Caroline's Crazy Grandma Chapter 3

The morning after her sleepover was her birthday. Caroline wasn't too excited, she wished for new books but by now she knew better than to get her hopes up.



She ate a bowl of her favourite cereal for breakfast, ignoring her grandmother making fun of her behind her back.



Once it was a decent hour she call her friends and invited them to her birthday. It's very casual and starts at 5pm. She invited her only 3 friends, Mortimer Goth, Emilie Brower & Renee Dickinson.



Emilie was still asleep in her room so she just stayed for the party instead of going home. While waiting for 5pm Caroline finished reading "Where's Bella?"



Then she started reading "Murder in Pleasantview".



Around 3pm she decided to set up for her party. She couldn't afford much but she bought herself a cake and some balloons from the Grocery Store.



Just before 5 Mortimer arrived bring Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches he prepared himself. In fact he was the only one to show up. Emilie was still there and Renee blew them off.



Caroline wished that the last couple years had been a dream and that her parents were still alive. As usual her Grandmother made fun of her for it.



I had a choice for her next trait and chose Ambitious. She accomplished all her childhood goals, I'm counting her A as a success because she was on the honour roll, with a filled progress bar for days and only an A. I googled and looked through the Prima Guide and saw no mention of an A+ so I don't think A+ exists. and +10 for not growing into a bad trait. I think teen years will be harder.



Everyone enjoyed a piece of birthday cake, except Emilie who left as soon as the candles were blown out.



New Outfit.



And a haircut.



She decided to have a small birthday party for her Best Friend Mortimer since he was still there. Considering he was a kid her first day in town he probably would have aged up that night anyhow. Mortimer is Grumpy so he didn't really appreciate the party.



Mortimer is not bad looking really.



That night Caroline slept in her grandmothers bed again because her grandmother had already gone to sleep in her bed. I guess she thought they had traded beds.



As soon as she woke up Caroline called a repair technician, something she had wanted to do almost the entire time she had lived here.



Now that Caroline has grown into a teenager she's starting to feel a little more confident, a little more in control. She can do things for herself and doesn't feel the need to run and get away from her Grandmother's house.



Mortimer came home with her after school, she realized that she was having feelings for Mortimer, feelings that she would like them to be more than friends.



She asked Mortimer if he was single and he said that he was.



She tried complimenting him, flirting with him but Mortimer was indifferent.



They did their homework together before Mortimer left to go home.



Later that night he called to apologize, said he just wasn't in a very good mood. That's not unusual since Motrimer is pretty Grumpy.



Caroline decided that since the money was starting to get a little tight, not something she thought about as a child, she had better get a part time job. She got a job as a Cash Register Specialist at the Bookstore for $30 / hour. She worked M - F from 3 - 6 pm.



When she got home from her job interview she paid the bills and headed to bed.



The next day Caroline went to school, happy that a lot of things were falling into place, everything really except her love life.



Again Mortimer came home with her after school.



Again she tried to kindle something between them, only to be met by indifference.



She didn't have long to dwell on it though, her carpool arrived for her first day at the bookstore.



While she was at work Motrimer stuck around, playing catch with Caroline's grandma.



After work Caroline hoped that Mortimer was in a better mood.



He accepted an amorous hug, but still thought Caroline was "Just Okay". He left straight away after the hug, feeling a little awkward, and Caroline headed to bed.



Caroline got up early to have breakfast the next morning, she had gone to bed so early the night before that she had skipped dinner.



The next day Emilie came home from school with her instead of Mortimer. She had met a new boy at school, she thought he might be a couple years older than her, his name was Brian Barber. She wasn't giving up on Mortimer just yet but Brian had possibility aswell.



She didn't really have time to visit however, she really needed a bath before work.



Unfortunately her bath took so long that she was running late.



She missed her carpool, but quickly caught a cab to work. Her employers were not very impressed.



After work she caught a cab to the school, she had promised to help fix the boiler and tonight was the night it fit best into her schedule.



By the time she left the school her curfew had passed and she was worried the police would pick her up. Thankfully she managed to hail a cab home before that happened.



When she got home she was surprised to see Emilie was still there. Apparently she hung around just long enough to say goodbye. Caroline said goodbye and grabbed a quick dinner of Bread with Jam.



