Line 54:
Their chatter was cut off when Carlotta snottily notified Ms. DuPont about their talking during class. The aggravated woman threatened again to call Simon and Alisha, but only returned to her messy desk.
== CHAPTER 2 ==
Ms. DuPont didn't move again from her huge padded chair until pink paint exploded around a very giggly Star. The wall and floor along with half of the desks were now spotted with gobs of hot magenta liquid, causing groans from the boys and squeals from the girls.
Ms. DuPont then told Star and a few other laughing, pink-coated girls to clean up the classroom after school, which was about to end. Dany used Davy cell phone, which was glossy and new-looking, to phone Granny Shue and tell her that Star would be late. She reminded him to pick up the groceries, which she had already given him money for.
Davy was picked up by his dad, who saw Dany nearby and asked his son if he knew the other boy. “Not really, but we talked a lot today. He lives in the woods outside of town with a bunch of other kids. They were all adopted by an old lady.”
“Huh,” Simon said, scratching his head. “He looks a lot like you.”
Dany was at the grocery store when he spotted Davy at the checkout with a teenage girl. He looked bored and was pushing a stroller.
“Hey, Davy!” he shouted, making everyone in the store turn and stare at him. Davy turned and grinned.
“Hey Dany,” he points to the stroller. “This is Minzi, my sister.”
“Helwo,” crowed the little girl, clapping her hands; her Simlish was garbled.
The teenage girl nudged Davy forward. “Grab the bags, I’ll push Minz. Come on,” she said when he opened his mouth to talk to Dany. “Your parents will be back from the lodge soon, and we’re going to practice drums, remember?” she winked at him and laughed. “Don’t you want to surprise your dad?”
“Right,” said Davy, grinning and shaking his head at the teenager. “Sorry Dany, I’ll see you at school tomorrow!” he apologized as they left the store.
-----------------------------
When Dany arrived home, he found Star had beaten him there. Her hair was wet - from a bath, he was sure - and she was wearing different clothes than the paint-stained ones from school.
“Dany, hurry up! We’re going exploring in the woods!” she exclaimed, pumping the air with her fist.
Carlotta came into the entryway. “I bet I’ll beat you both to the water.” She declared, raising and eyebrow at her adoptive brother.
Dany snorted. “Sure, Car,”
Star jumped off the patio railing and onto the grass, dashing toward the trees. “I will win first!” she declared. Carlotta chased after her, laughing, and tripped Dany.
He sped after the two girls, digging his sneakers into the dirt paths in the woods. In the last minute, as Carlotta neared the banks of the spring, he sprinted and flew past the two of them.
Carlotta made a face.
“You’re lucky,” Star explained. “But all your luck will eventually run out, and then I will be the supreme winner!”
“Yeah right,” Muttered Carlotta, but only Dany heard her. Carlotta kicked off her sandals and splashed her feet in the cold water.
Star was still out of breath. She sat on the rocks ringing the water, gazing across the surface of the clear pool. “What’s that?”
“One of the springs, idiot.” Carlotta said, rolling her eyes.
Star jumped off the rock. “No, that plant. Look at it! It has a halo!”
Both Carlotta and Dany raced over to examine the strange, glowing plant.
“Have you seen one of these in the garden before?” Star asked, getting so close to one of the fruits, her nose nearly touched it.
“No.” said Carlotta. “We’d better leave them alone.” She turned and walked back to the trails. "They're probable poisonous."
Dany and Star exchanged a look. Carlotta was still walking away. Star nodded and Dany plucked a pear-shaped fruit from the bush, stuffing it in his pocket.
They chased Carlotta the way back to the house, but it seemed Dany’s luck was wavered by his curiosity over the strange fruit.
