Chapter Nine....

It was about 9.00 when I woke up the next morning. Gosh it was cold. I got up and went to my bathroom and had a hot shower. (Kate, Beccah and I share a bathroom which connects our rooms.) I got out and got dressed and went downstairs. Robert was playing couch commando. Kate and Beccah were playing dolls, and Gemma was on the phone gossiping. Gosh she went on. I was eating breakfast and then I watched some T.V, and the whole time she was talking about Karl Denmann- The resident hunk of Gemma’s school. Karl’s going out with Angela Branson, so obviously I figured that’s who Gemma was talking to. Karl was obviously being a jerk to Angela, because the whole time, they were debating over weather Karl was a full on jerk, or was he just going through a jerkiness stage. Luckily, Taylor and Zac came and saved me. They knocked on the door and asked me if I wanted to go for a walk.

“Ya-huh” I said and got my jacket and left.

“So what were you doing?” Zac asked

“Watching T.V and listening to Gemma’s version of day’s of our lives” I said.

“Sounds fun!” Tay said

“Oh yeah!” I said “Where’s Ike?”

“He’s not feeling well” Taylor explained.

“ I haven’t spoken to him much since he got back, I’ll go and see him later” I said as a dog came running out in front of us.

“Tess!!” A tall girl called from across the street. Zac picked up the dog and the girl came and got it.

“Thank you” She said “I’m Tegan Wakefield”

“Hi Tegan, I’m Zac Hanson, and this is my brother Taylor and this..” Zac said pointing to me “this is Chloe` Bannick”

“Hi” Taylor and I said.

“Zac and Taylor Hanson, as in the mmmboping Hansons?” Tegan asked, even though she already knew.

“Yeah, nice to meet you” Taylor said. “Cool” Tegan said.

“ So, your just moving here?” I said when I saw the moving van outside the house Tegan came running from.

“Yeah” Tegan said “Do you want to meet the rest of my family?”

“Sure” we all agreed, and walked over to the house.

“Okay, this is my brother Michael, he is 11, Mum, Allison- Dad -Jarrod, Melissa she’s 4 & Rikki, she’ 14” Tegan intrroduced us. “ Guys, this is Taylor, Chloe` and Zac.”

“Hi” we all said “Nice to meet you”.

“Nice to meet you too” Rikki said “You guys are Hanson right?” She said

“Yeah” Taylor said.

“Cool, you guys rock” She said.

“So where are you moving from?” I asked Rikki.

“Couple of Suburbs away” She mumbled at me, like she had something against me. “Maybe she’s having a bad day” I thought to myself.

“Oh, so you know your way around here” Taylor said

“Yep” She said, very friendly towards Taylor.

“So Rikki, your 14, so am I, what month are you born in” I asked.

“September 23rd” She mumbled to me again

“Oh, I’m born in May” I said, being friendly.

“Yeah well no-one asked for your life story” Rikki snapped “Anyway, I need someone to help me unpack” She said really friendly.

“I’ll help” I offered.

“Doesn’t matter” She mumbled.

‘I’ll help” Taylor said.

“Thanks Taylor” She said very friendly once again, and showed him inside.

“Come on Zac” I Said, and we walked off. Now, my motto is never judge a person until you’ve walk a mile in there shoe’s, but the way Rikki just treated me, I think I can make an exception. Rikki obviously has something against me, and she doesn’t know me. She’s judging me, and well, from that day onwards. I hated her
