The Silent Treatment

Chapter One:

I opened the door as quiet as I could. As I tip toed past the living room, I heard the rocking chair squeaking. I froze. I waited for the voice, the voice of that angry person who's ready to rip you guts out of you. I waited for a while longer, but nothing happened. I looked at the clock quickly. 2:30 AM. Good my step-parents are asleep. As I took another step I heard the rocking chair squeak again. I waited for someone to get off of that stinking chair and consult me, not scare me to death. I took a deep breath and kept on tip toeing, I got upstairs to my room without waking the sleeping children up. Luckily I had my own room so I shut the door and turned on the light, not afraid of waking anyone up.  But when I turned on the light someone had their hand over my eyes and I couldn't see. I thought of screaming, but then I would have a lot of questions of why I'm dressed like this and why i am wearing makeup.

"Good choice not to scream." Hey, I know that voice. I removed the hands and turned around.

"What are you doing here Paul?"

"Who was the boy?"

"No one."

"He was someone who picked you up and dropped you off giving you a hug." I shot him a glare.

"Where you spying on me?"

"Yes. Yes I was." Wow, talk about truthfulness.

"Um...ok? Now go away, I have to get changed."

"One more question."

"Fine, what?" I said annoyed. I out my hand on my waist and leaned on it.

"Where you partying?"

"No! We went to watch a movie and then we did karaoke!" He ran out of my room and I had a bad feeling about this. 

"Mrs. Victoria! Cassie was partying!" The door whizzed open. She was wearing her silk pajamas, hair curlers, and looked horrifying without her makeup.

"Cassie was what!" She yelled.

"She went out and she was partying with some guy, probably from school." I shot him a glare. Then did I notice one of the children coming from their room tired, her name was Veronica and everyone adored her. She ran to Victoria and held her arms up, wanting her to be carried. Victoria handed the tired child to her husband, Matt, who was wearing a bathrobe.

"Cassie! You know the rules!" Another little girl came out, her name was Patricia and she had to be one of Victoria's least favorite. She stood there by her door knowing if she came any closer, Victoria would tell her to go away.

"Yes, I know the rules, It's just that it was my friends birthday party and I knew you would've said no and I had to go with him because I'm his only friend," I tried to explain,

"Our rule is still our rule! For your punishment, you are going to be house-bound for three months. You know what that is?"

"Umm, no?"

"Thats when you are not allowed to leave the house unless its for school, or any activities I want you to bring the kids to." I shot her a glare. "And for that you are now going to have to put the kids to bed every night for one month."

"What! That takes an hour! With five kids!"

"You see what I have to go through!" she yelled. As I quiclky glanced around I saw the rest of the children at their doors.

"Fine. Whatever." I walked to me room and jumped into my bed.

"That includes tonight!" Yelled Victoria. I groaned and got up. I took all the kids into their room and put them in their beds.

As I put the eggs on my plate I felt someone breathing down my neck. I knew it was Paul so I elbowed him in the stomach.  He doubled in pain as I walked past him stepping on his tennis shoes with my heals.

"Owch, You done being mean?" I ignored him, why not? I'm not allaowed to go out of the house for three months. "Oh, I see you are giving me the silent treatment." I looked at him then back at my food and ate. 

I finished my breakfast and was out the door. Paul ran after me, because apperantly I was his ride to school. I was surprised that his iitke group of friends didn't pick him up. Paul asked me a million questions but none of them I answered. I just cranked up the music adn kept driving. He eventually took the hint but kept on glancing at me. When we got to the school I jumped out of the carand headed to my locker. I didn't stop at the flag pole where I knew all my friends were. I just needed to be alone right now.

Ok, so I promised Enchanted, but I came up with this and I do not want to lose the idea so I wrote it! I am now officialy a teen! Because it is 11:30 and in two time zones away from me is where i was born, which means its 1:30, which means i'm 13! Anywho. I hoped you loked it so leave comments in the comments box and vote!
