CHAPTER TWO: WHAT THE FUDGE

Jane POV 

The next morning I was awakened by my best friend Jennifer Blake. I looked at her and noticed she's wearing denim. Not only the jacket but also the shorts. She had her curly red hair in a bun to go with her look. Then when I saw how wide she was smiling. I realized something was up.

  " what's wrong", I asked her.

 "We are going to the mall.", she said enthusiastically.

When I heard her say mall, I started to feel sick. I hated the mall so much. Plus if I decline she would only nag until i agree. So to avoid any of that I went to the bathroom to get ready.

When I was finished I went downstairs. I saw Marcel and Coby in the living room. 

"what are you guys doing here so early "I asked both of them.

" Jenny called and said to come over we are going to have fun today", Marcel smiled and said.

I knew exactly what he meant. whenever Jennifer says 'fun', she means shopping and causing trouble. The five of us got in Marcel car .which had Marcel and Jennifer at the front and Cody my brother and me at the back. Jack didn't want to come but mom insisted that he come. We all went to the closest mall.

 We went inside the mall. But it wasn't even five minutes later; that we noticed Jennifer was missing. Normally you would go and look for a lost friend. But we were all very glad because we knew she wandered off to one of those shoe boutiques. The four of us went to the food court and bought some burgers and ate; it was not long after we notice Jennifer holding ten shopping bags filled with shoes, clothes and lingerie.

When she arrived next to us, she sat down next to me and Jack and she let out a sigh. 

"how about a movie", jack suggested.

"sure why not ..why don't you pick", Marcel said. And in that very minute, I was thinking of ways to decline the movie offer. Because knowing my brother I know he would choose a horror.

When we arrived at the movie theatre that was in the mall. I was so terrified. I can't watch horror movies at all. I tried to say calm but all of my friends were laughing at how scared I am. I gave jack some money for the tickets and snacks. while he was gone I was praying for him to not pick horror.

When he came back, he gave me my change. He handed me my ticket and I noticed the movie he choose was,' the conjuring'.The moment I saw the name I was terrified. it gave me chills. It even made the hair on my hand rise. When we entered the movie theatre we all had been seated in a row. I was seated next to a young man who was kind of near my age. I couldn't figure his face out because of the darkness in the theatre.

As soon as the movie had started I was afraid of what may happen to me and also to the man that was seated next to me. That is because whenever I am watching a scary movie next to anyone I would grab their arms or any body part that is close to me.

The beginning of the movie was kind of ok but as soon as it got to the terrifying part, I grab the arm of my seat . The next thing I know is that I had grabbed the man's arm. As soon as I realized what I had done. 

"sorry", I whispered, so that I don't disturb the others.

"it's ok", he whispered back. It was something in his voice that sound familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it . The movie was getting scarier and at that moment I grabbed the man hand again.

It was at the end of the movie that I got to cool calm down. When we exited the theatre I could hear my brother and my friends giggling behind me.     I went to the food court to buy a cheese pizza. While the rest of my friends went and took a seat I waited. When I bought the pizza I joined went and joined them. 

I stopped along my tracks when I saw him. He was laughing and talking. I was in shock because I didn't know what's happening here. When I remember yesterday events, I got angry with him again.

Scott POV

BEEP BEEP

I was awakened by the ringing from my phone. I picked it up and answered ,

"hello".

" what are you doing", he asked.

I ignored his question and said, "why did you wake me up". 

"we will be going out today ... so get ready I will pick you up". Before I could decline his offer he hung up. I sighed loudly as shrug out of my bed. I went to the bathroom to get ready. when i placed a hand on my cheek. I could feel a slight pain. As i think back on yesterday, i realized where i went wrong.

Flashback

At around eight in the moring i was at my dad's office. We had just moved from Canada to New york. We were moving into my grandparents house. I planned to help mom unpack, but i couldn't because he had summon me as soon as i landed.I tested mom at the office,

"dad called me ... i will come after talking to him".

"ok have fun ", she texted back. What was with that emoji ,  I thought as i slid my phone in my pocket.

Worried about the reason why he called me. I knocked on the door of his office.A stern but serious tone said,

"come in"

I enterened and he had a frown on his face. Whatever he was going to tell me i knew he was serious.

"take a seat", his voice was domineering. From that moment i knew exactly what he was going to tell me.But i was also hoping i was wrong. Because i couldn't take anymore of his lectures.

"scott you are at age to start thinking about taking over a company", he started  to lecture me.

