hell would we talk about? Would they be- My thoughts were interrupted. I stared at the smiling face that was gazing directly at me. My breath caught in my throat and I dropped the cookies.
