Zara's New Life

Chapter 1: Realization and Attack!

As I sat on the couch watching a movie that my parents bought earlier that day, I couldn't help but be engaged in it. It was a great and exciting movie, and the second one in the trilogy. I can't believe that I like these movies, they are for boys, teenage boys for crying out loud. And yet here I am absolutely intrigued and eager to find out what happens next.

With my two cavalier king Charles spaniels curled up beside me asleep, I watched and watched the movie, not looking away from the screen until my mum came over and unplug the power board which had the T.V and DVD player plugged in it.

"MUM!!What did you do that for?" I asked her as I looked from the screen to my mum with the cable hanging from her hand

"After having friends that are girls for two years, you would think you would have become more of a girly girl by now." She answered smiling warmly at me. "Come on it time for dinner and then you have your chores to go on with." To be clear I grew up having boys for friends and it was just in the last two years I got a group of friends that are just girls.

Sighing I got up and made my way to the dining table where my dad and my brother were waiting. I sat down and waited for my mum to bring over  the plates of food. After we finished I excused myself from the table, as I stood my dogs, Kyba and Myra, got off the couch and stood waiting for their dinner. I got the dogs bowls out from underneath the sink and put them on the bench then I went to the cupboard and got the dog biscuits out, I put some in the bowls and then I went to the laundry and the dogs followed. I place the bowls down in front their beds, Kyba and Myra sat down wagging their tails, waiting for me to give the signal for them to eat. I let them eat then I went on with the rest of my chores. I fed the chocks the scraps from dinner,it was starting to get dark and the stars were starting to appear. I went to the shed, man it was cold in there, colder than outside.

"Hey everybody!" I said to the guinea pigs as I entered to their squeals for food.

I check up on the guinea pigs (I don't know why seeing how they're mums) making sure that they had food and water. I shut the shed for the night after giving them some fresh fruit and veg, topping up their grain and water. I looked over at the choock pen, the choocks were inside their little house now. I went and locked them in for the night before heading back inside.

Kyba and Myra had finished their dinner and were eagerly waiting to be let out for a few minuets. I let them out, shutting the door behind them. I made my way to the living room hoping to continue the movie I was watching but I was beaten to the T.V by my brother. Sighing I wentback to the laundry and let the dogs back in then I went to my room.I fell onto my bed sighing as I looked out the window. I glanced over at my alarm clock, it was quarter past eight already. Sighing again Ipushed myself up and off my bed, I made my way to my dresser and gotout my p.j's and made my way to the bathroom. I yelled out to my family saying that I'm having a shower.

AfterI finished having a shower, I went back to my room. I was so tiered for some reason. I dropped my clothes and got into bed, I glanced at my clock, it was only nine o'clock. I let my eye lids fall, letting the darkness of sleep take over.

The next morning I woke up to my alarm clock going off, telling me it was time to get up. I groaned and rolled over to stop the alarm. It took a couple goes to finally hit the right button. I rubbed my face before finally getting out of bed.

I got up, went to the dresser, got out my school clothes and got dressed. I brushed my hair before pulling it back and putting it into a neat pony tail and holding back any stray bits that weren't long enough to be pulled back in the pony tail with some hair clips.
