Yeah I'm HIS Daughter...Gotta Problem?, chapter 1
C'mon you gotta get up! I heard my dad yell as he came into my room. Something was wrong because he was in a really good mood. Mom and him must've made up last night. I stretched, yawned then got out of bed and made my way downstairs. "Well look who finally got up. Good After-noon," Mom said when I sat down at the table in front of my 2 younger siblings. The phone rang and I went over to answer thinking it was one of my friends.
"Hey, where's your dad?" I heard Mike ask on the other end. Yup my dad is Tre Cool-well actually Frank Edwin Wright III- if you want to be specific.
"Hang on," I said walking over and giving the phone to my dad. I heard him talking and I looked at the table. Oh and just to clear this up Frankito is my half-brother but I consider him a real brother. I looked over at Ramona-she was my real sister-and asked her to pass me the cereal. She nodded then handed it to me.
"Hey, Mona something wrong?" I asked her before I took a bite of my cereal. She nodded then got up and went into the living room.
"I'll be right back," I said getting up and following her. I found her sitting on the couch just staring at the TV.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked her taking the remote and turning off the TV.
"Nothing! God your just like dad so nosey," she said getting angry.
"Geez what the freak is your problem?" I said standing up to go upstairs to change. Ramona got up and ran past me, up the stairs, and into her room where she slammed the door. Dad looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders. I went upstairs and changed into a red t-shirt and a pair of shorts then went back downstairs. I had just started down the stairs when I tripped in something gooey and fell down the rest of them.
"Dad the games don't start for another day!" I yelled. See the kids as in Ramona, Frankito, Joey, Jakob, Stella, and me and then the Band as in Billie, Mike and my dad Tre, have this thing called THE GAMES. We would all play tricks on the other team and then the team with the most points would win. I walked into the kitchen where my dad was laughing his head off because I was covered in bright purple goo.
"I... we... decided to start early," he said in between laughs.
"No fair and you guys didn't even tell the kids." I said looking at him. There was a knock at the door and I got up to answer. I opened the door and there stood Mike. He just stared at me then started laughing.
"Okay this means war!" I yelled going back upstairs. Once in my room I changed into my swimsuit, grabbed a towel to wrap around me, and my I-pod. I walked back downstairs and picked up my book off the table then went outside to the pool. I sat down in one of those pool chairs and turned on my I-pod. I had just started to relax when I felt a splash of water hit me. I looked up and saw Frankito in the pool smiling.
"Frankito! I'm gonna hurt you!" I yelled getting up from my chair.
"No your not!! Your not fast enough to catch me!" He yelled.
"You wanna bet?" I said getting into the pool.
"Dad!!!" Frankito yelled as I dunked him under the water.
"Frankito, Sara! Stop." I heard my dad yell. I looked at Frankito and stuck out my tongue.
"Daddy! Sara's being mean," Frankito said as he got out of the pool.
"Dad! I am not he splashed me and now I'm getting revenge." I said. My dad just looked at me and gave me a look that said, 'stop you know your not gonna win.'
"You know what? Payback's a Bitch," I said to Frankito as I got out of the pool. He just looked at me and then at my dad and shrugged. I walked back inside and upstairs despite my mom yelling at me to dry off before I walked on her new carpet. But as usual I ignored her and walked upstairs and changed once again. My cell rang and I answered it.
"You Rang?" I asked the person on the other end.
"Your one crazy chick you know that?" Joey asked me.
"So I've been told. Anyways what's up?" I asked him.
"Nothing did you kinda get covered in goo this morning?" He asked.
"Yup! What about you and Jakob?" I asked.
"Yup! You know this means war," he said.
"Oh yeah definitely," I said laughing.
"So uhh dad said we're having a get together tonight! Are you guys coming?" I said.
"Yeah, we can 'plan' some," he said laughing.
"Joey, we have a problem. I think Frankie's gone over to the 'dark side'," I said
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"This morning I was by the pool and he jumped in and soaked me. I think m dad persuaded him to do it," I said while looking for my flip-flops.
"Uh sucks to be you! 2 of them in the house, I only have to deal with my dad," Joey said.
