Imogen

Ch.1

Well let's just get to the facts. My name is Imogen Tucker- Pritchett. I am 16 years old. People call me Mo. I was adopted by my dads, Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker, seven years ago. When I was 14 they adopted another girl. Her name is Lily.

"Come on we gotta meet Claire and them at Jay's!" My dad Cameron shouts. I put on my Jurassic park t-shirt and went into the living room. I see Lily coloring and Cam in the kitchen. "Where's Dad?" I asked him. "Well your dad can't pick a shirt." He says taking a sip of his drink. I nod already understanding. "Okay so why are we going to the Zoo again?" I asked. "It's for Joe's birthday." Cam says as my other dad walks in. "Geez, you're worse then me." Cam says to Mitchell. I giggle as Mitchell rolls his eyes.

We get to Jay's aka my grandpas. "Hello! Hello!" Gloria greets with hugs and kisses. Joe runs up to me and hugs me. "Happy birthday kid!" I say and pick him up. I kiss his cheek and he giggles.

"Lets just say I was surprised that Joe did that. He was probably trying to look nice infront of my dads. Me and Joe have a love and hate relationship. Even though he's like two." I say to the camera. I pierce my lips and sigh. "Don't judge."

"Is everybody ready?!" Claire asked everyone as they all came from no where. We all say yeah and pack into the cars. I was in a car with Luke, Phil, Claire, Alex and Haley. "Oh my god..Mo, it's our song." Phil says turning up the song. Oh god. It was Electric Feel by MCMT. I smile at him as he looks at me through the mirror.

"All along the western front, people line up to receive.
She got the power in her hands to shock you like you won't believe."

Phil and I sang the whole song as Luke laughed at us. "Okay who would you kiss, marry, kill. Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pratt and Shelley Hennig." Luke said to me. "This is hard. Hmm.." I say but Claire interrupted my thinking. "Were here!" She states. We head into the zoo and immediately see a tiger. "Daddy look!" Lily says dragging Cameron away from us. I see Joe staring at me like he is judging me or something. I stare at him back. "What are you doing?" Manny asks coming up behind me. "I swear your brother is after me. Look at th-" I stopped when Joe throws his cup in at my face. "Ow!" I say covering my face. "Joe!" Gloria snaps then gasps as she sees me. "Oh Mija..I'm sorry." She continues and walks off scolding Joe. "Is there a mark?" I ask Manny. "No." He answers. I don't believe him. I pull out my camera to check. "What? You don't believe me?" He asked in disbelief.

"Last time I asked Manny something he lied to me." I said to the camera. "I thought you looked fine with your makeup like that!" Manny defends himself. I roll my eyes. "I looked like a raccoon Manny!" I stated.

Thankfully I didn't have a mark. "See. I wasn't lying." Manny said and I just walked away. I see Luke looked a little mad. "What's wrong?" I asked as we by the polar bears. "I just found out my mom had been lying about my grades this whole time. She got the report card and said I got B's and C's. I actually got D's and F's." Luke explains. "That's not cool!" I said. "I know right. Hey look the lion's are-" Luke was saying but stopped when Alex slapped him in the back of his head. I giggle. When we were walking to the monkeys Joe stepped infront of me. It was to late when I saw him I quickly swerved the other way. Instead of just walking off I tripped on my foot and fell. "I swear. You are lucky I can't hit you." I hiss at Joe. "Joe!" Gloria shouts coming over to him and scolding him once again. Phil helps me up. "Thanks." I say and he smiles. "I love your hair today Mo." He complements. "Thanks?" I say awkwardly. "See I tell the truth not lie." Phil says looking at Claire.

I was looking over at the monkeys when Joe comes over to me. I glared at him. "You should be in there." I say to him pointing in the monkey habitat. "I hate when Phil lies to me." Claire vents to me. "I hate it when Manny lies to me." I said. "Oh come on I didn't lie!" Manny says mad. "Me neither." Phil says also. "You shouldn't be talking mom." Luke said. "Okay Luke I was just trying to protect your feelings. I didn't want you to be disappointed in yourself." Claire explains. "And I thought you actually looked good. I'm sorry that I didn't say anything." Manny says. "Aw Manny. Its okay." I said and hugged him. "By the way Claire I didn't lie to you about not taking 500 dollars out of our savings." Phil said. "Oh that was me. I needed to get my phone fixed." Haley admits. "Haley!" Claire snaps. "Ha!" Phil says pointing at Claire. She rolls her eyes. "Okay, maybe I didn't believe you. I'm sorry." Claire apologizes. "Look it what we got Mo!" Gloria squeals and Joe comes up to me and hands me a monkey stuffed animal. "Aw Joe." I say and kiss his cheek. "I sorry." He said and everyone laughs. "It's okay." I said to him.

"If you lie to someone to protect there feelings or even if you didn't. Turns out that if you tell the truth they won't be mad at you. Well, they could. But you might get a monkey stuffed animal named Joe!" I exclaim to the camera holding up my monkey.
