Okay guys! Don't hate me, but some of the translation was messed up, so this is what it was supposed to say:
J: "Wow. Brown is your color."
G: "Listen bud, you better get outta here before I break you in half!"
J: "So, you're coming to the ball right?"
G: "Not with you I'm not"
J: "Well, then I'll take that as a yes. See you then girl ..."
Then we all know what adios means… (Bye)
Here's Chapter 7!
Kim's POV:
I run through the forest, my mind racing. What if he recognized me? Would he turn me in? Angel disappeared, what- Why did she leave me there with him?! I mean-wait. What if he is following me? I look back and I see no one there. Good. At least one question answered.
I see the camp in site and start to slow down, trying to look normal as possible, just as Mika and a mud covered- Grace Walk in.
"W-what happened to you?" I say as I laugh, earning me a glare from her. "I can say the same for you Kim, what's with the tank?" I smirk. "I asked you first!" Julie comes out from one of the tents, and when she sees Grace, she has to cover her mouth from laughing.
Grace was about to respond when Mika spoke up for her, "Well, Grace and I were coming from that new relaxing place further down in the town, by the way, it's WONDERFUL. But anyway, this Latino kid fails to catch a ball and ran into Grace taking them both into a pool of mud and ruining the three hours, by the way…but then they go in an all-out Spanish speaking war, but it was SO romantic!" Mika sighs and makes a heart with her hands.
"Thank you Mika." Grace said as she shot a glare to her. I smirk and cough. "Uh, you do know Mrs. A strictly banned us from going to any regular place, in fear of us being caught, and thrown into jail? And we all know what happens if that, and/or any rule is violated?"
Grace frowns and grumbles. "What do you want?" I smirk in victory, "Oh, just rember this when I need a favor..."
"O...kay…I'm going to take a bath, and try to scrub this mud off. I'll be back in time to eat dinner." Grace jogs towards the lake, her extra clothes with her.
"Here, Mika, help me with dinner? Julie, can you run to the village, and grab some fruits, and maybe some veggies? Here's some money I took from earlier, spend it wisely. It took A LOT for me to take it off that clingy guy." I hand the money to Julie and I walk with Mika to one of the tents to get the supplies to start dinner.
Julie's POV:
I put my red hoodie on and walk down to the local town's vegetable garden. I walk to the veggies and put a couple in a basket, and then I go to the fruits and pick a couple of apples, and take a hand full of grapes and put them in a sack. I turn to leave, then I rember I forgot the tomatoes.
"I don't even know why they put the tomatoes in the fruit section. Tomatoes are obviously a vegetable…" I turn to see a group of rich looking kids, nodding their heads in agreement to the kid with the red hair's statement.
I laugh quietly and shake my head in disagreement. 'This kid doesn't know what he's talking about…' I think to myself.
"I mean, am I right, as always, or wrong? Like I never am?" The group of kids reply in a laugh, and they all answer the same, 'yes', 'of course!', 'Your always correct Milton!', 'Man, you're so smart!'.
This 'Milton' kid needs to recheck his work- you know what?
I walk up to this kid and tap him on his shoulder. He turns around and looks at me. "Yes?" I slightly look at him not showing my face; but the higher part of my hood.
"Excuse me, I hate to interrupt, but your statement is incorrect…tomatoes are fruits…" He laughs and turns his head to his friends, "Can you believe this guy? Me? Milton Krubnick, incorrect?" His friends snicker and point at me.
Milton turns back to me, "Please. Do you know me? I am the highest scorer in my whole school. And I'm in the 's pretty impressive." He smirks in victory until I hold a finger up.
"First. You're not that impressive if you think a tomato belongs in the vegetable section of the food pyramid. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant although, cultivated forms may be seedless."
His eyes narrow a little as his friends stand back in shock. "No one's ever questioned Milton before…" I heard one of the friends say.
Milton scoffs. "As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes or bean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savory rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example."