She started her homework but was too tired to rad the words on the page before long.



She had time to finish up her homework the next morning before school thankfully.



She was hoping to see Brian at school but was conflicted as she still had feelings for Mortimer.



When Mortimer came home with her she decided to give it one last chance. 3 strikes you're out sort of thing.



Mortimer made his feelings pretty clear unfortunately.



Caroline left for work with his words still on her mind.

Caroline's Crazy Grandma Chapter 2

Caroline had gone to school that morning knowingit was an important day and it was. When she came home she had an A report card to show for it and wished her parents were there to share in her joy.



She had brought her friend Renee home from school and the 2 girls had immediately set about doing their homework.



After they were finished Renee tried talking to Caroline's grandma. They actually got along quite well. Turns out they are both mean-spirited.



Caroline had leftover Autumn Salad for dinner, her first real food since moving in with her grandma.



Outside Renee was kicking over the trashcan. Must be a mean-spirited thing.



She then came inside and brushed her teeth.



Which promptly broke the sink.



Caroline said goodbye to her friend and picked up the garbage can. Unfortunately there was nothing she could do about the sink, the repair technician just wouldn't listen to a little girl.



She went to bed early, it wasn't too bad living with her grandma. Lonely but not too bad.



Caroline contemplated trying to make friends with her bus driver, just to have an adult she could trust, but thought better of it.



When Caroline got home from school her grandma was acting pretty lucid so she decided to get her to help with her homework assignment.



Caroline's grandmother must have felt she was being too nice by helping with Caroline's homework. Immediatey afterwards she snuck up behind her,



and scared the daylights out of Caroline as she thought about heading to the library.



Even if she wasn't thinking about it before, the scare made her decided that getting out of the house was a good idea.



At the library she ran into another girl from school, a year younger than her, Emilie Brower.



Emelie was nice enough but all she wanted to talk about was the Zorro book she was reading.



She decided to call her best friend to come hang out with her, he said he'd be there in a litytle while.



While she waited she worked a little on her novel, Battle Gnomes.



When Mortimer arrived she hugged him, happy at last to see someone who actually cared about her.



Caroline was not sure what came over her but she had a strange desire to mooch money from Mortimer. He didn't mind and have her $2.



Unfortunately her curfew was soon up and she had to head home.



Caroline was glad her grandmother was asleep by the time she came home.



She ate some canned soup for dinner.



Despite her poor day she slept peacefully that night.



Caroline was more than happy to see the school bus pull up that morning before her grandmother even awoke.



Caroline made the honour rol that day and made sure to do her homework right away even though she had all weekend to finish it.



Caroline was so tired she wanted to go to bed immediately, even though it was only 5pm.



Her grandmother scared her right before she lied down, she has been doing that a lot lately, seems to get a lot of pleasure from it.



Caroline decided to just take a nap instead.



When she woke up she invited her best friend Mortimer over, she wanted to ask him to sleep over once he got there.



Unfortunately he left almost as soon as he got there and she never got the chance to ask him.



Caroline's grandmother made her Mac 'n' Cheese at 10pm, her earliest dinner yet.



After dinner she went to best, she wanted to be well rested for her big plans tomorrow.



Caroline woke up with anticipation, hoping her grandmother wouldn't find a way to ruin her day.



Her grandmother walked in on her in the bath but she wasn't going to let that get her in a bad mood.



Caroline ate a quick breakfast of cereal before heading out.



She rode her bike to Llama Memorial Stadium. Today was the free game she won the ticket for at school.



When she got there she say a small crowd was already starting to gather. She saw her friend Emilie's dad and wondered if Emilie was at the game too.



She saw that her friend Emilie was at the game. They chatted a while after the game, Caroline learned that she is Neat. They quickly became not only friends but Good Friends.



They played tag until it was starting to get dark.



Caroline did something she desperately wanted to do, but was a little afraid to do aswell. She invited her new friend to her house.



Once home she asked Emilie to sleep over, she still wanted a sleepover and it was getting too late to invite Mortimer over. Emilie became her second best friend.



Caroline figured that since she had a friend over, it would be better if they used the big bed, just for the night. However she ended up sleeping alone.



Emilie stayed up talking about her dad...



Brushing her teeth 4 times...



Before she finally got tired.



She finally laid down for a nap at 6:30 am.
