Time

Chapter 1

As I'm sitting here at 1:30 in this dentist office with my dad and my sister, I start to wonder what the meaning of life is. I'm zoned out and my sister shoved her phone in my face, she's on Instagram taking a boomerang video. "Abby!" I quietly yell to her. "What?" She responds. "What are you doing?" I ask. "Just smile." She reassures me that she's not sending it out anywhere. She takes the video and then tags me in it and posts it to her Instagram story. I give her a look and she laughs. I then go to check my phone to see if anyone's texted me, "Nope." Summer's just begun and this is how it's starts, at the dentist. My dad had to get his tooth pulled and I have to watch my sister, Abby. I put my phone away and then not even 3 minutes later I'm dying of boredom so I get on my phone and go to Instagram's explore page and start looking through random videos and then I get a text from my girlfriend, Tatyana. It's something about her, every time we talk or I see her, there's this unexplainable feeling I get towards her. She's just everything I've been waiting for in a person and even more. I respond to her text and continue on about my Instagram searching. I get bored of Instagram so I go onto Snapchat,and even that's dry. "Nobody texts me over the summer unless they want something." I think to myself and then laugh because it's somewhat true. After a few minutes of going through people's Snapchat stories I get off of my phone, once again. "How long is this going to take?" I question myself. Today has been so boring, all I've done has been eat chickfila and be in the car to come to the dentist. I'm waiting for something interesting to happen, otherwise all we're doing right now is wasting time. There's not much time so there's no need to waste the time we DO have. I mean life goes by way too fast, I just finished my freshman year of high school. It went by so fast, it was like a lightning strike. I look back on that year, even though it ended only a few days ago, as the best days of my life so far. I know that the rest of high school will be more fun and even better. Time goes by so fast, it's like you grab ahold of it for a set amount of time and then you lose complete control of it and you can't do anything about it, you just lose touch of having control of any time and you have to start living everyday and making those days the best days ever.

Authors Note
This is my first chapter of this story/book and I don't really know where to go with it so I'm just writing what comes to my mind. If you have any ideas please feel free to suggest them in the comments. Have a nice rest of your day/night!
