Summer...chapter two.

I thought this would be an excellent time to put the second chapter. If you never read the first one then look for the title called "SUMMER!" Once again its a draft and I never wrote it...it was someone else. (But the next one after this is mine :)





*Chapter 2*
All Aboard! (summer)

“Amar, Amar! I got the letter, I got it!” Shouted Summer, as she ran outside towards the cousin and his friend Samir. “What in the world?” laughed Samir when Summer crashed into Amar hugging him. “What does it say?” Amar looked at Summer intently. Summer began “It says…”

“Summer has been accepted to attend Kirndelum School of Magic and Swordsmanship. Please be at the Gate F32 in Barcelona, Spain. In your envelope is a one-way ticket to London by train. Be at the station and boarded on Sept. 19th by ten am. Thank you, and we look forward to meeting you!”
Signed,
The Kirndelum Staff

“I made it! Isn’t that wonderful? Wait, it says September nineteenth, that’s the day after tomorrow.” Summer said weakly. “Yes, and we leave tomorrow.” Amar said grabbing her arm and leading her away. “Wait, we?” Summer questioned “Yes, I go to Kirndelum as you do, now go get packed; bring lots of warm clothes, shoes, and not too many silk things.” Amar ordered. “Okay, bye Amar, bye Samir.” Summer sighed “Bye Summer.” They both chanted at the same time. They watched her leave then continued their conversation.

Summer walked down the hall to kitchen and asked the head chef “Do we have any pie?” “Yes, my lady, but your cousin, Amar told you no pie.” “Who said I was going to eat it. I’m going to the market later and I was going to do something with it,” she said looking the head chef right in the eye. “Plus I only want a slice of pie and yes, I know you have some, now please can I have some?” “Fine, as you wish, my lady.” He said walking behind the counter to collect a piece. Upon his return Summer said “Amar said know pi, not no pie.” He handed her the pie and she walked to her room.
She got out her suitcase and began to pack. She packed a few shirts and pants and a couple of dresses, a few shoes and her sneakers. She got a big purse and filled it with money from all different parts of the world and put some jewelry with it. She went to her mirror and looked at her reflection. Tan skin splayed across her body and thick black curly hair swirled down her back, she looked closer at her amber colored eyes. ‘What do the see people see when they look at me’ she thought. She quickly finished her piece of pie and finished packing.
The next day she and Amar rushed to the airport and boarded the airplane, and away they flew. Once they took off Summer was asking all sorts or questions. Amar answered her questions with one or two words and eventually fell asleep. Not wanting to bother him Summer just sat there and listened to music till the plane hit the run-way.

Amar hailed a taxi and they went to a hotel called Cedar Grindal which was only ten miles away from the train station which they’d be boarding the next morning. Late in the afternoon Amar scampered off to go find some of his friends. Summer decided to go to a chocolate shop across the street. She walked up to the door and an old man was yelling “Chocolate, Chocolate, get some yummy delicious chocolate.” Summer looked up at the shop, it sort of looked like a bakery, but it was full of chocolate instead of cakes. Deciding to try it she walked inside and walked up to the counter. “Can I help you?” a you girl with curly brown hair asked. “Um, sure, I guess.” Summer replied. “Good, because I was getting so bored back there.” She yawned. “How much is a bowl of chocolate?” Summer asked “A small one is three pounds, medium is five pounds, and the large is seven pounds.” She paused waiting for a reply “So do you want one?” she urged “Uh, sure I’ll take a medium.” Summer said in a small daze. “Okay, that’ll be five pounds.” Summer handed her the money and got her chocolate. She started walking to a table when a foot shot out in front of her. Summer tripped and toppled on the boy in front of her spilling most of her chocolate on the boy that had brown hair. “I’m so sorry.” She gasped “It’s okay.” He said, looking in her eyes and helping her up. Summer heard laughter in the distance and she broke the gaze he had on her. She scanned the people behind her and saw another brown haired boy laughing with his foot out in front of him. Summer left the boy who had helped her up and went up to the boy laughing. She kicked him in the shin and poured the rest of its contents on his head. “Just be lucky I won’t tell Amar on you, then you’d really pay.” “So your Amar’s sister, I should have known.” He said in shock. “I’m his cousin.” She said coldly and went back to the other boy. “I am exceedingly sorry.” She continued “Who’s Amar?” “My cousin,” Summer said then looked at him curiously, “Why?” “I dunno,” He shrugged, “Do you live near here?” “No, I came here for school and we leave tomorrow.” “Me too!” he said excitedly. “By the way my name is Summer… Summer Misty Knight.” Summer added “My name is Fall Autumn Brown.” He said cautiously hoping she wouldn’t make fun of his middle name. “I really sorry.” Summer said again. “It’s okay, you just got it on my jacket, it’ll wash our and if it doesn’t…well it’ll smell good. It wasn’t your fault.” He said putting his hand on her shoulder. “Um, okay by then.” Summer waved then left the shop thinking of what might have happened to Fall if he saw him touch her. She shivered at the thought.

The next day she got up early and dressed in a gold dress and put on her gold and silver cloak. She tucked away some of the extra chocolate she had bought in her pockets. Summer quickly brushed through her hair and went to Amar’s bed and shook him awake. “I’m going to get something to eat.” She said “Wait,” Amar jumped out of bed. He got something our of her jewelry box. “What now?” Summer complained “You are a princess and be proud of it.” He said setting it on her head. “Okay, can I go now?” Summer said rolling her eyes. “Sure, but come back soon.” “Thanks.” She said skipping out of the room.

Summer and Amar got to the station at nine thirty, and she went into a little shop called Kirndelum Strength. Inside she saw the most beautiful statue of a wolf. She bought it quickly and boarded the train; sitting in the biggest compartment. She looked down the corridor where a girl with white blonde hair was sitting. Summer quickly pulled her head back as the conductor shouted “All Aboard!” and they were off.
