Chapter Two

Staring at the open math book in front of me I hopelessly tried to make sense of it. While I was ahead in some subjects this was definitely not one of them. 

"Dakota" Thank God I thought as I heard my moms voice calling me. 

Glancing at the page in front of me one more time I closed the book and ran down the stairs into the kitchen. Mom was labouring over the stove as usual and the smells coming from the food were heavenly. She was a cook in a five star restaurant back in New York and her specialty was desserts. Her new job her was in a small local bakery. Her passion was cooking and I wasn't complaining as long as I got to taste the fished product.

"Sweetie would you mind setting the table and calling your brother for dinner? Your dad should be home any minute now." She told me as she glanced at the clock. 

Grabbing the four knifes and forks that were already out I carried them to the table and set out a place for everyone. Going to the fridge I grabbed the jug of water and placed it in the centre of the table next. When I was done with the table I went out into the hallway to call my brother.

"Ethan! Dinner's ready." I shouted up the stairs. I waited for the mumbling that followed soon after and the sound of movement that let me know he had heard me. I always wondered how he could over the sound of the video games he was constantly playing. I would never understand video games.

Turning I made my way into the kitchen we're mom had put our dinners out on the table for us all. I heard the front door open as dad came in the door and through to the kitchen, followed close by Ethan.

As we all sat down my dad leaned over and pecked mom on the lips.

"Ewwwww! Keep it pg, seriously guys!" the indignant tone in my brothers voice had me laughing at him.

"You're just jealous you can't get a girlfriend." I teased and he stuck his tongue out at me in response. "Gross" I whined as the food he had been eating was displayed to us all on his tongue.

"Ethan put your tongue in your mouth, and both of you play nice." Mom reprimanded us. Huh, she must be in a good mood. Normally such bickering at the table would get us in more trouble. Don't get me wrong. My parents were strict but we did have fun.

"How was everyone's day?" my dad inquired

"Mine was pretty good. I was talking to this girl in my music class and she introduced me to her friends at lunch. They seemed nice but I don't know if I like them that much." I decided not to tell them about Lucas. They'd probably just over react. This one time in kinder garden when a kid took my lollipop they tried to have him suspended. He was four. I mean I probably stole tons of sweets off kids in kinder garden. It's what we did.

"It was nice of her to be nice to you, you don't have to be friends with her but do try to be nice to her." my mom commented.

"I know mom" she always warned us like that, it's like she didn't trust us or something.

"What about you Ethan, how was your day?" Dad could always sense when I was about to get ratty about something someone said. I knew he just didn't want me to get into a fight with mom but I still wish she would trust me more.

"Yeah, em, school was good. People were fine, the teachers are pretty strict and stuff but nothing I can't handle." Dad tried to cover up his snickering by coughing as mom glared at Ethan. 

"You better behave in this school. I can't help you here if you get expelled again Ethan." Mom delivered the stern warning that I knew would have absolutely no effect on my stupid younger brother. He was and always would be a trouble maker.

"Moving on, I want you all to  keep this Friday free. I have invited my boss over for dinner with his wife and son. Dakota I think he said his son went to your school. His names Lucas I think. Be nice to him. I think he was on that singing show you used to follow before the earthquake hit. He was never broadcast or anything like that. I'm not really sure." Dad hadn't seemed to notice me stiffen at the mention of Lucas' name.

"Yeah, sue. I'll be nice if I see him." I counldn't believe my look. My first day and I already messed up any chance at a friendship with this kid. Just my look he would turn out to be the bosses son. Maybe I'd try to make it up to him. 

"Wait, do you mean he auditioned for the x-factor?" I asked. That must have taken alot of guts. I would never be able to do something like the, posting videos on You Tube was enough for me.

"Yeah, that's what he told me." my dad said before turning to my mom, asking her about her day.

Maybe I could talk to him about singing. See if he's any good. I'd always had a passion for music. ever since I was young I would put on shows when my parents had people over.

After dinner was leaned up I went up to my room and turned on my  laptop and checked the comments on my videos. I had a number of covers from various songs on YouTube. As I checked out the video i posted just over a week ago I was shocked to see I had  over two thousands views. That was freaking amazing. My last videos never got this much attention. As the shock started to wear away the panic set in as to why people were watching me all of a sudden. What if I had overlooked something before posting it. What if they were laughing at me.

I quickly scrolled through the comments. As I read the first few I was shocked. All the comments were great, except for the odd one, but most people were just complimenting my voice. Some people even saying they thought I was pretty. This was amazing. 

The only thing missing was my best friend Alexis. She was normally the first one I would run to with something like this. She had always lived just down the street. I would miss her so much. With a damper on my mood I opened a new tab and logged on to Facebook.

"Sweetie, It's twelve, I think you should get some sleep." my called from my door. Staring once more at my computer screen I decided that she was most likely right, but before turning off my laptop I sent a quick message. 

Miss you loads babe :'( talk to you soon!xxx
