Ethery's P.O.V

I fling myself up when a bright light flashes in my eye. Wait! A bright light... I turn my head looking into the darkness to see if I can really see anything. Nope! Nothing, probably my imagination. Heh heh heh...

I shake my head to clear my thoughts before walking down the hall. Without tripping! I walk into the kitchen realizing I haven't eaten anything in a bit. I reach into the fridge and grab whatever I find and immediately eat it. Turns out it was bologna.

I quickly walk into the living room and sit on the couch while munching away. The silence is slowly eating away at me. "Brrinng...Brrriinnnng!" My phone started to spazz out. I jerked up and grabbed it out of my pocket. I quickly told Kenzie," Answer the call." The phone stopped ringing as I put it to my ear. "Hello, Ethery?" I smiled at Chris's voice and said,"Hey, what's up?" There was a shuffling noise in the background as he said, "Would you like to meet me at the Bristol Park and hang out with me and my mates?" I laughed as I heard a loud crash and said, "Sure! I'll meet you there in uhh... thirty minutes!" He chuckled and said, "Okay see you then." Then the line went dead as he hung up.

I smiled and put my phone in my pocket. I ran down the hall and into the bathroom to wash my face and clean my teeth. I grabbed a towel from the cabinet below the sink and my toothbrush and toothpaste. I splash some water on my face and then wipe it away with the towel. After that I brush my teeth and my hair.

I quickly run to the front door... I stop before I leave and walk back over to the couch and grab my guitar. Then I run out the door, locking it on my way. I slip down the sidewalk with ease as I run to the park. I sit under the same tree, hoping he will find me.

I start strumming and singing a bit in German, not in English because I still like German better. Soon enough I strum with my eyes closed, the lyrics flowing out of my mouth. A hand suddenly taps me on the shoulder. I jump up and turn toward the person. I listen to laughing as the man watched my reaction. "Hey, Ethery!" Chris's voice said from behind the man. "This is Alex Smith, You can call him Smith." I smile and say, "Hello, Smith. I'm Ethery." He chuckled and said, "Ross should be coming." Then Chris said, "Well, should we walk or wait for him?" I answered by saying, "I think we should wait." I heard them mumble a yes while I sat back down and started to strum my guitars strings.

Alex suddenly said, "So you like music? Well I mean playing guitar." I smiled and started to strum a complex German song and let him listen as an answer. After I finished a new voice said, "Nice guitar. I'm Ross." I smiled toward him and started to put my guitar around me as I said, "I'm Ethery. Shall we walk?" I heard them start to stand so I did too.

We walked and talked for quite a while before Smith asked, "Have you ever played a video game, Ethery?" I looked shockingly toward him but said, "No." Suddenly Ross gasped and Alex said," We will have to change that." I laugh nervously and say," No, it's fine, I'm not a gamer anyways." Chris speaks up and says, "Never know till you try!" I sigh and say, "Well maybe some other time, I got to go." They said their goodbyes as I recounted my steps back to the tree. Then I turn and walk all the way home. I don't know how I am going to get out of this gaming situation without telling them I am blind.

I sigh and walk down the path to my front door. I open it and slam it shut. I fling my guitar carefully onto the couch as I plop down on the couch with a tired face. After resting a bit I stand up and walk into the kitchen for something to eat. "Guess I am going to have to tell them then." I say to myself. Then the day went as it always does, I end up back in my bed asleep after a tiring day of life.

Hey guys! It's me pawandhand here. Sorry this came out so late. You guys better be glad it finally out because I am. This is probably the longest chapter in the book (If you don't count all the long lyrics) to make up for the long wait but I plan on writing longer chapters for you guys. Also from now on I won't write the lyrics of the songs she plays and sings because it is a pain to do. Finally! I can stop typing. My fingers are burning. My internet went out again and I lost a lot of work but I retyped it for you guys! Pawandhand out! Bya!
