Chapter One
As I woke, warm sun rays heated my cool face and dust hung meaninglessly in the clear air. Groggily, I sat up from my comfterable dark blue bedding, stretching all limbs. My room was an absoloute tip - spilt glasses on my oak dresser, clothes laying messily on my light blue carpet, art frames tilted on my indigo wall. As I rubbed my sleep-filled green eyes, I sighed at the state of my room. I had to clean it. No way were my friends coming round tomorrow with my room looking like this. I decided I would relax first and clean up later, my body was too tired at the moment.
Whilst I brushed off some loose thread on my white cow-printed babygrow pyjamas, I bounced downstairs into the kitchen where my mum, Lys, was wearing peach-pink silk pyjamas and preparing what smelled like a delicious breakfast. "What smells so good?" I asked heavenly, the gorgeous smells making me smile. She turned around, whisking some mixture in a large mixing bowl. "Muffins, pancakes, waffles and fruit!" she chirped, flashing her pearl white teeth, blowing a loose strand of her dark brown shoulder-length hair to the side. I strolled over to the counter and poured myself a fresh glass of tropical juice, then chugged it down. It felt so good to have a smooth liquid trickling down my parched throat. Mum had seemed to finish her masterpiece, so she laid it all out on a clean plate then set it out neatly onto our wooden table. I sat down hungrily and hurtled the food down my mouth like a tornado spinning up a house. "So," mum happily started. "Whats on the agenda for my Raisy-Paisy today?"
"My name is Rai. I hate it when you call me Raisy-Paisy." I nudged her, grinning. "Well, uh, just the usual. But later I have to clean my room." I added while chewing on a scrumcious piece of waffle. Mum sighed, playing with her food drowsily. She looked up at me and raised a perfectly-shaped dark eyebrow. "Look, Rai, I don't want you to keep staying at home all day. Go out, feel the sunshine, get some fresh air! I mean, for pete’s sake Rai you’re 12. Wait - I'll tell you what, go and take Bower for a walk!" she suggested joyfully. I groaned with enthasis but then dropped my fork - my plate completely wiped - and nodded, defeated. As if on cue, Bower the cute pug scampered into the room and jumped up at me. I played with him merrily for a while, then went upstairs to get ready.
Not hurrying in the slighest, I slowly walked up the stairs and into my sky-to-dark blue room. I stripped off my babygrow and opened my oak wardrobe, scanning each rack, each colour, each design. After what seemed like hours, I finally picked out a yellow floral print summer dress and yellow flipflops, complete with a yellow flower headband and yellow bangles. Yellow was the most fashionable colour here in Roseland, because it is always so scorching! Down here in Lockhart Lane, everyone knows everyone and it is such a sweet place - beautiful flowers printed across the land, vibrant green grass, a piercing blue sky, juicy fruit growing in every corner. I swished the clothes to one side and brushed my luscious, long curly blonde hair whilst I rubbed my lightly tanned skin with a high SPF suncream and applied a soft cherry-tasting lipbalm to my full, pink lips. After multitasking I tugged inside the sundress, slipped on the flipflops, adjusted the headband and threw on the shiny bangles. Quickly, I snatched the bad boy spiked leash from inside my bedside table then clambered over some clothes that were thrown on the floor to get back downstairs. When I arrived I shouted to Bower "Walkies! C'mon boy!" almost immediately he appeared at my side, jumping and wiggling his little tail rapidly. Gently, I attatched the leash to his cute yellow collar which wrapped perfectly around his fluffy brown coat. "See-ya mum and dad, back in a few!" I yelled up the stairs. Dad, Oliver, was still sleeping, of course. That man could sleep forever.
So that's my first story!
