End of the Rope

Chapter One

I rubbed my eyes. It was the day before Choosing Day! It was actually almost Choosing Day! I ran to the mirror on my closet door.

Blonde hair is a mess.

I had dark circles around my swamp green eyes.

My skinny feet felt tired.

I was still my normal, short self.

I went into my closet and pulled out a red top, orange shawl and yellow jeans.

Ugh, they looked disgusting.

What would I choose? What would my results be? I had to find out soon! I HAVE TO KNOW.

I brushed my hair and put it in a braid. I then slipped on my sandals and brushed my teeth. I hopped down the flight of stairs in three hops and sat at the orphanage dining room table.

This place was small, 5 kids and 7 adults. It was in an old house, never found the money for a real place I guess. I was the oldest here, so everyone always says "Hello!".

I scarfed down my oatmeal and hopped into the truck outside. Kelsey was playing a banjo.

I sat and relaxed myself.

I will make it.
