Chapter 20

Duane
I know I didn't do it, I'm positive. I'm really happy no one is blaming me, but they are blaming Sun.  It's unfair, Sun is a nice person, well, me and her don't talk much to each other. I never get the chance. Back on topic, Sun didn't do it, period.
"Duane, meeting," shouted a voice. Ugh, I hate meetings, they are so boring. I went downstairs. I sat down on the ground.
"Now that we're all here we can start," Dad said.
"I'm going upstairs," said Sun.
"Oh, no you're not," said Dad.
"I have a headache," Sun said.
"From what?" Dad asked.
"From everything," Sun said as she stormed off.
"Meeting dismissed," Dad said. I went upstairs to finish cleaning up the bathroom, it was my turn. I hated it. When I was done, I went to Star's room.
"Knock knock," I said.
"Come come," Star answered. She was cleaning her room.
"Later then," I said.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"Nowhere, I'll wait till you're done," I said.
"'Kay," I went to dad, but stopped I found him shouting at Danny.
"What did you hear?" Danny asked me furiously.
"Nothing, I promise," I said in fear.
"Leave him alone," Dad said.
"If you don't want anyone to hear, then don't yell," I said. I went to Miral.
"Hey Mimi," I said.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing much,"' I said.
"Um, Duane can I talk to you for a moment?"
"No,"
"Why?"
"Because when you say that, something bad always happens,"
"Oh, shut up. Anyway, it's important,"
"Fine, later," I went to Sam's room.
"Hey, Samaram,"
"Haha, not funny,"
"Sorry for trying to have a sense of humour,"
"What do you want?"
"I'm going," I went to Moon's room.
"Hiya Moonster,"
"Can you stop with the nicknames?"
"Were you spying on me?"
"No, I have a life,"
"Thanks?"
"Well?"
"Well?"
"Why are you here?"
"Just stopped by to say hi,"
"Hi,"
"Hey, that rhymes,"
"Hey, I don't care,"
"Well,"
"Just find someone to entertain you until I'm done. You know I'm cranky when cleaning,"
"Byes,"
"What?"
"Just finish cleaning,"
I went outside to find something to do, but all I could find were some rocks and stones. One of them was really shiny and colourful. I picked it up. It was so beautiful! I shouldn't show it anyone, they would take it from me. I put it in my pocket, and went to my room.
Life is so hard. I wish I was like Megan. She has her mom, she has money, she has everything! Except well, a good personality.
I looked at my rock, it was really beautiful. It was one of a kind. I held in my hand really tight.
"I wish I was rich," I said. I fell asleep.
Sometimes I really wish it was a permanent sleep.
