Salon's Mystery

Chapter 1 ' The Family

The sun was shining through the window, birds were singing and I was enjoying putting away dishes. Kind of odd for a 15 year old girl, but this is the only time of the day when I can truly enjoy myself... until Ann wakes up, the master of the house young, annoying, daughter that hates me to the max. She finds every reason in the world to get me in trouble, and she's not the only one. Everyone in the house hates me! They give me the hardest time ever, probably because rich people don't know how to treat their maids. The reason why I'm probably not kicked out of the house yet is because I'm the best maid in the world. I'm hard working, get my work done, and the house shines like their it's made of diamonds . I sigh and put up the last dish.

'' Where are you snail!'' I hear echo from the other room. Ann comes running in with a wicked smile on her face. To other people, she a sweet, kind innocent little girl, with beautiful blond hair, and adorable pink cheeks on her pale face, but she's really an evil witch on the inside.

"Snail, why did you break the vase? You're going to get in big trouble if mommy finds out." She leans on the wall still smiling. She always does stuff like this. Breaking things and blaming it on me. I gave up trying to defend myself because she would start crying and I would get in more trouble then just taking the blame. I jump off the step stool and dash into the main room. while i'm running Ann puts her foot in my way and trips me. I glance back at her as I get up and start running again. her smile grew wickeder and I had a feeling that she had a lot planned for me today, A LOT!

When I make it to the main room, huge with lots of open space, I see glass shattered across the ground, and Leo, the masters oldest son, bent over staring at the mess.

He looks at me and shakes his head. " You clumsy idiot. This is the third time this week." He stands up.

" This was one our rarest treasures too, surely you'll get kicked out this time." He puts his hands in his pockets and started to walk up the huge steps to the wide, well decorated hallways. I bow my head.

" This mess isn't going to clean itself." He yelled halfway up the steps. I sigh and head to the kitchen to get the broom. Leo is 16 and he's like a total Albert Einstein , and he's also really popular because of his looks. He's tall has a nice body and has handsome blond hair, and blue eyes.

When i get to the kitchen I see Luke, the middle child sitting there, working on his homework. He's 15, like me, and nothing like Leo. Luke is athletic, short, and has light dirty blond hair, and emerald green eyes.

"I don't understand!" He shouts. He looked troubled, and confused. As I grab the broom I look over his shoulder to see what the problem was.

" The answer is 24." I say as I walk away. His face lit up and he quickly erased his answer and filled in the correct one.

" How did you figure it so quickly! Are you like a witch or something?" He asks.

" No, I pay attention in class."

He frowns at my response and continues his work. I sweep up the mess and go upstairs to my room. I lie down on the bed for a quick break before I have to go to school. Even though I'm a maid, I still go to school, which is just a miserable as being here, I'm the only person who goes to my school who isn't filthy rich, so I'm the number one target for bull ling. I here a knock on my door.

"Salon!" It was the master of the house wife, there's no way that I can
ever mistake that perky cheerful tone with anyone else voice. She burst into my room and hands me a paper.

" These are your chores for the day, I want them done by six. We're having important guest over today so I want the house to sparkle." She giggles and turns to the door. " Tootles!" She walks out humming a cheerful tune.. I stuff the paper in my book bag, quickly brush my long brown hair. I throw on my school uniform clip on my Ruby necklace. I start to head out the door, but stop to look at the picture sitting on the table right next to it. It me when I was 8, with my mom and dad, before they died, before I lost my memory of them. From what the mister and miss of the house told me there was a car accident and while my mom was on her death bed she beged that the mister and miss take care of me. Out of pity,they took me in. I shake my head and Rush out the door and head down stairs.

" Hurry up! Your going to make us all late if you buffoon!" Leo was standing in the entrance way with his arms crossed leaning on the door. I speed walk out and to the limo. Now time for a miserable day at school.