"i was thinking you go to collage and i then take over the company in LA". His lectured continued. And i couldn't help but think he was choosing how i should live my life.

"dad i will think about it... but don't you think i should choose for myself",i interrupted him. Knowing that would start an argument. I waited for him to start listing ways about the disavtages i have.But he just sighed and said,

" ok lets do that...only if you could stay out of trouble until high school". When he said that i left his office. I thought about it in the elevator. But i came to realize whether i am in trouble or notmy opinion didn't matter at all.

I took a taxi and went to the address mom had given me.The taxi dropped me by a sidewalk. Ibegan walking towards the adresss . I couldn't help but get angry at what happened at dad'office.

"why can't je just let me choose how to live my life", i said as walked along the sidewalk.It just he doesn't ask me what i want.It's always what he wants.

I was angry at my father that I didn't watch where I was going and I walked into a girl. When she walked into me she had a hand on my chest bracing herself from falling into my arms. When I looked down at her I noticed that she had hazel eyes her curly brunette hair was down. And she was utterly beautiful, plus she didn't have an once of makeup on.

 I was so mesmerized by her.  I was brought back to reality when i heard a car pass by. It was then the argument  started. The only thing that surprised me was when she kicked me. I never taught that someone would do that. They would always flirt with me or try to get in my pants because every girl that talked to me wanted to sleep with me.

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

when I finished getting ready. There was a knock on the door it was then that I realized it was colt at the door.I opened the door to find him.he had his curly brown hair in a bun. I sighed and followed him to his car. he started to dive, after a few seconds I asked him,

 " where we are going". Being because i really wasn't sure what kind of adventure he's taking us on.

He said, "we are going to the mall". I just shake my head left to right at his dehaviour.

When we entered the mall Colt decided he wanted to buy some books so I went with him.When we were leaving the bookstore I saw the same girl I saw yesterday. When I looked at her I could see how she didn't pay any attention to what her friends were telling her. She was looking down at her fingers . I followed them as they were headed to the food court.It was when I noticed the boy that was sitting close to her was her brother he was trying to annoy her . After about thirty minutes I heard him say that they would be watching the conjuring.

"we are watching a movie", I told colt and he nodded a yes. I didn't know why but something was tempting me. I was just pulled towards her. When we got to the theatre I was seated right next to her. I glanced over at her and noticed she was tensed . Being because she was fidgeting with her fingers.I was wondering if she can't watch horror movies.

When the movie had reached the scary part she grabbed on the arm of her seat.After a couple of seconds she grabbed my arm. 'Wow she really can't watch scary movies', i thought to myself.As she held on for a couple of seconds. I realized she didn't know her nails were sinking in my arm.The moment she realized she apologized.

"sorry".

"i am going to buy a pizza", she told her friends. . It was at that moment I recognized one of her friends. So when she went to order Colt and I went over to Cody to say hi and we were introduced to one another and we started to get along well. When she came back with the pizza I noticed that she was shocked to see me. It was after I heard her say , "what the fudge" which is weird because yesterday she said f**k.

Jane pov

I was so shocked at what I am seeing.Plus I can't believe i nearly swore again.I decide to go towards the table and pretend like i don't know him.Then Cody introduced us,

" Jane this is Scott and Colt they were my friends from my previous school . And Scott and Colt this is Jane ...my best friend, but I would warn you don't upset her she is going to kill you". They all laugh at what Cody had said. When Cody stopped laughing he turned towards me and noticed I was not happy at what he said.

" Um Jane are you angry at what I just said you know I was only joking right", he said being dramatic again.

I just let it slide because I know that he was trying to cool my nerves from the movie we had seen.

" oh I know you are joking", I slapped him behind his head while grabbing a slice of pizza.

After a couple of minutes I heard Scott ask me, " Jane do you curse" at the very moment Marcel and Cody looked at each other and answered  at the same time," no ." 

When the two of them answered; Jennifer started saying, " well she used to curse and then she stopped". 

Scott and Colt look bewildered as if they don't know what was going on at that moment.As she was going to explain what she meant, Marcel and Cody kicked her telling her to stop and then she mouthed to me,

" I am sorry."

After a minute Cody asked me, "J I want to ask you a question about something".

"what", i nearly shouted. He could sense I was angry and he was right I was mad at Jennifer for talking about my past how could she. She didn't even know what happened at that time.

He said, "ok ok I won't make you angry but can you answer this question."

