I was sitting outside on my wooden porch looking at the sunset. When a phone ring suddenly interrupted my peace. I look at the screen, it was Jenna.. It said," Wanna go to the "Hop" tonight for dinner? Kaliana, Emily, Amy, and Rowan are going too." I sighed, I had to go. It sounded fun, but not as peaceful as this.
The hop was our nickname for an old 50's restaurant that was in the plaza/mall area. It was the 'hangout place' for our school.
I got up and walked inside. When I got in I was greeted by my mom saying," It's your turn to pick dinner tonight." I had forgotten, me and my family get to pick dinner one day a week. Yes, we have a family of seven. My brothers are Carlos who's five, and Clay whose 8. My sisters are Mina whose 10, and Cassie who's 10 too, Cassie and Mina are twins. They are sort of the same except Mina likes gymnastics and Cassie likes dance. They are on the dance and gymnastics traveling teams. I say," I'll do it tomorrow I'm going to ride my bike to the "Hop" with Christina, Amy, Rowan, and Kaliana.
She smiles," I used to go out to lunch with my friends too. One time...."
But I cut her off," No story time mom, gtg!!!" My mom makes a face. I groan," Gtg means got to go."
She makes a funny face," Can't you just say that, it will make my mind go less crazy trying to find out what that means." I grin and walk outside. I ride my bike to Jenna's to pick her up. We meet the rest of the group at the "Hop". We laugh, greet each other, and gossip. We sit down and order. I live right by a plaza. A building that's connected but has different buildings. There's Dollar Tree, The Hop, Subway, Pro Cuts.. a hair place, and Sally's Beauty Supplies. We LOVE the hop. It always has the best food, and it's the biggest store in the plaza.
"May I please have one Shamrock Shake, a Double Cheeseburger, and some curly fries?" Rowan asks.
"Of course young lady," she says while scribbling on a notepad,"what can I get for you ladies, our special today is the fish fry."
I pat my chin," I'll have one Root Beer Float, a Rueben, and some regular fries with ketchup, please?" She scribbles it down.
"And I'll have some Chocolate Milk, some Chicken tenders, and, hmm let's see, oh! I'll have some of your fruit salad please," says Jenna. She scribbles and scribbles all our orders till we're done. We talk about school and I talk about the school newspaper and if any of the girls have some news.
Amy says,"Umm, that school carnival is coming up this week on friday." I remember that in my head. Amy looks at me,"Saige you act like you have a notebook in your head! You remember EVERY detail of EVERYTHING when some one tells you something! It's like you have an imaginary pencil in your brain scribbling notes on a little imaginary notepad!" All the girls agree. Then the waitress comes with our food.
"Here you go girls, have a nice meal!" She walks away as we start to eat.
Kalianas eyes go huge,"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!! There's a new girl coming!"
I shrug," I dunno, would you like it if you were new and everyone was crowding you and you were being recognized so fast?"
She frowns,"I really, really wouldn't like THAT!!!" I smile and we eat again. The next thing I know, we're biking home, our group getting smaller every two or three streets. Finally it's just me and Jenna, we are neighbors. We even have a basket from our rooms upstairs that deliver things like letters and packages. To make it short it's a sideways pulley! We ride our bikes to our houses and notice a bunch of moving trucks by the house next to mine.
I say," Judging by the things they're loading out there's a mom, dad, brother, and a sister! Ooh," I say while a portable wardrobe hanger comes out, like the ones on movie sets," I like her wardrobe!" Jenna smiles. But then her mouth goes wide open.
"I just LOVE her bedspread and pillows!"
I scoff," Pillows? Your worried about PILLOWS?" She sticks her tongue out at me and rides off. I shrug my shoulders and ride to my house. I park my bike in my garage and walk inside.
I get greeted by my mom and two remote control helicopters flying two inches away from my face. Cassie, the sister who likes to dance, is a tomboy. Clay and her love remote controlled helicopters, cars, even Tanks! They are always driving them around and shooting me. For some DUMB reason. I groan and walk to my room. I check Instagram, Snapchat,and go on my Laptop. I notice it's eleven pm. I say goodnight and I lay down. The next thing I know it's morning.
