The Life of Bella Jones
*Alarm Clock Ring* its 5:20 in the morning it’s time to get ready for school. First one out of six to get up. I’m up out of everyone’s way. I shower brush my teeth and get out the bathrooms fast as I can.
I go wake my sister Myra up. She doesn’t like to wake up, so Mom says she have to get up next. Myra has longs because she works at Burger King and still attends school. My two little sisters Lee ‘Anna and Annabel start to get ready for school too. Lee ‘Anna rushing Myra out the bathroom (she takes forever). I and my little sisters all attend the same school, John Dickinson High School. We have to be dressed and out the door at the bus stop by 6:40am.
About A Hour Later Mom and my baby sister have to get ready. (Yes, our house is wide in the morning). My baby sister Neena in middle school, she attends Skyline middle school. Neena doesn’t ride a bus, Dad takes her to school. My parents think Neena’s too young to ride a bus. My Dad Also takes mom to work too. My mother works in the court house. By 8:30am everyone is in school and at work besides my Dad and big brother Chucky. When me and sisters go off to school, my brother would be walking in the house. Chucky drop out of school and became a hustler.
While my mom at work today some lady in her early 30’s came to file child support paper. The man she files them for was my brother. On the paper the name says (Chucky Jones). My dad and brother have the same name. But when my mom saw the papers at her job she started to get heated. Me and All 4 of sisters are home from school when mom gets off work. At 4:30 my mother walks in the door starts yelling at my father. We all runs down stairs and watch’s me, my sisters and brother. My dad has no clue what my mom is talking about.
*Weeks Later* the mail from court comes to my house. My dad opens it in reads it. The court papers are filed against my brother. My dad told my mom the news; she hurried in called my brother. He comes home fast. My mom asking him all these questions, my brother say doesn’t have any kids, he wants a blood test. The next day, my dad takes my brother to get the test down. The test comes back two days later. We have a nephew, we so happy for my brother. Little Chucky isn’t all that happy but my parents say he has to take care of the baby after all.
We finally meet the baby and his mom for the first time. My nephew is so handsome!!!!!!!! My life isn’t a lot of fun but its okay. I love my wild, crazy, loving family.
