Secret Soldier

Chapter 4

After what seemed like hours we pull up to the most fairytale like house I have ever seen. It has 3 stories including the attic or atleast I think that's the attic... anyways, the house itself is blue sort of like a baby blue with white trimming. It even has the whole white picket fence thing going for it!

I bolt twoards the door shouting " I get first dibs on my room!" Tobey just groans, but he knows not to argue with me because then I use my logic. And my logic makes no sense. So he gets confused and flustered and eventually caves. I faceplant into the door and moans out in pain. "Need this Isis?"

Tobey holds out a key, I snatch it from his hand and open the door. I don't glance around, instead I run upstairs. I throw open doors as I go. Office, bathroom, library,small bed- wait! Library!!!!! I'll check that out later. I see a door at the end of a long hallway, I jog over and open the door to find a metal spiral stair case. Slowly I assend the stair case...when I reach the first break in the stairs I see a big room.

The floors are a deep cherry hard wood and the walls area deep blue. I wanderinto the room to find a door leading to a old fashioned bathroom,a claw tub and sink are in the back of the room near a bay window. A grin slides onto my face as I leave the bathroom I walk back to the stair case to find it keeps going. I walk to the top and stand in front of a sliding door.

I take a deep breath and slide it open. I stumble out onto the roof... its a widows watch type of thing. I realize this is my dream house that I always told mom about. Mom. How are dad and mom doing? I start to sniffle as I think about them. After half an hour later I wipe my eyes mom and dad left so I could be happy. And that's exactly what I'm gonna be

Inclimb down the stairs and find Tobey in the kitchen. "You better not be cooking mr. Last time you did I got food poisoning." Tobey gives me a ' you gotta be kidding me face' "Yo miss sassy face if you don't like my cooking then you make us some din-din." He says in his sassy lady voice.

I chuckle

"Fine Mr. Lazy I'll cook, because unlike you I want to live for at least a little while longer. Oh! Can I go shopping? I need new clothes for school, and it would allow me to explore town." He nodds and hands me $100. I think he feels bad about my parents leaving.

I walk out to the road, the town was only a 5 minute walk away. I glance at a map I found on the counter.

~five minutes later....~

I stroll into a row of shops glancing around I see a cute shop called FOREVER HOT, as I walk in I hear a bell ring. All of a sudden a lady who looked about fifty walks over and says "Why hello deary you must be Isis! The whole towns been waiting for you! My daughters in your grade hang on I'll get her!" I just nodd, a little caught off guard with her straight forwardness. I hear her yelling in the distance before seeing a girl who resembles her walk in.

She smiles and nodds at me " Hey there I'm Ivory. But my brotatoe chips call me Ivy." I smile and introduce myself. We start to talk about stuff and pretty soon she grabs my hand and pulls me twoard the clothes. "Grab everything you like and put it on the counter. I'll give you a discount if you let me help decorate your room, because my dream job is to be a decorator, and I have an excuse to have a sleepover with you...if that's cool?" She looked like she was second guessing herself.

"That sounds great! Id love to have a new best friend. And I think you could be that besty if you want. One word of warning though... my Uncles a little intimidating..."

She snorts "I see my mom before she has her make up on nothing is more intimidating than that. I can deal with grumpy, rude, mean, even overly happy people - even though they scare the crap outa me- as long as the person is worth being my friend.

And you have potential. I smile, we load 5 bags with clothes and the total equals $100 with the 50% off discount. I tell Ivy to pack her over night and give her my address. She smiles and says "I'll bring my decore magazines!" This will be a fun night.
