West side story

9 years old

I hear mom and da fighting in the other room. I can't make out exactly what they are saying, but I know they are yelling. . Me and my older sister Velma sit in my room with our ears to the door. Velma is 11 . two years older than me. Suddenly the door slams and we hear foot steps walking in our direction. we immediately scramble to get away from the door. it opens and we see mom standing in the door way. she had tears running down your face. she walked in and sat on my bed. Velma an I walk over and sit with her. " Daddy isn't going to e back for a long time okay?" she barely mumbled out. " what happened?" Velma asked. Mom took a deep breathe. " We are getting a divorce." " what's that's?" I ask confused. " That means that mommy and daddy aren't going to be together anymore." I frown. she walks out and be and Velma lay on the bed and fall asleep.
The next day is school. I et dressed and look in my mirror and see my brown hair, andMy green eyes. I also saw the new outfit I got for my birthday last week. My birthday is April 18th. The shirt is blue and it had a tan over coat type thing. it looks good I think. I walk out and see Velma is wearing a blue dotted dress. our school is just down the street. Velma and I walk to school. I am in 5 th grade, and she is in 7th. Our school has from kindergarten to 8th grade. we walk up and go to class. I go to room 9.

In the middle of the clad I am called up to the office. As I walk through the door I see Velma crying in a chair.
