Chapter Two

That afternoon we went to Nicole's house for lunch."So what are we going to eat for lunch Nicole?"

"We are going to have chicken and fried rice.Is that ok?"

"Yea it's fine."Paige and I said after getting,Star,Nicole's cat off the kitchen counter.

When Nicole's mom finished warming up our lunch we sat down at the kitchen table."So guys what's in the bag?"I asked when i finished my lunch.

"Well Paige and i were going to show you but we decided not to."Nicole said.

"Because it might upset you."Paige put in.We all started to argue.

After about twenty-five minutes we stopped and sat down.

"Sorry we just can't tell you right now Karin."Paige said.

"I know.I'm sorry i got all mad.I just want to know so bad."

"We understand.It's like when it's almost your birthday and you wanna know what you got so badly."

"Alright thanks.I'll try to stop begging you guys."I start to pet Star.

"Thank you ."

"No problem."I said and we all sat there quietly, but we didn't know why.

Fifteen minutes later me and Paige got up.

"Nicole we need to go."

"Yea sorry Nicole I have a party to go to."

"Ok Karin."

"Hey wait a second.Is it Carly Higgen's party?

"Yea.Why?"

"Because we were invited as well."

"Oh then you guys can get ready and meet we there."I said.

"Ok Karin.We'll meet you there."They said at the same time.

An hour later I walked home with Paige.

"So Paige waht are you going to wear?"

"I can't tell you that."

"Why?"

"I want it to be a surprise."

"Oh fine"I wanted to so badly stick my tongue out at her like a first grader.

We walked the rest of the way back to our houses in silence.I walked into my house and before I knew it i was on the floor picking up the knives my mother dropped on the ground.I didn't look where I placed my hand and one of the sharp knives stabbed part way into my thumb.

"Ow!"I screamed as I took the knife out of my thumb.I watched the blood ooze out.

My mom ran into the room a few minutes after i screamed."Honey,are you ok?"She asked.I show her my finger.

"What do you think?"I looked at her.She walks over and takes a look at my finger.

"That knife was drivin kinda deep. And I thought you said you liked that kind of stuff."

"Well i do and I don't.Its not like I've actually cut myself before."I keep watching the blood come out of my finger.A bit of enthusiasm in my eyes.

"I'll go get something for it.Here-"She wraped a kitchen towl around my finger."that should stop the blood mostly."She ran into the bathroom and graped the miniture First-Aid kit.

"Ow."I said a bit loudly."That hurts and you need to hurry I have a party to go to."

"I know,I know.Just stop complaining."We sat there for about ten mintutes.

"There it's finshed."

"Thanks Mom."

"Your welcome"

"I'm just lucky your a nurse"I said.

"Yea you are"She said enthusiasticly.

"Well i got to go get ready and then head out.I have to meet Nicole and Paige,but I should call and tell them I'm gonna be a bit late."

"Good idea."My Mom went back to cleaning the rest of the knives up so I wouldn't get hurt again.

"Just make sure you don't get hurt becuase I don't know how to fix it."I laughed.

"I know.I won't get hurt."

"Ok."And with that I ran up the stairs as fast as my legs would carry me.
