Chapter 1 the move
(Robert) My 12 year alive started out regularly for me until summer when my mom decided to tell me and my "brother" we are moving. It was so sudden and so wired but every thing that my mom said went, with dad in prison only our stupid mom was in charge. My "brother" Sam was busy watching his Stacy movie collection and playing with his my pretty ponies crying every 5 minutes but doing his best to avoid tears all over his what did he call it? His madam frou frou style dress with Ribb.. Oh who cares it's so girly it makes me puke. Yep my brother is the definition of a sissy. I have never seen him in a pair of pants or shorts since he was 2 and is always making and buying these dresses, and he acts like I'm his sister, what I wouldn't give to punch him out of this car. Then again why wouldn't I it was partially his fault dad left and is in jail. "Hey Robert sparkle ribbon says she likes you and wants to kiss you" my 10 year old "brother" said in a girly voice making me sick. He began to put his pink pony doll in a dress up to my face and made kissing sounds. I grabbed the pony and began to rip it's head off. "SPARKLE RIBBON!!" Sam said as he began to cry. Mom looked back and said "ROBERT HERNANDEZ TAFFITALA, you stop torturing your sister right now." I looked in extreme disgust "stop calling HIM MY SISTER!! It only made things worse" I said to my stupid mother. She looked back and said "mister you are grounded and any allowance you earn I'd going to your sister. Oh and don't think for one second you can just not do your chores and you will win that way!" I sat back "whatever" why do I hate my mom? The owner and proprietor of pretty princess inc. the for front of all things ultra girly and ultra cute? Well because who else would drive my manly father the best father ever away with ultra girly stupidity. No wonder my father beat her, I would too if I could.
(Magnolia) unbelievable he is still so much like his father! I thought to my self as driving keeping my eyes on the road while my mind also remembered exactly one week ago. The town of staton California was paradise in the middle of no where. My business partner and best friend Karen was so right. As she drove me around I looked at a book titled "is Stanton right for you?" I was stunned. "Unbelievable, this is incredible. Can all that really be true?" Karen smiled "yes indeed, look around it is everything we could ever dream of." I looked around and noticed all the adorable young ladies each one in adorable dresses, not a boy or even a tom boy in site. I knew instantly my Samuel would love it here, and Robert? Well he will learn to love it. Karen continued "well now that you have seen everything what do you think?" I smiled "I was sold just reading this book, we will be moving in the next week" my mind went fully back to right now as I begin to see the rift. My sons unaware of what happens next I drive in. The town then begins to show up as if out of no where. "Sam, Robert look there it is there's Stanton city" the sprawling 17,000,000 square mile gated city was looking even prettier then I recall.
(Robert) I began to look around after looking at the map, surprised such a large city yet I couldn't find it on the map anywhere. Mom drove up to the front gate and began to talk with some police woman. police women, another thing this country would be so much better with out. Women should know there place like my dad would always say. Dad he knew how to be a man and it was so good when we would tell Sam how much of a failure as a human he was. The police woman looked to the car "so these are your kids" "hi there officer, I'm Samantha, or at least I will be one day" my sissy brother said in his stupid girly voice. The officer giggled at the sight of the polite girly boy. "And this is your son?" I say "yah and you should be more respectful to your gender superiors". She clearly was taken aback and then angry. "I would watch your mouth young man!" I stick my tongue out at her and she just speaks to my mom whispering out of my hearing.
(Samuel) I was taken aback by my brothers insults to the nice lady, but then again he is always like this, so much like carol. I then begin to cry remembering the awful memory of that day last year. How no mater how much I begged he just would not stop hitting me. I hate to say it but I'm glad "carol" is in jail, how he can never hurt me again. But why my brother identified with him so much I will never know. But that was then this is now. I was looking around as I saw a ton of girls around my age and there outfits were adorable, from the sparkle dream princess dresses with full petticoats, three sets of ribbons surrounding the layered skirts all in pastel colors and a trimmed adorable bodice that shimmered in the sun two girls having a tea party were wearing to the girl clearly coming home from ballet class in her pink pancake tutu, matching tights and adorable leotard with enough glitter to put an instant smile on my face, all of them with a lovely smile on there faces and joy in there step knowing life was great. I knew this is home for me. "Oh dear lord! WHERE ARE ALL THE BOYS!?!" My brother blurts out letting me know he saw much of what I saw. I sighed hoping to never see a boy in town like my brother or father ever again.
