Hi there! I should introduce myself. My name is Anita Rosebloom Harreth. I'm 10, and have a little sister called Sarah.
Helooo world! Welcoming yours truly, Anita Rosebloom. Born with humour and sarcasm, this girl swells and reddens when she's mad. Living in Garden Sphinx Elementary, with a best friend on the hunt for Rick Maston and another who acts like a complete dork, Anita just about has it all. A middle child.
"The one nobody listens to" says her enemy, Flora Heyens. But Anita is having problems too. Braces and bullying are the beginning. But when her brother gets seriously ill and Chloe moves to Florida, Anita knows she just can't cope. Or can she? Read through the funny and sometimes awkward story of Anita Rose.
Chapter One – Hilary!
Hi there! I should introduce myself. My name is Anita Rosebloom Harreth. I'm 10, and have a little sister called Sarah. My school is Garden Sphinx Elementary. I have two besties. Chloe, and Maxine.
Okay, right. I'm going too fast. It's just that I want this story to have all the details!
My school is called Garden Sphinx Elementary because this used to be a royal city. So hey, don't get a big suprise when you see a movie van zooming past. This city is the mother of celebrations. Doesn't depend when. MID week, normal days, Eid, always celebs milling round.
My best friends' full names are Chloe March Green and Maxine Alworth. Chloe's name is kind of strange to you...I can tell.
Whenever someone like Ricky Martin or Lilian Gem comes by, Chloe will lunge at them like an AFL player. That's ALSO partly why she carries a Autograph Book around with her everyday. Her motto is, 'Hey, if the bus don't come to you, then you come to the bus!'
Thats kind of....strange.....
But hey! Best friends ARE strange things.
Hilary, my sausage dog, is probably the most important thing to me. EVER. Forever.
So, you can tell how mad I was when Sarah said she sold it on eBay for twenty bucks.
I kind of swelled and reddened like I usually do when I am mad.
“Heh..” she said sheepishly. “At least you can....have 50% of the....profit....”
I roared at her. Literally. But you gotta love sisters.So I took the $10 and bought myself another sausage dog. I named her Stephanie. She had purple ears and a black body. To make her special, I added a white flower clasp to her ear. Still, I don't feel really happy with Stephanie.
Like they say, “Nowadays don't just sell the sausage. Sell the sizzle, too!”
I feel like I've only been given a sausage. Kind of, because...well, she's a sausage dog. Get it?
Okay, soooo.....^v^
This feels kind of akward...
Anyway, today is Saturday.
That's the day when I have to clean out Kirry and Masha's cage. Kirry and Masha are my hamsters. They're boys. Kirry has grey spots on his orange body. Masha is just plain yellow.
You may be wondering why I called them girl names....It's a looong story. One that I will definetly be willing to tell.
So, it was my tenth birthday. I always have asked for a pet, like a cat or a bunny. But since those things were too big, Dad wanted to buy me a mouse like my brother, Darren. But Mum was worried they would breed. So, they bought me 2 hamsters. Dad and Mum named her Masha for me. They THOUGHT (<- READ THAT) Masha was a girl. So, when they saw Kirry, the estimated that HE was a girl.
Darren said he was with them when they bought it, and Mr Piper said the little boys (<- READ THAT AGAIN) were happy to be bought.
But I guess Kirry and Masha has stuck to them, so we can't change it. Though when they're older, they're gonna need a LOT of counselling.
Anyway, to clear the cage, this is what you need to do:
- Take pet/pets, wheel,
and feeding tools out of cage.
- Throw out the straw
and paper
- Rinse cage thoroughly
- Wipe dry
- Put newspaper into
cage
- Layer some straw on
top
- Refill the food and
water
- Put all equipment in
- Put pets back in and
close the hatch
Usually this takes about half an hour because Kirry and Masha LOVE to run. Then, usually when I feel lazy and leave the cage to dry instead of using newspaper, Sarah and Darren co. rub mud and dirty paper on the wire. AND THEN I have to get mad at them, tell Mum and Dad, clean out the cage again,and it takes about TWO Hours! Which means I'll have missed Amelia's House on TV!
SAD....
Chapter Two - Stuff That Needs To Be Told
“I don't wanna sit back and see you hurt!” Sarah says, looking at her computer. “Cos without you....there ain't no sunlight! Cos without you, there ain't no specialty!”
“Baby!” Mum and Sarah chorus.
“Um, HELLO?” Darren says from the top of the stairs. “Somebo-dy is TRYING to study for graduation tests?”
“Whoopsie,” Mum giggles. “Sorry Darrie!”
There is a problem around here. Darren is in High School and in year twelve. That means it's the Annual Test in two weeks. And also, when Darren is scared he's in a bad mood, I think it's like when a hermit is scared it hides in it's shell. Only Darren's shell is fire, so I have a high risk of getting burnt.
The GOOD news is that he'll soon be shipped off to Dinsturd College or Maxford . Which means, as older sister, I'll get to move to his room, and out of my attic.
I'll move my Hello Kitty posters out and stick them on his wall. But wait, I'll give the room some flower wallpaper first. And then, I'll get to move my LPS collection on his waxed bookshelf.
I daydream for a while.
My mind pictures a princess castle, only not SO princessy. That would danger my tomgirl status.
Mum told me we're going to go to Millford hotel to spend the last week before Darren goes. Millford is this ah-mazing city beside the river. My cousin, Amelia Dashford lives there, but we don't usually stay at her place.
Aunt Holly and Uncle Harred are really nice. So, when it was Mum and Dad's anniversary last year, they gave them two passes for Luxem Hotel. They gave me, Darren and Sarah a babysitter. Her name is Judy. She's actually really cool. So whenever something is on, Mum always calls Jude.
Jude has short blonde hair, that would be best described as sun yellow. She has hoop earrings and a pierced nose. Her favourite jokes are about chimpanzees. Like, 'Hey Sarah, why does the ape have a big nose? Because they like to pick them!'
That kind of put us off our dinner, which was sultanas and apple pie. Although you have to admit, sultanas with bits of mushy apple on them look like booger? Urgh!
Anyway, lets go to bed now. It's 9:00 at night now.
