"I got my ticket for the long way round,
Two bottle of whiskey for the way.
and I sure would some sweet company
and I'm leaving tomorrow what do you say
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
you're gonna miss me everywhere
oh your gonna miss me when I'm gone
I got my ticket for the long waay round
it's got the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
it's got sights to give you shivers
but it sure would be prettier with you.
When I' gone
When I'm gone
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk
oh you're gonna miss me when I'm gone"
"Shut up Zoe!" Camilla yelled. Another interesting fact about me I like to sing in the shower. Tonight was my 'big date' with Will. I was really excited he asked me out last week in my Art class. I wonder if he knew that Art was my favourite subject.
"I am sorry. Oh wait I'm not." I yelled back. I could practically hear her rolling her eyes. My room is next to hers so she can hear most of the things say and do. I have the bigger room with an on-suite. I know fancy.
I jump out of the shower, when my feet touch the ground a jolt of shivers explodes up my spine sending goose bumps sailing over my skin. I wrapped my towel around my bare skin and dashed into my room. I noticed immediately that my mum had left a pile on my bed. It was to far for me to see so I dashed over to see what it was. It read:
Zoe,
I am going to the mall in 15 minutes. Make your bed and I will help you pick out an outfit for tonight and I will buy it for you
Love always Mum.
My mum was always so old fashioned- leaving notes like that-but at the same time kind-hearted. I quickly threw on some jeans a t-shirt and a jumper. It was starting to get cold outside and dark at night so I decided not to risk the chance of getting cold. I let my towel flop to the ground and my wavy red hair flow down past my shoulders.
I darted down the stairs to fine mum waiting by the door.
"You took your time" she said
"Yeah well. A girl needs to do what a girl needs to do."
We opened the front door and walked to the car. I hoped in to the passengers seat and turned on the radio. I turned it right down because when I was driving I had it on full blast. I put on capital and waiting until mum had locked the front door. Before she got into the car I hear a cough in the back. I looked back to see Camilla looking at me.
"What are you doing here. It's my turn with mum!" I said
"I just wanted to see what you were up to." I could tell she was lying but still.
We got into the car and drove away towards the mall. Just as we were near the mall mum wasn't looking at the road, the lights turned red and my mum jammed the brakes. It had been raining the day before so we slipped on the wet leaves and went spiralling into another car. All I could remember after that was black......
