"ERIKA!"CRIED ANGELA ELAN TO HER DAUGHTER ERIKA. THIS WAS THE THIRD AND LAST DAY SHE HAD SLEPT IN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER SHE HAD SLEPT IN TILL 2:00PM. AND QUITE FRANKLY ANGELA WAS FED UP WITH IT!
"ERIKA! I SAID GET UP RIGHT NOW!"HER MOTHER YELLED IN DISGUST.
"YA YA I'M I'M UP MUM!"ERIKA YELLED TO HER 33 YEAR OLD MOTHER.
"YOUR STILL YOUNG!"SHE YELLED AGAIN,"YOU SHOULD BE SLEEPING IN!"
"WELL DEAR,YOUR 13 AND YOU HAD YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP SO GET UP!"ANGELA YELLED ONCE AGAIN.
AT THAT TONE OF VOICE ERIKA GOT UP AT ONCE.
IT WAS ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT TILL SCHOOL STARTED AND THIS SATURDAY WAS
THE LAST CHANCE THAT ERIKA COULD GET BACK TO SCHOOL CLOTHES.
ERIKA STOOD UP IN HER DAYBED. SHE RAISED HER ARMS HIGH IN THE AIR AND YAWNED. THEN SHE GOT OUT OF BED AND SHE GOT DRESSED. SHE PUT HER NAVY LE CHATEAU SHIRT ON WITH HER CALVIN KLEIN JEANS. THEN SHE PUT HER GREY AIRWALK SHOES ON AND RAN DOWN STAIRS.
HER FATHER TWO BOTHERS AND YOUNG SISTER HAD BEEN UP SINCE 6:30AM. SHE RAN INTO THE KITCHEN,GRABBED A DOUNUT THEN RAN OUT THE DOOR.
SHE GOT INTO THE FAMILY VAN THEN WAITED FOR HER MOTHER TO COME.
SHE BEEPED THE HORN THREE TIMES BEFORE HER MOTHER CAME.
SHE WAS CARRIING HER LITTLE SISTER CARRY WHEN HER MOTHER CAME.
"MOM!"ERIKA YELLED,"DOES SHE HAVE TO COME?".
"YES DEAR I BOUGHT HER STROLLER AND STUFF SO SHE WILL KEEP QUIET SO DON'T YOU WORRY".
"WHY CAN'T SHE STAY WITH DAD?"ERIKA ASKED."BECAUSE HE HAS TO WORK TODAY"HER 4 MOTHER RESPONDED."THEN WHAT ABOUT TOM?"ERIKA ASKED.
"HE'S GOING TO HIS FRIEND KEVIN'S HOUSE".HER MOTHER SAID. "THEN HOW ABOUT RANDY?"SHE ASKED HOPEFULLY. "NO HE'S AT ANDREA'S HOUSE TODAY"HER MOTHER FINIFSHED. "OH ALRIGHT BRING HER AND LET'S GO!".
THE DRIVE TO WEST EDMONTON MALL WAS LONG AND TIERING AND REALLY INSTEAD OF SHOPPING,ERIKA WANTED TO GO HOME.
HER SISTER WAS BEING A BRAT AND HER MOTHER WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY.....

WHEN THE SHOPPING WAS DONE ERIKA ENDED UP WITH THREE PAIRS OF JEANS 7 T-SHIRTS A SWEATER LEGGINGS CK PERFUM A PRUSE HIP HUGGER DRESSES AND A AFGAN SHIRT.
SHE WENT TO BED AT 8:30PM BECAUSE SHE WAS SO TIERED AND WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY AT 7:00AM.
SHE CALLED HER BEST FRIEND MONICA AND THEY ARRANGED A SLEEPOVER THAT NIGHT. FOR THE DAY HER AND HER OTHER BEST FRIEND FEBBEE DECIDED TO GO TO IKEA AND LOOK AROUD.

