Chapter 1

                  December

I shuffled through my crayon box, Pulling out the deep red color,I admired it for a few seconds and than started drawing, My crayon drew pretty straight lines on the smooth white wall of my sisters bedroom wall,But what would really make smooth lines was the dark red marker on my sisters desk, It always just sits there for me to admire,I can never reach it. I pushed the small stool by her vanity up by her  desk chair,I gathered all my strengh and hoisted myself ontop the stool,I grabbed the side of her desk and pulled myself up to her desk chair

I felt so very high,I gulped and grabbed the marker and shimmied myself down the stool and back to the wallI admiringly opened the marker and drew a round shape  on the wall,smilinging proudly i drew a smile and two big eyes, January will be so happy!I thought, Its her birthday and she willlove her present,I drew long wavy hair, and a flimsy body to the wall, I finished my drawing of january.I felt so very happy, January will love this! I smiled broadly,closed the marker and admired the picture,Deep red strokes a big portrait of her,as big as me! I heard januarys voice in the hall, She walked into her room" Yes I would lo-" She stopped talking into ehr phone, I held my breath, Her jaw dropped and so did her phone

as she stared at the wall with me next to it, Her lip began to quiver, I blinked. Than something unexpected happened, She screamed, so loud the whole town could here. everyone rushed to her room to see what was wrong, shaking all over her face was white as a sheet. . .

"How could she? I hate her!  I absolutely despise her! And onmy birthday, Mama its permanent! It won't come off! Its so ugly!' January sobbed. Tears ran down my cheeks as Ilistened behind her closed doors, "Hush,Honey its okay, calm own I sure she didn't mean-" January cut her off"Of course she meant too! She is a little devil! She hates me! I swear she does,Mama! She ruined my birthday.

" She gasped "I am supposed to have friends over tonight! What are they gonna think if they seehearts and snow flakes all over my walls in red! You know I hate red! And its summer! Plus that ugly portrait looks nothing like me!" Mom frowned." January,you must remember, She s only two," January cried harder. Mama left the room stopping to scoop me up," What are we going to do with you?" She said excasperated, I cried and buried my face in her shirt.

Chapter 2

        Novemeber

 "Mama whats wrong with janny?" I asked as she came downstairs."Nothing honey, She is fine." She said smiling. I nodded,not believing her. "Would youlike to help me bake some pie? " I brightened up and nodded. I helped mamaget some ingriedents out, then we mixed together the ingriedents, I grinned,"Ma!ma!" Screamed december from the living room. SHe wailed as mama frowned." I am sorry Novemeber." She rushed to the living room. I sighed

I never get any attention from mama ever since decemeber was born.I sulked my way upstairs and stopped by jan's door,I knocked on it once." Go away!" Sge shouted."Can I come in?" She didnt answer n I opened the door.and shutit behind myself,January was sprawled across her bed with her face buried in a pillow, Her long wavy, and silky blond hair was a knotted mess," I said go awa-" She stopped, as she sat up."Oh,Its you november."She softened."Where is june?" She asked, I frowned, Me and Jan have a strong relationship,despite our very

differnet ages, we both had somehting in commen,We both wished to be the youngest again,to have all the attention,and with both felt hatred for december. But Lately june have been getting to spend a lot more time together and leaving me else, and i felt jealous. "I don't know, Probably outside again." I said sourly. Jan wiped her tears with her sleeve and helped me onto her bed. She stroked my hair and I gathered my confidence. "Whats going on?'  Januarys face fell."What do you mean?" I rolled my eyes." You know,we never get to hang out anymore together, and your always on your phone, and you and june-" I choked. "Oh,November, Sometimes  I would like somebody a bit more my age to hang out with,

but you are right, and i am sorry, how about we have a girls night tonight.Just you and me."  i shifted," Promise?"

"Promise" I grinned and rushed out to pack my stuff, I stopped in her doorway and smiled and said,

"Happy Birthday."

