Scarlet Malone Chapter 24
Do you want to watch some tv? I asked Jesse.
Sure. Jesse said.
I turned on the tv while Jesse turn around so he could see the tv.
What would you like to watch? I asked.
Don't know. Jesse said.
Okay, you get to flip while I go find snacks and drinks. I said.
Okay, do you have some pepsi? Jesse asked.
What's pepsi? I asked.
You don't know what pepsi is? Jesse asked strangely.
No, what is it? I asked.
You know it's like coke but it is called pepsi. It doesn't really taste like coke. Jesse said.
Oh, back home we call everything coke including sweet tea. I said.
You southerns and sweet tea. Jesse said laughing.
I shrugged my shoulders.
That's how I was raised. I was started drinking sweet tea when I was just a baby. Momma said that she would put in my bottle when I was little. I remember durig the summer, momma would make some sweet tea and I would feel a couple of water bottles up and I would go and just ride all day. I said.
Man, when you talk about your life in Texas, your accent comes out heavy. I never knew how southern you are. Jesse said.
Yeah, momma always told me I was way to southern to live with my dad.
I said smiling at my mermories of mom.
You can take the girl away from Texas but you can't take the Texas out of the girl. Jesse said smiling.
Yep, that is true. I am goig to go get the snacks and stuff. I said.
I will come and help. Jesse said.
We got up and walked down stairs to the kitchen. Jesse was hanging back a little bit like he was scarred to enter a room.
Come on Jesse, there is no one in here. I said.
Yeah there is, you are in there. Jesse said laughing.
Funny but I am not a crimnal. I said.
So the rumors aren't true. Jesse said.
I have all most been at the school for a whole semester and there are still rumors. Those people need to do something better with their
lives than make up rumors. I said in disgust.
Yeah, I totally agree. Jesse said.
What are some of the rumors? I asked curiously.
Well, there is the drug lord, the fake I.D., and they think you can buy beer. Jesse said.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Why is it so funny? Jesse asked.
Come on! A drug lord! Get real! If I had a fake ID, I would drive myself to school. Do you get my point? I asked smiling.
Yes, I do see your point. Jesse said laughing.
We have some Cap'n Crunch, a coke, and water. Wow, dad needs to go shopping! I said.
Well since you don't like coke, I will take. Jesse said with a smile.
Okay, I will get some water and the Cap'n Crunch. I said.
We walked back up stairs and Jesse flipped channels while I poured the cereal. Jesse stopped on a football game.
Why football? I asked.
Well, the Florida Gators are my favorite team, and they are playing tonight. Jesse said.
Oh okay. You are going to have to teach me about football, I know nothing. I said.
Okay, well, first their are two teams that play. Jesse said.
Well duh, there is always two teams except in gymnastics. They have 3 or 4. I said.
Right, anyways, they have 4 quarters, each are 15 minutes long. Then after the 2 quarter they have half time which is thirty minutes long. Jesse said.
Jesse continued for 2 hours about football. The Gators had finially won and we could watch something else besides football. Thankfully I got the remote before Jesse did. Gymnastic was on so I made him watch that. Jesse had a lot of questions about gymnastics so I told him everything I knew about it.
How come you know so much about gymnastics? Jesse asked.
Well, I use to do. I said.
I could feel myself blushing.
You use to do gymnastics! Jesse said in disbelieveth.
Yes, I use to do it. I said.
You have to show me flips and stuff! Jesse said excitedly.
I don't know, I don't even think I can do that stuff any more. I said.
Come on, you have to try. Jesse said as he pulled me off the bed.
Okay okay, I will try but don't get your hopes up! I said.
Okay, I'm not. Jesse said.
We went outside and went to the grassy erea so it would hurt less than the gravel. I just let my mind drift to different gynastic flips. I decided to do a front flip tuck. I got a little running start and did a front flip while I put my legs together, while my knees were fully bent and drawn to the chest.
I almost landed the front flip tuck but did something wrong and landed on my stomach. It hurt so had.
Scarlet are you okay? Jesse said as he ran over to me.
I'm fine. Let's try that again. I said as I got up.
You better not, you might hurt yourself. Jesse said.
Nah, I'll be fine. I said.
I thought about the flip all the way through this time and than went for it. I ran and did a front flip and landed on my shoulder again.
Dang! What am I doing wrong? I asked aloud but didn't realize it.
I don't know. Jesse said.
One more time. I said.
No way, you are going to get hurt. JEsse said.
Nah besides, Alice would call me or come over here before I do it. I said.
Scarlet, it's freezing out here, come on. Jesse said annoyed.
Nope, not till I get it down. Beside you are the one who dragged me out here. I said.
Fine. Jesse said.
I thought it through this time. I should probably tuck my knees in more and than maybe I will land it. I thought it through atleast 3 times and than decided to go for it. I went for and I landed it.
I turned around and had a huge smile on my face. That was amazing! Jesse said.
I know, it felt good to do a flip. I wanna do a couple more. I said.
Lets go get some jackets and than come back out here so we don't get sick. Jesse said.
Okay. I said as I followed inside.
We got Jackets and than went right back outside. I did that flip over and over. I loved doing a flips, I had forgotten how much I loved flipping. I heard someone pull into the drive way which caused me to lose my balance and fall when I landed on my feet. I laid on the grass laughing. I got up and looked at Edward. I watched him get out of his car.
Sorry to keep yall waiting but I have not felt good. Oh this weekend I will not be able to write much. I will be out of town...maybe.. sorry...
Do you want to watch some tv? I asked Jesse.

Dear Readers,
I'm sorry that I have not been writing, I have been at church
camp all week! Due to going to church camp and getting
convicted of my sins, I am going to take everything that deals
with vampires, wereolves, and magic out of my stories. I hope
that you continue reading them even though they will not be
like all the other worldly stories out there. I hope to see
your comments, I will try my best for them to be as good. But
without all the vampires, werewolves, and magic. I am going
to do my best to make them better than it was with the
worldly stuff! I want to make them better and to try
and witness to more people out there. I want to use my
stories for that! So I will inform you on more information
about the stories when I publish them! I will be makig some
changes, some major and others minor! I might even have to
stop a story or two. Because there might not be any way to
change it.