"Stop bragging! Hey Joey I gotta go. Call me before you guys come over. Okay?" I said to Joey.
"Whatever! I'll see ya tonight. Byeness," he said.
I shut my phone and walked back downstairs.
"Dad! I'm going out for a while okay?" I asked my dad.
"Yeah sure but remember... " he said but I cut him off.
"I know be back by 7 we have that cook out thingy," I said walking out the door. I didn't know where I was going so I just walked. Before I knew it I ended up at Starbuck's. I went inside and ordered a chocolate frappacino. I slowly took a sip and started walking again. I turned around and walked back home because I was getting to be very bored.
"Mom, Dad! I'm back!" I yelled.
"Sara, don't be so loud I just got Frankie to sleep," my mom said walking into the kitchen.
"Whatever...did any one call for me?" I asked.
"Nope!" she said getting a glass of water. I sat down at the table and looked at my phone. It said '1 NEW TXT MSG.--- STELLA.' I called her.
"Stella, hey didja call?" I asked her.
"Yup, I gotta ask ya something," she said. I heard her shut her door and then switch ears with the phone.
"Shoot!" I said walking up the stairs and into my room.
"Well Dad found my journal and found out about my 'love' for Billie Joe. Do you think he'll tell him?" She asked me sounding really worried.
"I doubt it Stella. I mean its Mike." I said while flipping through my new magazine.
"What am I gonna do I have to see him tonight?" She said.
"I dunno just act normal and if you dad brings it up then you can start to freak." I told her.
"Hey Sara thanks but I gotta go. I'll see ya tonight. Bye." She said.
"Bye." I said and then hung up. I was still looking through the magazine when I came across an article that made my jaw drop. It read, 'Green Day's Kids Dating?' and it was a picture of Joey and me getting coffee. I read the article which said, 'Joey Armstrong and Sara Cool (Wright) were spotted the other day on a date. This is not yet confirmed but there may be a 'thing' going on between Joey and Sara. Do their fathers know if there is something? Sara is said to be single along with Joey. We can't get anyone to answer any questions but we are pretty positive there is a thing going on.'
I got up and ran down the stairs.
"Dad, look at this!" I yelled as I ran into the kitchen. My dad looked at then looked at me.
"What the fuck dad this is important. These bastards don't know anything!" I yelled sitting down.
"Sara chill. It's just a rumor." My mom said coming over and sitting down.
"Chill? How am I going to chill when this fucking magazine says I'm dating one of my best friends?" I yell standing up.
"Sara 1) it's just a preppy, teenie magazine, and 2) stop using language." My dad said taking the magazine and throwing it away. I stood up and went up to my room. I called Joey.
"Hello?" I heard Adie ask.
"Hey is Joey there?" I asked.
"Yeah hang on." I heard her taking the phone up to Joey.
"Yeah?" I heard Joey say.
"Joey did you see the new People magazine? They think were dating." I said.
"What?" He said.
"Yeah go ask your mom if she has it then turn to page 28." I said, I heard Joey get up and go downstairs.
"Fucking bastards," I heard him yell.
"Hey I'll call ya back or something." He said then hung up. I closed my phone and got out my I-pod and turned it on. I was lying on my bed reading Guitar World and just relaxing when Ramona came in.
"Hey Sara can I talk to you?" She asked me as she came over and sat down.
"Yeah what's wrong?" I asked her taking my ear buds out, and sitting up.
"I have two problems." She said playing with the string on my bedspread.
"Shoot." I said looking at her.
"Okay well I'm kinda having some 'girl' problems." She said. I knew exactly what she was talking about.
"Let me guess 'it' happened?" I asked her.
"Yeah but I don't have anymore you knows and I don't wanna go to mom." She said.
"So you want me to take you to the store to get you some right?" I asked.
"Yeah if that's okay with you." She said becoming embarrassed.
"Yeah it' fine we don't have to walk I'll drive us okay, go get on your shoes." I said. Once we got downstairs I asked dad for the keys and we left.
"So you said you have 2 problems. What is the other one?" I asked her while backing up.