WHEN THE NIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL ARRIVED MONICA AND ERIKA HAD ANOTHER SLEEPOVER SO THEY COULD GO TO SCHOOL TOGETHER.
IN THE MORNING MONICA WOKE ERIKA UP AT 8:00AM AND THEY WALKED TO THERE SCHOOL.
ERIKA WASN'T LOOKING FORWARD TO SCHOOL. SHE THOUGHT OF THE HOMWORK THEY WHOULD HAVE AND THE TELEVISION SHOWS SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WATCH AND THE SLEEPING IN SHE WHOULD HAVE TO SKIP.
WHEN THEY GOT TO THIER CALSSES,ERIKA FOUND OUT THAT HER AND MONICA WERE IN THE SAME CLASS. BUT SHE ALSO REALIZED THAT FEBBEE WASN'T.
"OH FEBB'S HOW WILL WE EVER GET ALONG ALONE?"ERIKA ASKED.
"I DON'T KNOW BUT I THINK I WILL CHANGE CLASSES BECAUSE THE ONLY PERSON I KNOW IN MY CLASS IS THAT NEW GIRL FROM LAST YEAR SYLVIA AND I JUST HATE HER, ANYWAY I'LL TALK TO THE PRINCIPAL MRS. JACOBS ABOUT IT AFTER SCHOOL,WILL YOU AND MONICA WAIT FOR ME?"
"SURE","WE ARE GOING TO THE BURGER BARREN AFTER SCHOOL AND MAYBE GERRY'S MALT STOP DO YOU WAN'T TO COME?"
"YAH BUT THERE'S THE BELL SO I HAVE TO GO OKAY?BYE!".

