I don't own the Chronicles of Narnia. They belong to C.S. Lewis. I only own my O.C. and the plot. I hope you enjoy this chapter and have a great day!
"Come on Anna!" A voice called out in annoyance. "I'm coming! Hold your horses." I said muttering the last part. I grabbed my wallet and quickly brushed my hair. I checked my appearance in the mirror. A tan, thin girl showed in the mirror. The girl had on a tank too and some shorts with flip flops. She had dark brown hair that went past her shoulders and grey eyes. Her hair was wavy. After another thought though I decided to change my hair style. I put it up in a high ponytail and secured it with a few bobby pins and an elastic.
I closed my bedroom door but I left the light on. I walked downstairs where my best friend was waiting for me. "You took forever." She said teasingly stretching out forever. "Sorry." I replied with a smile on my face. "Have fun girls." My mom said to us. "We will." Emma said with a mischievous grin on her face. I knew that look. It meant trouble was coming.
I walked out to Emma's car. She was only a few months older than me. Emma was born in November and I was born in January. I still had to wait a few months to get my driver's license. I got in the passenger seat of the Mustang and buckled my seatbelt. After about ten minutes we arrived at the mall. Emma and I were looking for a birthday present for our other friend,Alisa. It was Alisa's birthday today and we were planning a surprise party for her. I was in charge of getting the cake and Emma was getting the pizza.
We walking into the mall and Emma began to chatter about all sorts of stuff. We walking into a few stores but walked out after a few minutes of looking at the things they offered. "Maybe a necklace or earrings?" I suggested. "Let's go look." Emma replied. We walked over to were the jewelry was. "Ooh. This is beautiful!" I said holding up a diamond necklace and earrings. I glanced at the price. It was on sale so it was 25 dollars instead of 250 dollars. Emma held up a pair of earrings for me to look at. "How much?" I asked. "40." Emma replied. "This is only 25." I said motioning to the jewelry I held in my left hand.
We decided to go look at the other stores and if we didn't find anything we liked we would come back and get the necklace and earrings. I walked into Aeropostale and perused the merchandise. It seemed that Aeropostale didn't have anything that Alisa would like. After looking for a few things in Aeropostale I left the store followed by Emma. I checked my phone.
It was about noon time for lunch. Emma walked over to a pretzel place and I followed. Once we ordered our food and ate we walked back over to the jewelry. I purchased the necklace and earrings for Alisa and walked over to Emma. "Find anything good?" I asked her. "Not yet." Emma said back to me. I waited for a few minutes while Emma looked for anything. We finished at the jewelry section and walked over to a book store.
While Emma looked for a book for Alisa I looked at books for myself. "This looks interesting." I said as my eyes stopped on a series of books. They were called the Chronicles of Narnia. I read the backs of the books. They sounded very good. It was almost like someone influenced me to see them. I grabbed the books and walked over to the cashier. I set the books down and paid for them. I said they could keep the receipt and denied the bag they offered me. I walked over where Emma was. "Found something!" My friend shouted triumphantly. I waited while Emma paid for the books for Alisa. Once we finished shopping we went to a grocery store. I went to the baked goods and picked up a chocolate cake. I had Happy Birthday Alisa! put on it. I paid for the cake and we walked to Emma's car. I had the cake securely on my lap along with the books and Alisa's present.
"See you at 6!" Emma said to me. She would come and pick me up at 6 and the party started at 6:30. I waved to her and walked into my house. "Hi mom!" I greeted her. "Hi honey. Have a good time?" She asked. "Yup. I got the cake for Alisa,a present for her and a series of books." I said to her as I set down everything. I set the cake on the counter and took my books upstairs along with Alisa's present. I grabbed some wrapping paper and began to wrap her gift. Once I finished with the wrapping, I also attached a card I had bought for her. I wrote that I hoped she had a great birthday.
Seeing that I had about an hour before Emma would pick me up I decided to read the new books I had just gotten. I opened the package and picked up a book. It was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I opened it up to the first page and began to read it. Even though I was only on the first page so far it seemed like a good book.