I smirk. "So what you're saying, the answer to the question is that a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it's used as a vegetable in cooking. And to sum it all up for you 'smartest kid in my class'," I poke his chest accusingly;
"Tomatoes are considered fruits."
The friends in the back ground 'oh', and 'awe'. As Milton stares at me in shock.
He crunches his eyebrows together, like he's thinking. It's kinda…Cute.
"Fine buddy. If you're so smart, express pie."
I roll my eyes. "3.145"
M: He takes a step forward."Take 9 from 6, 10 from 9, and 50 from 40 and leave 6."
J: "6." I step forward too, tilting my head up a bit.
M: "Add 2 to 200 four times." He moves closer.
J: I smirk. 'Obviously it's a trick question…' "202, 202, 202, 202." I look up at his eyes.
M: "If ax*x + bx +c = 0, then what is x?" He smirks and his friends whisper behind him, 'He'll never get this one! Even Milton didn't get it the first few times…"
J: I fire back instantly, "(a)x*x + (b)x + (c) = 0, d*d = b*b - 4ac (-b +/- d)/2a=x. Simple. Any more questions?"
He stares in amazement, and his friends freak out. "He did it! He- what? OMG OMG!"
By this time, me and him are face to face, and the way my head is tilted backwards, it causes my red hood to fall, and he sees my face. His eyes widen, and the friends behind, their mouths were, 'O', shaped.
"H-He was beaten b-by a girl…" Someone manages to stammer. "Uh, time to go!" I put my hoodie back on and grab my basket, and run over to the lady who collects the money for the items.
"Oh, Julie honey! Nice seeing you again! How are the girls?" Mrs. Jennings asks me as she starts racking my items up. "Oh, well they're fine, thanks for asking!" I smile at her and put my stuff on the counter, and putting my hood down to look at her. I turn back around to see 'Milton' waving away his friends. I turn back to Mrs. J.
Mrs. Jennings, and her son were the only ones who knew us well, and knew about our…'business'. Her son was super nice, and was our age. His name is Gale, and he works down at the bakery. He visits often too. (A/N Lol…see what I did there? Only the Hunger Games Fans will get that…) were all good friends, but Kim is mostly hanging out with him. They've been best friends ever sense they were little. What I heard from Mika, was that whenever Kim had a problem, or an issue, she'd go to Gale for some guidance.
"Here, take this to my special little girls, as a treat." She reaches behind the counter and pulls out a small cake, in a container, wrapped up. I smile graciously and accept the gift. "Thanks Mrs. J!" I reach in my pocket to grab the money Kim gave me, but before I could grab it out of my pocket, I feel a soft hand on mine.
I look up to see the Milton kid smirking. "Here I got it." He turns around to reach for his back pocket as I roll my eyes, and turn back to Mrs. J.
I see her smiling, and she mouths, 'Who's that?'
I mouth back, 'Some kid from the upper side.'
She smiles widely. 'You two would make a great couple…'
I blush and look down, as Milton hands Mrs. Jennings the money. "There you are Madam." Mrs. J takes the money, and puts it in her sack. "Have a great day you two." She winks at me before she turns to another customer. I take my stuff, and start heading out.
He jogs back up to me, and paces at my side.
He scratches his neck nervously. "You know, if I knew you were a girl, I wouldn't have been so rough back there… I wanted to apologize for that…" I smirk at his apology and nod my head in understanding. "It's okay."
We walk for about five minutes, when he starts up again;
"Uh, pretty impressive skills back there. You know, I don't say this often, but you know if you wanted to, maybe you should send in an application to Seaford High's ACP? You could be the first girl who has the skills to make the Advanced Classes Program…"
I think to myself, 'That's not such a bad idea! I mean, the girls can go to school, and the best part, I could make the AAC!'
I smile, and look up at him. "Thanks for the offer…but I'll have to talk it over with Mrs.-I mean, my mom…" His face showed a hint of confusion, and then it was gone.