"OH MONICA I FEEL SO BAD FOR FEBBEE SHE REALLY HAS IT ROUGH!I MEAN WHO WHOULD OF DONE THAT TO AN HONOR STUDENT?" ERIKA ASKED MONICA AS THEY WAITED FOR THE TEACHER IN THIER CLASS TO COME.
WHEN THE TEACHER ENTERED THE ROOM HER EYES WERE FULL OF TEARS AND SHE SAID,"CLASS SCHOOL IS CANCELLED FOR TODAY SO EVERYONE CAN LEAVE THIER THINGS IN THE CLASS AND GO BACK HOME".
MONICA RAISED HER HAND JUST BEFORE THE WHOLE CLASS LEFT,"MRS. IS THE WHOLE SCHOOL OUT OF CLASSES?".
"NO"THE TEACHER SAID,"JUST YOURS".
MONICA AND ERIKA LEFT AND FELT BAD FOR FEBBEE BUT THE TEACHER WAS FORCING THEM TO LEAVE.
"LEAVE RIGHT NOW AND GO HOME FOR THE DAY" SHE SAID IN A JAGGED OFF THE WALL SOUNDING VOICE,"SCHOOL MIGHT EVEN BE CANCELLED TOMMOROW,WHO KNOWS!"
"OH MONICA!"ERIKA YELLED,"I WONDER WHY SCHOOL IS CANCELLED!".
"WELL,LET'S GO TO THE OFFICE AND FIND OUT,MRS. JACOBS WILL TELL US"MONICA SAID.
WHEN MONICA AND ERIKA GOT TO THE OFFICE THE TEACHERS WERE HAVING A MEETING SO THE ONLY PERSON TO TELL THEM WAS THE VICE PRINCIPAL,MR. EVANS.
"HEY!" ERIKA YELLED TO HIM,"WHAT A SECOND!".
THE TEACHER WAS JUST ABOUT TO LOCK HIS OFFICE DOOR WHEN THE GIRLS ENTERED.
"MR.EVANS"MONICA SAID,"YOUR THE ONLY TEACHER HERE SO WE'LL ASK YOU".
"YES" CONTINUED ERIKA,"WE NEED TO KNOW WHY CLASS WAS CANCELLED TODAY".
MR.EVANS ROSE HIS HANDS AND STOOD UP FROM HIS CHAIR TO FACE THE GRILS,"I'M REALLY SORRY GIRLS BUT I'M AFRAID IT'S MUCH TOO PRIVATE"HE SAID AS HE LEFT THE ROOM.
"TOO PRIVATE MONICA?"ERIKA SAID,"WOW THIS IS BIG".
"LET'S GO TO MY HOUSE ERIKA,WE CAN ASK MY MOM MAYBE SHE KNOWS".
"WELL I HAVE TO CALL MY MOM SO JUST A SECOND".
ERIKA PHONED HER MOM AND HER MOM SAID IT WAS OKAY THAT SHE WENT TO MONICA'S AND SHE TOO WONDERED WHY CLASSES WERE CANCELLED.
AS MONICA AND ERIKA WERE WALKING TO MONICA'S HOUSE THEY SAW A GRIL FROM THIER CLASS NAMED SUSAN WHO WAS RUNNING UP TO THEM.
"HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT!"SHE YELLED,"SCHOOL IS CANCELLED TOMMOROW TOO!".
"WHY IS SCHOOL CANCELLED SUSAN?"ERIKA ASKED.
"WAIT,LET'S TALK ABOUT IT AT MY HOUSE,COMMON SUSAN" MONICA SAID.
THE GIRLS PASSED MANY PEOPLE FROM THEIR CLASS AND THEY ALL WERE HAVING FUN.
WHEN THEY GOT TO MONICA'S HOUSE HER MOM DIDN'T KNOW A THING.
SO,WHEN THEY WENT TO MONICA'S ROOM MONICA SAID,"OKAY SUSAN SPILL IT".
"WELL"SUSAN SAID,"MRS. MARTON OUR TEACHER HAD A LITTLE BOY NAMED SCOTT AND MRS. KATE THE GRADE NINE TEACHER HAD A LITTLE GIRL NAMED SARA. THEY WERE BOTH PLAYING TOGETHER BUT THEN THEY GOT KIDNAPPED JUST THIS MORNING!BUT YOU SEE 6 OF OUR OTHER TEACHERS KNEW THEM VERY WELL AND THEY ARE CATHOLAC FAMILY'S SO THE FUNERAL IF THEY ARE NOT FOUND WILL LAST 1 MONTH. IT'S REALLY ACTUALLY SAD BECAUSE SHE WAS HOPING TO BE PREGNANT AND WHEN SHE FINALLY WAS THEN HE BABY GET'S STOLEN I THINK IT'S REALLY BAD".
"WELL"ERIKA ASKED,"DO YOU KNOW WHO DID IT,WHO STOLE THE BABY'S?".
"OH YEAH,EVERYONE DOES IT WAS CAROLINE AND HER BOTFRIEND CHAD. THEY ARE GUILTY BUT THEY SAID EVEN IF THEY PUT ON THE DEATH PENALTY THEY WON'T TALK. CAROLINE SAID THAT SHE AND CHAD HATED MRS.MARTON SO THEY PUNISHED HER."
"BUT WHY I MEAN HOW COULD THEY HATE HER SO MUCH,SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING" ERIKA SAID.
"OH NO DIDN'T YOU HEAR ABOUT THE TEST THEY FAILED? THEY BOTH STUDYED REALLY HARD AND WHEN THE TEST WAS DONE,THEY BOTH FAILED. EVERYONE ELSE IN THE CLASS PASSED BUT THEY DIDN'T SO THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY WERE GOING TO KILL HER SON ANY TIME IN THE SUMMER. THEY TRIED TO BUT THEY WERE NEVER CAUGHT SO ALL SUMMER THE TEACHER HAD BODY GUARDS.".
JUST THEN A LIGHT KNOCK ON THE DOOR GOT THEIR ATTENTION STRUCK.
"WHO'S THERE?"ASKED MONICA.
"MONICA,PLEASE COME TO THE DOOR"HER MOTHER SAID.
"MONICA,THE PRINCIPAL JUST CALLED TO SAY THAT CLASSES WILL RESUME FOR YOUR CLASS IN THREE DAYS OKAY?".
"SURE MOM"MONICA SAID.
"AND MONICA"HER MOM CONTINUED "THE CLEANING MAID IS COMMING TODAY,SO I NEED YOU GIRLS OUT OF THE HOUSE BY 12PM OKAY?".
"SURE"MONICA SAID.
"I'M GOING TO PICK UP GIGI NOW MONICA THEN I'M GOING TO GROCERY SHOP OKAY?"HER MOM CONTINUED THEN LEFT.
"SURE MOM".
GIGI IS MONICA'S ADOPTED SISTER. THEY GOT HER THREE YEARS AGO THROE AFRICAN AMERICAN CANADA. GIGI ALMOST DIED AND WHEN MONICA'S MOM SAW HER IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN SHE WAS BORN,SHE KNEW IT WAS TIME TO SIGN THE PAPERS. GIGI WASN'T SUPPOSED TO LIVE BUT MONICA'S DAD (CA FOR SHORT) WORKES IN THE HOSPITAL AS A DOCTER SO HE SAW THE BABY AND CALLED HIS WIFE THERE. WHEN JANICE MORGAN TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE BABY,SHE KNEW SHE WANTED IT. BUT STILL JANICE HAD 3 OTHER KIDS SO SHE SENDS GIGI TO A NURSERY DAYCARE FROM 9-12 EVERY MORNING.
MONICA WAITED FOR SUSAN TO LEAVE AND WHEN SHE DID SHE SAID TO ERIKA "LET'S GO SEE A MOVIE".
"OKAY"SAID ERIKA.
"LET'S SEE GANGWEIGHT"CA SAID.
"OKAY,THAT SOUNDS GOOD" (ERIKA,ERIN FOR SHORT OR ER (AIR))SAID.
"LET'S INVITE SOME OTHER PEOPLE TOO"MONICA SAID.
"LIKE WHO?"
"LIKE BETTY AND CAMROSE AND LILLY,KAREN,WHITNEY AND BEN AND PETER"
"YOU WAN'T TO INVITE BOYS?"
"YAH,WE ARE IN THE 8TH GRADE ERIN"
"SO,WHY CAN'T JUST YOU AND ME GO?"
"BECAUSE,I WILL LOOSE MY REP"
"WHAT REP?"
"THE ONE THAT SAYS I'M A MATCH MAKER"
"NOWAY,YOU ARE NOT"
"AM SO,I KNOW WHO YOU LIKE AND YOU NEVER EVEN TOLD ME"
"YAH RIGHT,WHO?"
"JORDEN CATALANO"
"HOW DID YOU KNOW,LUCKY GUESS I BET"
"YOU TOLD ME IN YOUR SLEEP"
"I WHAT?"
"YOU TOLD ME IN YOUR SLEEP LAST TIME YOU WERE OVER FOR A SLEEPOVER I MADE YOU SLEEP TALK"
"WELL SO WHAT IF I HAVE A LITTLE CRUSH ON HIM"
"OH YAH HE'S REALLY CUTE"
"HEY,DON'T GO STEALING HIM!"
"WELL,HE'S SO LONELY AND I THINK I'LL ASK HIM TO THE MOVIES RIGHT NOW"
"CA,YOU WHOULDN'T DARE!"
"OH REALLY"
MONICA DIALED 7 NUMBERS THEN LOOKED AT ERIKA. ERIKA WAS REALLY ANGRY AND SHE NEVER MADE EYE CONTACT.
"HI IS JORDEN THERE?,YAH OKAY,UN HUN YAH IT'S ERIKA,OKAY YAH...CAN YOU....OKAY....YAH....THAT WHOULD BE GOOD.....OKAY....ASK HIM TO MEET ME AT THE MOVIES...THANKS,...YAH...BYE".
"MONICA! YOU ARE SO MEAN!".
"COMMON ERIKA IT WON'T BE SO BAD,YOUR FIRST DATE SOUNDS SO GREAT"
"LET'S GO"ERIKA YELLED HER VOICE A LITTLE COLD.
THE TWO GIRLS WALKED ALL THE WAY TO THE MOVIES CALLED ,"CHEAP JACKS MOVIES" WERE EVERTONE CALLED IT "JACKS" AND EVERTONE IN THAT TOWN HAS BEEN THERE MANY TIMES.
WHEN THEY GOT THERE ERIKA WAS WEARING HER FAVORITE SHIRT,A DRESS AND REALLY HIGH HEALED SHOES. CA WAS WEARING A DRESS AND SOME FLIP FLOPS.
THEY COULD SEE JORDEN CATALANO THE HOTEST GUY IN SCHOOL STANDING AND WAITING. HIS BROWN HAIR WAS COMBED BACK AND HE WAS WEARING JEANS AND A T-SHIRT.
WHEN HE SPOTTED THEM HE SHOUTED "YO ERIN" AND RAN OVER.
"HI" ERIN SAID.
SHE TURNED TO FACE MONICA BUT NOTICED SHE WAS GONE.
"DID YOU SEE WHERE CA WENT?"SHE ASKED.
"YAH IN THAT MOVIE,COMMON,LET'S GO".
WHEN THEY GOT TO THE MOVIE,MONICA WENT TO A DIFFERENT SHOW.
AFTER THE MOVIE WAS DONE SHE WENT TO MEET MONICA BUT THERE WAS A NOTE FROM THE TELLER FROM CA SAYING SHE WENT HOME AND DON'T STAY OUT TOO LATE.
"SO,ERIN,YOU WANNA GO FOR A WALK IN THE PARK OR SOMETHIN?"JORDEN SAID.
"OKAY"SHE SAID.
THE WALK WAS SHORT.
"BYE"HE SAID.
"YAH,BYE" SHE SAID.

