The thorns of beauty

Chapter one

"Alice! Alice" my sister Katrina yelled. "What do you want?" I moaned. "Mom sent me to wake you up?" Katrina said and took of my blanket. I shivered I hate it when people take of my blankets. "What does she want?" I moaned rubbing my eyes. "I don't know" Katrina said while searching through her closet trying to kind something to where. I went into the bathroom to see myself looking like a fucking racoon. I stayed up late last night forgetting to take of my makeup. I was trying to control myself in my sleep so I wouldn't have so many nightmares. Well I read it on google that you could do that if you are really tired. I tried it so many times and it did not work but I would do whatever it takes to get rid of nightmares.

I went downstairs to see my brother making breakfast and my mom cleaning the living room for the 100th time. "Shrek called he wants his face back" Toby teased. I didn't respond mostly because I couldn't say a better insult. "What was so important that you had to wake me up for? I said annoyed. "Oh yes I want you to give this pie I made last night to the neighbours" she said pointing to the pie. Yes! I wanted to go to the neighbours house ever since they moved in next door. Mostly because of Jake the cute boy next door. He has blond hair and green eyes and he just moved next door from Canada.

I got ready and put my hair up in a messy hair bun and my purple sweater. I went outside and walked over to jakes house. The house that jake lived in was weird. When I was little I was always scared of this house. I don't know I just always get bad feelings there like something bad happened. Before it got repainted and renovated it was always the house kids would use to scare people with on Halloween. I knocked on the door he answered. "Hello?" He said I was mute for a little bit thinking about what to say. "Are you just going to stand there or tell me why your here" he said rudely. "Jake! That's no way to speak to a guest" a heard a ladies voice say.

"I'm sorry I'm just here to drop of this pie my mom made" I said quickly. "Oh you must be Alice, I'm Jessica and this is my son jake" the lady introduced. "Yeah my mom also invited you to have tea with her" I said. "Oh thanks so much" Jessica said and closed the door. Was that normal? Do people in Canada do that all the time? Just close the door in people's faces. Because that's not what you people do in Australia. I ran back home.