"Oh I don't know just forget it," she said putting a CD into the CD player. We pulled into the Wal-mart parking lot and got out. Oh I hope some one doesn't hit dad's BMW. I thought to myself. We got what Ramona needed then left. On our way home I stopped at Dairy Queen and bought us each a Moolatte. When we got home I went out back and saw dad trying to fix the grill.
"Sara... I'm confused help." He said. I just looked at him then remember I had a little prank for him. I walked back inside got the baby powders out of the bag and walked into the bathroom. I got out dad's hairdryer and poured baby powder in it. I knew he was going to take a shower soon.
"Sara!!! I'm going to kill you!" I heard my dad yell when he turned on the hair dryer. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath. I got out my phone and got to the camera and snapped a shot just as my dad was walking out of the bathroom looking like a ghost.
"Loser I'm gonna send this to everyone!" I yelled running into my room.
Later
"Frankito if you don't stop I'm going to push your little behind in that pool," I said. Frankito kept on pulling at my hair from behind, so I got up out of my chair picked him up and threw him in the pool. I looked over and saw Ramona, Stella, and Jakob talking and waved at them and then went back to my seat.
"That was harsh." Joey said when I sat back down.
"No it wasn't. He needs to learn to be not so annoying." I said taking a drink. We were sitting there relaxing when the grill caught on fire because my dad wasn't watching it.
"Tre, you're such a dumbass!" I heard my mom yell.
"I'm sorry Lisea. I can't wait till you go back to New York," My dad said. See my mom lived in New York but I don't go back with her, sometimes Ramona does. Yeah I know I have one screwed up family.
"Yeah well neither can I," she said then stormed off into the kitchen.
After the get together everyone went home and mom and dad really go into.
"You're the reason she goes out almost every single fucking weekend and gets hammered!" I heard my mom yell. I was in my room so most of it was muffled.
"Oh me... you just love blaming it all on me. I mean it's not like she's your daughter too," my dad yelled. I then heard a plate break and a slap. I walked to the top of the stairs to see my dad with a red handprint on his cheek. I knew not to butt in so I went back into my room and just sat there.
"That's it Lisea out! I want you out!" My dad yelled. Then I heard the front door slam. I slowly walked out then walked down the stairs.
"Dad, she's a bitch! She doesn't know anything." I said trying to make him feel better. All he did was go into the living room and sit down on the couch. I followed and sat down beside of him.
"Am I really that bad of a dad?" he asked me.
"Dad you're awesome...mom's a freakin nut case," I said giving him a hug. He returned it then looked at me and smiled. It was around 12 and we still hadn't moved from the couch. I sat there watching TV when I flipped to FUSE and Loaded: Green Day came on. Dad instantly took the remote and turned.
"Hey I was watching that." I say laughing and trying to get the remote back.
"Yeah but see, I don't like that so deal," he said changing to some crazy Spanish soap.
"Dad what in the world we aren't going to watch this are we?" I said looking at him as if he was crazy.
"Yup see I think I know what's going on and I don't even speak Spanish," he said.
"Yeah see that's why it's called a Spanish soap...it's not meant for people like us," I said laughing.
"Well see Roberto and Rosa are having a love triangle," he said looking at me. I started laughing and tried to get the remote. I found my drumstick under the coffee table and picked it up.
"Wait that's a weapon you can't use it!" he whined.
"How much you wanna bet!" I said lightly hitting him on the head. He took one of the drumsticks and hit me back.
"Hey dad THE GAMES started about a15 minutes," I said grabbing the drumstick and running upstairs.
"Sara that's not cool... you distracted me!" I heard him yell.
"Shhhhh your gonna wake up Frankie and Ramona." I said stopping in the hallway. He looked at me and walked back into the living room.
"Hey, where's your dad?" I heard Mike ask on the other end. Yup my dad is Tre Cool-well actually Frank Edwin Wright III- if you want to be specific.
"Hang on," I said walking over and giving the phone to my dad. I heard him talking and I looked at the table. Oh and just to clear this up Frankito is my half-brother but I consider him a real brother. I looked over at Ramona-she was my real sister-and asked her to pass me the cereal.
