Why the Bass?

Chapter 2: Animal Laughs

Emily's POV

"So, how was school today? Did you meet any friends?" Yeah, one.

"Yea, her name is Tara" I tell her with no emotion, I want to tell her about Tori and The "Latiesha" coincidence.

"That's great" why is this getting awkward so fast?

The minivan turns silent, I play with the ginger locks of my hair until.

"Why did you lie to me" I ask my mom, she was clearly lying, because that school was kind of.... Ghetto.

"What, I didn't laa"

"No mom, that school was clearly a bad school" I'm already having problems, it's barely the FIRST day!

"No it isn"

"It is" I interrupt her again, I just need some time of.

The silence is back, you may call it disrespect but I call it "freedom of speech"

My thoughts are interrupted when we arrive.

I climb out of the minivan, heading to our apartments, apt. No. 3 located in this place called  Prairie Hills.

This place has a unique design tho, it appeals to me, the bad part is that I have to live with the "Lundys"

Their a good friend of my mom's and we're staying there until dad comes back from th U.K.

"Here we are" of coarse, we arrived her 2 min ago and now you say it. Ay karamba (as the spanish say)

I throw my bag to my left shoulder, walking to the apartment door.

It wasn't so small but wasn't so big either, it was just normal.

I saw a young handsome young boy with dark hair and pale white skin. His eyes were dark brown, complementing his pinkish cheeks.

"Hello, you msut be"

"Nicky" oh what a cute know it all.

"I'm Emily"

"Nice to meet you" his screechy voice indicates that he must be around 11 or 10.

"So, I see you met young Nicky" I turn around looking at my mom.

"His friends will be here soon, maybe you can befriend them, his mom and brothers aren't here so be nice to him"

"Ok, bye mom" she leaves to work, she has to work until dad comes back, but for now, she's stuck working at this place called "Roler Skate City"

" uh, Ms.Emily, there is someone knocking"

I walk to the door opening it seing Tara and a little girl that kind of looks like Tara, I'm guessing that's her sister.

"Tara?" She arches her brow and her face is full of excitement.

"You know Emily, I mean Ms.Emily Tara?" Young Nicky asks

"Who is this Emily?" Uhh she's standing in front of you.

Tara points at me as I ask the young girl for her name and she says.

" I am the talented and amzing Laila Dale! Here is my companion, Nicky the, ummm, what are you again?"

"I'm the great and powerful! How can you forget, we rehearsed this all day!" All day? What is wrong with these two?

He starts laughing like some kind of animal as Laila does the same, high fiving each other.

"Umm, yeah so Nicky is my cool friend and Apparently you know him too" friends with a 11 yr old? From Tara's character, she seemed like a "serious" type. I change my mind after she joins the animal laughs with Laila and Nicky.

What a great neighborhood! *sarcasm*
