Lorali, The Beginning

Chapter 1

Lorali Chapter One-

“Lorali pass me that tube over there” My father, Mark Seinfield, barked at me. I sighed and handed it over.

I think He seriously has gone off the deep end. He keeps telling me his is going to create life in a test tube. I rested my chin in my hand and looked about the room. It looked just like a science lab in any movie. Test tubes everywhere filled with green, blue, and purple liquid, all the walls and floors were shiny silver, and silver tables covered the room.

Then I looked back at my father. He did not look like you average scientist. He had high cheekbones, a thin overall look, he had dark brown wavy hair that fell right above his eyes, and he had deep brown eyes. My father was dressed in a light blue button down shirt, brown pants, and of course a white lab coat.

“Well, not that this isn’t fun or anything, but I’ve gotta get back to my friends” I said as I walked up the basement steps.

“Could you bring them down here, I have something I’d like them to see.” I stopped dead in my tracks. I never told any of my friends my dad was a wacko scientist.

“But dad-“I whined.

“Lorali Savannah Seinfield, I said bring you friends here now!” He yelled and turned to me. I froze, I couldn’t move. So many questions ran through my head. Was he going to hurt them or just banish me into eternal embarrassment? “NOW!”

I opened my mouth to say something, but thought better of it. I spun back around so fast a big clump of my curly brown hair landed in my mouth. I quickly spit it out and finished running up the steps.

When I got to my room I looked at all my friends. There was Ella; she had dark auburn hair that fell to her waist, a pale complexion, and emerald eyes. Then there was Nevaeh, she had super straight black hair the stopped at her chin, a light tan, and blue almost purple eyes. And last there was Philippa, but she goes by her middle name, Mia. She had super blond hair that had little ringlets, dark brown eyes, and a fair skin tone.

“What’s the matter, Lora?” Mia asked with concern. She ran over to me her ringlets bouncing with every step. She was the shortest of all of us so she came up to only my chin.

“Nothing.” I said flatly “I want to show you guys something.”

I felt with each step I was going to my doom.

By the time we made it down the stairs, all my friends were hyper ventilating.

“OMG! Lora, you never told your dad was like a real scientist!” Ella screamed basically in my ear. She was bouncing up and down. “That is like so freakin cool!”

“This is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!” Nevaeh said quoting Mary Poppins.  

Everyone else laughed while I made a failed effort to giggle. I took some shaky steps towards my dad. “Dad, this is Mia, Ella, and Nevaeh. Friends, this is dad”

“Hi, Mr. Seinfield-“

“Please, call me Mark” my dad cut Mia off.

“Okay, Mark, what is it that you specialize in?” Ella asked.

“Everything, but I prefer Physiology.” He said. “Would you mind if I took a little blood from all of you?”

“Don’t you need our parents’ permission?” Nevaeh asked, always the logical one.

“I already did” he replied.

He has already taken so much from me I’m surprised I’m still alive.

“Okay…” Nevaeh said as she said in the chair my father gestured towards.

He filled up two tubes of dark red liquid. After she was done, she looked a little pale, but nothing else. I turned around and noticed Mia sitting on a stool behind us.

She looked at me “I really don’t do well around blood.” I smiled apologetically.

When we were all done we headed upstairs. Mia had a detour to the bathroom and threw up. I felt horrible for her. As she came out of the bathroom I put an arm around her shoulder. We all collapsed either on the floor or my king sized bed.
