Huzzah!
More characters are introduced! More of the crazy family!
Sort of just a filler, but at least it gives the story depth?
(That was a nice way of saying that it was a brain fart that I turned into something better!)
Go on then, read it.
Chapter 3 - Emos
"So" Chase muttered awkwardly. He flipped his black side fringe out of his face. We sat silently in the car for a while. Fish, our three month old Labrador jumped from the back of the car and licked my face.
"Fish! Stop it!" I exclaimed, pushing her away from me. Chase had trouble holding on to the wheel during his fits of laughter as I wiped the drool of my face. I scowled at him as he drove. He just grinned at me. Then I realized we weren't on our usual route home.
"Uh, Chase? Where are we going?" I asked, my head swiveling around as I tried to make sense of where we were. Then just as I saw the giant half pipe, I heard the sound of a crowd of boys coming this way.
"Yo Chase!" I heard Dean, Chase's best friend yelled out. His black hair was styled just like Chase's, his two snake bites glinting in the sun. His blue eyes stood out of his not-tan-not-pale skin. I guess that he would look handsome to others but to me, he was like another brother. But not to Jade. A couple of Chase's other friends walked over with Dean, all of them had a side fringe, in different, and even crazy styles.
Emo boys I scoffed silently. One looked like Jesse McCartney only with black hair. One looked like he had lost a bet with his hair dresser. There were eight colors in his hair, the top of it red, so it looked like it was on fire. There was one boy who looked smaller than the others, younger than too. I recognized him as Ethan, Marshal's younger brother by three years, two years older than me. Marshal was the one whose hair was on fire and I laughed a little when I thought of an emo named Marshal. When Ethan saw me looking at him, he grinned excitedly. He waved at me and ran over.
"Hey Ell" he exclaimed, hugging me with what I though a little to much enthusiasm. Ethan had a small crush on me. I found out when I had heard my brother and his friends teased him about it a little too loudly. Of course he didn't know I knew and I always kept it that way, sending him subtle messages when he got to close or held my hand. Like now, I shrugged out of his arms sneakily. I smiled at him slightly and walked towards the car. "Ah ah ah" I head Chase say as he put his hand on my shoulder. "What?" I asked, glancing back at the car.
"Ladies first" he stated as he gestured for Ethan to go first. I rolled my eyes at Chase as Ethan walked past and blushed, looking at me in the corner of his eye. The rest of his friends filled into the car, leaving very little room for Fish.
"Where am I supposed to sit?" I asked, incredulous.
"Right there" Chase grinned evilly as he pointed to the front seat, where Ethan was sitting, pretending not to know that I had to sit on his lap. I muttered unintelligibly as I walked over to the seat and sat down hard. Ethan heaved as the wind got knocked out of him, but he didn't complain. All the guys in the back, including my brother, were laughing and snickering at us. I growled.
"Whoa, you gotta look out for this one. She's feisty!" Jase, the McCartney look-a-like commented. I punched his arm. Chase finally got in the car and started to drive. It was a thirty minute drive from my school to our house. Mum wouldn't normally drive that long, but since it was a school for the Special and Talented children and they paid for my tuition. The guys in the back were rambling on about some girl named Stacey and how hot she looked in cheer leading. I shook my head at them and looked out of the windscreen. We just drove up the drive way. Before the car fully stopped I yanked the door open and sprang out of my seat. "Duck, tuck and roll!" One of the boys yelled
When I finally stopped rolling, I dusted the grit and stones from my knees as I walked towards the house. As I approached it, I marveled at it. It was a classic Victorian house, with a few modernized parts. The Caribbean blue stood out against the surrounding jade trees and neighboring houses. The front deck was a rich mahogany brown, the same color of the inside stair case. I got into the house before the guys did, and I heard my sister singing from the shower. Just then, all the boys came in, all freezing when they heard Jade.
"Carry on my wayward son. They'll be peace when you are done…" Jade belted out from her shower from across the house, and I could hear as she tried to imitate the guitar solo from the song.
"Dean, I think she's calling you." Chase snickered.
"Shut up!" Dean pushed Chase towards the lounge room.
I rolled my eyes at them as I went to follow to the lounge. All the guys dropped on the couches and started talking very loudly when someone wet bumped into me.
"Excuse me" I heard Jade say from behind me. I turned around to see my sister in a towel, her hair dripping down her back. She opened the fridge and poured herself some juice in a glass. By now, all the guys, apart from my brother who was shielding his eyes, were watching Jade with unnecessary intent. I would have told her to go put some clothes on but I was past speaking. She turned around and then she started when she saw all the boys staring at her.
"Um…I don't know you" She pointed to Marshal.
"It's Marshal" He winked at Jade and she licked her lips.
"You can call him Mary, 'cos everyone else does" Dean interjected quickly, trying to make them stop flirting with each other, I guessed.
"Oh…okay" She skipped off in her towel, just after she winked at Dean.
"Bye Mary" She called over her shoulder
So, yeah, like I said. Nothing productive. But at least you get to laugh.
So, again. Reviews anyone?
That'd be nice ^_^
So, can't wait until next chapter! I promise, it'll be better.
