The door creaked open slowly. She peeked out at me and my smile.
“See?” I said.
She nodded. She quickly shut the door.
“I don’t want to get in trouble,” she said.
“Ok,” I said.
“I don’t want you to get in trouble either. You should go,” she said.
“I’m not going. I’ll take the blame if someone gets mad,” I said.
I doubted my parents would stop arguing for a while. They didn’t argue often but when they did it was always a “serious topic” so they talked for a long time. I spoke too soon. Mom came out of her room.
“Calix, get away from that door!” She screeched.
I stood up, shocked at her reaction.
“Mom, what kind of sleepover is this? What’s going on?” I asked, feeling scared.
“Sleepover?” She said, looking at me strangely.
She put her hand to her forehead.
“Oh, Calix,” she said exasperatedly (Alex’s vocabulary word day before yesterday).
“This is not a sleepover and Chasity is not your new playmate,” she said.
I looked just as confused as I felt.
“She’s my…she’s a…her parents owe me and your father a lot of money. They owe the pack a lot of money. They have to pay it back but instead of paying it back, they ran away and left her here,” explained Mom. “So…Chasity will help out around here while we wait for them to come back for her.”
“Help out? Like chores?” I asked.
“Yeah,” said Mom.
“How much allowance will she get?” I wondered.
“Her allowance will go towards the money her parents owe. Your father thinks it’s a good idea,” said Mom, pinning the blame on Dad.
Dad would say Mom made him bad cop and Mom would say Dad made her bad cop. They both wanted to be good cop but they both ended up seeming like bad cop.
“If there’s money troubles, you can give Chasity my allowance until it gets sorted,” I offered. “I can live off what I have saved!” I said proudly.
I had a lot of money saved. More than one hundred and eleven dollars as of today because I found nine quarters in the couch!
“No, Calix, we don’t have money troubles, that won’t be necessary,” said Mom sternly.
“But if Chasity…” I began.
“Chasity is none of your concern, understand?” She said, fixing me with a “don’t question me” exp**ssion.
“No,” I said defiantly. “I don’t understand.”
Dad came stomping out of his room.
“Stop humouring him, Ronnie! Stop babying that boy!” Said Dad.
I could see I would not win this argument.
“It’s time for dinner,” said Mom.
“I’m going to the conference room for the pack meeting,” said Dad.
“Eat with the family first,” insisted Mom.
“You have more than enough family around for you to eat with,” said Dad, brushing past Mom.
Mom looked shocked as she watched him go.
“Chasity, dinner time,” I called.
Mom grabbed my arm, pulling me around to face her, holding my arm kind of tightly. I yanked it away.
“Chasity will not have meals with us,” she said.
“What?” I asked. “She has to eat!”
“And she will, in her room,” said Mom.
“Why can’t she…” I began.
“I am the parent and you are the child,” hissed Mom.
I glared at her. Mom and I practically never fought but she was acting weird.
“If Chasity is not gonna be at dinner than neither am I,” I said coldly.
“Fine, go to your room,” said Mom.
My jaw dropped. Mom ushered me into my room and closed the door.
“I’ve had enough for one day, Calix,” she said, seeming like she was going to cry again. “Enough.”
I triple knocked on my wall as soon as she was gone. This was the wall I shared with Alex. He triple knocked back. We both went to our windows, stuck our heads out and looked at each other.
“What’s wrong?” Asked Alex in concern.
“Chasity won’t be at dinner,” I said.
“Cause of her chickenpox,” he said.
Oh. Shoot.
“Yeah, um, and me either,” I said.
“Right, cause you’re staying up to help her?” He said.
“Right,” I said. “Bring us stuff to eat!”
“Yeah, of course, you don’t have to ask. I would have just brought it when I didn’t see you there,” he chuckled.
“Thanks, Alex,” I said, relieved.
I waited in my room and played video games. I thought about Chasity a lot. Eventually, I heard a triple knock on my door. I opened it and Alex and Felix were both carrying two plates each. All four plates were overladen with food.
“Thanks guys,” I said, grinning.
“Is she in here?” Asked Felix, looking behind me.
“Nah,” I said.
Felix frowned.
“This better not all be for your greedy ass,” said Felix.
“You’re the greediest one here,” I said. “You used to be fat!”
“And you still are!” Retorted Felix.
“Stop it you two!” Said Alex sternly.
Sometimes, Alex was a better parent than our parents.
“I’m so good-looking I can afford to gain weight if I feel like. I look good either way,” said Felix. “Nothing’s wrong with a little extra junk in the trunk.”
Ugh, he was so boastful. Sometimes, I wished I had his confidence though. Alex and Felix went to their rooms. I ran across the hallway with two of the plates and triple knocked on Chasity’s door. Nothing happened. Oh! Shoot! She didn’t know the code.
“Chasity, open up, I have your dinner,” I said trying to be loud and quiet at the same time which was difficult.
Chasity opened the door a tiny bit. She was still crying.
“I’m not hungry,” she said.
