"My name is Dove O'donnell. I'm currently 15 years old, from New york, or I guess derry for the past almost five years. A troubled town for about 25 years, in a tiny corner of northern irela-"

**Psssssh**

Suddenly Dove was caught off by the sound of water hitting the hard wood floors. Slowly getting up from her bed and looking around to see a little bernese mountain dog, Bear, smiling back up at her with a puddle of what she could only hope to be water, directly next to them. "Oh for fucks sake Bear."

Dove quickly gets out of bed cleaning up after her dog and starting to play 'Northern Italy' on her record player, shortly after opening her closet doors to get her uniform. "Long time no see." tilting her head with slight annoyance. She took off her pajamas slipping into the plaid skirt, tying her tie and then covering it up with her sweater.

"oh, to be in Northern Italy, With my love again. Oh, it would just be you and me in Northern Italy, again." Dove sang with the song styling her infamous hair style with bouncy curls, the fronts being pulled back into a small ponytail with a black bow. "How about some food Bear?" quickly going down the steps of the cottage farm home. "Good morning mom, how's the book coming along?" dove asks while feeding the impatient puppy. "Well I had a wee bit of writer's block but after feeding the cows and taking a short trail ride I'm finally on my path." Faidh smiles at her daughter taking a sip from her coffee. "That's good, I'm gonna head out to meet with Erin, Clare and Orla. I'll see you after school."

"I wanted to, Clare, but me ma wouldn't let me" Erin says looking down at clare. "Well I'm not going to be an individual on me own" the shorter blonde next to her responds. The 4 girls, Clare and Erin in the front and Orla and Dove in the back. "I don't know why you guys would want to wear denim jackets anyway. You would just get dress coded anyways and knowing Sister Michael detention." the dark brunette says window shopping on their way to dennis's. "It's not about the- you know, look. It's about the message" the tall blonde says with her 'writer's passion' voice. "And what exactly is that message?" question Dove as they walk through 'Dennis's Wee Shop' doors, not getting an answer in return.

In the 2 minutes they've been in the shop picking up candies Clare had been staring at all the sweets Erin had picked up. "You're not getting anything?" Erin looks down, confused by the girl's action. "Sure , Aren't I doing this fast for ethiopia." Will you sponsor me?" Clare asks with a glimmer in her eye, not going unnoticed by the quiet girl behind. "Oh that reminds me, Clare." dove dug into her blazer pocket. "Here you go 5 pound'."

"Are you serious?!" Clare asks excitedly, as she had gotten more money then she thought she would. "Thank you so much Dovey. What about you erin?" Erin sighs quite loudly. "How much?" Erin digs into her pocket ready to pull out only a few pence. "2 pound." "2 POUND!? Catch yourself on." "What's happening there is really lousy, Erin. There is this wee Fella named kamal..." Dove had already paid for her sweets, Noticing the line start to build up behind them, her anxiety bubbled up as she started to dig her black acrylic nails into her palms while counting up by 5's. "Does he really just enjoy wells, aye." Orla said as Dove came back to reality. "Twenty-five miles? How far is that?"

"Far." Clare replies bluntly. "Like, how far are we talking? From here to buncrana?"

"More like here to ballybofey" Dove said after doing some fairly quick-bad math in her head. "Shut up. From here to ballybofey? Surely you'd be knackered." Erin said still not understanding as to why she should donate 2 pounds for a kid she didn't know. "Kamal is knackered." "Will you sponsor me or not?" Clare raised her voice almost, getting impatient with the girl. "Fine-" Erin started to empty out the candy, when all of the sudden Dennis came behind the counter. Causing Dove to jump and stop her digging. "You touch them, you buy them." "I don't think that's a law."
