A young woman sat staring unseemly at the TV. Her silver-blond hair reaching to just past her shoulders was tied into a ponytail with a few strands coming down to cover one of her bright bluish green eyes. Amber about 16 sighed again she had more important things on her mind than the news. Her parents where not there at the moment both working hard at their jobs. Then when they came home Amber had only an hour to spend with them before they went to bed. Of coarse they where not her real parents Amber knew that. They had found her on the sidewalk when she was just a baby. This was common in New York they had told her. Suddenly loud knocks interrupted her thoughts. She went over to the door and opened it. Suddenly another girl who’s light brown hair fell a few inches past her shoulders came into the three bedroom apartment. “Hello Ella.” said Amber smiling at her best friend whose full name was Elodie, but everyone called her Ella. Right now Ella's hazel eyes were filled with anger. “What’s wrong.” “They are going away.” stormed Ella. Ella had always lived in the apartment next door and her and Amber grew up sharing everything. “Who?” “Our parents.” yelled Ella. Ella’s and Amber’s parents both worked the same hours and at the same place. “When” asked Amber this had happen before many times so they were used to it. “Tomorrow and they will be gone for two weeks.” sighed Ella “How do you know” asked Amber going over and checking the phone in case she missed any calls. “My parents called me and apparently yours are calling now." said Ella as the phone rang. Amber pushing her hair away from her ears picked up the phone and said “Hello.” “Hello sweetie.” said her mothers voice through the phone. “How are you.” “I’m alright. How about you?” “I’m fine. Look sweetie me and your father are going away for two weeks.” “Why” The business needs us to check up on a some things. Elodie’s parents are coming too.” “Oh” “We’re leaving tonight. Now you and Elodie take care of each other. See you in two weeks. Bye.” “Bye” said Amber as she hung up the phone. “They are leaving tonight." she said to Ella as she flopped down on the couch. “It is so annoying when they do this.” said Ella angrily. Ella had always had the opposite personality from Amber who was calm, shy, and polite. Ella personality however was based on being hyper, wild, and outgoing. “You hungry?” asked Amber going it the kitchen. “Yeah.” “ Is Mac and cheese okay.” “Sure.” said Ella as she down in a chair. Amber put the pot filled with water on the stove and waited for it to boil. razz
