We did a quick grocery run getting the things we would need for a week. We only buy things for a week period because then if we have to leave then we won’t be wasting as much food and money.

Austin and I put the groceries away and sat at the kitchen table. It wasn’t one of those expensive tables. It was one that was able to fold and you would take camping.

“Want to play UNO?” Austin asked.

“Sure!” He ran to his room to get the cards. He made a mad dash back to the table and didn’t bring the cards. “Where are the cards?”

“There was a spider on the wall so I didn’t grab them.” He told me.

“You are such a girl!” I yelled dramatically.

“Does that make you such a guy because you are going to kill it?” I smirked.

“Who said I was going to kill it?” I smirked back.

“You are going to kill it, right?”

“I was thinking about putting it in your bed.” I teased walking into his room to get the cards. I see the spider he was talking about and started laughing. “Is that the spider?”

He came in and nodded. You would think that it would be one of those big ones or a jumping spider. This one is slightly bigger than a jumping spider and way smaller than a hobo.

“Oh no! It’s going to kill us! We are going to die! I think this is one of those really poisonous ones that it they come in contact with you in any way that you will die! Get me something so I can kill it! Hurry before it gets us!” He ran out and came back with a notebook. “Okay. Back up a little bit just in case I miss it. That will give you just enough time to get out of here!” This is too good, I thought to myself.

I swung at the spider and moved the notebook in a squishing way. I pulled it back and the spider was still there. Austin could obviously see it because his face was a mix between shock and the look when you are about to crap yourself.

"Run! It’s going to get us!” I yelled as he ran out of the room. I fell to the ground or I would have followed him. “Ow! It bit me! Austin, you have to get out before it gets you!” I heard the door slam open as he ran out.

I walked out of the room and to the door. Austin was across the yard in a position that little kids do when they are crying, the one with your knees in your face, yeah that one! He is totally going to hate me because of that.

I walked over to him and heard his quiet sobbing. I chuckled silently so he wouldn’t hear me. Slowly I bent down and wrapped him in a hug. He looked up at me like he had seen a ghost. His eyes were red and puffy.

“How are… you still alive? I thought the spider killed you.” He asked wiping the tears away from his eyes.

“The spider hasn’t move. Follow me and I will show you.” I told him standing up and grabbing his hands to help him up. I started walking to the house with him in tow.

We walked into the bedroom and he coward behind me. I walked over to the spider and waved him over. He slowly crept over and stood behind me.

“Okay, look at the spider. It looks really scary, right? You want to know something about this spider?” He nodded his head. “It’s fake!”

“WHAT?!?!?!” he yelled, walking over to the spider and looking at it closely. “It’s fake! But it looks so real!!”

I stood behind him and grabbed the spider. The spider peeled right off the wall.

“It’s just a sticker. You will live with a sticker, right?” I asked him teasingly.

“I suppose!” He sighed. He reached into his bag and pulled out the UNO cards. “Now it’s UNO time!” he yelled excitedly.

We played so many rounds I would have not been able to count. Austin looked at the tally sheet to see who was winning. I looked down at it and seen that I was winning by five games.

“Six more and I win!” he yelled. He shuffled the cards and dealt us each ten cards. My hand had three blues, four reds, two greens, and a yellow. The card in the discard pile was a yellow so u discarded the yellow in my hand.

The game kept going till we both ended up with more cards than we started with. I had 15 and it looked like he had 17 or 18. It was getting pretty late, around midnight.

"Hey. We need to get to bed. We start school tomorrow." I told him. He nodded and set his cards down.

“Good night Kristina… I mean Angella.” He said then walked to his room and went to bed.

I picked up the cards and put them in the box. I walked over to the sink and washed the few dishes we had then dried them. After I finished drying them and putting them away I decided to take a quick shower before going to bed. I washed my hair and body then shaved. I hopped out of the shower and dried myself off before putting on all of my clothing.

My eyes shut the minute my head hit the pillow. My mind scattering from the thoughts in my head. Starting a new school to what classes I will be taking. Most of all, how long will we be at this school?
