It's Not The End Of The World




Andrea woke up to her sister's cell phone ringing. "..." She slowly groaned and stood up. She and her sister, Samantha, shared the same room, but her brother Sean slept in the room at the end of the house. Andrea walked over to Samantha's bed and looked at the time on her cell phone. "Who calls Sam at 6 A.M.?" She answered it. "Hello, Andrea Miller speaking!" A man's deep voice said back, "Andrea?" Andrea looked around. "Andrea, how's your mom doing, and where's Sam?" Andrea shrugged as if the man could see. "Who is this?" The man spoke loudly. "YOUR DAD!!" Andrea looked stunned. "Well, sorry! Sam's in bed, asleep, and mom is fine. Why did you call?" The phone hung up and immediatly something came up behind Andrea.
Andrea turned around and got in Karate pose. "HIYA!" Her dad back away and put his hands out. "Woah... Watch it there..." They both laughed. "Well, dad.." Andrea kept laughing. "Why are you here?" Her dad paused. "Well, I don't know, why am I here?" Andrea looked at the opened cell phone in her hands. "It's time for breakf- OOOOHHHH.... Well, I'd rather eat at school, thanks anyways dad." Her dad shook his head. "Well, sorry to say but... School doesn't start for you until 2 hours." Andrea looked at the phone. "You gotta point... Oh well, I'll just eat here, then at school." Her dad laughed.
Andrea was comfused. "What's so funny?" Her dad laughed harder. "Here?" Andrea got what he meant. "...hmm..." She grabbed his arm and pulled him to the car. "We're off to Denny's!" She smiled. "Wait.." Andrea ran inside, her dad followed. When she got inside she gave her mom a kiss. "For good luck." They both smiled and walked back outside to the car.
On the way there they talked. "Dad, tell me a story about Laura..." Laura was Andrea's 21 year old sister, she died in the war. "Well, Laura was sweet and loving, and the sad part was, she had to die..." Andrea looked around. "Do you think mom'll die?" Her dad looked down and pulled into Denny's. A breakfast and dinner restraunt. "Here we are." Andrea grabbed her father's shirt. "Do you?" Her father ignored the question. Andrea sighed. "I'll have a pancake..." They went to table 12. "There's no one here..." The waitress came up to table 12 with a notepad. "Well, seeing that it's only 6:28... That, or there out fighting for world peace..." Andrea just turned and said. "One Sprite and Cherried pancakes.." Her dad looked at her. "I'll have the All*Star meal. With eggs, and one tall glass of ice tea." The waitress smiled. "Yes, Sir..." She winked and walked off.

Chapter 2
SCHOOL

After breakfast Andrea got ready for school and walked out the door. She was in 7th grade and went to PlankSaw Private school. As she walked she met up with her friend Casey. "Hey.." Casey looked at Andrea. "How your mom doing?" Andrea popped up. "Don't talk about it please, all I can tell you is that she didn't die, yet..." Casey shook her head. "Come on, if she dies she dies, before she got shot you were all cheery, I loved you that way,Andrea!" She smiled. "I guess, but wouldn't you worry if your mom got shot on the tip of her heart, got patched up, and any second could have a heart attack?" Andrea frose, not paying attention to what she had said, 3 tears were dripping down Casey's face. "Wait.. NO! I'm sorry." Casey punched andrea in the nose, it started to bleed. "YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT MY MOM DIED!!!" Andrea heald her nose. "I'M SORRY!" Casey looked at her. "No, I'm sorry, I was just saying to not worry about your mom dying and then I went crazy when I thought about mine. Heh..." Casey pulled a napkin from her pocket and gave it to Andrea. "Thanks, that was some punch..." Casey shrugged. "Thanks.." They both laughed just a little and made there way to school.
At school Casey and Andrea went to breakfast and found Brandon. "Hey... Come sit over here guys!!" Casey played. "UH! We are SO NOT guys..." Brandon stood up. "HEHEHEHE.." He did a girly laugh. "Neither am I..." Andrea's eye's got big. "Woah... Umm, let's get breakfast first..." They came out with pancakes and sausage. Casey took a bite of her sausage and the bell rang. "What a waist of money..." Brandon ran and threw his tray away. "Race yah!" Casey and Andrea laughed and counted down. "5...4...3...2..." Brandon passed by and at the same time Casey and Andrea said. "What happened?" They laughed harder. Brandon rolled his eyes. Andrea turned to Casey. "That is why we don't run in the halls... Detention..." Casey was new, she transfored 2 weeks ago.
Casey, Andrea and Brandon walked to class, they were late, as always. "World geography class at 9:45! Do the MathSheet I put on your desk." The teacher, Mrs. Jocklin, Wrote on the board:

Unpack, Do MathSheet, Get out Homework.

