Chess: The Next Move

Chapter 20: Jen v.s. Camille

Honestly, I've realized something. My sister, or betrayal, hasn't contacted me in three years.

I'm really happy about that because I don't want anything to do with that liar, but at the same time I wonder what she's doing right now.

I'm so stoked! Betty White took care of my dad (Mr. Nakpil) when he was younger and alone (like I was). Now, she's coming over to spend time with me and to check out how her beloved child grew up.

Cherry, Bea Bianca, and Marissa won't be at the house today since Marissa has a special mission, and the other two wanna get in on the action.

"Can you bake something?" I asked Audrey.

"Yeah. I make killer cookies!"

Awesome. Audrey will bake. Morgan will keep smiling.

"Oh, I'm so excited to meet not only dad's former guardian, but a golden girl!"  I exclaimed.

"Same," Audrey said as she was whisking. "I'm excited to know stories about Mr. Nakpil."

I went to the living room and looked at an old picture frame.

It was a photo of dad and Betty, when he was younger.

"Wow. Betty found dad. Dad found me. I wonder if I'm gonna find someone."

"You probably will," Morgan said.

"I sure hope so. It's like a legacy. When this kid I find gets older, maybe she'll find somebody."

"Sounds like a cute family story." Audrey said as she placed the tray of cookie dough in the oven.

"Yeah."

Betty finally came 30 minutes later. The cookies were baked just in time.

"Jen, is that you?" She said with a bright smile.

"Yes!" I ran over to her for a hug.

"So how have you been?" She asked.

"Awesome."

"Where's Gabriel?" (If you didn't remember, that's his name. Gabriel Nakpil).

"Um..."

I don't think she knows he's dead. Luckily, Audrey said it.

"Well, mr. Nakpil got brutally murdered by Jen's friend who now owns a famous chain of hot dog carts." So causal.

"Beatriz dogs?" She said surprised.

"Yeah..."

"Oh, that's a deep tragedy," :(

At least you all know the name of the hot dog chain. Go buy some ;) they're really good :)

Or hot dog on a stick.

"Gabriel really did well on making this home!" She complimented.

"Yeah, he did." I really do love this house.

"It looks like something the royal family would love to live in!"
