4156 Words
I'm sitting down on a pack of linens and playing with my fingers while mom is looking at Sam from head to toe. "You want me to hire him to work here?" Mom turns her face at me. "Yeah. He lives with me and dad. His family is in Kentucky and he was homeless." I nod at her. Mom sighs and start walking away. I frown and give a sign to Sam and walk following her. "Mom, please just let him have part time work. You can pay him as much as working hours he does." I said to her. "Alright $9 per hour." Mom nods. "Yay thank you so much!" I smile at her and hug her. "You seems have a crush on this guy." Mom chuckles. "No, I didn't I'm just being nice. Okay I will tell him that he can start work here from tomorrow." I smile at mom and walk to Sam. "You got the job. $9 per hour and you can work part time which is your salary will be count on how much you're work." I said to Sam. "Yay!" Sam chuckles and hugs me. I giggle and hug him back until we pull each other away awkwardly. I giggle and flip my hair back to my earlobe and take my bag. I walk out from Sheets N Things then put my hands inside my jeans pocket. I'm a country girl who just love wearing simple clothes like jeans, converse, and long sleeve shirt with a bag on my back. "So where should we go now?" Sam asks me. "Supermarket. I need to do groceries." I said to him and walk to my car. I get into my car and put my bag on the backseat. As Sam gets in, I start to drive away to the grocery to buy food stocks and all. Since dad always wrong to buy some groceries so I did it now. "You did all those housewife thing?" Sam asks me. "Since my parents divorced? Yes." I nod. "I do the housewife thing like do groceries, clean the house, and cook dinner and breakfast." "It suck isn't it?" "Yeah it is but it's better than hearing them yelling at each other everyday. I mean every kids want their parents to be together but if fighting everyday is what happening so I'd say no." I shake my head. "Yeah sometimes the best choice is let go than hurting yourself." Sam nods. "What about you? You know that Mercedes is having a new boyfriend and he got a football scholarship at Ohio State?" I turn my face at Sam. "Well, I'm moving on. He can have her. I'm not gonna die just because I'm single right?" Sam chuckles. "You're gonna die if you push yourself off of the cliff." I laugh and park my car. "I know that guy you usually stalk name." Sam simply said as we walk out from the car. "Who?!" I raise my eyebrows. "Cole. But he has a girlfriend and he is actually went to East Coast High School." Sam says to me. "You asked him if he has a girlfriend?" I frown at Sam. "I asked him for his phone number." Sam says innocently. "He probably think that you are gay." I frown and take a cart. "How come you talk to him anyway?" "Oh last night, I was taking out the trash to the garbage. Then I saw him walk out from his car. So I came over and introduce myself and all. He thought that I'm your big brother so I told him that I'm your friend." Sam says to me. "Yeah well, being single won't make me die." I chuckle and start pushing my cart. "Are you really never ever have date anyone before?" Sam asks me. "Never. I'm just enjoying being teenage girl besides I can't date guys from McKinley. My dad knows them." I said to him and take some cereals. "Can I get this?" Sam grins at me and take cornflakes cereals. "Fine!" I roll my eyes. "It's like me and my dad are adopting you." I chuckle. "Yeah like that." Sam chuckles. I look around and keep pushing the cart to buy some food stocks and other things. Being the only one child from a divorce parents is suck but there is nothing I can do instead of letting them separate. ~~ "No! More thin." I said to Sam. "Like this?" Sam asks as he keep rolling the cookie dough using rolling pin. "A bit more or the cookies won't be crunchy." I said to him. "Exchange, I will boil the chocolate." Sam sighs. "You can't boil the chocolate directly to the pan." I roll my eyes. "Then how?" Sam asks me. I walk to the stove and take a boiling pan. I fill it with water and then boiling it. "Give me that transparent bowl." I said to Sam. Sam walks to me and give me that bowl. I take the chocolate bar and frown as there is a piece cut from this chocolate. "Sam?" I turn my face at Sam. "Who doesn't love chocolate?" Sam giggles and grin at me showing his teeth that covered with chocolate. "Your teeth is full with chocolate." I laugh. Sam cover up his mouth and walk to the sink. I chuckle and put the transparent bowl on the water with the chocolate bar in it. I turn off the stove and stir the chocolate using the wooden spatula. The chocolate smells seems so delicious. I can't wait to eat it soon. "Now you cut the cookies using those cookies cutter and put it into the oven." I said to Sam. "I can't do that." Sam says to me. "Okay you keep stirring this chocolate and I'm gonna put the cake into the oven." I said to him. I walk to the counter and cut the cookie dough using cookies cutter. I put it on the pan then put it into the oven. After that I walk to Sam who secretly l*****g the chocolate using his fingers. I slap his hand and take the transparent bowl. I continue stir the chocolate so it won't dry quickly. "My stomach is craving." Sam says to me. "I know. Me too." I chuckle. The oven is ringing. I take my hand gloves and take the cookies from the oven and put the pan on the counter. "Now the smells makes my stomach like pinching me from inside." Sam says to me. I chuckle and take the cookies then dip half of the cookies into the chocolate. After that I put those back into the pan. "Now your job is pouring the sugar and sprinkles." I said to Sam. "Using the strainer for the sugar so it won't be too much." Sam takes the strainer and put sugar on it as he start pouring the sugar on the cookies. He then sneezing loudly until all the sugar on the strainer spurts all over his face and his clothes. I can't help it and laugh out loud because he looks like a white chocolate cookies. "What are you laughing at huh?" Sam raises his eyebrows