Hi, my name is Rachel, and this is my
first day at Virginia. My parents, my
siblings, and I all moved here from a
a small town in Missouri, with all the
hills, my mom got a big-time job, so we
had to
move. I wouldn't say I'm not happy with
where we live now, but I do miss laying
down by the creek listening to the birds
sing. Ever since the move here, I have
had the same dream every night. A
strange dream, one that sends a shiver
down ones spine.
I shoot up after having the same
dream again, groaning, I pick up my
phone and check the time, shocked,
"What, it's only 3 a.m.,"
I sit and play on my phone till
eventually, I start to doze off, this time,
No dream, just darkness.
Waking up to a knock on the door, I
sit up and process my surroundings. I'm
still getting used to the new house.
"I'm up,"
I try my best to scream out as I hear a
giggle on the other side of my door.
Rolling my eyes, I got out of bed and
slowly shuffled to my closet.
"Never nothing good to wear is there,
I'm off to a great start,"
My voice thick of sarcasm I chuckle to
myself, and get ready for an amazing
first day at a new school.
Thirty minutes later, I hear a scream
coming from downstairs. It was my
mother.
"Rachel, get down here, or you're going
to be late to school on your first day."
Throwing my clothes on, I start running
down the stairs.
"Coming, mom!"
I didn't want to be late, but my gut felt
weary, off, and I didn't like that feeling.
"I'm ready when you are mom,"
My mother was a short woman with
long dark hair and green eyes. I looked a
lot like her, but I'm taller than her by a
few inches. My sisters got more from
dad. They are short like mom, but have a
light brown hair tone. Vicky has Hazel
eyes and Veronica has a cream brown.
Both my sisters were very beautiful
and can get really annoying.
Walking outside to the car, Veronica
shoots me a smile, and Vicky, being
Vicky flipped me off, glaring at me with
the "you better hurry up." Look. My lip
curled up, only making her glare harder
as I slowed my pace to almost that of a
snail.
SORRY IF THE CHAPTER IS BAD OR TOO SHORT HONESTY, IT'S REALLY HARD FOR MY BRAIN TO FUNCTUON AS IT IS. I ALSO KNOW MY GRAMMER IS NOT SO GOOD.
IT IS CURRENTLY 3:02 IN THE MORNING AND I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SINCE 2.A.M. I WILL CONTINUE TO WRITE THE BEST I CAN.
HOPE YOU ENJOY AND COMMENT IF I COULD DO ANYTHING BETTER AND COMMENT WHAT YOU THINK OF THE FIRST CHAPTER. :)))
