Chapter One: At The Beginning

I was sitting at my desk painting my toenails metallic green. My fan was pointed at my feet for a super dry method. It really works too! Today was the weekend, Sunday to be exact. My homework was sitting in some corner in my room, sad and neglected. I mean, really, who wants to waste a perfectly good weekend with homework? A daydream started up; spending the day at the mall with my friends, unlimited money, the works. Ahhhh.

At that moment, my phone deciding to ring. Grumbling about perfect timing, I reluctantly answered it.

"Hey girl! What's up?" A familiar voice came through the speaker.

"Hey Deena! Nothin' much at the moment. You?" Deena had been my best friend since, like, forever. The two toddlers, kindergarten pals, elementary amigos, middle school B.F.F.'s, and now high school buds.

"I was thinking about heading to the mall. You up for it Val?" Yup, that's me. Valerie Walker, fashion extraordinaire. I have strawberry blonde hair in layers down to my shoulders and pretty hazel eyes. And now, back to the conversation, if you remember any of it that is.

"I am always ready to shop. Can you pick me up in ten?"

"Sure thing. See you then!" Deena hung up and I closed my phone. Seemed like fantasty had become reality. I liked it! One quick tap told me my toes were dry, so I slipped on a pair of black boots, grabbed my purse, did a once over, (hair looking nice, makeup fine, knee length jean skirt, navy blue star tee-shirt, and the black boots. Perfect!) and hurried out the door.

Once I got to the bottom landing, I sprinted for the door, yelling over my shoulder "Hey, Gramps! I'm going to the mall with Deena! " In a moment Gramps was behind me. He does that sometimes, and frankly, it scares me. One moment he's not there, the next moment he is. But I love him all the same. That kinda happens when you live with someone. My parents mysteriously disappeared around the time I was born, no evidence or clues for anything. That left my grandpa as my legal caretaker.

"Did you finish the reading report for school?" Gramps asked. I should have known. Gramps is very strict on reading. YOU MUST READ!!!! That's pretty much his attitude. Read this! Read that! Read more! Sheesh. Give me a break.

"No Grandpa. I'm almost done with the third book though. Please!!!!!" I was begging. On my knees, theoretically.

"No" That one word crushed me. I trudged back to my room, feeling dejected. As I walked, Gramps called out "And call your friend, Meesha, too. To tell her you can't come!"

"It's Deena!" I shouted, in one pitiful attempt at pride. I slumped at my desk, picked up Eclipse, found my place, and started reading. At school, we were doing a mythical creatures unit. Each of us had to pick a book with a mythical main character. I chose Twilight (Vampires! Duh!), little did I know, but I would have to read the entire series of Twilight! Moan. I was only on Eclipse and there was still Breaking Dawn to read! I was not looking forward to this evening.

I read all the way through dinner and well past 10 o' clock. I don't know when, probably towards the end of Breaking Dawn, I fell asleep. And while I slept, the world began to spin.

How did you like it? Is it good? Tell me! I'll try to post the next chapter soon!

Love, Alyss
