Tragedy girl

I

My feet were pounding on the foot path. 5 seconds of summer blasted through my ear phones. I run past the dairy and down onto Te Ngae road. It was a cold Autumn evening and the sinking sun was casting an orange light show across the sky. Turning the clouds into candy floss. I got to the traffic lights and push a silver button for the pedestrian crossing. I caught my breath while i waited, pushed my straying blonde fringe behind my ears and changed the song on my iPod. Im kind of getting sick of 'she looks so perfect'.

The little pedestrian man turned green and i started jogging across the road. A black beaten up car came squealing round the corner and went through the red light, nearly hitting me.
"Hey watch where you're going asshole!" A girl behind me yelled. I turned around and saw Laura. My best friend. Her red hair was curled perfectly and she was wearing white jeans and a floral crop top.
"Hey girl, saw you run past my house," she said. I pulled out my ear phones.
"Hey i was just on a run. Do you want to meet up at Starbucks later, im training for the running festival." I explained. Laura looked a little annoyed that i didnt want to hang out with her then but....
"Oh sure, tomorrow at 11?" She asked.
"Yeah okay, c'ya then," i ran off down Tennyson drive to do my usual running loop.

When i got home i jumped straight in the shower. The cool water refreshed me. Yes I take cold showers. My mum was making dinner in the kitchen, meat balls. Ryley runs up to me and hugs me.
"What's this for? this is unusual!" i said with a giggle. She lets go and looked me directly in the eyes.
"I saw that car nearly hit you. Ryan was dropping me off and i saw you nearly get hit," Ryan is her 'friend' they met last year in intermediate. Im pretty sure they are together; or at least they will be soon.
"Oh im okay dont worry" i said grabbing my laptop off the dining table.
"Call me when dinners ready, I'll be upstairs." i then run up the flight of stairs into my room.

My room has plain white walls with posters covering two of them. One of the walls is a complete cork board so i can pin all my stuff on them, mainly all the plans of stories i never finish. And the other one is white with a peice of art above my double bed.

When you walk into my room, you are greeted by a wall of posters and opposite that wall is another poster wall but i have a built in closet there. Too the right is my cork board wall with a corner desk in the corner with papers and books scattered across it. Next to that is the only tidy thing in my room: my book shelf; all nice and orginised with series together and alphabetical order. My books are my pride and joy. Then opposite that wall is my plain bed and plain wall with art peice.

I threw my self and my laptop onto my heavenly bed and turned on my music. 5sos. I decided its about time i tidyed my room sooooo i did that. Yes my life is so interesting. After about half an hour, mum called from downs stairs that dinners ready.

It got quite quiet with a house of three girls. And we are all sensible, shy girls. We sat in silence. It wasnt an awkward silence just a tired relieved silence. The day is over we can relax and eat in peace-unfortunatly not. The door bell rang and mum got up to get it.
"It's a man from work, i invited him here and his children are coming so please behave." She opened the door and put on the brightest smile i had ever seen her wear since dad left. 'This guy must be special' i thought.

He had blonde hair that was neatly cut and blue eyes. His children- a girl maybe 10 or 11, another girl probably a year younger than me and a boy, the same age as me. I knew this family well, but mum didnt know that. I quickly scoffed down my last few mouthfuls and whispered to Ryley,
"Please hang out with the girls, i know the guy sooooo," i smiled at Lucas and together we walked upstairs to my room.

"You should really tell your mum. we have been together nearly 6 months!" Lucas said sitting on my bed with me and slinking his arm over my shoulder.
"Yeah I know i just, i dont know how she'll react. My last boyfriend... she didnt take that so well...." I replied. I leaned in closer to Lucas and grabbed his other hand. Hes so gentle and kind like the BFG. He obviously isn't that big but hes about a foot taller that me and i look like a scrawny 13 year old next to him!
"We should tell her in a nice way; to show her we really care about eachother and that we respect her enough to tell her properly," Lucas suggests.
"I guess so, maybe tomorrow after lunch i could take my mum to 'Abracadabra' or something and you could meet us there." Abracadabra is my mums favourite restaurant; we go there for every special dinner (which isn't often.) Lucas nodded and let go of my hand.
"Lets go be social." He decided. He helps me up and we go down stairs to the rest of mine and his family.
