HEY. SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN FOREVER :/ BUT I'M HERE NOW. :D
I'M WATCHING THE CORSPE BRIDE... JUST WHAT? OKAY. ENOUGH OF ME TALKING. HERE'S YOUR CHAPTER.
(OH AND IF YA DIDN'T KNOW, I PUT LINKS IN MY BIO TO WHAT ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS STORY LOOK LIKE IN MY IMAGINATION.)
I SERIOUSLY DON'T OWN A THING.
Saying goodbye to everyone makes me sad. I hug everyone, even Elsie who has gone back to her normal bratty self.
"Why'd we even bother coming here? It was a total waste of time." She says to Aunt Suzan. "This is so retarded. You know I had to study for that science test. Now I'm going to fail and it'll be all your fault. God, Mom. I hate you so much."
Aunt Suzan ignores her and helps Uncle Warren load their mini van.
I make a face at Beth and Mere behind Elsie's back. They make annoyed faces back then quickly straighten up when Aunt Susan turns around. "Alrighty then. We're finished. Come on girls. It's a four hour trip back to Sacramento."
I hug Mere and Beth again and we promise to text or call each other ASAP.
I go back onto the porch with everyone that's left and wave as their car disappears down the long driveway. I go back inside.
Uncle Sean and Mom are talking inside. Mom looks frustrated and Uncle Sean looks really desperate.
"Please, Sarah. Just a week or two. Just so we can get settled. Please?" He begs.
"Sean. You've done things like this before. 'Oh just a week.' or 'I promise I'll come back' then I'm stuck with whatever you leave with me. Now your own daughter?" Mom seethes.
Uncle Sean sighs. "I would never, ever leave my daughter. Ever. I'll come back. I will."
I know I shouldn't be listening so I go back out on the porch with Grandma, Grandpa Lindley and Prim. It feels so empty here without all my cousins.
A few minutes later, Mom and Uncle Sean come back out. "Lindley? How would you like to stay with Aunt Sarah for awhile?"
Lindley thinks for a moment. "Stay with Aunt Susan? And Katniss and Prim, too?"
"Of course." He says.
"Okay." Lindley smiles.
Mom looks over at Uncle Sean. "Just while we're house-hunting. I promise." Uncle Sean tells her.
So I guess Lindley will be with us.
It takes forever, but we get home. It has that weird empty feel. Mom pulls out Prim's trundle bed so Lindley has a place to sleep. I check out my window and see Madge is home. She literally jumps in the air with excitement when she sees me.
"Katniss!" I hear her muffled shout through my closed window.
She writes something on her paper and holds it up. How was it?
A lot of fun. I write back.
Lindley is home-schooled so we just put her in day-care with a stack of little work-sheets on adding two plus two and spelling cat.
I take Prim to her school then go to my own. Johanna hugs me first.
"I got a new straightener, one million times better than the old one." She says happily. We go sit at our table and I notice Glimmer and Cashmere glaring at us like usual.
"What a little brat, she's always looking at us like that." Clove says and scowls back at them. Foxface sticks out her tongue.
Johanna's little sister, Lauren chooses the wrong moment to walk in front of Glimmer and Cashmere's table. Glimmer sticks her leg out and Lauren walks right into it and trips. Even though it wasn't me, it's the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen.
Johanna stands straight up her brown eyes have gone almost black. She bolts over and grabs Glimmer by the collar of her shirt and lifts her almost two feet of the ground.
Our group rushes over. "Stop!" We shout.
Madge and Foxface help Lauren up and Clove and I stand on either side of Johanna, not exactly sure what to do.
Johanna is shouting at Glimmer some not very nice things. Glimmer is almost crying. Cashmere is still sitting down and looking shocked.
"That is my sister! You don't mess with my family, ever! You touch any of my sisters again and you die! You hear me? Die!" Johanna is still holding Glimmer up. I didn't know she was so strong.
"Johanna, put her down. You don't want to get in trouble. Come on." I pull at her arm. Johanna ignores me.
I look at Clove behind Johanna's back. "What are we going to do?" I mouth.
"I don't know." Clove mouths back.
"Excuse me, ladies."
I stop and turn slowly. Principal Snow is standing a few feet away, his arms crossed and he looks ticked.
"To my office. All of you."
AHH! OKAY, I WILL UPDATE SOON. I'M TRYING TO NOT BE SO BUSY BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT, IT'S MY PARENTS!