"So, umm, can I walk you home? I mean, there are a lot of bad people, and research shows that 46%-"I giggle, and then put my hand in his. "Sure. I'd love that…" He looks at our hands then his face turns a unique shade of red, as he looks ahead smiling.
We walk in a nice, comfortable silence, when we approach the edge of the trees. "Wait, where's your house?" Milton looks around in confusion then asks me, "Why are you going into the forest?"
I think, and answer quickly, "Well, you know, my grandma has a little house in the woods, and my mom asked me to deliver these fruits and veggies to her…"
He smiles and laughs. "Well, make sure you don't talk to any stray wolves Mrs. Little Red Riding Hood…" I ponder on his statement, and then realization strikes me. 'Really Julie? You're wearing a red hood, with a basket heading into a forest. Great going!'
I giggle, and he laughs. "Oh, I almost forgot, mind telling me your name?" I smile at him, "Its Julie." He smiles and says, "Julie. I like that name. My name is Mil-"
I gather all my courage and interrupt him by kissing him on the cheek.
"Good Night Milton." I say as I smile and walk towards the woods, leaving behind a blushing, stuttering Krubnick.
No one's POV:
"Great, Julie! You here! Now we can start cooking." Mika says as she gets the basket, and starts washing off the food.
"What's that?" Kim asks as she stirs the boiling water over the fire. Julie pulls out the cake Mrs. Jennings gave to her, and opens it up. "Oh, Mrs. Jennings wanted us to have this as a treat." Kim looks at it and smiles in appreciation. "Yum! Chocolate! My favorite!"
Julie smirks and pulls the cake away from her. "Nope, not until you eat your veggies!" Kim pretends to pout like a five year old, and then laughs along with Julie and Mika.
As soon as Mika is finished cleaning the veggies she puts them in the water to boil, then she put in some chicken broth, and stirred it. (A/N If any of you love soup like I do, think of the soup like the soup from Olive Garden! I LOVE IT.)
Kim went into one of the tents, and grabbed five bowls, and placed them outside. Just as Kim was setting up, Grace comes in with changed clothes, and her hair wet. "Is dinner ready yet?" She tilts her head, in attempt to get the water out of her ear.
Mika responds excitedly, "Yes it is! I think it's my best piece yet!" Mika takes out a spoon, and dips it into the soup, and pours it into the bowls. "Dinner is served!" She smiles and begins eating.
"Oh, sense you didn't do much to help, you have to give Mrs. A her food, Grace." Grace grumbles and gets up and walks to Mrs. A's tent with her food.
"So Julie was Gale there at the garden today?" Kim asks mouth full. "No, I bet he was at the Bakery working." Kim nods her head in understanding, and continues to eat. After a few minutes, Grace comes back and sits down and eats.
They all enjoy their soups in a quiet circle.
"I think we should enroll in school…" Julie mumbles. The three girls drop their spoons in disbelief. "School? You want us to go to school?" She nods her head. "Come on guys. School isn't that bad. Plus, when we get too old for, 'this', we can have something to fall back on!"
Kim points out, "Jewels. Grace speaks 5 different languages. Mika has an amazing cooking talent. You're already smart, and I am an expert at planning, and devising anything. We already have stuff to fall back on."
Julie was about to respond when Mrs. A comes out of her tent. "Juliana is correct. You four need to go to school."
We were all about to interfere when she cut us off. "Gracene. Kimberly. Mikanna. What's done is done. You will be attending school. Whether you like it or not. Starts Monday, don't be late. I will set everything up tomorrow. After school, you will resume your usual jobs."
She walks over to the pot, and fills her bowl up once again. "Goodnight girls." And she walks back to the tent.
The three girls groan while Julie squeals in delight. "This is going to be SO much fun!"
Kim mumbles,
"Yeah. SO much fun."
A/N