at me and put the chocolate all over my face. "Sam!" I pout at him. "Little bit sprinkles." Sam laughs and seeds my head with sprinkles. "Now you are delicious." Sam laughs. I roll my eyes then Sam throw the flour at me. "I got the flour on my eyes!" I said to him and close my eyes and rub my eyes. "Don't rub it." Sam takes my hand. He open my eyes using his fingers and blow my eyes. I open my eyes slowly and we both looking at each other. "You have beautiful eyes." Sam says to me. We both keep looking at each other until he pulls his face closer to me about to kiss me. I turn my face away quickly and wipe my hands with tissue paper. No. I can't kiss him. It will be a disaster. Suddenly I heard the front door is opening. "Guys? I smell chocolate here." Dad walks in. "What are you guys doing?" "We're baking!" I giggle. "I found these cute cookies cutters and I thought we never have one so I bought them and we made chocolate dip cookies. Be our guest." I smile at dad. "Yeah she is the one who spent your money to buy these stuffs not me, Mr. Schue." Sam says to dad. "Do you brought the dinner I asked you?" I ask dad and walk to laundry room and pick up a clean towel to clean my face. "Yeah and I hope you don't mind that I invited Ms. Pillsbury over." Dad says to me as Ms. Pillsbury walks into the kitchen and smiles at us. "Alright, you can sit down there and I'm gonna prepare the dinner." Dad says to her. She walks to the dining table and take baby wipes from her bag. I let out a sigh and cleaning up the kitchen counter. I put the cookies into a cookies jar and takes a piece. I never have any guts to tell dad that I don't like her. Not like her personality. I just can't accept her. She ruined my family. I mean, if dad wasn't meet her and my parents wouldn't get divorced. I'm exhausted doing the custody every week. "I'm gonna take shower first. I got this chocolate all over my face." I said to dad and walk upstairs. I half smiled and walk to my room. I close my room door and walk to the bathroom. I wash my face on the sink and then look at to the mirror. How am I going to stay like this forever? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Sectionals* I'm standing in front of the piano and doing vocal warming up with the others. Today is sectionals day and we will facing some of our friends in The Troubletones. I know it suck. "Let's take a few moments to gather our thoughts. Troubletones are on in five." Dad says to us. "Hello, Will." Ms. Corcoran walks in with The Troubletones. "Looking good, ladies!" Dad smiles at them. "We just came to say, may the best glee club win." Ms. Corcoran says to us. "Yes, and just in case that glee club is us, I have convinced Miss Corcoran to consider a contingency plan." Santana says to us. "Yes, in the event of a New Directions loss, Troubletones has voted to allow any of you to join us at Regionals." Ms. Corcoran smiles at us. "You're welcome." Sugar simply said. "Excuse me? That's incredibly rude, Santana." Finn frowns. "We're being nice. It would be rude if I followed you around and every time you took a step, I played a note on a tuba." Santana simply said. "Thank you for the offer, Miss Corcoran, but right now, we're gonna concentrate on winning this thing." Dad says to her. "And we will be winning, Shelby. We've got it in the bag.Puck here is going to come through for us. He's such a shining star, in every conceivable way. Don't you think?" Quinn smirks at her. "Good luck, everybody. See you on the ice." She smiles at us and walks away with the Troubletones. I let out a sigh and button my blazer then walk out from the choir room. I walk to the auditorium and look around over the seat row until I see my mom is sitting down on a seat. "You're coming!" I smile at her and hug her. "I won't miss it for the world. Good luck." Mom rubs my hair and kisses my cheek. I walk to my audience seat and sit down there. "And now, the judges for this year's Show Choir Sectional here at McKinley High. Department of Motor Vehicles Employee of the Month, Brandy Englebert! From the 11th District Court of Appeals, the Honorable Judge Dorothy Saunders! And Western Ohio's Birthday Clown of the Year three years running, Tickles! And now, let's welcome our first performers. All the way from Defiance, Ohio, the Unitards!" "I see your mom came here." Dad says and sits down next to me with Ms. Pillsbury sitting down on the next one. "Yeah I sent her ticket besides this is first time we have sectionals in our auditorium since 1976." I said to him. "That's right." Dad nods. "How do you feel?" "Nervous." I half smiled. The Unitards ended up their performance. I stand up from my seat and give them applause. The Troubletones have Santana and Mercedes. We don't even have Rachel. "Ladies and gentlemen, from McKinley High, competing for the first time ever, the Troubletones!" We are applauding and see the Troubletones are performing on stage. They're performing a mashup song of I Will Survive and Survivor. They may have pretty ladies but we have hot guys. "Alright, guys get ready now." Dad says to us. I stand up and walk to the backstage to get ready for the performance. The Troubletones is finally ended up their performance and it was bring a standing ovation from the full house. "Also from McKinley High, let's give it up for the New Directions!"

And Sam brought those disgusting yet hot s*x moves that the judges like so it like we have 90% chance of winning. "As an award-winning clown, I'd like to say that it's nice, for once, to be working with kids that are just sick with talent. Third place....The Unitards!" We are applauding and smiling as the judges give the Unitards the trophy. We then move our standing place and walk to the middle. "In second place we have........the Troubletones! In first place is New Directions!" We are cheering and hugging at each other. Sam suddenly hugs me tight and swing me around until we both look at each other and pulls away awkwardly again. I don't know what's wrong with us but I'm happy that we won again.
