Cookie's Sister

Chapter 1

Hello, I'm Hayley Cook, Jamie cook's Sister, younger sister, by 3 years.

Jamie has always loved music, he is also very talented at the guitar too, he usually meets up with his friends after school and at any spare moment really to play and mess around with their instruments

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm 15 currently, Jamie is 18.
He's out with his friends at the moment but he should be home soon as dinner is ready.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror, my long, brown, tight curly hair flops over my shoulders and my piercing blue eyes contrast against against the warmth of it. I notice my freckles dotted all over my face, I hadn't ever really liked my freckles as when I was younger I used to get picked on for them.

I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen, "Hi mum" I say
"Hello sweetpea, can you set the table dinner's nearly ready and Jamie should be home soon"
"yeah OK" I relply and set the table as told to do so.
"Do you know what time Jamie said he would be home?" my mum called from the other room.
"NO sorry mum" I reply, I knew Jamie wouldnt be long, he wasn't usually late unless they lost track of time while playing music.

I run into the living room and jump on the sofa to look outside onto the drive, I sit there waiting for Jamie to appear any second, and suddenly just as I thought he did. He was walking along side to other boys, one of which wore a denim jacket, that was Matt. However the other boy I hadn't seen before, he was tall with a worn leather jacket, aviators and gelled hair that reminded me of the 50s. His image was tough, but I could tell by the way he laughed that he wasnt nearly as tough as he seemed.

Soon they all part, and so I run to greet Jamie at the door with a hug, "Who was that?" I ask
"Matt" he replied with a chuckle
"No, the other one, I know who matt is, dimwit" I reply followed by a laugh
"Wouldn't you like to know" was all he said, "Where's mum?" he asked
"In the kitchen" I sighed as he walked off with a cheeky grin on his face. I follow behind him.

"Hi mum!" Jamie said as his mum was putting the food onto he plates.
"Hello dear, your just in time for dinner" she said with a light smile of her face, "Hayley, go and tell your father dinner's ready, he should be in his study."
"OK mum" I reply quickly

As I walk along I drag my hands along the wall until I reach the door. I knock lightly as wait for my father's response, "Come in" he said

I slowly opened the door, "mum says dinners ready"

"OK I'll be there in a second sweety"

I smiled and walked back I to the kitchen and took a seat next to Jamie at the table.

As we eat its fairly silent as there isn't much to discuss, I notice Jamie playing with his food, pulling it around his plate. He looks up, his eyes hopping from mum to dad, until they meet my confused expression.
He takes a deep breath, "So.. Umm... I have some news.." he said cautiously.

"Okay..?" we all say in unisen

"I've joined a band."
