Chapter 1
First Chapter! Warning! Grammar will not be perfect!
" For the last fucking time Gray, I'm not in the mood for cuddling." I mutter.
" Aw babe, but I love your cuddles." Gray says out loud.
I groan, and I cave into Gray's puppy dog eyes. I thought watching these Disney movies would make me feel better, apparently not, the only thing these movies have done was make my standards for guys higher. I knew they wouldn't be my knight and shining armor. But tall and handsome? Don't mind if I do.
" Hey Gray, do you think we can eat out someplace? My mother is never home, so could we try out this new Korean restaurant downtown?" Gray suggest." Well, it wouldn't hurt to try I guess. But I'm definitely not paying." I call out.
I escape from Gray's bear like cuddles and head upstairs to prep for dinner.
" Decisions, decisions." I whisper to myself as I go upstairs.
I quickly put my hair in a bun, and quickly put on lipstick. I stare at the mirror and debate whether or not if I should change what I'm wearing. I mean, shorts and tank top won't hurt in this humid weather right? I let out a huff of air and make my way downstairs.
" Finally, you girls take forever to get ready." Gray complains.
" That literally took 2 minutes, and let's go, I'm hungry." I speak out.
I hear Gray mumble a few curses and he pulls out his keys.
" Hey put on your damn seatbelt." Gray says.
" Not in the mood, besides, what are the chances of us getting in a car crash?" I spit out.
The heat in the car makes me sweat. I wince a little as the heat gets to my skin. I hear the engine start and we're off. I reach out for the radio and Gray slaps my hand.
" You're not controlling anything until you tell me what you were doing with your friends." Gray scolds.
I scoff, " Oh please, Greg and I don't do crap except hang out." I argue.
" That's bullshit, you and I both know you care about him more than me. Why would you care about Greg, a boy who can't even tie his shoes, than a man who can protect you and care for you?" He answers back.
" Shut up and drive." I say coldly.
I sigh out of stress and stare out the window. It's times like these that I regret dating him. But he comes around. Well, Gray comes around sometimes, but there's always that chance. He never listens to me, but I listen to him. How is that any fair?
" ASTRID LOOK OUT!" Gray yells.
The next thing I knew I was slammed and tossed and thrown around in the car like a rag doll. I heard ringing in my head, the sounds of police cars and ambulances fill my head. I think in my head and yell mentally, Oh my God.
I open my eyes, I felt no pain, but I felt a beating headache in my head. I look up and I hear a voice.
" Miss Astrid Cheng, on March 21st as of 2012, you are dead. But you got to heaven yay!" A voice says.
" Yay." I deadpan.
" Well moving on, you died in a car crash, but your boyfriend Gray survived thankfully. Sadly you didn't, obviously. But you have a 2nd chance. Judging from your past life, your boyfriend has been awfully sinful to you, and sadly you were too blind to see it. Your family isn't great either, and your grades. Well I will never say anything about your grades as I am God himself, and I shall not insult you. Back to the point, you have a 2nd chance of coming back to Earth as you. But, for this to happen, you will have to come down as an angel, and make somebody other than Gray fall in love with you. Hopefully this won't be a challenge for you, but you never know. Also, all of this has to be done in a year, and when you come down as an angel nobody will know you, not even Gray or your family. It is your job to make somebody love you in less than a year, but if you don't, you will come right back to heaven and that's it. I will give you this rulebook and you will head back to Earth shortly." God explains.
Well crap, that's a lot of stuff to do. I sigh in relief that I have a 2nd chance at life. But making somebody fall in love with me within a year? That's harsh. But I am Astrid, I can do anything. I notice myself traveling back to Earth, and my journey as an angel begins.

Well, that was fun. Hopefully the story is not too confusing. If it is ask questions, and I will answer them. Sorry about the grammar, I'm not a grammar expert as I have expressed before. Hopefully you enjoyed this story, and you will join me on Astrid's Story of love and adventure.
