So here is the first chapter of the story!
For all of the characters going to Hollywood Arts I made it so this is their first year there even though most of them will be Juniors, I hope that is OK.
Disclaimer: The only things I own are Molly, Brett, Carson, Amanda, and Kyle, everything thing else belongs to their rightful owners!
Jade's POV
Any normal teenager would be out with there friends for one more fun day the day before school starts, but not me, Jade West, nope instead I'm sitting in my living room and watching TV with one of my 'sisters' and best friends, Ryan, while babysitting my other foster siblings.
"Hey Ry, are you excited for your first day of Hollywood Arts?" I asked when the commercials came on.
"Yeah, I can't wait! Is there anything I should bring tomorrow?" questioned Ryan, my extremely talented 'sister' who hates just about everything I do!
"You should bring your guitar, you might need it. Oh that reminds me," I stood up and walked towards the front door.
"Everyone get down here now," I shouted up the stairs, and in a split second a few shouts of, "I'm in the middle of something" "What" and the ever famous "Your not in charge of me" that I hear everyday from Carson, my six year old 'little brother' who always thinks he can be in charge of himself.
"I don't care what you are doing it will be only a minute, or else I will wake you all super early tomorrow morning," I shouted, that did the trick because in a minute they were all in front of me quietly ready to listen to what I had to say.
"Ok now that you are all down here I wanted to tell you that since tomorrow is the first day of school I want all of you to have your bags packed down hear by the front door to grab easily and if you want a packed lunch tell me now so I can have it ready."
There was a course of OKs and a few head nods.
Then everyone went running up stairs to get there things except Lilac, Molly, Seirra, and Noah, the four youngest in the house who I have raised since they got here.
"What are Molly and I going to do tomorrow, we don't go to school yet," questioned Lilac, the blue eyed little girl had always acted calm around me but I could never figure out why.
Molly and Lilac normally had a babysitter but she had moved away this summer to New York so I had to think of something to do with them quickly.
"I don't know yet but I will have something ready by tomorrow morning, Seirra and Noah can you please go to your rooms a pick out something nice to wear for your first day of preschool."
"Yeah, come on Seirra, race you," yelled Noah, the small four year old who had a way of bothering me everyday since he has been here, as he started up the stairs, Seirra started to run until I reminded her she has asthma and therefore couldn't race, so she walked up the stairs instead.
I slowly walked to the kitchen to start dinner when my phone rang, it was Beck for the fifth time today and he was most likely going to ask me to go to the beach again, and I would say I can't and hang up.
My friends don't know I am in foster care and therefore don't know I have to babysit, they think I have rich parents and I live in a huge fancy apartment building but that is only half true I do live in a fancy apartment building but not in an apartment, I live in the superintendent's house that in down the alley beside the apartments. The only reason we live here is because my foster dad, Kyle Smith, is the super of the building and has to work from seven to five everyday. My foster mom, Amanda Smith, also works from seven in the morning to five at night. That means that the oldest in the house has to watch all of the others, that was fine with me until I turned thirteen and my last older sibling turned eighteen and left now I am the oldest and I live here with eighteen other kids. I watch all of them everyday a lot of them are old enough to take care of themselves so they are no problem but a lot need me there to watch over them.
I decided to just ignore the call and start on the spaghetti and meatballs I am making for dinner. Just then I heard running down the stairs and Peyton showed up in the kitchen holding her keyboard and bag for school.
"Hey, I am so excited tomorrow is my first day of Hollywood Arts!" yelled Peyton, one of my best friends in this house and an amazing pianist (even better than Andre), "should I bring my keyboard or should I leave it here? I wasn't sure because I might not needed it and then end up carrying it everywhere, but on the other hand I could play it at lunch or. . ."
"PEYTON," I screamed, don't get me wrong I love Peyton but sometimes she talks too much. "You should bring it to school, and if you don't need it just put it in your locker."
"Ok and where should I put my bag?"
"By the front door so that you don't forget it like you did last year."
Peyton walked away just as Brett walked up with his backpack and football bag for school.
"Hey should I put my bag by the door too," questioned Brett, my sixteen year old 'brother' with jet black hair and baby blue eyes.
"No you can put it in the van because I am bringing you to school before I bring the others to HA."
"Ok where are the keys?"
"On the table by the front door."
I know what you're thinking Jade West drives a van, but I don't always do. Last year I would drop some of the others off the come back here and would either drive my convertible or Beck would pick me up in front of the building. This year though my 'sisters' Peyton, Junette, Marie, Jessica, Milicent, and Ryan all tried out for Hollywood Arts and got in so I have to drive them to school now because none of them have their driver's license.
I started with the sauce for dinner when Carson, Will, Avery, Lily, and May all came running down stairs holding their bags for school and ran up to me.
"Are you driving us to school tomorrow?" asked Will, my black haired 'little brother' who happens to be a certified genius.
