• Chapter One-
    The loud buzzing of my alarm clock woke me up at 6:00a.m,like any other morning and I slammed down the little red button to stop it.I sat up slowly in my ran-sacked bed and rubbed my eyes,yawning.I shoved the thick quilt off my legs and got out of bed.
    "Good morning mom,dad", I called softly,as I walked into the kitchen. Taking a small round bowl out of the cupboard,and the raisin bran from the pantry,I sat down.I quickly doused the cereal with milk and dug in.
    "So, how are you two this morning?", I asked my parents. They replied with a grunt. Scooping up the last raisin, I walked to my cramped bathroom,squirting a blob of minty toothpaste onto my toothbrush. Finishing cleaning my teeth I stepped into the shower,turning on the hot water.I took my time, letting the steaming water relax my body. Finally I turned off the water and wrapped my fluffy red towel around me. I dried down my body and selected a simple outfit.A T-shirt and some old jeans.
    "Bye mom,bye dad!", I yelled as I dashed out the front door,just catching the school bus. Unfortunately my best friend Meagan was sitting by her beloved boyfriend, Nick. Leaving me to be forced to sit next to Shaun Wood, the soul most aggravating person alive,or at least thats how I saw it.I glared at her, she looked at me mouthing "I'm sorry" quickly, then turning back to Nick.
    "So what did you have for breakfast this morning?" Shaun asked loudly. Perfect.
    " What's it to you?", I replied coldly,hoping he wouldn't reply.
    " I just wanna know!!"He whined.
    " Fine, I had raisin bran." I said.
    "That's nice. So what did your pet have for breakfast?",He asked in that obnoxious voice of his.
    " I don't have a pet,Shaun",I replied looking out the window.
    "You sure?",he asked.
    "I'm pretty darn sure"
    " Are you really sure?"
    "Yes,I'm sure"
    "Are you really, really sur-!"
    My hand was clenched into a fist,not three inches away from his face.
    "I'm sure",I said darkly. His mouth shut and he looked away,starting a new conversation with someone on the other side of the bus. Suddenly the bus came to a stop and e were at school. I stood up quickly and stomped out of the bus, and onto the yellow grass outside. I waited patiently for Meagan to come out, my arms crossed in "your in trouble" position. Finally she came out, hand in hand with Nick. I gave her the death glare and she told Nick to meet her later.
    "Sorry about that,Liz"
    " Aw never mind, it's ok."