He was really eager to ask me something, so i told him,

"ok"

 . "Between me and Marcel who do you think is good looking " . It was that question again. And out of nowhere, I heard Jennifer giggle and tell Cody,

" you know if you weren't friends, she would already beat you black and blue". Everyone started to laugh. He pleaded for me to answer me, I just told him what I told him yesterday,

"a pig is more good looking than you"

"you are calling me ugly", he started whining like a baby who had his toy stolen. Then i realised he was being dramatic again.

We were all laughing at what had happen. It was a while later that I heard Marcel say, " you know what J it has been a while since I have seen you laugh and enjoy yourself ."

 I just said, "really".

They all said," yes ". 

"i am glad you are starting heal of what happened two years ago", jack whispered to me.  I didn't want my friends to know what I went through so I kicked him on his knee under the table to notify him to shut up and he looked at me trying to ask why I did that. He then realized that he should shut up because he was starting to expose everything.

It was after a few minutes when Cody said, "J did you know Scott is living in our neighbourhood". 

 I didn't know what he was talking about so I asked,"Which part of the neighbourhood". 

he said," both of you are neighbours".

 I was shocked.

 I said , "no because marcel and I are neighbours".

"he's living at the sullivan's home on the right", cody explained.

"oh",i said. I was just irritated at that because I taught that I was never going to see him again . But now I have to see him every day.

And once we have new neighbours my mom would want my brother and me to go over and say hi and welcome them. I was so angry not only did I meet him today I will have to see him every day of my life until I graduate because I am sure he will go to our school.

After a few moments, I told my friends that I will be leaving, and they all say they will be leaving too. When we left the food court I saw someone familiar coming towards me. I then noticed that it was my father. When I looked at my brother and then back in the direction. He noticed what was happening.

He then told my three friends what was the situation about, all of my friends knew about my relationship with my father. My friends tried to help me get away from him but I told them I am brave now to handle him.

When he arrived he said, " Jane can I talk to you", 

I angrily told him,"no". 

I thought that I could do it but I just started to get angry and started shouting, 

" you had time to talk about everything 13 years ago, but no you only wanted to take everything from mom and her family. You know that mom has a rich father who would do anything for her but you didn't realize that he will stop talking to her. So you went and got mom pregnant twice because you taught once we are heirs to the Olsen's then we would receive shares too. You would always demand for things. So you used her and us. So dad all I can say is that you never loved us you just used us as properties and as objects. So I would like it if you would say far away from me and my brother.

And out of nowhere, I heard my brother say, "would you please say away from her you are the reason she is like this . She always says that not everyone is like you and two years ago she realize that everyone is like you".

Everyone started to walk towards the exit. I sensed my  heartfelt a lot lighter. Then Jennifer asked, " Jane remember when we met in grade nine when you saved me from a bully". 

I answered with a," yes". I then curiously asked her, "why".

She said nervously," then do you remember that you would always swear and laugh and you would always be the life of the party, and you would wear makeup and dress in the coolest clothes". 

I kind of knew what she was talking about so I decided not to start an argument and simply say," why are you telling me this ". 

She said fidgeting with her fingers, " I think you are beginning to be the same person I met when I was in grade nine ."

Well I didn't know she was going to say that I thought to myself

I then heard Marcel say, "well that is weird because whether you change from what you are before to what you are now you would always beat us if we make you angry". Everyone started to laugh at what Marcel said.

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

when we arrived home I told mom everything that had happened she then comforted me and told me that everything will be ok. We then ordered take out from a Chinese restaurant because mom said that she is too tired to cook. After we finished lunch mom asked me if I can bake some cookies for the new neighbours. So I asked her how many persons live there she told me about twelve of them. All I could say is wow that is one big family so I decided to bake the cookies.

While baking the cookies a taught came to my mind that I should put some wasabi inside of the cookies that are for Scott . I made a variety of cookies which include oatmeal cookies , chocolate chip cookies , cherry drop cookies and cinnamon cookies . There were about ten dozens of cookies that were made .

When I had finished everything which had include decorating and placing them in tiny bags for each person in the house hold . And I made sure the one that Scott had was made beautifully . When I finished with all of the preparation with the cookies I decided to go and take a shower because of all the flour that was on me .

When I got out of the shower I quickly pulled on some black sweat pants and an pink sweat shirt and then I quickly pulled my long curly brunette hair in a bun . When I was finished getting ready I quickly ran downstairs to find my mom and brother waiting on me . The two of them grabbed their coat while I grabbed the cookies that was on the island in the kitchen. The three of us quickly walked over to the Sullivan's house .

The Sullivan's house not only looked big but it looked more like a mansion itself . When we walked up to the door mom knocked on the door while my brother and I just stayed behind her admiring and talking about the house . Plus we were comparing it to our uncle's houses too. 