THE NEXT MORNING ERIKA GOT UP EARLY AND CALLED CA. SHE SAID THAT THEY WALKED IN THE PARK.
MONICA WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THAT AND SHE SAID THAT HER AND BRIAN CATOIND HAD HOOKED UP.
"SO DO YOU WAN'T TO BABYSIT MY BROTHERS TONIGHT ERIN? MY MOM PAYS GOOD"
"WELL,YAH BUT WHY CAN'T YOU"
"BECAUSE I AM WITH BRIAN"
"SO I'M WITH JORDEN"
"FINE IF YOU WON'T SUSAN WILL"
"NO I WILL,I COULD USE THE EXTRA CASH"
"OKAY 5 TO 10:30 TONIGHT".
"ALRIGHT,SEE YA"
"YA".
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH CA ALL OF A SUDDEN. SHE DIDN'T SOUND LIKE SHE WANTED TO PLAY BARBIES THEN NOT TELL ANYONE LIKE THAY USED TOO OR EVEN DO EACH OTHERS HAIR. NO,CA WAS GROWING UP AND ERIKA HATED IT. SHE DIDN'T WAN'T TO GROW UP. SHE STILL LIKES PLAYING BARBIES THEN NOT TELLING ANYONE LIKE HER AND CA USED TO DO.
SHE DIDN'T LIKE JORDEN ALL OF A SUDDEN. AND SHE DIDN'T WAN'T TO BABYSIT.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING? WAS SHE A THREE YEAR OLD IN A 13 YEAR OLD'S BODY?.....

