Chapter 1 - Mace's story

Maces story.











Ok Carla is being made to get a job thanks to Phoenix. Phoenix is 20 years old and has shoulder length red hair with black steaks and orange eyes she is tall but shorter than Roxy.





Carla is looking for a job but no success yet. Carla is 13 and has very long blonde hair and keeps a flower in it and wears purple gloves at all times and her grey eyes sparkle when she talks to me. The next day at school Charlene told us about a vacancy in a florist in summer bay (we live there).











In home economics some girls went up to Carla and called her water freak it just made Charlene see red leave my ice princess alone. She said menacingly or youll pay the price. I just glared at them. Charlene has a way of calling Carla her ice princess. Its kind of boring now. Carla turned our batter in to ice so we called it cookie flavoured ice cream it tasted like cookie flavoured ice cream the teacher came to our desk not again Carla, what did I tell you if you turn one more thing into ice you get a detention. She said Carla just laughed nervously.











After school we ran to the florist we didnt bother waiting for Roxy because she always had to clean the art class after paint wars. Roxy had shoulder length dark brown hair and emerald green eyes; she was a tough nut who all ways defended Carla and treated her like a sister and was three years older than Carla. We got to the florist she held my hand tight you dont have to come in with me if you dont want to come in. she said to me smiling I went in there any way we came into the florist and my eyes went all watery and I sneezed you didnt take your hay fever tablets did you? Carla asked I shook my head she flung her arms around me. Then a middle aged woman came out of the back room she fixed her hazel eyes first on Carla and then on me do you own this fine establishment? asked Carla





Yes dear. The woman replied why?





Im looking for a job. She replied





Ok! she said happily you can have the job. The woman didnt believe in CVs or that stuff.











Heres a little bit on how we came to live in summer bay: I aint livin in Australia with you or Carlas useless boyfriend. She glared at me hugging Carla. Carla was holding her dog so its paws were on her shoulders her dog was called Jerry he hated me whenever I go near him he tries to bite me but I bear with it just for Carla. We took the dogs to the vets so they can have some injections against rabies after that Phoenix asked her dad to get her boat ready so we can bring the car.











Carla and I ran home to the others Carla then jumped in a tree and jumped out of it landing neatly on her feet I was on standby so I could catch her Carla Ill always be here you know. I said smiling at her Carla threw herself into my arms and kissed me I felt her ribs as we hugged but I didnt mind. Carla I bet I can carry you home. I said suddenly





Ok youre on. She said happily. Carrying Carla was as easy as it sounds shes as light as a feather. When we got home Jerry greeted us wagging his tail at Carla and growling at me





Your dog hates me. I said to Carla who was holding Jerry





He doesnt hate you Mace. She said it because youve only been living with us for 6 months so hes not used to you. I felt a little better after Carlas analysis because I have only been living with Carla and the other girls for a month. Then Sneaky came out of the door with the beaded curtain. Sneaky was 18 she is Spanish but cant speak English she has blonde hair as long as Carlas but she keeps a bow in it and deep brown eyes Sneaky had a pet hamster called Speedy and a kitten called Naomi.











We took the dogs for a walk to the park with the other girls (Im the only boy) Carla challenged the girls to a race with the dogs. Sneaky and Roxy worked in the hospital it was kind of hard but Roxy can speak Spanish in fact shes brilliant at it.











I dosed off under a tree in my dream I had I woke up in a hospital there was a woman and a man they both looked about 19 the woman was cradling a bundle in her arms I went over





Hes beautiful isnt he? Said the woman. She looked a bit familiar like I seen her before then it hit me it was Carla next to the bed was a plastic cot it said Rogan Perry Perry was my last name it cant be. I thought. Then I felt something clawing at me I woke up to see Jerry he looked concerned I lifted him off me and stood up. Carla and I walked home I held Jerry and the best thing about him is hes used to me now. Carla walked into the road assuming it was safe then a car going at least 60 miles per hour hit her&
