Chapter 1..Phone Calls

"Alright Charity, Sweetie, Just tell your mama I called and Ill see you next week!"

"I will Aunt Diana, Tell everyone I said Hi!" Charity said as she hung up the phone.
She wrote down the message for hier mom to call back her sister about their trip to Tulsa next week.
   Charity was an ordinary golden blond dyed hair, light blue eyed girl from Sedalia Missouri.
  Every month or so, they would drive down to Tulsa Oklahoma to visit her mom's sisters family.
Charity Loved the visits, her cousins were really cool. They always had a great time. She was aged perfectly too, right beween the 2 oldest of 6 soon to be 7., even though the WERE boys., But they were like her best friends, she didnt worry about acting stupid around them because they didnt care.
  Lately though, it had been tough visiting them as often as usual., With their traveling and all, it was hard catching them at home.
 But they all still called and talked every two weeks. 
   Just then, Charity heard her mom pull up in the driveway.
  "Nows the time to see if we can take MY car to Tulsa this time!" she thought to herself. She was so glad she finally had her car, it wasnt the greatest in the world but it was a car, and it was a convertable.

"hey howd your day go? Did you get any lessons done while I was gone?"
her mom greeted as soon as she walked in the door.
 Charity rolled her eyes, "No I was busy"
"Doing what?"
"Watching Tv" she said trying to keep a straight face as though tv was a very important task.

*authers note: Charity is homeschooled*

"yeah, well you had better get one done before you go anywhere else"
her mom replied happily, not letting anything get in her way of her good mood.
"oh, well, I wasnt planning on going anywhere so I guess I dont have to do it for a while!"
she laughed, "Oh yeah, and Diana called, Your supposed to call her back I think...hey mom?' Charity asked her mom, "Can me and you follow dad and Andy in my car this time?"
she held her breath expecting her to say no...her mom hated driving on highways.
"well, I dont know, but if we do, I am driving"
"Awe man, you take the fun outta everything" Charity whinned
"I try" her mom said grinning

      Charity went back downstairs to her room and put in a cd....she glanced over at the videos she had lined up in the video case, "hey I havent watched the home videos in a long time, I think Ill do that!"
so she stopped her cd, and stuck in a video entitled, "Easter 88"
She laughed through out the whole thing, especially when Tay ran into the glass door.She fell asleep watching "Christmas 95" the last part of the video she remembered was her and all her cousins standing in front of the parents singing their version of "on the 12th day of Christmas"
     Charity woke up at about 11 oclock the next morning and decided she would get a little school work in, just to make her mom happy. She Hated having Holly in public school, it was so boring in the daytime, there wasnt anyone to talk to.
 Suddenly the phone rang as though it had read her mind.
"hello?"
"hey Char, hows it going?" she heard from the other end of the line
"oh, hi Taylor, what are you doing?"
"oh, nothing much, I was bored and so my mom said we could all call and talk to you."
"oh, Im glad you called, I was soo bored too, and this history is really making me mad!"
"what # is it, maybe I can help?" he offered
"tay, youre in a different book than me, but Isaac has the same one as me, is he around?" she asked
"yeah, hold on a sec.."
"Hey Char Char!" (dont ask....its a nick name I really have, its not even pronounced the same as my name...)
"hey Ike, Im feeling really stupid right about now!"
"well, thats normal, you ARE stupid!" He teased. They had made it an ongoing joke to put eachother down.
""haha, very funny" she said sarcastically.
"well, what # is it? Maybe the great and powerful can help?"
They continued their conversation on homework and then said goodbye.
"hold on, Zac wants to talk, sorry"
charity laughed as Ike Handed Zac the phone.
"hey Chair! Are you a wooden chair or a lazy boy?"
he laughed.
"the only lazy boy around here is you!" she said back at him.
"who me? lazy?" 
then he yells something to someone inside his house, 'hey mackie, can you change the channel? NO I dont wanna reach over there and get the controller..."now, what were we talking about?"he giggled
"Zac?"charity asked
"what?" he asked back
"you are on strange child you know that?"
"WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THAT?!" he shouted in a silly voice.
Charity laughed and told him to put one of the girls on the phone so they could talk. After everyone had a chance to talk, she hung up.
She went outside to check the mail.
"hey cool I  got another magazine.."she said to no one.
she turned it over to the front and starring back at her were Isaac Taylor and Zac....AGAIN