WHEN SHE GOT TO CA'S HOUSE THAT NIGHT CA WAS WEARING A REALLY SHORT DRESS AND HEELS.
AS CA WAS PUTTING ON MAKE UP ERIKA SUGGESTED,"HEY WANNA PLAY TAG IN YOUR BASEMENT?"
"OH BOT ERIKA THAT IS FOR BABY'S".
"SO DO YOU WAN'T TO BRUSH EACH OTHERS HAIR?"
"NO WAY,WE ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DO IT BY OURSELVES,REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE A GUY NOW".
"NO,WE ARE BREAKING UP"
"BUT IT WASN'T EVEN TWO DAYS"
"YEAH BUT I DON'T WAN'T TO HAVE A GUY"
"YOUR CHICKEN"
"NO,I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND,I THINK"
"COMMON ERIKA,HE'S THE HOTTEST GUY AROUND. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?".
WHAT KIND OF FRIEND WAS MONICA TRYING TO BE. TOTALLY UN POSITIVE.]
AS MONICA MET BRIAN THAT NIGHT THEY ISSED AND HER MOTHER WAS WATCHING.
"MONICA?"SHE SAID,"I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING OUT WITH SUSAN!"HER MOTHER SOUNDED ANGRY AND DISTROT.

"SO" HE SAID,"I GUESS I CAN GO HOME NOW EUH?".
"YAH I GUESS SO" I SAID.
"OR DO YOU WAN'T TO COME INSTEAD OF MONICA?".
"NO THANKS,I'M TOO MUCH OF A BABY".
ERIKA LEFT THE HOUSE FEELING STUPID. SHE HAD THOUGHT THAT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST CAME OUT. JUST LIKE THAT.

ERIKA HUNG UP FEELING VERY SORRY FOR HERSELF.
THAT EVENING WHEN ERIKA FINALLY CAME OUT OF HER ROOM TO EAT,HER MOTHER AND FATHER WERE ARGUING.

THEY ARGUED ABOUT IT FOR SO LONG,ERIKA GREW VERY HUNGRY.
SHE SAT AND WAITED TILL 9:30 WHEN SHE ANNOUNCED,"I AM SO SICK AND TIERD OF HEARING YOU PEOPLE ARGUE,I AM GOING TO BED!"
"BUT WAIT ERIKA!"HER MOTHER SAID.

ERIKA'S FATHER WAS A BUSINESS MAN. HE WAS KIND AND SWEET BUT REALLY SPORTSIE. IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE THE SOCCER TEAM AT SCHOOL,IT HAD TO BE THE BASKETBALL TEAM. IF YOU DIDN'T TRY OUT,YOU WERE GROUNDED AS ACT OF NO RESPECT.
ERIKA'S MOTHER WAS A SHY SMALL LADY. SHE HAD LONG BROWN HAIR AND A SHORT BUT SWEET SMILE. SHE WAS A RESPONSABLE PARENT,BUT NOT OVER PROTECTIVE.

"REALISTICLY,THESE PAST MONTHS HAVE BEEN HELL,YOU'RE NOT THE MAN I FELL IN LOVE WITH SO MAYBE A SEPERATION WHOULD,GET US...."ANGELA RAN TO HER ROOM.
ERIKA LOOKED AT HER FATHER WHO WAS CRYING AS WELL. TOM AND RANDY WERE CRYING TOO AND IT MADE ERIKA FEEL VERY SAD.
"I'LL GO TO FEBBEE'S TONIGHT,CAUSE IT'S FRIDAY. I REALLY CAN'T STAY HERE".
SHE LEFT WITHOUT ANY CLOTHES,HOPPING FEBBEE WHOULD LEND HER SOME. AS SHE WALKED THERE SHE THOUGHT OF LIFE WITH SEPERATED PARENTS. YUCK.