We were interrupted by the sound of the door bell , after a couple of seconds a lady came to open the door . The lady looked like she was in her late thirties . She had very red hair it was in a high ponytail she was about 5'1 she wore some blue skinny jeans and a white t-shirt .

She then grabbed my mom in a big hug saying happily ,

" it's been like forever since I last saw you"

My brother and I looked at each other confused at what was going on at the moment . When they had broken away from their hug my mom introduced us saying ,

" Karen these are my kids Jane and Jack . Kids this is Karen Sullivan we went to the same high school together ."

We told her hi there was silence for a couple of seconds when my mom said ,

" Jane made you some cookies for the family"

Karen replied " wow it looked like you already know who to give what and who not give what"

We giggled she then said let me call the kids down she then shouted ,

"kids  we have guests come down quickly."

They all came down at one time. Then she said ,

" kids this is miss Olsen , and her kids jane and jack there are our neighbors . Guys these are my kids Sam , Jacob , Austin , Caleb ,Nick , Nichols's , Zion , Stephen , Scott and my youngest Luke"

 When she had finished calling their names I felt someone grabbed my leg when I looked down it was Luke . I then took a bag of cookie out of the basket and handed the basket to my brother and I knelt down to reach at his height I asked ,

" hey Luke how old are you"

he said , " I am five" showing me his fingers.

I said , " well Luke do you like cookies"

he said , " yes".

"Do you have chocolate chip I love chocolate chip .", he asked stooping up to look in my hand. 

I then told him , " well you are in luck because I have got you some chocolate chip cookies hope you like it I made it."

I gave him the cookies and then he went going towards Scott telling him something. 

" I wished my brother was so adorable and cute when he was five", I said wiping a fake tear off my eyes.

" you know I can hear you right", jack said getting a bit irritated.

I just ignored him. Knowing that would anger him.

" And for your information I was cute and adorable when I was five", he said and I noticed he was getting a bit angry. 

" My dear loving brother i could tell you a hundred things but cute and adorable wasn't any of them", I said sarcastically.

At that point I knew he was full out angry. Because he turned to mom and asked her angrily," mom wasn't i cute when i was five". he waited for mom to answer but she was contemplating what to say.

" mom" , he shouted more angrily.

" well sweetie ... um ... when you were five you were no where to cute . You were kind of a troublemaker.", mom said stammering a bit trying not to hurt his feelings . But I think he already knew that.

" no i wasn't", he said in a high pitched sound.

" oh really i bet a frothy bucks i could tell you three things you did at five that got you in trouble.", i said challenging him.

"ok deal" he said ready to hear what i have to say.

" ok. when you were five and mom would take you at the playground you would always get into fights with the other kids ." i was cut when he said

" they started it first"

"still talking", i said waving both of the forty bucks in his face.

He motioned me to continue.

"ok. when we used to live in Liverpool i had a friend who would come over and you told her that you wanted to see her underwear . only god in heaven knows where you learn that" i said looking at him for an answer.

He started to say," remember cousin Leo ".

i shook my head.

" well when he stayed with us for the week i went in his room and saw a book on his bed with girls in bikins and lingere.  as  was about to go to another page he came out the bathroom taking on the phone with someone saying ,if  you show me your underwear I will show you mine." he said seductively too . i mean he didn't had to do that.

I wanted to laugh but i stopped myself because i had to tell the last one. he even noticed that.

"jane don't laugh or else the bet is off", he said knowing he was losing.

"ok but tell one thing why did yo tell my friend that", i asked wanting to know what he thought it meant.

"well i thought it meant becoming friends. and you knew i was friends with all your friends except her don't blame me i was only five"

i just nod my head and continue with the last one ,

" Remember when we were spending a week of summer with our grand aunt Olga and when she took us into town you kissed that girl who have never met before." looking at him and pushing the money in my pocket.

" ok fine i wasn't a cute , innocent and adorable when i was five . you win . But let me tell you something it was a love at first sight kiss. he said  and everyone started to laugh.

"are your kids always like this " i heard Karen asking my mom . 

"oh no this is nothing. You should when they are fighting for food ", mom said sarcastically.

when i looked over at Scott's direction i saw that he was coming towards me.so  I then took the cookies that contain the wasabi and gave it to him and then I distributed the rest of the cookies to his brothers and gave the remaining to his mom . Before he could take a bite I told mom I was coming back I rushed through the door as quickly as possible and giggling .
