The Painter and Toker

Chapter 1

She honestly couldn't believe that it had been 2 days of driving from GA and now she sat at the light about to turn right into Pointview Wisconsin. She knew that as soon as her summer art program back at home ended, she'd be moving here with her new family. Ha family she scoffed. Her father had been dead less than a year when her mom married the New Cardio Surgeon Gregory Chaplin. Her mom had barely grieved before handing Addie the maid of honor bouquet, leaving her to walk down the church isle  with her now Step-brother Ryan, the star quarter back and star idiot of her old high school.

She resisted pushing the gas pedal, when she was poked in the ribs, by her new friend Donna Pinciotti; She got into the creative writing class at their summer art program, they ended up being roommates and pretty close friends.

" It won't be that bad" Donna reached over and turned the radio up, Joan Jet and the runways roared through the stero speakers " turn right at the water tower, then left at the cross walk. It's kind of Destiny that we got stuck as roommates, now you literally moving into the house across the street from mine.

"yeah, more like freaky"

Donna frowned

" not bad freaky just weird, and good freaky weird"

" a good freaky weird? You really are nervous "

" hey, words are you thing not mine"

"true, true... but at least you get to see you mom, bar your Step-dad and step-brother"

"ohh, yay mom" Addie rolled her eyes,

" why is there a green hand flipping me off on that water tower"

:"That would be the lovely work of Kelso and Hyde" and it's meant to be certain type of leaf.

" well that certain type of leaf, looks like an alien hand",

"don't tell Kelso that he fell of the water tower, trying to fix it"

" they tried to fix that? Omg"

" yeah , well not everybody paints like Davinci, now turn left here at the crosswalk, that's the hub, and you can just see the high school over there. Now make a left into the neighboor hood.

"and that where my Family are, what happens if I take a quick left instead?"

"We'll turn into the diary queen, and you spent all the snack money on gummy bears" Donna then reached over quickly grabbing the stirring wheel and pulling in to the neighbor hood.

" Damn you Donna, damn you,"

" if let you decided we'd end up in Canada"

Addie turned in the cul-de-sic " that's you house on the left the red. Mine's the yellow one, erics the green one with all the boys and Jackie in the drive". Addie pulled in her new red house and sat there drumming her fingers on the stirring wheel.

Donna laid her hand on her shoulder, well I'm gonna get out of the car now

" once I get out of this, it's all over my happyness my freedom."

" well turn up Joan Jet, and hope your parnets didn't see you pull up." Donna grabbed her bag from the back, and climbed out shutting the door behind

" umm.. by the way I think that's your step dad getting up from the kitchen table,.

" dammit dammit" she hit her hand on the wheel

. " I'll come over around 8 to make an escape route? Think that be okay?"

"yes, please, please,please"

"Good luck" and Donna ran across street.

Addie sucked in a huge breath, and got out of the car.
