Chapter One
As I woke, warm sun
rays heated my cool face and dust hung meaninglessly in the clear
air. Groggily, I sat up from my comfterable dark blue bedding,
stretching all limbs. My room was an absoloute tip - spilt
glasses on my oak dresser, clothes laying messily on my light
blue carpet, art frames tilted on my indigo wall. As I rubbed my
sleep-filled green eyes, I sighed at the state of my room. I had
to clean it. No way were my friends coming round tomorrow with my
room looking like this. I decided I would relax first and clean
up later, my body was too tired at the moment.
Whilst I brushed off some loose thread on my white cow-printed
babygrow pyjamas, I bounced downstairs into the kitchen where my
mum, Lys, was wearing peach-pink silk pyjamas and preparing what
smelled like a delicious breakfast. "What smells so
good?" I asked heavenly, the gorgeous smells making me
smile. She turned around, whisking some mixture in a large mixing
bowl. "Muffins, pancakes, waffles and fruit!" she
chirped, flashing her pearl white teeth, blowing a loose strand
of her dark brown shoulder-length hair to the side. I strolled
over to the counter and poured myself a fresh glass of tropical
juice, then chugged it down. It felt so good to have a smooth
liquid trickling down my parched throat. Mum had seemed to finish
her masterpiece, so she laid it all out on a clean plate then set
it out neatly onto our wooden table. I sat down hungrily and
hurtled the food down my mouth like a tornado spinning up a
house. "So," mum happily started. "Whats on the
agenda for my Raisy-Paisy today?"
"My name is Rai. I hate it when you call me
Raisy-Paisy." I nudged her, grinning. "Well, uh, just
the usual. But later I have to clean my room." I added while
chewing on a scrumcious piece of waffle. Mum sighed, playing with
her food drowsily. She looked up at me and raised a
perfectly-shaped dark eyebrow. "Look, Rai, I don't want
you to keep staying at home all day. Go out, feel the sunshine,
get some fresh air! I mean, for pete’s sake Rai
you’re 12. Wait - I'll tell you what, go and take Bower
for a walk!" she suggested joyfully. I groaned with enthasis
but then dropped my fork - my plate completely wiped - and
nodded, defeated. As if on cue, Bower the cute pug scampered into
the room and jumped up at me. I played with him merrily for a
while, then went upstairs to get ready.
Not hurrying in the slighest, I slowly walked up the stairs and
into my sky-to-dark blue room. I stripped off my babygrow and
opened my oak wardrobe, scanning each rack, each colour, each
design. After what seemed like hours, I finally picked out a
yellow floral print summer dress and yellow flipflops, complete
with a yellow flower headband and yellow bangles. Yellow was the
most fashionable colour here in Roseland, because it is always so
scorching! Down here in Lockhart Lane, everyone knows everyone
and it is such a sweet place - beautiful flowers printed across
the land, vibrant green grass, a piercing blue sky, juicy fruit
growing in every corner. I swished the clothes to one side and
brushed my luscious, long curly blonde hair whilst I rubbed my
lightly tanned skin with a high SPF suncream and applied a soft
cherry-tasting lipbalm to my full, pink lips. After multitasking
I tugged inside the sundress, slipped on the flipflops, adjusted
the headband and threw on the shiny bangles. Quickly, I snatched
the bad boy spiked leash from inside my bedside table then
clambered over some clothes that were thrown on the floor to get
back downstairs. When I arrived I shouted to Bower "Walkies!
C'mon boy!" almost immediately he appeared at my side,
jumping and wiggling his little tail rapidly. Gently, I attatched
the leash to his cute yellow collar which wrapped perfectly
around his fluffy brown coat. "See-ya mum and dad, back in a
few!" I yelled up the stairs. Dad, Oliver, was still
sleeping, of course. That man could sleep
forever.
So that's my first story!
