Chapter 24:

"Are you excited?" Daddy asks when I get down stairs for breakfast.

"I am. I'll finally be finished with high school."

"My baby's all grown up." momma says teary eyed putting my plate in front of me. I look down at the food guard up because momma can't cook.

"Momma i'm just graduating its not like I'm moving out."

She sniffles and says "That's coming soon."

"Ellen." daddy scolds and I give them a strange look.

"What's going on?"

Daddy waves his hand in dismissal and says "Nothing eat your pancakes we have to leave in ten minutes."

I dig into my pancakes and sigh dreamily. "Momma when did you learn to make these?" I ask her very impressed.

"Their good?" she asks hopefully.

"Good momma these are bomb."

Her face falls and she says "Oh well I can try again."

Daddy and I chuckle. "Bomb means that they are amazing off the hook the best thing I have ever tasted." She brightens up again and her cheeks flood with blood.

"Well thank you dear." I shake my head at her amused. She's not accustomed to the slang.

"Wheres Mitch we have to go?" daddy asks coming to a stand. I hurriedly finish off my pancakes and stand yelling for him. They give me a really look and I shrug you'd think they would be use to it by now.

Mitch comes down the stairs all spiffed up in a little tux and I coo at him. He pops his collar making me chuckle at him. "I'm thexy."

"That you are little man." I say ruffling up his hair making him scowl at me. He follows me out of the house and climbs in dads car beside me. "You plannin on getting a girlfriend?" I ask when he pulls his DS out of his pocket.

He looks up at me and grins. "I has one."

With a look of disbelief I shout "What?" with fake outrage and that only makes the munchkins grin grow wider. "What's her name?" I ask with narrowed eyes playing the over protective big sister roll.

"Annabel theth in my clath."

"How old is she?"

"I don't know Vangine." he says shrugging his little shoulders and I purse my lips at him.

"You have to find out how old she is Mitch you cant just date her and know nothing about her."

"Date who?" Momma asks sliding into the front seat.

He shakes his head no and I smirk at him crossing my arms defiantly. "Mitch has a girlfriend." Mitch grunts and smacks his little hand to my leg.

"Mitchell Ervin Carter." Momma says gasping dramatically. "Your not aloud to date until your sixteen."

"I'm five." Mitch says loudly and momma looks back at him nodding slowly. "Witch means you have eleven years to go."

"Ellen." Daddy sighs pulling up to the school. "The boy needs a girlfriend."

"When he's sixteen we'll talk about it." she mumbles getting out of the car. We all follow and I smile largly when I see Dean and all of the boys at the entrance of the stadium. Our school has our graduations in the stadium because their are so many of us.
