Chapter Two: That was close!
I was running but I tripped and fell. I think he saw me, I try to get up but I'm tied to chains, oh no they got me are they going to kill me? Is it just one person? Or a group? "Well well well, look what I found here", a mysterious voice said."Who are you?" I cry. Just as the mysterious voice was going to get me I look up and its my friend Quinton who was going to get me."Quinton?" I said, "what are you doing?" And then I woke up.
Wow these dreams are getting out of hand I thought, why was Quinton there? Oh well today's Saturday a new day. Now I know what your thinking was didn't I go to school yesterday? Well I do my school Online! OK OK you think I don't have any friends well I do I have Quinton, Maria, Jessie, and Lily. (And some more friends of coarse) I got out of bed washed my face put my hair down and went to the kitchen. I started having breakfast, eggs and OJ (orange juice) but my brother ran into the room.
"Grace Scott!" He cried. What did you do to my favorite shirt, he said while holding up a ripped up cloth.
"Oh well you see here I-"
"Tell me NOW!" Tom almost screamed.
"I put it in the wash like mom told me to, and it was fine but then I put it in the drier and it got all shredded up, I'm sorry!" I quickly said panicked.
"I forgive you" he mumbled then walked out of the room. Still looking very mad. I sighed a breath of relief even though he is younger then me he is having some 'changes' which makes him 'moody'.
I finish breakfast and went to my room. I decide to go for a walk so I got dressed. I have simple brown eyes and brown straight hair like my mom,and a round face like my dad. I'm going to miss one of them I thought wait I don't even know who I'm going to go with! I will have to talk to my parents later but right now I going for a walk, I thought with a smile, time to clear my head.
Before I go outside I grab my purse, maybe I will buy something I thought. I go outside and start walking. My family and I live close to the city, but we have medium house. I don't know where to walk but I'm walking fast. To the busy part of city.
I see a strange man staring at me but I ignore him, just a creepy hobo. But I was wrong the weird guy grabs me and pulls me in the alley. I try to scream but his hand is over my mouth, I bite his hand and he pulls it back in pain. I try to scream but he quickly puts his hand back before anyone can here me.
"Give me your money" he said with bad breath. He takes his hand off my mouth and looks around in my purse.
"I don't have any" I lie.
"Well whats this?" he says showing me my wallet. Uh oh! He has my wallet what now?
I elbow him in the stomach but I'm not that strong so it takes almost no effect. Wait a moment I think, I play soccer so my legs are stronger, I smile. Then stomp my foot hard on his foot he screams in pain and lets me go, I grab my wallet back and started running toward a store that looks safe. Sadly he took a $5 out of it before I could get it oh well its good he didn't get my whole wallet I think. The store is just a mans footwear place so I decide to leave and go home. The city is crazy here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I get home I see my family at the table talking.
"There you are Grace", my mom says, "where have you been?"
"Oh you know just getting robbed by a hobo" I said normal like it happened everyday.
"OK then?" My mom said but it sounded more like a question, "well some sit down we are having a family meeting about all the questions you have and we will try to answer them." I sat down at the table and it was a little weird talking about divorce but I sucked it up and talked to them.
"When you guys...... split up," I started " who would I go with?"
"Well Grace you will come with me" my mom said, "and Kat will come too so you brother will go with his dad".
"Oh" Kat said the same time as me. "Why are you splitting us kids up?" I asked my parents.
"Because we thought it would be better to share the load and Tom and me need some catching up to do" my dad said.
"OK but what school will I go to?" Tom asked. "Will I still be home schooled?"
"Yes you will but you will do a different curriculum", my mom said "its called A Beka Book", it is a online home schooling curriculum,so you will be the same practically.
"What about Grace and I?" Kat asked.
"Sadly we can't home school you with the A Beka Book, my mom answered, you Kat will be going to Robert T Hill Middle School in Dallas, Texas. And- my mom continued until she got cut off.
"What we're moving!" My little sister said. I just stood there like a stick I didn't know what to do.
"Yes, for a new start" my mom said calmly. "Let me continue, now Grace will be going to Woodrow Wilson High School." We were moving, we ARE moving! I coundn't get that out of my head! I had more questions but for a different time I ran to my room and locked myself in, whats going on? My life is changing!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9 hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whole day I have been in my room on the computer, reading my book and other stuff but I couldn't get my mind off that one thing my parents are getting divorced and I am moving. I just needed to go to sleep so that's what I did.
