Chapter 1: You're baby?
"Come on, Maddie! You can do it! All you need to do is get off you lazy butt and start working out!"
I stare horrifically at my best friend ,Chelsey, as she starts "jogging in place". Sometimes, she can be WAY to weird. I look at her as she now starts doing jumping jacks, her pigtails gliding up and down.
" Chels, could you please stop it? If you didn't realize, I'm trying to study. You know, for tomorrow's quiz ." I sigh " Besides, I don't need to work out. My body's fine. See?" I tell as I motion to my body.
" Mmmm hmmmm, yeah. Can you just tell me later?" she said lazily as she continues exercising." I have to do this so I don't become fat and chubby. I mean, it's not fair that you're naturally skinny. Some of us have to work to get our looks."she said.
Sometimes, I get this weird feeling that I'm a daughter of Snow White or something. You know, pitch black hair, fair skin tone.....but it's not real. Just a fairy tale, like always. When I was little, Mom used to read me fairy tale books with princesses like Aurora, Jasmine, Cinderella, Snow White and all the other cheesy Disney princesses.
Snap out of it, Maddie. Mom's not here anymore. You can't bring her back. You might as well stop thinking she'll come to you again. I thought, glancing at the book in my hands. Mom died when I was 6 and even though it's been 11 years, I still miss her more than anything.
"Hey Maddie, I meet this really cute guy yesterday. His name's Conner and he's part of the football team. Gosh, he's just so hot and dreamy and-"
" You should really stop blabbering about this 'Conner' dude. I'm sure you can just do all that in your sleep, not in my face." I interrupt.
" Oops. I forgot that you aren't the 'girly girl who talks about boys and sparkles' girl."she says, saying 'girl' alot.
"Now you made the word girl sound weird." I say, looking at Chelsey with annoyance.
"You know, I think I'll just go home. If Veronica the Witch finds out I'm not there, I won't come out of that house alive." I say, thinking of all the possibilities Veronica could choose from. And when I mention the name Veronica, it means "stepmom" in english.
"Well, good luck , my friend. It was nice knowing you." Chelsey says teasingly as I walk to my car. I plug in my earphones and listen to my favorite song while starting the car. I was just about to take a turn when-
"HONK, HONK !!!!!!!" The other person's car horn blared as I frantically step on the brakes.Everything happened so fast I couldn't comprehend what's happening.I close my eyes, afraid I might die of a car crash.Suddenly, I feel a hard, firm hand clutching my arm.
" Oh my gosh. Please don't hurt me. I'm too young to die. I promise I won't bother you ever again. Just please don't kill me." I say as I start looking timidly at the person grasping my arm.
Oh. My. Freaking. God. I take in the godly presence standing before my very eyes.
He looks like an angel. I think dreamily. Oh no. Am I dead? Is he an actual angel?
" You can stop staring at me now." the guy says cockily.
Now I realize who he is. Please tell me he doesn't know me.Please tell me he doesn't know me...
"Do I know you from somewhere?" He asks.
Oh, come on! Give me a break or something.
"Umm, no you don't! You don't know me and I don't know you. Yeah, never seen you in my entire life." I lie badly as he scrutinizes me.
