Wish Upon a Shooting Star Book 1

The Start of My Day

So, my day started out normal. Except when I came home from school. When I came home from school, my sister grabbed me from behind right when I was about to enter the kitchen. We hid behind a wide tall gigantic plants with HUGE thick leaves that made an inner rectangle for us hide in. Nobody ever found us here. "Ouch!" I yelped. "Shhhhh!" My sister said, putting a hand over my mouth.

I removed her hand from my mouth and whispered, "What is it?"

"I'm spying on mom and dad. They sounded like they were talking about something important, so I am listening to their conversation. And yes, I've been here for a while." She answered before I could even open my mouth. By the way, this is my younger sister, Celia ( a made up name ).

I almost screamed, but Celia put her hand over my mouth. "Mphhhhh!!!" I tried to scream. You are probably wondering what I saw. I saw my 2 other siblings, my older brother Hunter and my other older sister Malaneie ( ma-lane-ee). ( two other made up names.)

"We've been through the whole thing too," said Malaneie, putting an arm around Hunter.

"Shhhhh!!!" Celia shushed us. We listened and listened to the whole conversation. Finally the conversation stopped. Mom and mom's boyfriend came out of the kitchen. We don't really know why mom is dating another guy even though she already has a husband. I know, right! When they disappeared through the front door, that was our que.

"1...2...3... GO!!!" Celia whisper-yelled. We all went to our assigned spots. Hunter pretended to be doing his homework, Malaneie pretended to be doing research on her laptop, Celia pretended to be playing on her tablet, and I pretended to be doing homework too. Mom came into the room.

"Oh! I didn't didn't see you there!" she said surprised.

"Hey mom!" We all said, acting casual.

"You don't have any homework, Celia?" Mom asked.

"No mom! Remember all the tests?" Celia said in a "oh-my-gosh-seriously" voice.

"Oh, right." Said mom, confused. "What are you researching, Malaneie?"

"Oh, I'm doing a biography report on the movie Hamilton."

"Really?! I LOVE that movie!!!"

Right when she said that, all of our jaws dropped. OMG!!! Malaneie almost dropped her laptop. Whew! That was a close one! Of course, mom looked at us weirdly like a "what-are-you-looking-at" kind of face.

"Wow!! Now that was WEIRD!!!!" I said to myself, shaking off what she just said.

"I'll fix you guys a snack if you'd like." mom said.

"Sure." We answered in unison. Mom disappeared into the kitchen to make us snacks. We immediately went into secret conversation mode.

"Okay, so we have to keep mom's boyfriend thing a secret because she thinks we don't know." Said Hunter. "Yeah," we all agreed. Mom suddenly came back with a big tray full of foods. We suddenly went back to our positions, but we moved a bit.

"Snacks are served!" said mom.

"Yum!" I said, trying not to make a sour face. I just tried one of mom's mini lemon cake cupcakes and ewww! They were sooooooo sour! Blah! My mom is the worst cook EVER!!!!!! No offense mom! ( not in real life though. )