Nobody listened to the teacher so she always wrote it on the board. Taylor the school showoff raised her hand. "Mrs. Jocklin, I have something to show the class.." Without a reply offered, Taylor stood up and walked to the front of class with a crayon box. "My Crayons, are genuin sharp crayons!" Casey raised her hand. "Taylor. What's the meaning of genuin?" Taylor sighed. "Well, duh it means... SPECIAL!" Everyone in the class laughed. "Well, there's a start. *laugh* *throw tomatoes* ECT."
Soon it was time for lunch. Andrea sat next to Casey, and Brandon and sat across from Taylor. Taylor turned to Ryan who sat next to her. "where's Zach?!?" Zach tapped Taylor's shoulder. "Hey, Taylor.." Taylor blushed. "Hiya Zach..." She winked and batted her eyelashes. Everyone rolled there eyes.

Chapter 3
AFTER SCHOOL

After School Taylor, Zach, Casey, Andrea, Brandon, and Sean hung out. Andrea looked over at Sean. "So, what's goin' on with you people?" Sean laughed. Taylor smirked. Zach looked at Taylor. Casey looked at Andrea. "I unno... But, shouldn't we go get your sister?" Andrea turned around. "I guess, but isn't she capable of finding us herself?" They all shrugged and followed Casey and Andrea. Sean spoke. "Casey, Your cool?" Everyone Froze in sight of Sean kissing a picture Casey. Casey acted as if she was gagging. Zach just smiled. Brandon fell down laughing. "Oh my gosh! Sean, likes Casey?!" Everyone laughed at Brandon. "You didn't know that?" They said at the same time. Brandon looked back and forth. "Yeah... I Knew- OFCOURSE I KNEW THAT!!!" Casey looked at sean with a smile. Andrea slapped her. "Oh come on... You can't possibly like him!" Casey didn't say a thing. "Hello?" She suddenly snapped from confusion. "HUH? Oh, well he is kinda cute.." Andrea shook her head. "HE IS MY BROTHER!" Casey rolled her eyes. "Who cares?" Andrea ignored her question. "Okay, fine, lets go to the woods." The woods is where all the kids liked to talk and play games in. Casey shrugged. "Kay, less go my peopelll." Sean and Casey heald hands, Zach and Taylor heald hands, and Andrea and Brandon heald hands, the whole way. Andrea sang quietly. Brandon whispered. "I think your a good singer, you should try out for-" Brandon heard a scream. He turned around. Taylor fell into a pile of mud, face first.
Taylor screamed louder. "THAT WAS NOT FUNNY ZACH!!! HELP ME UP NOW!!!!!!!" Zach stood there staring into the sky. "ZACH!!!!! LOOK AT ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!" Zach looked back at Taylor. "Huh? Taylor? Are you okay?" He stuck out his hand and helped taylor up. "THANK YOU ZACH! NEXT TIME YOU BETTER HELP ME WHEN I SAY TO THE FIRST TIME!!!" Andrea looked madly at Taylor. "It wasn't his fault! He expiriances black outs, and random hapennings in his mind through out life..." Brandon let go of Andrea's hand. Andrea gasped. Soon it ended up as just a group of people walking.

