Chapter 9 - Living Hel (Part 3) ~ "I can't live without you!" he said sarcastically, catching up. "Are you mad because I never gave you black roses? I'll make it up to you. I'll get you new clothes--from the graveyard." ~ The part-time after-school gig had to go. How could I get the scoop on the Mansion family if I was…
Chapter 9 - Living Hel (Part 2) ~ "Thanks, I guess," I said as I got up to leave. I checked my watch. The interview had taken fifteen minutes, but it felt like an hour. This job was going to be complete torture. ~ Connections. They'd be wonderful if my dad knew Steven Spielberg or the Queen of England, but Janice Armstrong…
Chapter 9 - Living Hel (Part 1) ~ Then he said the three words that reverberated in my head and made me go dizzy with fury. As he said them I thought I was going to explode into a million unhappy pieces. ~ "You what?" my father yelled during dinner after I told him I lost his racket. Read PART 1 >>> HERE Please consider…
"Who will they believe, freak-- an honors student who is a star soccer player or a two-bit gothic chick with one friend, who spends more time in the principal's office than in class?" "You owe me a tennis racket!" I shouted helplessly as Trevor sauntered off. I admit it, Trevor had avenged himself for the Naked Woods…
"You're going to pin this on me? I can't believe you!" "Don't worry, I don't think you'll go to jail over this, babe. You'll just get a major spanking by that crazy butler." I had gotten in enough trouble for things I had done; I didn't want to be punished for things I hadn't done. Trevor started walking to class. I caught…
"He's taking the evidence with him, and that evidence is worth two hundred dollars," I whispered to Trevor. "Yeah, the evidence," he said. "Against you!" "Me? Your fingerprints were all over it. That guy saw you, too." "He only saw me running. He could have been after you. You were mad he ran out of candy, so you sprayed…
But Creepy Man drew back. "I'd prefer to keep it in my possession for now. If you find the owner, she knows where she can claim it. Good day," he said and bowed to a charmed Mrs. Gerber. I freaked and pulled Trevor behind a statue of Teddy Roosevelt. "It's a trap," I said, squeezing Trevor's gloved hand. "I'll show up and…
"🐸🐸🐸🐸, freak, if you hadn't hit me none of this would have happened." "If you hadn't been born, none of this would have happened, you creep. Shhh, already!" "Sir, you can leave the racket with us and we can make an announcement," I heard Mrs. Gerber reply. "What did you say the girl was wearing?" "A tennis outfit, miss."…
"Shhh! That's the butler from the Mansion!" I whispered, pointing. "So what?" "He's looking for us!" "How can he be looking for us? It was dark, stupid!" "That guy saw us! He probably found the spray cans on the lawn and whatever stuff you sprayed on the wall as proof! And he has my dad's tennis racket!"
Trevor paused, staring down at me like he was going to explode. But I was distracted by a strange figure talking to the secretary in the principal's office. It was Creepy Man! Standing pale in the bright fluorescent light, his long gray overcoat shrouding his skinny body. And hanging from his pale, bony hand was my dad's…
"Guess you'll have to miss a few sessions of graffiti club," I joked. "Since your trigger finger is out of commission." He stopped and stared at me coldly. But he thought better of speaking and walked on. Ouch! I guess I hurt more than his hand. "I see you made it home safely," I continued, pursuing him. "Matt took great…
Chapter 8 - Looking For Trouble ~ "Who will they believe, freak--an honors student who is a star soccer player or a two-bit gothic chick with one friend, who spends more time in the principal's office than in class?" ~ I was making my way to history class when I spotted Trevor walking ahead of me.
