It's along way home

Chapter 4~Our home town(Gattson city)

     Gattson city is kind of a big city. It's not as big as Chicago is but it's still big. It has a huge park in the center of the city. We all live in to out skirts of the city, but the school is in the city. We all like the school because you have a lot of class choices in the high school. The middle school is right behind the high school and the elementary is on the other side of the city. It doesn't make sense really to have the elementary school so far away from the other 2 schools. In the small town on Timber there were only two schools but they were big. Gattson's buildings looked like giant mirrors, the windows look like mirrors the way to sun shines on them. Once you start from the park, you'll see all the giant mirror looking like building all around you. After that, you'll see a couple of fancy restaurants and people, walking around in the park with their fancy dogs. If you walk or drive into the part of town we all live in, you'll see restaurants, houses, garages, fire stations, even the police station. Everyone thinks that we're bad.

The little town part of Gattson isn't so bad. The people are nicer than the people in the city are. The people act like New Yorkers in New York City. Yelling, screaming, traffic jams, and a lot more you don't need to heard at all. We all have big and small house or medium size houses on the blocks. The city people treat us like we're not from this planet but it's whatever's. Mostly all the people who live in the city are rich or famous or something like that. It's not right for the people in the city to treat us towns people like were garbage. I mean to them we don't have penthouses or luxury mansions and we don't have fancy things like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. We don't listen to like rap music or the other kind of music that the city people listen to, we just jam out to whatever is on the radio basically in cars. We also kind a have electricity and Wi-Fi and all that other crap at our houses. We also do like to go have fun with each other like go to the baseball field and hit a couple of balls or something like that. Every Saturday or Sunday night we have a drive-in theater at someone's house where we show a movie that mostly everyone likes. We have a restaurant called Rockin Robin's they serve back ribs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hotdogs their food is actually pretty good compared to the fancy cafés in the city. The cafés in the city or the worse I mean the only serve fancy people. Whenever we try to go into a café they say fancy people only. We just stopped going to the cafes after then, we drank our coffee at home.

The city people never come to the out skirts as much. They have everything in the city now. Markets, stores, cafes, and a lot more. All the out skirts have are small town markets, small stores, restaurants and diners, and houses. The tourist that come to the out skirt always say "You guys are way nicer than the people in the city. Why is that?" We always end up saying "Because we get along and work together." It's kinda funny how we all say the same thing over again. The tourist always come back and eat at our restaurant and diners. We only go into the city to go to the park, or school. All the kids in the out skirts always find something to do. Gattson city isn't like Timber where you have town houses, stores, and a lot more crap by one another. Gattson is pretty much separate from each other, the city part and out skirt part. All the kids get along and we have have our fights with each other. The yards in Gattson city are pretty big and medium sized. The neighborhoods are small but the people are nice.

The people of Gattson are somewhat nice. The high school looks like a huge mansion, but on the inside looks like a board school or college. Huge classrooms, huge cafeteria, nice teachers who are willing to stay after school. Timber never had teachers like that. The teachers were snobby and stuck up. When we all lived in Timber, we all hated the teachers. Gattson city is more so of a nicer place to go to school at. They say it's better in the out skirts then the city is itself. We all get together on a Saturday night and have a huge camp fire right in the middle of the park. We all sing camp fire songs, tell scary stories to one another, and just have fun. We all basically camp out in the park that night. We sing country songs, pop songs, and a lot more. If everyone and think of the song or knows it we sing it. We make up our own songs once in a while also. It's fun doing that because it brings everyone closer together. The little kids like it because they get to play in mud all night. We all play hide and seek or flash light tag in the park. Our park is kinda bigger than the one in the city, but they're a lot of places to hide from everyone. Most of the kids lay down in the mud and hide but the older kids climb the tree and hide. The little kids get lost easily so they pair up with older kids, so they can hide better. The older kids also help the middle age kids climb tree and find good hiding places.

My aunt and uncle looked at both Gwen and I "Do you girls want to go to bed now or have a camp out in the living room?" My aunt said. "Camp out." Both of us said at the same time. "Camp out it is,Frank can you go get pillows from my room?" My aunt said looking at My uncle. My uncle nods and goes up stairs. My aunt sets up a pillow fort with Gwen's and my help. My uncle comes back down and throws pillows at all of us and we all end up having a huge pillow fight. 2 hours later r so we all crash on the living room floor while the thunder storm is still going on. The house shakes every time thunder goes off. Lightning lights up the sky like fireworks on the 4th of July, every time it strikes. I woke up, looking out the window, to the sky blue and the sun shining.No clouds were in the sky, just a full blue sky with the sun. It must have stormed all night long.My aunt,My uncle and Gwen were still asleep, so I got up and made breakfast for them. By the time I was done cooking they're all up and sitting at the table. Gwen got the table set and My aunt got everyone drinks. I put the food and their plates and they started eating like they haven't ate in years. "Thanks for the food Scarlet." My aunt said shoving eggs into her mouth. "No problem." I sit by Gwen and eat. Gwen got out her phone and texted her dad.My aunt takes everyone's plate to the sink after everyone was done eating. My aunt and uncle did the dishes while Gwen and I watched TV in the pillow fort. I turned on the news and saw all the damage the storm did the neighborhood around us. "Looks like we didn't get the worse of the storm." Gwen said with a frown. "Yeah, those poor people.." I said looking at the TV and damage of houses, cars, and trees.

"What about it?" My aunt said coming in. My uncle comes in after leaning on my aunt . "We didn't get the worse part of the storm, the other neighborhoods did." Gwen says explaining what they both missed. "Oh.." My aunt said in a sad tone. "At least no one got hurt." I said looking at my phone. It was a message from Jane and Mark. ~Hey we're coming home early since my dad has work so see ya guys soon!~ I smile and show Gwen the message. "Yay! We can finally hang out with them again!" She said chuckling afterward. My aunt chuckles and watches TV with Gwen and I. We watch the show cops basically all day. I sigh looking at my phone and text Jane and Mark back ~See you guys soon! Can't wait o hang out again!~ Gwen was texting her dad and seeing if she got on a trip with Brendon, Diego, Dawn, Dallas, Jane, Mark, and I for the summer. Her father said sure but stay close to Brendon or me.Gwen smiled brightly and cheerfully at her father's answer. Jane and Mark soon came knocking at the door, and I answered it. We hung with then the rest of the day since we haven't seen them in like a month. They told us about what happened while they were gone. We told them about the storm the that happened recently before they got home and the damage it did to some of the other neighborhoods around here. The city was clean but a couple of branches were on the roads. Jane said she saw the damage of the towns and city on there way back from the trip. Mark said it was bad, it looked like one house was split down the middle with a tree in it.

Most the towns they past got hit badly by the storm. The winds of the storm were strong, the tree looked like they were going to bend over ans snap in half. Some of the tree did and they were right through a couple of houses. Jane talked mostly about her trip with Mark and how fun it was seeing Mark scream. Mark's face starting getting red and he starting tell Jane to stop in a high pitched voice. Jane and Mark ended up spending the night with us in my room. We basically watched horror movies and slept on the floor all night. My aunt was working hard and the hospital for the past 2 or 3 days. She finally came home once Mark and Jane went home. She went into the room where my uncle was and slept. Gwen and I played GTA V down stairs while my aunt and uncle slept. We switched to Mine Craft after getting bored of play GTA V. We built a castle and a village inside the castle on Mine craft. We then worked on building social media apps on there since the maps was pretty big. We switched it back to the TV after we got bored again and watch untold stories of the E.R. We watched that until about 2 in the morning then slept.
