Home Alone (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

Welcome to the crazy, chaotic life of Alice McCallister. I'm the forgotten middle child of Frank and Leslie. It was almost like nobody cared about me ; maybe I truly am forgotten. 

Anyways the McCallisters had all met up at Aunt Kate's house. They were going to France to see Uncle Rob and his wife Georgette. 

I rushed around in a pace finding contents to put in my suitcase ; stopping abruptly when I bumped into my crazy little cousin Kevin McCallister. 

"Excuse me!" He said pushing past me and running by. He didn't even acknowledge my presence.

I was sharing a room with Megan McCallister who was pretty nice. "You sleep over there" Megan pointed to a springy pull-out bed. 

"Looks very uncomfortable!" I muttered. "Get used to it there's sixteen kids don't be a brat Alice" Megan reprimanded. 

As I finished packing, Megan was heading downstairs. "Where are you going?" I asked quietly. 

"Watching a movie with Uncle Frank wanna come?" She asked. I cringed. If Uncle Frank chose the movie it's probably something kids shouldn't watch. 

"No thanks Megan" I said calmly and flopped back on my "bed". 

"All right suit yourself!" Megan added before exiting the room. I opened up my suitcase and took a baby blue nail polish from it.

I began painting each nail slowly one at a time before the door flung open. "Jesus Christ!" My hand twitched and the nail polish fell to the ground.

"Who's there?" I asked bravely. No one answered. Suddenly a thumping sound came from outside.

I climbed over to the door and peeked out. Only to see Kevin jumping up and down, like a psycho.  

"When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone!" He shouted down the stairs. 

"I'm living alone! I'm living alone!" He screamed. I rolled my eyes and closed the door shut.

The screaming soon came to a end. I rested on Megan's bed and stared up at the ceiling. "PIZZA'S HERE!" Someone screamed. 

I got up quickly abandoning the bed. I was the last to arrive in the kitchen (minus Kevin).

I checked every box. Olives, peppers, sausage and the only cheese was.........already finished. I sighed everyone knows cheese is my favorite. 

I gently tapped Aunt Kate's sweater. "Yes dear?" She looked down at me. "The cheese pizza is all gone" I whined. 

Buzz looked at me with a smirk as he shoved the last slice into his mouth. I frowned at him. 

"Buzz ate all the cheese pizza, SON OF A BITCH!" I complain. Nobody hears me. Nobody ever hears me. "There's nothing you can do about it!" He laughs with crumbs falling out his mouth. 

I turn away in disgust and take a slice of bell pepper pizza instead. It's not as good but it will have to do. 

I grab a seat next to my sister Tracy McCallister and slowly chew my pizza. Kevin comes downstairs checking all the pizza just as I did. 

I go up to him and whisper in his ear. Buzz ate all the cheese pizza. He looks up at Buzz and frowns. 

I return to my seat. 

"Go easy on the Pepsi Fuller!" Mom calls out. I turn to Fuller who smirks at Kevin.

He's only drinking that much Pepsi so he wets the bed; which annoys Kevin.

Buzz pretends to throw up in front of Kevin.

Kevin who is fed up with all of us, tackles Buzz and cups of milk spill all over the passports. I shoot up out of my seat and back away from the mess.

Uncle Peter lunges for the passports and abandons the OPENED Pepsi bottle. Dad gets up out of his chair and squashes poor fuller against the staircase.

"WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?" Aunt Kate asked. "He started it, he knows I hate sausage and onions and-" Kevin pauses. 

He scans the room and looks at all of our disappointed faces. However he looks at me trying to hold in a laugh and smiles slightly. 

Aunt Kate grasps his arm and drags him away upstairs. I burst into laughter and fall on the ground. 

"Our dinner just got ruined and you think it's funny?" Tracy kicked me. I quickly got up. 

That night I fell asleep thinking about what happened at dinner; and laughed again.