"Yes but only you, because Carson, Avery, Lily, and May you four are taking a bus to your school because I don't have time to drive to four schools and your bus stop is the closest."
"When does the bus come to get us?" questioned Lily, my witty yet mature younger 'sister'.
"At eight o'clock, and school starts at eight-twenty this year instead of eight-ten."
"Why does it start later?" came the muffled response of May, one of my closest friends at the house who always wears and scarf around her mouth and a hood over her head even when sleeping.
"I think I had something to do with teacher meetings or something," I answered as I turned back towards the dinner to make sure it didn't burn.
Will ran outside, and Carson, Avery, Lily, and May put their stuff by the front door. I turned back to dinner and it was just about finished with the sauce and I just had to drain the spaghetti.
Five minutes later dinner was finished and on the counter for them to grab when I called them down. I went to the cabinets and grabbed five bowls and quickly served out five small portions for Molly, Seirra, Noah, Lilac, and me.
I then walked to the living room to find Lilac and Molly watching Kipper on the TV.
"Lilac can you go and get Seirra and Noah for me?" I asked the little girl with short dirty blonde hair. She quickly nodded her head and walked towards the stairs.
"Hey Molly, how was your day?"
"Good," answered Molly, the small girl has been her since she was born and only talks to me for some reason.
That is when I heard the front door open and Amanda and Kyle walked in to the house and towards the living room.
"Hi Jade, was everyone good today?" questioned Amanda.
"Yes, dinner is ready it is on the counter just serve yourself, I was just about to call everyone down as soon as Lilac gets down here with Noah and Seirra so they don't get stampeded. Everyone is ready for school tomorrow, I think," I replied quickly.
"I am ready now," announced Jim, my fourteen 'brother' he never seems to look me in the eye and Kyle says he is scared of me, but I have never done anything to him. . . ok maybe I did once or twice but I'm mean to Tori five times worse and she always seems to come back for more.
"Ok just put your bag in the van and then you can grab dinner from the kitchen."
We walked outside just as Noah came running down the stairs singing 'I just can't wait to be king' when he stopped in front of me, he stopped singing and looked up at me with his big blue eyes.
"Dinner is ready it is on the counter go and get it," I told Noah and Molly, they nodded and ran off to the kitchen, on Noah's way by the stairs he told Seirra and Lilac what I told him and they all went to the kitchen.
"Everyone dinner is ready," I called up the stairs, and just like that there was a stampede of kids running down the stairs to eat, last down was Stevie holding her book bag.
"Here is my stuff where should I put it," questioned Stevie, one of my best friends who like me enjoys making trouble.
"In the car. We are leaving at six-forty in the morning to get you to Malibu so please wake up on time or else every other person in this house will be late to school tomorrow."
"Ok."
She walked outside and put her bag in the front seat of my van then walked back in and towards the kitchen.
I went in to the kitchen to grab my food then went back into the living room and turned on a movie that everyone can watch. Tonight I picked The Game Plan, one of my favorite movies, and sat on the couch to watch it.
Slowly everyone either drifted to the living room to watch the movie or their rooms to do whatever.
By the end of the movie it was around seven-fifteen so I brought Molly, Lilac, Noah, and Seirra upstairs to take a bath and change into their pajamas.
"What story do you want tonight?" I asked over by the girls' bookshelf and turned to them, each on their own bed except Noah who was lying on Seirra's bed and I would bring him up when I was done.
"Jadey I don't want to go to school I'm scared," announced Seirra lying on her bed under the covers, she looked like she was about to start crying in her bed.
"Me too!" said Noah, now that he had time to think about it, it seemed like a very scary experience.
"I know just the thing, I will be right back," I said while walking out of the room and running up the stairs to my bedroom. In my dresser I kept a book that I knew would do the trick. I ran back down the stairs and reentered the room.
"I was really scared before my first day of school, so Amanda read this to me and it helped me a lot. So ever since then I read it to everyone else before there first day of school," I said as I was walking towards the bed, then held up 'The Kissing Hand'.
When I had finished reading it Molly and Lilac were asleep in their beds, and Seirra and Noah looked more confident about their upcoming school day.
I walked up between Lilac and Molly's beds and gave them both a kiss on the head, then walked over to Seirra's bed and gave her a kiss on the head, "Goodnight," I whispered, then picked Noah up and placed hip on my hip and walked to the door. When I got to the door I looked back one more time to make sure everything was in place, then shut the light and walked out of the room shutting the door behind me. Then walked up the stairs towards Noah's bedroom and put him into bed. I quickly gave him a kiss on the head made sure both Carson and Will were asleep and turned off the light as I walked out of the room.
I immediately went into my room and put on shorts and a tank top and got into bed, falling asleep as soon as my head hit my pillow nervous about what would happen tomorrow.
