The Only Exception

Chapter 1:

"Wanna go to the mall tonight?"my best friend Samantha asked."Sure"I replied. Ever since I moved in with my Aunt Eleanor,Sam(her nickname) has been there for me. Shes really the only friend I have."Alright I gotta go,I'll text you" she said as she got onto her bus. I usually walk home from school,but sometimes Eleanor picks me up .I didn't see her or get a text so I started to walk across the school yard. I live in a neighborhood right behind the school .Once I was across the school yard there is rows of back yards lining it. I always cut through Miss.Johnson' s backyard. Only because I know her well and because of her beautiful garden. If there was ever an"extreme gardening" contest she would win. Mrs. Johnson has everything from bushes shaped like hearts to beautiful roses.

"Hello there sweetie" she said as she watered some daisies."Hi"I said as I approached her."Want some lemonade and cookies freshly squeezed,freshly baked"she said with a Cheshire smile."Uh sure"I said I followed her to a small table near the back door. I sat down and grabbed a cookie and took a bite .The warm cookie tasted like a bite of heaven,the chocolate melted in my mouth as well as my hand."Oh here's some napkins honey"she said looking at my chocolate covered hands,handing me a napkin. Her white hair pulled up in a low bun glistened in the sun."Thanks"I said giving her a reassuring smile."How was school?"she said pouring me a glass of lemonade. I could tell she was trying to make a conversation with me."Fine,I'm going to the mall with Sam later"I said."That's good"she said.

"I better get going"I said as I finished my second cookie."Oh alright dear"she said "Don't want El to be worried"."Ya"I said as I got up from the table and grabbed my bag"Bye thanks for the delicious cookies and lemonade"."No problem dear"

"Took you long enough" Eleanor said as I walked through the back door. She was slicing up strawberries and putting them into a bowl of other assorted berries ."I stopped at Mrs .Johnson' s for awhile"I reassured her "Um can I go to the mall later?With Sam?" I said stealing a berry from the bowl."Yeah" she said taking out whip cream from the fridge and spraying it in her mouth. I giggled. My Aunt Eleanor was awesome. She wasn't uptight or anything and she still was cool. I could easily go talk to her about a problem."Want some?"she asked after she swallowed the whip cream."No thanks"I said laughing at her immaturity.

As climbed the stairs and went to my room. I slipped my bag off my shoulder,and checked the time.4:35.I looked around my room for my iPod. Once I found it I unraveled the earbuds which were wrapped tightly around the iPod .I then plugged my it into my speakers. They weren't the best quality but they worked fine .I hit shuffle and let it play. The first song to play was The Only Exception by Paramore. My love for music is like no other.I listen to it all the time. From songs with catchy beats,or inspiring words. I even listen to it as I sleep with my earbuds in. Eleanor thinks I'm crazy. I also write lyrics everywhere. On my walls,on my jeans,notebooks,binders,school papers,and even tests. Sometimes my teachers get mad but others don't.

I took a look at myself in the mirror. I had long golden blond hair that reached down halfway between my armpits and belly button. My dark skinny jeans fit my skinny legs just right .I have on a black t -shirt with a light purple scarf with light purple converse .Oh how I love converse I have at least 8 pairs. All have writing on the white part of the toe. Lastly I looked at my face. I have the weirdest eye color on the face of this earth. My eyes are a blue-violet color. I cannot tell you how many people that have asked me "Do you wear contacts?".Eleanor and Sam think they are beautiful but honestly I think it's weird."you have your moms eyes"Eleanor always tells me. They looked prettier on my mother. In the mirror I also see a hurt face with a look of sadness,hurt,fright,and lonelyness staring back at me.
