Monster High: The Newbie (book 1)

chapter 12: Howleen gone bad

"But mom it wasn't me it was howler !"

Howleen cry as howler was in her room listening to the mother scolded howleen for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, Once the yelling stopped howleen burst into the room

"This is all your fault why can't you just mind your own business and stay out of my life !"

"If I did that what kind of sister would I be?"

"I'm the older one so stay out of it "

"im trying to but every time I turn around I see you ready to do something stupid"

"then turn the other way!"

"How could I ignored you being in a rave with those wild wolf dogs?"

"I WON'T TELL YOU AGAIN TO STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS!!"

howleen shouted making howler roll her eyes, by the next day at school they got out early as howler and her friends were exiting the school and thinking of something cool to do today

"we could always go to the mall and Shop like crazy" Isis said considering she always loves to shop, howler did like shopping but not as much as she did.

"Or we can go to the park and have some fun"

Danielle suggested

"or we can just go to the arcade and have our own fun" howler suggested as she wasn't really getting any response to

"Hey sis what are you up to?" ask Howleen as she walked over to her

"Nothing much just deciding on what to do today, hey I thought you weren't talking to me anymore?"

"....well I got over it and wanted to say sorry"

"right, Apparently I think I got 2 out of 1 to go to the mall"

"I said I wanted to go to the park," Danielle said

"Or maybe you guys can do what you want to do on your own without being together," Howleen said

"Well it's not like I care what they want to do, if they want to go shopping I will allow them, they don't have to do what I do"

"But they follow you like you're the boss or something"

"No we don't, we're just really close friends and pretty much she's kind of like the group leader," Danielle said

"We have a group leader? I thought I was group leader!"Isis asked

"Isis every time you're in charge of something you drop it on someone else so they can take care of it"

"Oh yeah, never mind then"

"So you are like the boss of this group, that's so cool," Howleen said as howler didn't know how to respond to this but she didn't think anything of it as howleen just seems to start being nice out of the blue

"it's the same thing as you and Twyla being best friend "

"Yes but that's just it, it's just me and Twyla and no one else, she's not a make new friends kind of girl," howleen said 

"Well that's how it starts at first and then, later on, she will adapt and you will have a whole bunch of friends" Isis

"I know this is weird coming from me but do you mind if I hang around you for a while?"

"Uh... I don't know" howler said 

"Please please please I'll behave and you won't even know I'm there"

"Okay, but where is clawdeen did you even tell her that you going to be with me?" she asked

"You already know big sis is at cheerleading practice right now"

"Of course she is where is my head today, anyway I guess I'll see you girls later, "howler told her friends as they waved and walked off, howler was walking with howleen following behind her as she called someone on her cellphone

"who are you talking to?" howleen asked as howler hang up the phone

"I'm going to meet carnivorous at the cafe shop"

"Carnivorous?"

"Yeah, the super rock girl that you normally see me talking to.... But I'm sure you know her as Jennifer"

"oh yeah the one you lost to in that competition, Isn't she trouble or something?"

"She's only troubled when she's around me but other than that she's pretty cool" howler said as they came to the cafe shop and saw her sitting outside reading her magazine while she had a cup of mocha "

"Yo Jen!"

she called out to her as she looked my way and smiled

"Took you long enough"

"Well unless I had a car I would have gotten here sooner but as you can see I do not"

"So what's up for today? Anything you have on your mind that you want to do?"

"I thought I might leave that part up to you, I'm pretty much empty as it is now"

"Good, cuz I have the perfect thing for us to do together," Jennifer said as she formed a smile then looked to howleen

"Who's the kid?" She said pointing to Howleen

"Uh my sister who is somehow older than me"

"so this is the one that bugs you, but you're taller than her. She isn't going to be following us is she?"

"Sorry but apparently she wants to hang around me today "

"Are you sure ?"

"Does that mean you're not going to give me what I want if she is around?" howler asked raising an eyebrow as Jennifer smile

"Fine, you should be lucky that I like you"

"I'll meet you there at you know what," she said as she started to walk away

"Where she going, I thought you guys were going to hang out?"

"We are, but you can't come along"

"Why not?"

" Jennifer is ... Not a social butterfly"

"meaning?"

"Okay how about I just put this bluntly... you're a kid I can't take you with me"

"You're joking, right? You are the kid around here I'm older than you unless you forgot about that"

"Believe me, every day that I wake up I do try to forget that you are older than me, and yes I do know that we are twins but you are only older than me by 1-year big deal, " howler said as howleen  gave howler the Suspicious look

"Please don't give me that look and no I am not doing that"

"I didn't say anything"

"It doesn't matter now would you please go home,"howler told her as she Crossing her arms and walked away, howler waited for a while to see that if howleen was going home then howler made a run for it down an alleyway and into the secret hideout that carnivorous showed her last week, once in the secret hideout there she was sitting in her boss chair typing away on her iCoffin

"You sure took your time," she said as she put her phone down

"I like to see you try to get away from your nosy sister "

"Okay so are you ready? "She asked getting up from her chair, she walked over to howler and whispered in her ear making her ears perk up as she smirked

"Carnivorous I knew there was a reason why I liked you"