Chapter 3 

                     OcToBeR

I looked around the upside down room, was the room upside down or me? My wavy messy brown hair hung down and my hazel eyes darted around the room,surveying my new upside-down bedroom, "October, October! OCTOBER!" My  feet fell loose and I dropped down from the railing of the bunk bed I had been hanging upside down on, I groaned asI hit the hard ground, July's ahnd flew to her mouth, " Are you okay?" She asked, "I am fine," I stumbled up tomyfeet. "Okay, Then," She burst out laughing Her wavy dark 

Brown hair satperfectly on her shoulders and down her back, her striking green eyes were filled with laughter, Her smile was wide and sweet, and ehr eyelashes were long and dark, Yes,It was definatly true that she was the most beautiful sister, She was the one all the boys came too, even the teenagers! to an eleven year old girl, She was so beatiful and mature she could probably pass as thireen.

I scowled," Won't youjust tell me why you were calling for me?" I asked. She stopped laughing," Oh, yeah. Mama has lunch ready outside."  I nodded and ran down the stairs, realizing my hunger,I rushed out,stopping to kiss mama on the cheek and say thanks as she headed inside,My  white and yellow sundress flailed in the late

July breeze asi climbed up the rope ladderand into our tree house.I shuffled towards the picnic basket stuffed with quickly disspearing food Iputmy hand through notknowing whati was grabbing because my sisters were all gathered around it.Some shoved my hand out, "HEY LISTEN UP! I AM HUNGRY TO YOU KNOW!!!" I shouted. Quckly everyone back up,making a pathe way fro me,"Thank you,Ladys" I curtsied. and took two pieces of lunch cheese a apple, smoked suasage, honey mustard pretzels, a apple juicebox and a chocalate bar, than made myself back to my corner,licking my lips, we all prayed,febuary leading this time, and than duginto our food eagerly, we were all good eaters. June made her

way up the ladder sheepishly, And all eyes landed on her, "June," March said firmly." Papa would not approve of this, He has told you, Thelake is to dangerous," june staredat her feet and i watched intently "But-" She started. " No! No June." March said." Listen to me!  He isn't harming anybody, he is nice in fact he is my friend." she explained. veryone gasped." YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH THE SHARK?!" March shouted. Mama who had been silently by thetree house comingup to give us lemonade droppedher tray.Tears filled June's eyes. "How could you? You promised" She whispered in a hurt voice. And jumped out of the tree house,running to the lake.

Chapter 1

                   September

My eyes were wide as mama ran after june yelling. I starred at march." What have you done?" I asked bitterly. March looked stunned,  I angrily climbed down the ladder, my black hair shimmered as I stomped across the yard and into the house. Oh Ididn't intruduce myself,did I? My name is september clouds month. I am nine years old, and nobody likes me. Nothing like my sister,October, everybody loves her she is unique and cool. everyone overlooks me, I sighed and plopped down on my bed. when  I am older I want to be a explorer. I looked at my walls from the top bunk they were covered with

Pictures of the greatest explorers, and magazine cut outs. I grinned, and sighed at the same time, How could I become a explorer if I am always stuck here? Trust me, having 11 sisters is no piece of cake, Jan is always bossy and moody, December is always naughty and whiny, June Is always outside and she always acts grumpy, october boasts and is messy, july is always stressed out and mad, august is always complaining, febuary is so clumsy, and march  is a tattletale,November is a know it all, april always get us into trouble, and may is jealous of everything.

I yawned and laid down.

and me? I yawnede again and whispered

"I can't listen andd " I yawned once more" I am always sleepy."

                             AUGUST

I groaned. The heat was KILLING me.You could probably roast a egg!I brightened. What a great idea! I rushed inside and opened the fridge,I looked inside and found only oneleft I tooke it out along with a piece of fat bacon,I rushed back outside, I crackedthe egg and torethe abcon on top of it. The egg still looked raw. I shrugged, I was aboutto ieatit when a voice exclaimed."DONT EAT THAT!!!" July yelled; I dropped te slimy egg intommouth and gagged as it slid down my throat. July rushed

Toward me with  a horrified expression."August! Your going to be sick." I blinked."It looked cooked plenty good." I said inoccently, Jumping up,  my  flowy yellow dress blowing in the wind.'Oh um. er- wait inside i will get mama."  And July  rushed off.
