Life is Hard

Chapter 1

Maggie's POV

I was sitting on top of the hill. Drinking tea, listening to music and watching the sunset. My boxer, Lollipop, came trotting up beside me.

"Hey baby girl." I said, rubbing her tummy as she sat down.

She licked my hand. She's about 3. We, I, adopted her from a shelter. She was about to be put to sleep. She was 1 then. I've always have loved animals. Dogs I prefer. I have a cat. His name is Henry. He's a long, fat cat. He's really lazy. I call him fatty. He's 5. My mom hates Lollipop. She drools everywhere. I think it's cute. She sleeps in my room, so does Henry. I picked up my phone. It was a text, from Noel. I freaked out.

Him: "Hey"

Me: "Heyy." I replied.

(You get the point of how it goes) "Are you doing anything tomorrow night?"

My mind blew. Was he asking me out? "Nope. Why?"

"Just wondering :/"

"You sure?"

"There's this party. I need someone to go with me. Your the best choice."

This made me feel good. But bad at the same time. "I'd love to go with you."

"Cool. I'll pick you up at 7:30"

"Ok, see ya at school tomorrow."

"Bye."

I never asked my parents. I thought to myself, Oh well, I'll say I'm going to a party with Laura.

I ran inside and into my room, Lollipop followed. I slammed my door shut. I put on a pair of checkered red and black shorts with a oversized BajanCanadian t-shirt. I set my glasses down carefully on my nightstand. I slipped into bed. Lollipop laid by my feet. Henry slept by my side.

"Night." I said to Lollipop and Henry.

I kissed Henry on the head. I pull the covers up and shut my eyes. I fell into a deep sleep.
