The Scrapbook
“Good morning- Bridget and April, Chris and Aunt Stephnie” I said as I swung down the stairs and hoping into the kitchen’s dinning room table.
“Well, aren’t we in a good mood?” Aunt Stephnie asked.
“you too?!” I asked happily.
“No, Stuiped, she’s saying aren’t you happy, saying we is just a figure of speech!” April said. April was only 7. Bridget was 11, and Chris was 8 and I was 15, not many age differnces. And April seems to have a brain 2x the normal size. And Bridget-well she’s normal…..ish. And chris, well he just sits there…But he isn’t a part of the family, he’s parents died so were taking care of him. And me I’m a happy go lucky girl! I’m cute, smart, funny ect. Just ask my boyfriend!
“Well, I’m just very happy, always am!”
” I say, that someone with blonde hair and a red shirt spoke to soon!” April said-She always talks sarcasticly.
“……Why?” I asked nervously.
“Well darling…. you have to clean up the attic..”
“What!” My happy go lucky-ness broke. Fell to pieces….I was sad now.
“Why can’t Chris do that or-or Ricky!” I protested. Ricky was our next door neighbor. He was 18 and a totaly hottie, But i still love Mike.
“Because. Ricky is out in Haiwii” Aunt said.
“What!”
“I know you miss him and all but–”
“No I don’t miss him and all-well I do but Hw come he didn’t take me to Haiwii!?” I complained.
“Because-he went with his girlfriend!” April said.
”Well I’d best be going- school is going to start any minute now.” April said taking a bite of her bagel and then cleaning her mouth and grabbed Chris’ arm and left. Her and Chris had a thing.
“Honey? The leaft before you! You should be gone by now!” Stephnie said.
‘School doesn’t start til’ 10:00.” I said,
“Is that why you are so happy?” She looked at my face and corrected her sentence. “Is that why you were so happy?”
“Yes, and just because I am alive….”
“So… it was all about school…?”
“Pretty much-yupp!” I replied.
”well you still have to clean the attic”
“Ugg!” I draged my feet and arms to my room countinuing that sound.
When I finally made it to the guest room I felll back onto my bed. I rolled of the bed…
“Ahh!” THUMP!
I lay there looking under the bed…
“Hey! A scrapbook!”
I reached under the bed to get it
“Cool I wonder when this is from…..”
I opened it…
