We ran upstairs. Jessie led me over to a closed door covered in pink streamers and unicorn and mermaid posters.
"Zuri? Are you in there?" Jessie asked knocking on the door.
"Ya? Come in!" I heard a little girls voice come through the door.
Jessie opened the door and beckoned me in.
"Zuri, this is my sister, Abygail." Jessie said.
Zuri came running up to me and waved. Zuri was dark and had her braided hair put into pigtails. She was wearing a pink T-shirt and a pink tutu.
"Hi! I'm Zuri." She said giving me a little hug.
"Aww." I said, "Aren't you cute?"
"Thanks!" Zuri said. "So Jessie. Can you take me to the park? Millie the Mermaid needs some fresh air!"
"OK Zuri. Just give me a second. I'm just going to introduce Abygail to the other kids and then we'll show Abygail the park." Jessie said as she walked to the door with me following.
"OK! Thanks Jessie!" Zuri said as she shut the door behind us and went back to playing with her dolls.
We walked across the hall to a door covered in Indian pictures.
"Ravi, open up!" Jessie said knocking gently on the door. "I'm warning you. Ravi has a giant lizard."
"Thanks sis." I said as Ravi opened the door. Ravi was semi-dark and had short dark hair. He was wearing jeans and a simple orange T-shirt.
"Hello." Ravi said as he held out his hand.
"Hi. I'm Abygail, Jessie's sister." I said shaking his hand.
"Ravi," Jessie said. "I'm taking Zuri and Abygail to the park in about 5 minutes. If you want to come you can wait down in the living room for us."
"OK! Thanks Jessie!" Ravi said as he began to close the door. Then he popped his head back out. "Oh and nice to meet you Abygail." Then he shut the door.
We walked over to a door covered in Jordan Taylor posters, construction paper hearts and fashion magazine shrines.
Jessie knocked on the door and said, "Emma? Are you in there? There is someone I want you to meet."
A blonde girl with extremely beautiful clothes on opened the door.
"Emma, this is my sister Abygail." Jessie said.
"Hi! I'm Emma." She said.
"Hi Emma. I'm Abygail. Jessie and I are taking Zuri and Ravi to the park soon. Do you want to come?" I asked.
"Ya sure! I can finish my nature report out there!" Emma said excitedly.
"OK Emma. We will meet you in the living room. Don't forget all your supplies for the report." Jessie told Emma as she shut the bedroom door.
"Finally, Luke." Jessie said as she knocked on and opened the door across from Emma's.
"What do you want?" A voice said from the bed.
"Luke. It's Jessie. I want you to meet my sister." Jessie said.
The covers flew into the air and a boy with many freckles and short dark brown hair shot up from the bed. He was wearing stretchy pants and a green camouflage T-shirt.
"Hello." Luke said as he walked up to me.
Jessie pulled me aside and whispered in my ear. "Luke tries to hit on me everyday. He'll try it on you too!" She said.
"Thanks for the heads up sis." I said as we returned to talking to Luke.
Jessie said, "Luke we are heading to the park now. Wanna come?"
"Ya sure." Luke said. He grabbed his basketball and ran downstairs.
"Come on kids!" Jessie yelled. "We are heading to the park now!"
The kids ran out of their rooms and went downstairs.
"Come Abygail. I'm gonna grab my bag, my book and some food and stuff for us." Jessie said.
"OK!" I said and we headed downstairs.
Jessie grabbed some stuff and we headed down the elevator with the kids.
"Hey Tony." Jessie said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey Jessie. Where are you guys headed?" He asked.
"Oh I'm showing Abygail the park and taking the kids to play there." She Jessie.
"OK have fun guys!" Tony said as we walked out the door.
We waved and headed down the sidewalk to Central Park.
