Hey this is my new story! I may continue but I don't know :L it depends on if I have time and what people think, that is if anyone is actually reading this!

This is just the prologue but tell me what you think, and whether it's worth continuing or if I should just give up and not write anymore. If you think i should continue let me know, the title is a work in progress though, as i wasn't sure :L let me know if you think of a better one.

I think I should shut up now and let you read it :D

Prologue

Hi my name is Erin Wheeler; I'm your average 15 year old from England. There's nothing special I'm just me.

"Erin come down here, we need to talk!" my mum yelled from downstairs.  

'God it's the first day of the summer vacation, can't she just let me sleep' I thought bitterly. "Erin get up now, I'm not going to tell you again!" my mother said desperately.

Sighing I got up and yelled back down the stairs to her, "coming mother" she hated when I called her mother, I always found so much amusement in it though! :D

I quickly got dressed and made my way downstairs to listen to whatever my mum had to say that was so important it needed to be said at....wait what time is it? I looked at the clock on the wall to check and the time read 07:30; I couldn't believe what I read at first; so much so that I had to do a double-take. What I read the first time was the real time? I was really up at 7:30 on a Saturday?!? This really must be important for my mum to disturb my well deserved sleep.  

Although I don't seem like it I'm a bit of what some people would call a nerd, I try to act like I'm not but we all know I really am. Not to brag or anything but I'm a straight 'A' student excelling in all of my classes, yet I still know how to be to-cool-to-care, seriously people wouldn't know I'm smart if they didn't know me personally as all they would see is a great big goof ball! It's all a part of the act I started in my 3rd year at high school, as a way of standing out, but also fitting in at the same time, does that even make sense? 

God I don't think I'm even making sense to myself anymore, I seriously need to go back to bed and sleep for a few more hours at least. I hate being up this early on a Saturday, ugh I really just need to get the conversation over with and go back to sleep.

"-rin, Erin, ERIN! Snap out of it." my mom said waving a hand in front of my face startling me a little as she broke me from my thoughts. "Where'd you go just now?" she asked curiosity and concern in her voice although her eyes portrayed amusement.

"Huh?" was my bright idea, way to go Erin; I mentally slapped myself for being so stupid before turning to look at my mum again. "Oh, nowhere I was just thinking about going back to bed again." I admitted sheepishly.

My mum looked at me with a disapproving stare and she shook her head, she never really got why I could stop in bed till so late yet I do 'nothing all day' as she puts it. "Erin, look I'm not too bothered about that right now," oh god this must be something serious if she's not bothering me about being lazy, "will you please come and sit down as this news that I have may shock you a bit, it may even make you angry but I just want you to know that I love you and I'll understand." My mum looked slightly guilty, I started to get nervous now, a million different possibilities passing through my mind as to why she would be acting this way. "Honey, Erin sweetie I-"
