Believe me Chapter #2

Chapter 2

“Well , Venus ,” Delores began,” Your about 14 aren’t you?”

“Yeah, I guess,” Venus replied.

“I have a 14 year old daughter upstairs, Why don’t you go up and hang out while your mother and I talk?”

“If I have to. “ Venus replied as she pounded up the hard wood stairs. She passed by Rodney’s old bedroom and took a peak inside. His old black walls had been painted over with lime green. It was not the way she had remembered at all.

“EXUSE ME WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?” A very preppy voice behind her asked. Venus turned to see a blonde haired, blue eyed girl with a baby blue ribbon in her hair and a baby blue cheerleader uniform. Clearly her and Venus would not get along.

“My names Venus, your mom sent me up here to ..” Venus paused, why would she want to hang out with this girl anyway. “Apparently hang out with you?” Venus shuddered at the thought of herself drinking tea and eating little crumpets.

“Oh ….ok well come on in,,” The girl replied. Venus followed her into the room.” My names Vogue by the way. Mom named me after the fashion magazine, have you ever read it?” Venus shook her head “no”.

A car pulled in the drive way. A strange boy stepped out of the car. He had black shaggy hair and a skater tee on. He entered the house. “Who is that?” Venus asked.

“oh that’s my older brother , Devin. He just got off work so now he help unpack the boxes in his room.” Vogue sighed.

Venus followed Vogue down the stairs to the door.” I can get my brother to do anything I want,” Vogue declared. The door began to open as Devin walked in. He flipped his hair out of his eyes and shut the door behind him.

“Devin?” Vogue said in a sweet little voice.

“What?” Devin replied in an annoyed voice.

“Venus and I are going to the mall,”

“So?” He shrugged turning away. Vogue grabbed Devin’s sleeve and began to pull it up.

“So,” She said in a very dictating voice,” If you don’t take us I’ll tell mom the real reason you wear long sleeved shirts” Devin looked worried.

“ Let me tell mom were we’re going,” Devin frown. He looked very sad and angry. “Go wait in the car.” Vogue skipped off to the car. Venus stayed behind and sat on the couch. She couldn’t understand why he let Vogue order him around like that. She heard her mothers voice screaming at Delores. Devin walked back in with Venus’ jacket.

“Here,” He said as he handed it to her. Venus stood their in shock. How could he just walk away from his mother and her mother screaming at each other and just leave. Like he didn’t have a care in the world. She followed him out the door.
