Okay because I want to include a new character in this chapter and both of the reviews gave me really good ideas for one I'm going to use the name, and appearance from the character Dude-in-the-cool-hat reviewed and the Back ground/past, dislikes and likes and the clothing style that a guest reviewed. Thank's for the ideas guys!
"Okay everyone we have a new girl coming today," Mike announced to everyone at breakfast. "Hope she's not gonna be a weirdo like Gus," Electra said. Everybody laughed. "Electra," Mike warned her sternly. "Her name is Sam Carter and she's 13 years old so I expect you all to make her feel welcome okay?" Most people nodded.
Fifteen minutes later Erin, Electra, Rick and Frank were sat in the lounge cards when the doorbell rang. "Can someone get that please?" They heard Mike call. "We would!" Electra shouted back, "but we're in the middle of a really important game here." They heard Mike sigh loudly. Five minutes later they heard the familiar, "Hi, I'm Mike Milligan welcome to Elm Tree would you mind stepping into the office?" They all laughed.
"Next he'll be inviting her to dinner at his house," Rick said, laughing. "God Mike really goes overboard sometimes doesn't he?" Erin said, smiling. "Yes!" Electra, Frank and Rick said simultaneously before bursting into laughter.
Suddenly Mike appeared in the doorway staring at the giggling teens. "What's so funny?" He asked, confused. "Anyway this is Sam," Mike said as a girl appeared in the doorway. By this time the Erin and Electra were nearly crying with laughter and couldn't even stop to say hi to the new girl. Rick and Frank were trying to stop but one look at the two girls set them off again.
"Guys can you all stop being so childish and try and act your age, Electra you're the eldest I expect better of you." Mike said. "Sorry Mike," Erin said, coughing to try and stop herself from laughing.
Finally after five more minutes had passed they began to calm down. None of them had acknowledged the 13 year old girl standing in the doorway who had been there for the past ten minutes. "Right now you've all stopped being such idiots, this is Sam," Mike said as he left the room.
They all studied Sam carefully. Erin thought her clothing style was really nice. She had on a pair of blue skinny jeans and a rolling stones logo shirt, completed with red converse and spiky bands and bracelets. She was tall and had short blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hey like Mike said I'm Sam," she said quietly. "Hey I'm Erin," Erin said, holding her hand out, "this is my boyfriend Rick, Frank and Electra." Sam shook her hand. "Do you wanna play?" Frank asked, showing the cards. Sam nodded. "Okay then let's play," Rick said, smiling.
Frank being a complete genius when it came to cards thrashed them all at the game. "Right I'm bored now," Electra said, chucking all her cards into the air. "Same," Erin said, throwing her cards down.
"Okay well I want to get to know you all abit better, so is there anything I need to know. "Right," Erin started, "Well, I have claustrophobia and I have panic attacks just to warn you, don't get on the wrong side of Electra she'll attack anyone who does, Frank had cerebral palsy and Rick has a brain tumour."
Sam gasped at the last bit. "Do you really?" She asked Rick. He nodded, "Yeah but don't worry because I survived my operation so I should be fine now." Sam nodded.
"So, why are you in care?" Electra asked her. "Electra that stuffs private you can't just go around asking random people," Erin said. Rick and Frank nodded in agreement. "No it's alright I don't mind telling, you four seem pretty decent. "Okay if you're sure," Erin said. Sam nodded as she began to explain.
"Well when I was four my parents split up and until the age of six my mum took care of me and my sister Shine who was 10 at the time but then mum died of cancer so we had to go and live with my dad and his new wife, they didn't hurt us but they always neglected us and left us for days to fend for ourselves while they went partying or just locked us in our rooms so when I was 12 and Shine was 17 we ran away and Shine got a job at a nightclub, one night the fire alarm went off there and Shine was killed by the heard of people trying to get out as she was trampled to death, social services found me and brought me here."
Erin stood up and hugged Sam, "I'm so sorry." A familiar smell hit Sam. Erin wore the same perfume Shine used to wear. Tears brimmed in Sam's eyes. "C'mon we'll go and find out where your room is," Erin said, pulling her out.
Just gonna clarify the ages of everyone cause I haven't exactly made it very clear throughout the story. Harry 8, Jody 10, Tyler, Tee and Carmen 12, Johnny, Erin, Rick and Sam 13, Frank and Electra 15, Faith 16 (I know this isn't there proper ages in the program but this is their ages in my version!) P.S I know Floss is meant to be here but I don't want to put her in this story. Darci x x
