"Mom! Do you know where my keys are? I thought I just set them on my bed," I holler as I make my way downstairs to the smell of breakfast that I know I will love even more then I love chocolate. As I turn the corner I see my new puppy holding my keys in his mouth wagging his tail playfully with a sparkle in his eye. I turn to my mom silently pleading for her help. She turns away with a chuckle and smirk before reminding me I was the one who wanted him. I take a step towards the bundle of cuteness and he he scurries to hide behind mom who thankfully grabs them from the little fella.

"I told you not to leave anything where he can get it," she says trying to be serious but I can tell she is amused with the situation.

" Ya, ya I will be home after school but then Marley and I are going surfing, love you!" I scream as I speed walk out the door already late cause of the puppy. I climb into the front of my old beat up red and white ford truck that really needs a new paint job, but is still my baby. I start blasting the radio and the current song stuck in my head by Taylor Swift, shake it off comes on. I nod my head to the beat and drive around the block to my best friend Marley's house. As she walks out waving to her parents I can't help but get jealous of how pretty she is. It is like we are polar opposites with her curly flaming red hair and then my wavy dark brown hair. She is pale to the point she looks like an angel and I am just the typical tab Hawaiian. Her like blue eyes everyone loves and my dark brown eyes. She is tall and I am short, you get the point she is perfect and I am not. Her squeal distracts my thinking when she starts singing along. I hit the gas and start the 15 mile drive to civilization.

We belt out lyrics until I see some guys from school running so they won't be late. I slow down and honk pointing to the bed of the truck letting them know they can get it. I wait as the three of them hop in and look to the side to see my best friend suggestively wiggling her eyebrows at me with a sly grin. I start to blush but quickly recover by slapping her arm. As we make our way to school I can't help but glance back to notice there is one unfamiliar face next to my two guy best friends.