Chapter 4
IN THE WOODS

In the woods nobody spoke until brandon stood up and started to walk away. "Brandon!!! Get back here!" Brandon kept walking. Andrea ran up to him and grabbed his shoulder. "What are you doing?" Brandon slapped her hand. "What's the point of being here if were not ganna do onything?" Andrea grabbed his hand. "He is right guys, lets go..." Zach was sitting on a log ripping apart leaves. He stopped. Taylor, Sean, and Casey stood up. "Okay, come on, Zach!!! Now!!!" Zach didnt move an inch. Taylor grabbed him. "NNNNOOOOWWWW!" He jumped up. "WE HAVE TO STAY!!!" Everyone froze except Taylor. "No, we have to-" Casey shoved a stone in her face. "Why, Zach?" A tear came running down Zachs face. He turned trying not to show it. "Follow me." Taylor shook her head. "Nah ah... I'm staying right here." Zach shrugged. "Taylor listen... You need to-" Brandon stopped him. "No, you guys go, I'll stay with Taylor." Zach shouted. "NO!! WE HAVE TO GO FURTHER INTO THE WOODS!" Brandon moved Casey stone filled hand away from Taylor. "No really we'll-" "NO!!!!!!" Andrea let go of Brandons hand. "No, Zach, just let them..." "But, They can't... They'll... Nevermind" Casey looked back at Sean. "Sean what about you?" "I'll go..." They nodded and followed Zach.
Further into the woods they went. Not a word to be said. Zach stopped moving and sat on a random log near by. "This is it..." Andrea put her hand on Zachs shoulder. "What's going on Zach?" Zach wrapped his arms around her and started crying. "It's my dream!! A 'random happening.' I had a vision that the war was coming this way, and I don't know who but someone close to YOU is ganna die! I wanted to bring you all here so you wouldn't, get hurt..." Andrea calmly let him go. "Well, thats very nice, Zach. But I..." Zach started running. Sean, Andrea, and Casey ran after him.

Chapter 5
A DEAD RELATIVE

"Zach?!?!? What the heck are you doing!?!??!" "Brandon and Taylor!!" Andrea, Casey and Sean did n't say anything. Zach ended back where Taylor and Brandon should have been. "Where are they?" Andrea's cell phone beeped. "I gatta text..." She opened her phone and it said; Hurry!! Get home now, some things wrong with____; The phone shut off. Sean turned. "Who was it?" Andrea jumped ahead with Zach. "Guys, we gatta go home.." Zach shook his head. "Okay, no questions, lets go." They all started to run.
They got to Andrea's house. "Samantha!?" Taylor and Brandon came running downstairs. "Whats up, guys?" Taylor tried to catch breath. "Your mom- Your mom is-" Andrea pushed them out of the way. "Mom!!" She ran upstairs to her mom's room. Panting loudly her mom tried to move. "Mama?" Andrea's mom stopped the loud breathing. It was silent. "Mom... Are you okay?" Zach ran in. "What's this?" He picked up a note off the ground and read aloud.

Dear Andrea,
Your mom has been shot, dreadful isn't it?
If you look at her left shoulder you will find a hole going in through the front,
And out the back. I'm very sorry. Wait, no I'm not. Ha Ha.

TaTa for now,
Andrew Miller



Andrea started to pout. "Andrew... Miller..." Zach walked closer and put his hand on her shoulder. "It's okay Andrea..." Andrea started to cry. "No, its not, me, you and Casey are going to find Andrew Milled if it's the last thing we do..." Casey came upstairs. "Casey read this." She handed Casey the note. "Oh my gosh... What are we going to do about it?" Andrea stood up and stopped crying. "Come with me..." They followed.

Chapter 6
ANDREW MILLER

That night Casey stayed the night and Zach was to meet them the next morning. Casey and Andrea sat in bed gazing at the note. "Andrew Miller... How would this Andrew guy know who I am. I mean, he wrote, dear Andrea... That's one clue. We need more evedince before we go off and start accusing people." Casey snatched the note away. "Lets see... He sounds like a british guy." She thought. "Hey! Do you still have that cop kit from last year?" Andrea hopped off the bed and looked under it. "Yep. Right here! Why?" She handed it to Casey. Casey took out the hand writing detector. She scanned over the words with a redish circle thing that beeped. Soon it beeped loudly. "Ah-Ha! It says... Andrew miller." Her eyes got straightened out with Andrea's. "I still have the finger print paper!" Casey slowly moved her eye's, scanning the paper. "i don't think we need it." Andrea saw a loopy design. "Why would he be stupid enough to put his own finger print on there?" Casey shook her head. "He wouldn't." "But he did!" Casey stood up and walked out the door. "Casey? Where are you going?" Casey talked but didn't turn back to look at all. "I know exactly where to find him!" Casey started jogging. "Meet me at Zach's house!"
Casey came to Zach's bedroom window soon enough to find him being tucked in. They waited for his mom to leave. "Zach..." She banged on window and the screen fell down. She found a twig on the ground and unlatched the window. Casey jumped inside. "Andrea will be here in a second." Zach stood up. "I thought about it, isn't Miller Andrea's last name?" Casey looked at him stupidly. "Your right but anyone could be named 'Miller' and not be in any relation with Andrea at all."
