Ellie giggled to herself as she watched Bri go all ga-ga over Zac.
'Hi,' said a voice behind Ellie
'I'm Jessie, Zac sure likes your sister,'
'I'm Ellie, Bri's gone all weird because of him,'
'Do you like Barbies?'
'I love them!'
'Come see my collection, I just got Cowgirl Barbie,'
'Cool...'
Sunny watched Ellie follow her new friend into the Hanson house, then
turned to watch Bri flirting with Zac and Taylor. A hand tapped her on
the shoulder,
'Hi, you're Sunny aren't you?'
'Yup, you must be Isacc,'
'Um, your mum said you had a sister that is staying in Australia,'
'Just during the school terms,'
'How old is she?'
'Seventeen, her name's Andrea,'
Taylor looked around for Ike, he saw him talking with that girl, whatever
her name is, Sammy? Sunny?, yeah that was it, Sunny. He wondered, was it
short for sunshine? Whatever it was, her name couldn't be as pretty as
her. He went over to join their conversation.
'Hi Tay, sick of Bri?' Ike asked,
'No just sick of Zac.'
'Tay this is Sunny,'
'We've met,' Tay and Sunny said at the same time.
Ike decided he would leave the two to talk and went to help his father
with the Barbarque.
'So do you like Tulsa so far?' Tay asked Sunny
'Yeah,'
'What are you friends called?'
'What.......all of them?'
'No, just your two best friends, the ones who you said liked our band,'
'Liked!? they love your band, they are obsessed, everything is Hanson
this, Hanson that,'
'So, what are their names?'
'Kitty and Jude,we've known each other for years,' Sunny looked away,
Taylor asked the question that had been bugging him.......
'What's Sunny short for?'
'Actually it's not short for anything. My real name is Louisa, but
my Gramp said the name didn't suit me and called me his little ray of Sunshine,
the name was shortened to Sunny and it stuck!'
'It suits you,'
'Thanks,'
