Chapter 3
I woke up to the sound of birds chirping on my front window. I just enjoy that little ray of sunshine that hits my window pane every morning; it is one of the best things that I love about this neighbourhood.
Before I could get off my bed my little brother comes rushing to my door and went to hide on my sheets and screaming,
"JADE, HELPP MEEE!! MOMMY'S GONNA GET ME!!!" he said happily.
I laughed and my mom was at the door trying to find him. This is such a typical Saturday morning, Sunday's way worse than this.
"Come out, Come out wherever you are little John. I'm gonna get you." She said with that creepy voice she has.
My mom is a voice actress so she has the ability to change her voice to different people or to any tone she chooses. I quietly point under my sheets to give my mom a clue.
" HAHAHA!! I got you now!!" She quickly pulled John under my sheets and gave him the "TICKLE MONSTER" trick. He laughed so hard that he fell to the ground and continued laughing. I couldn't help myself from laughing and tickled my mom.
"JADEEE!! STOPPP!!" She said while laughing
"BWAHAHAHA!! NO CAN DO!! I AM THE NEW TICKLE MONSTER IN THIS TOWN!! BWHAHAHA!!"
Little John smoothly crawl up my back without me knowing and tickled me too. I turned to face him and tickled him. Everyone was tickling each other and laughing when my Father entered the room.
"What is happening here??" He said with so much astonishment on his face.
"Nothing 'hon, the kids and I were playing." My mom replied as she stood up to kiss my dad.
When I see them together it always makes me want to have a love as great as there's. They were made for each other and I know that someday I will find that someone too. Suddenly Jason popped in my head.
"HELLO!! JADE!!" John said while waving his hands in front of me.
"Yes?" I said while returning to earth. (metaphorically speaking)
"Mom, just asked if you have any plans for today?" Little John said.
" Uhmm.. I will work on my homework and probably bring John to the park since he's been asking me to do it for him a little while." I said while looking at John's happy face.
"Yes, Little John. Today's the day!!"
"YEEHEYYY!!! WOOHOO!! Thanks Jade. YOU'RE THE BEST SISTER EVERRRRRRRRRRR" John said while running around the room and jumping up and down my bed.
Mom and Dad were laughing and gave me two thumbs up. What can I say? The duties of a sister.
"So 'hon, aren't you going to work yet? It's past 8 already." Mom said to Dad while holding his arm.
"I was just about to when I heard a loud noise upstairs and went to check it out." Dad replied.
"HAHA!! Oh well. You know me. I love playing with the kids." Mom replied.
" I KNOWW!!!" Dad said slowly while nodding his head.
"Come on, I'll send you off. Jade, could you kindly bring Little John to eat? Breakfast is at the table."
" Yes, Mom."
I looked around to find Little John and went down to the dinner table together with my parents. I placed Little John at the chair and kissed my Dad on the cheek to work. My mom waved my Dad off as I and Little John did the same.
" So Jade, how was the party?" My mom asked.
"It was fun, until SHELBY pushed me and spilled me my drink." I said while eating on a small chunk of pancakes that my mom cooked wonderfully.
"SHE WHAT?!" My mom said angrily.
"Yes mom. But Lane spitted at her and that got her mad." I continued
"Oh my!" She gasped.
"Yup. Lane has some guts. Buuuut Jennatte was so kind to bring me to her closet and pick something. MOM!! You wouldn't believe!! HER CLOSET IS AS THE SIZE OF MY ROOM!! AND HER ROOM IS AS BIG AS OUR LIVING ROOM!! " I said with so much astonishment.
"HAHAH!! Oh Jadey." She said with a smile on her face.
"MOOOMM!! IT IS TRUEE!!!"
" Yeah, Yeah, I know." She said while eating.
"Mom, are you going to work today?" Little John asked innocently.
"Yes honey, I am as soon as I get you cleaned up." Mom said while looking at Little John's shirt that is filled with syrup and butter.
I just laughed and pinched him at the cheeks. He is just so cute, even Lane and Jenatte says so when they visited me last week. He's turning 5 this year and we are preparing him a big party just as he wished. That reminds me, I have to go to the caterer and pick what food to be served on that day.
"Mom, I should head upstairs and finish my homework." I said while giving my mom a kiss.
"Ok dear, Don't work too hard. We wouldn't want you to get sick." She said with so much concern.
"I won't mom." I said while going up the stairs.
I went to my room and clean the mess that we made earlier and took a bath after. I opened my backpack and took my homework to my study table when something fell out of my History notebook. I picked it up to see what it is.
It is an envelope that has my name written in calligraphy at the middle. I opened it slowly to make sure it doesn't get rip. When I opened it there was a note that said. "HI!"
