Thanks to Islanda, la-la-la-45, cherrylove19, mangasian13 and fearlessmile for reviewing!
I hope you like this chap, sorry it's not as good I had major writer's block of how to bring Amelia into the story. Please read!
Mike POV-
We'd arrived, I jumped out of the car and got my bag. Dad was still in a bad mood so I tried to avoid him.
A lady came up to us, "You must be the Baker family," her smile was so wide it was like a banana, it was kind of scary.
She looked around at us all slowly scanning our faces very slowly each.
"Umm...right, we have a larger place arranged for you. If you'll follow me please." We followed her down a path and she kept talking in a voice that was like she was trying to sell you something.
"We have a tea this afternoon and a dinner after, so everyone can meet there,"
I heard Dad groan as if he knew we would get into trouble, he was probably right.
"There are separate rooms for adults and kids..."
I looked over at the White House and kept staring, it was massive.
I forgot where I was going and walked into Jessica"Hey!" she squealed.
I apologised quickly and Jake ruffled my hair, "your going soft Mike,"
"Okay, you know the drill, twins share-" I didn't listen to the rest.
We all ran to get a good room, I stayed with Jake and Sarah was in the next room.
We unpacked, and then Mum came in. "We're going to that Tea and Dinner, Jessica and Kim want to meet their competition,"
"What competition? It's a spelling bee!" Jake said laying back on the bed.
"It's a decathlon, and get ready,"
Jessica POV-
"Okay, now behave! This is the White House, as in your president's house," Dad added at the look of confusion on Nigel and Kyle's faces.
I noticed he looked at Sarah, but she just smiled and looked away.
There was a long silence where no one knew what to do, I looked at my sister.
"Let's go," We walked over to the table with all the food on it and got a cupcake each.
"How do we know who are the other competitors?" I asked her.
"I don't know," She looked around.
"There!" I pointed to a board with names and numbers and photos on them.
"Oh, not that picture!" I moaned, Kim rolled her eyes at me, "Forget the picture, let's find this girl. Amelia Turnstone, smartest from Ridge-way...Let's see about that,"
We started looking for her but on the way I found Nigel and Kyle throwing fruit at each other.
"Stop it! What are you doing?" They turned to look at me. "Where did you get that from?" Their facial expressions showed that they were thinking hard to remember but before I could get to the bottom of it Kim was pulling me over to Amelia.
"Hi, I'm Kim and this is my twin Jessica," she said introducing me.
Amelia smiled, I couldn't pick if it was fake or not. "I'm Amelia, hi,"
"I hear your smartest at Ridge-way, very nice"
"It is isn't it...this is my 4th year I've been here."
"Ever won before?"
She avoided answering the question.
"I know I'm going to win this year, and don't think you guys have a chance. Just telling you now so you don't get your hopes up," she said changing her tone half way through.
"Don't flatter yourself," Kim said, she was always the more confident one.
"I won't, make sure you stay out of my way ok? That way you might get 2nd place or something,"
"I wouldn't want to take that from you though," I said trying to be more confident.
She looked down at me, I was a lot shorter than her, and Kim too.
"Oh look, little Jessie's first words!" she said mockingly.
I tried not to look hurt, but I was. I was always getting teased about my height my red hair didn't help.
"Get lost freak, why don't you go study? You'll need it!" Kim said coming to my aid she hooked my hand and pushed straight past Amelia.
Amelia opened her mouth to say something, but I wanted to prove I wasn't hurt by her stupid words. "Tell someone who cares,"
She stared at me, but I smiled innocently back. "What a-" Kim started to say but was interrupted by Jake skating straight past where we were standing.
"Jake! Don't do that-"
I heard him yell sorry, "See at least Sarah went behind!"
I turned to look, Amelia had tripped up Sarah on her skateboard.
"Oi! What's your problem? I was using that!"
"My foot slipped, oops!"
"Bull," Amelia just shrugged. "Sarah? You coming?" Mike skated past her, she took one more look at Amelia and then skated off.
Sarah-
"What kind of food is this? What is this?"
We were in a massive hall and food was everywhere plus a massive cake near the front under a disco ball.
I picked it up and wagged it in front of Henry who was sitting in front of me, "Don't shove it in my face! Whatever it is, I wouldn't eat it,"
"That is squid," Mark informed me.
"Eww!" I said letting go of it, it flew across the room. Jessica. Kim, Henry, Jake and I watched it land in some girls soup. The soup splashed all over her face and her dress, getting bits of carrots and other vegetables in her hair and down her dress.
We cracked up the girl looked mad, Jessica and Kim laughed the loudest they even gave me high-five. Normally they would be criticising me but I didn't complain, maybe they were coming around?
The girl stood up and walked over to Jessica and Kim who were still laughing.
"Did you do something with your hair Amelia? It looks better than before," Kim smiled at the girl called Amelia.
"Who's Amelia?" Jake whispered in my ear, "That chick that tripped me, she must be in the decathlon too" I replied.
"I'm not going to lower myself to your level of immaturity," she said trying to be the bigger person.
"That's a big word for someone with a such a small brain," I was surprised, Jessica was usually shy.
"Is this the rest of you?" Amelia said looking around at us judgementally. Jessica and Kim looked embarrassed I pulled the chicken bone out of my mouth and ignored the gravy running down Nigel's shirt.
"Well, I can tell your all related," she said snobbishly.
"Shut up and go away, your stinking up the place Amelia," Jessica said.
"Haven't u ever heard the saying treat as others as u would like to be treated yourself," she said suddenly pouring spaghetti all over Jessica's head, I immediately threw my chicken bone at her and anything else I could reach.
Jake, Kim, Henry, Mark and Jessica were chucking food back at her, a few of Amelia's friends were helping her. I smiled, we were winning.
I chucked another bone, I felt a splat on my cheek from behind me.
I looked behind me, Nigel was in the cake, literally.
I looked up, Kyle was holding on a rope about to jump in too. I ran over to him, "Kyle!" I pointed to Amelia and nodded smiling.
He looked confused at first but he eventually got it, I ran and got Jake and Kim out of the way.
WHAM!
They both fell straight into the couch behind them.
"How dare you!?" she screamed at me.
"I'm sorry, Kyle must have slipped. Oops!"
Please review and tell me what you think!!!
