"Honey, you sure you want to stay?" My mom asked. "You can move with us and start making friends for next year."
"Mom this year has bairly started why prepare for next year when this year just started.? Your crazy." I say.
"Okay, well we have to get going, hop in and we'll take you to the Fowler's."
"That's okay. I'd rather walk. My stuff is already there."
"You sure then?" My mom says as I nod my head. "Okay then, we'll call you when we get to the new house." Then she started the car and pulled out of the driveway.
I walk into the house and call for my dog. I see a young dog running to my feet. "Good girl, your a good dog aren't you. Come on; let's go meet a new family." I say as I hook her leash to her collar.
When I reach the Fowler's house I climb the stairs and knock. Almost right away Mrs.Fowler opens the door and welcomes me in. "Alessandra, how wonderfulto see you and please call me Amy." We walk into the house with (name of dog) in tow.
"Brooklyn; Alessandra's here show her to her room." Mrs.Fowler calls up the stairs to her daughter.
"Mom do it yourself I'm busy." Brooklyn says as she is eaning over the railing holding her phone to her shoulder.
"Aless, head up stairs and Brook will show you to her room. And help make you feel welcome." Amy says it loud enough for Brook to hear and even though Brooklyn is all the way up the stairs you can see her roll her eyes and mutter 'whatever'.
I walk up the stairs and Brooklyn says "You will not bother me as long as you live in this house. This is the bathroom and that door over there leads to your room. We start dinner at 6:30 every single night. And don't forget to stay out of my way." Then as she turns around before putting her phone to her ear she says "See you at dinner."
I walk over to the dorr and open it I see a young looking girl sitting on the floor with a book of mine in her hands.
"Can you read to me Alesss," she says as she turns to face me," My sister refuses and my mom is always busy. I can read but I want to hear you read. I like your voice.
"Sure, I'll read to you, are you Brooklyn's sister or something." I say beacause I thought Brooklyn was and only child.
"I'm her cousin but my parents died. Her mom adopted me." This girl says. "I'm Lily."
"Sure, I'll read to you but I'm exaughsted and I need a nap before dinner so if your willing to show me to my room I'll read to you and we can all take a nap and be down for dinner before it starts. How's that start?" I say exasparating myself.
"Sounds good to me." Lily says and she sounds older than I first thought she was. She sounds almost like an adult. "Right this way." And we turn down this long corridor that eventually leads into a big room. This room practically looks like a palace ballroom.
"This is my room? It is bigger than the house." I say not willing to hide the impression in my voice.
"This isn't your room this is our room. I know you were expecting a room to yourself but they refused to put a wall in the middle. This room includes our own bathroom and a walk in closet." Lily says this as I open an adjoining door and I think it belongs to the closet. It is; it is also the size of my old bedroom plus some. And I remember where I am as she interupts my thoughts. "I realize you might want some privacy. If you would like we can draw the split curtain that was installed instead of a wall."
I walk into the bathroom. The bathroom is just as big as the closet and maybe even bigger.There is an enourmous bathtub and there are two showers; and who knows how big those are. "Who needs privacy when you live in a mansion studio?" I say as I approach my bed and ask "Is this a memory foam water bed indestructable? And the size I haven't seen before."
"It's a palace size and yes I'm afriad it is. Is that okay or is it to much?" Lily asks as she comes up behind me.
"Lily how old are you really?" I ask the question because each second I see her and everyword she says she seems to be getting older and older.
" Come on, you know exactly how old I am and you know what it is to be my age; for you are my age. I'm 15. I may not be the average 15 year old but I attended The Proper Princess Prep School before I approached age 14. I am always polite and put others before myself because I don't wan to attempt to break the habit that I have developed.
