Hello all! Sorry I haven't been updating on the story! I've been busy with school, so yeah....
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING. MARK OWNS EVERY CHARACTER, EXCEPT FOR FUTURE OCs THAT WILL BE NAMED SOON.
A sudden crash startled the 17-year-old girl. Her blonde hair whipped around, as she spun to see the origin of the din.
"IT'S MINE!"
"NO, IT'S MINE!!"
Shelby sighed. Her siblings were angels. Said cynic walked up to her younger siblings, and shouted over their voices.
"OKAY." She exclaimed, causing the younger two to reel back in surprise. "What's going on here?"
"May says that the WWE wrestler action figure is hers. But it's MINE!" Shelby's brother Evan said, tugging said doll from his sister May's hands. She wouldn't let go.
"I bought it, so it's MINE!!!!" May retorted, tugging back at the poor little action figure.
"MINE!"
"MINE!"
Shelby groaned. Did they have to go through this every time they bought something new?
"You guys…," she said as patiently as she could. Which wasn't much, mind you. There was a visible vein popping in her skull, and she had the look of utter contempt on her face. Any normal person would have run for the mountains, screaming like a little girl if they'd seen it. Sadly enough, the younger siblings didn't notice.
"You do realize how extremely bothersome this is, right? Plus," she added. "You remember what I told you about what happens when there are people who are bothersome in my midst?" Shelby started to twitch.
"Holy crap." Evan said.
"RUN!!!" May exclaimed. The two siblings ran for the hills. Shelby calmed down.
"Shelby! Get down here! Jake wants to see you!" her mother shouted from the bottom of the stairs. Shelby smiled, and ran down. Whenever her friend and trainer Jake came, it meant that she would receive good news.
As she walked towards the kitchen where Jake would be, she recalled all the things that happened whenever he came by. Last time, he had announced that Shelby would compete in the Inter-Continental Taekwondo Competition Pre-Black Belt Division (which she had won). Before that, Jake said that she would be awarded a scholarship in a very prestigious college, for her prowess in taekwondo. Hopefully enough, this visit would be very memorable.
"Jake!" she said, running to hug her trainer. Said trainer returned the hug. "Shelby! Haven't seen you in a while. You've changed!"
'He's right there.' She thought. Her hair was definitely longer, and she had streaks of blue hair dye stylishly placed in her hair. She was a lot taller than when she last saw Jake (which was long, mind you). Jake changed too. His once short brown hair had grown out somewhat, tied into a short ponytail. He definitely got taller, and Shelby finally saw the once non-existent stubble on his chin. His muscular build hid his brotherly personality.
"I have good news, as usual." He said, smirking. Shelby sat down by the very large kitchen table, and he followed suit. "First, however," he said. "We have to call your family."
"Do we have to?" Shelby groaned. He nodded, and Shelby sighed. "Oh fine, you jerk." Shelby walked over to the intercom near their kitchen door. She typed in a seemingly random set of numbers.
"Everyone, come down to the kitchen. Jake says he has something to say to everyone." She said, walking quickly to the table to take a seat.
Suddenly, a distant sound resembling a stampede started. Shelby sighed.
"Three…Two…O—"
A giant crowd of people charged towards the kitchen door. The Trinity family charged down the door, and they all scrambled for seats. "What's the news?" Shelby's father asked. "Anything about Shelby's taekwondo prowess?" asked Shelby's older brother, who, sadly enough, had to stand up because of the loss of chairs. Jake's smile got bigger. "It's going to be the best thing that will happen to Shelby for a long time." He said, cueing the family to close in. One of the grandfathers even brought out his hearing aid.
"Shelby…" Everyone moved closer, yearning to hear Jake's words. Suddenly, Jake's cell phone rang. "Hello?" Jake answered, earning annoyed faces from the family.
"JAKE!" They said altogether. "Alright, alright, I was kidding." He said. He faced them (he had turned around when he "answered" his phone), and said, very quickly. "Shelby'sgoingtobepartofBattaladePaz."
The thing was, everyone caught his words.
There was pandemonium in the kitchen. Shelby's parents' mouths fell to the ground, her aunts and uncles whooped for joy, and the rest jumped high, shouting shamelessly. Shelby was speechless.
"You did it sister! You did it!" Evan and May said, dancing around her, former fright forgotten. Jake, hugged her parents, and her parents hugged him back. Shelby still couldn't believe her luck.
When the din drowned down, Jake spoke up. "Shelby had better start packing. She'll be leaving pretty soon, in about a week."
"Who's sponsoring her?" Her mother asked, hugging Shelby lovingly. "The entire training facility and me." Jake replied. Shelby smiled. She always knew that the taekwondo facility in her town always believed in her skills.
"Thanks, Jake." She told him sincerely, after the crowd left to make dinner. "You're welcome. But…" He rummaged through his pants pocket. "Ah, here it is." He said, holding up a small keychain. Shelby looked at him questioningly.
"It's a good luck charm. Whenever I had this around my neck, I always won every battle I faced as a taekwondo junior." He said, placing it in her hands. "It's yours now."
Shelby looked at his face. It was kindly, and sweet. She hugged him. "Thanks Jake." She said once again.
"You're welcome."
