*Lindsey's POV*

"Mom, please Dont be mad!" I say listening to my disappointed mother.

"Dont be mad? Lindsey, you haven't done your chores correctly in over a month!" She said, throwing her  arms in the air.

"I swear ill do better next time! Please give me a another chance!" I pleaded.

" There never is a next time with you! And your all out of chances. As a matter of fact, I'd like to have all your electronics. Your laptop, your phone, everything! I'll take it all!" She says.

"FINE." I say with my voice raised a little and storm away to collect my things.

                  -----------------------
A few hours later I find myself finishing what my mother told me to do and thought  " I need to get out of this house". I make sure my chores are done to my mothers liking and ask her if I can walk down to the library. She OK's it and I changed into leggings and my favorite purple shirt that buttons down half way.Then I grab my bag and fill up a water bottle. After that, I put on my shoes and start walking in the direction of the library.

Its not a hot day. Although you can still feel the high humidity. Its mostly cloudy, with 100% chance of thunder storms later on.( I love rain, but thunder makes me jump. So I guess I'm scared of it..)

I take a sip of my water bottle and notice something large fly by. Was it a crane? I Dont know, but whatever it was....its gone now. I brush it off and continue my walk.

I enter the library and head straight to the basement where the children's books are.

I know, a 16 year old going to the children's section is a bit off, but a certain story always brings me back. "Peter Pan".  I pick my favorite version and make my way to the check out.

"Well hello, Lindsey." The nice librarian says. "Hey Nancy! I just wanted to check out this book." I say handing her the book.

"Peter Pan again? You've checked it out like 17 times!" She exclaimed.

"18" I correct. "Its such a great book!"

"If you say so." She said with a half smile. She handed me my book and my card. I put them both in my bag, said goodbye, and walked twords the exit.

By the time I got out of the library, it had already started raining, so I picked up the pace and ran home.

                    ---------------------

I walked in the front door, kicked off my shoes, and took a deep breath. Finally out of the rain.

I walk in the kitchen to find my mom a bit upset. "H-hey mom, whats up?" I asked with a shakey voice. "You didn't clean the kitchen right, again!" She said angerly.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused. "Look" she says pointing to the sink.

I look over and find half the sink full of clean, drying dishes I had left.

"Oh, I'll fix that..right now." I say, putting my bag down on the counter causing my book to slide out a little.

"Peter Pan? Really? When are you ever going to grow up?" My mom said as she walked upstairs.

             If I where in Neverland,I wouldn't have to...
