(AN) I am ashamed of you people. ASHAMED! I have officially given up on getting four reviews out of you guys, so, from now on, two will have to suffice. So now: SHOUT OUTS!
Thank you to:
Otaksufa: For answering the questions
And Pinkiepie0706? You never lectured me when I came over...
Disclaimer: Why do we have to do a disclaimer every time? I already know that I don't own 39 Clues, you don't have to rub it in. :(
Natalie POV
I step off that disgustingly filthy school bus when I see that my idiot of a brother has done it again; talked to a stupid, poor girl. He did it last week too, but a different one, this girl looks nothing like her. New Girl has long, dirty blonde hair and I can't see her eyes because she's hiding them with her hair. She's wearing all light grey (so last season don't you think?) she fell over her long, skinny legs. I sigh and then see another guy, more around my age, coming over to my brother and New Girl. I quietly hide behing a tree so they can't see me watching them, sneakiness is my speciality. The last time he talked to a peasant girl Mother found out and she grounded us both, saying, "Their stupidity will rub off on you! This is your one and only warning." And that is why we had to take that filthy bus! And the reason I am grounded along with him? Well... it sort of went like this:
- Flashback -
I stepped out of our stretch limo, almost missing the smudge on the rhinestone KABRA licence plate. I decided not to mess with it right then, yeah, it's going to bother me the rest of the day, but being late again would not be tolerable for a perfect person like moi. But when my brother stepped out after me, he decided that it couldn't wait.
"Winston! Clean that up would you? We don't pay you to be lazy." Ian screamed at our limo driver. 'Isn't his name Kingston?' I wanted to ask, but before I could, someone spoke. "Actually sir, it's Kingston." I knew it! But Ian, being the boob that he is, ruined it for me.
"Do I really look like I care Winston?" Ian says, "Now, clean it up before I tell mother!"
I noticed a girl staring a us from an old tree. She had spiky black hair, blue eyes, and was listening to an iPod. Her all black and silver outfit almost made me feel sorry for her. I couldn't look at her for more than twenty seconds before my eyes burned for being fashion deprived. I looked at Ian and saw that he had noticed her as well and was walking toward her.
"What's wrong? My handsomeness too much for you to bear?" Ian asked her, "What's your name sweetheart?"
"Taliah, and, no, there are plenty of cute guys at this school who are way less rude and obnoxious than you are, thank you very much." she said back to him, rolling her eyes. They stared at each other for a moment and I could see tat some sort of insult war was about to start if I didn't drag Ian away quickly.
"Whatever" I said, annoyed, "Come on Ian. We mustn't be late. I have my class and you have ours, let's go."
- End of Flashback -
And after that Ian couldn't keep his mouth shut and told Mother what happened, every little detail. Including the part about me saying something. And that is how we both got grounded.
So I watch Ian talk to the girl and then I see the other boy walk up. This boy also has blonde, almost brown, hair and has bright, happy, jade eyes. But right now, he just looks extremely annoyed as he walks up to my brother and the girl. Ian says something that makes the other guy smile slyly, and then say something else. I see Ian's face curve into and look of confusion but it quickly disappears. I stifle a giggle and move out from behind the tree as Ian walks over to me.
"So, who's that brother dear?" I say sweetly.
"Why do you care?" he asks, "Think he's cute or something?"
"Shut up you idiot! No, I was asking about the girl. You have a thing for peasants now?"
He mutters something that I can't hear.
"What's that Ian? I can't hear you." I say, smiling ever-so-innocently.
"I said, her name is Amy, and that lovely young fellow is her brother, Dan Cahill."
Well then, Cahills, get ready, because the next time you talk to Natalie Kabra you will face the consequences.
(AN) Remember to be ashamed of yourselves. My reviews have lately been at a low, but I was hoping this story might help me out a bit, but you people have failed me. :(
On a happier note: Answer these four questions.
1) Was Natalie in character here?
2) Pink or Purple? (Purple)
3) Does Taliah remind you of any other book characters? (I'll tell you who she's based off of in the next chapter)
4) Apple Juice or Grape Juice? (they pretty much tie for me)
Two reviews to update, REVIEW FOR THE SAKE OF THE LIVES OF MANY INNOCENT STUFFED PIGS! (don't ask...seriously)
