Hello everybody! Happy Summer! Today was the last day of school for me. (I know right? I got out late because of that snowstorm and that hurricane.) YES. Finally. Anyway, this was the new story I was talking about. This story is well, different from my other stories. It's the first story I wrote that has first person POV, and it introduces some new OCs. Also, it's a lot more serious than my other stories. Here's the first chapter. It takes place in Evershade Valley, a few months after Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon(which BTW, is an awesome game and I beat it several times. I think Nintendo should make Luigi's Mansion into a series and release a third game for the Wii U. Nintendo, if you're reading this, PLEASE make a third game!). Anyway, it's in the first person, and is present tense.

I will add more characters as the story progresses. So, here's the story. It will be in Eve's POV for the whole story.
"Beep. Beep. Beep."
Ugh. That's the sound I hear when I wake up. It's that stupid old alarm clock again.
"Beep. Beep. Beep."
Okay, I know I have to wake up early even though it's the last day of school and they probably won't even take attendance, but why does this stupid alarm clock noise always have to be so annoying? I get up and look at the clock. It's 7:35. Oh snap. I only have 25 minutes before school starts! I jump out of bed and quickly open the drawers to my dresser. I quickly change into some pale pink shorts and a plain white t-shirt, then I slip on some white flip flops.
"Dang it. Why did I have to sleep through that alarm clock?" I complain to myself. The I hear a faint meow. I turn around and there's Shadow, my ghost cat. She's my loyal companion, and if anything happened to her, I don't know what I would do. "Don't worry." I tell her. "It's only one more slow and boring day. It'll be over soon." Shadow just smiles and meows happily. I'm lucky to have an animal companion like her. I don't even consider her a pet. I consider her a great friend. I took care of her ever since I found her on the streets, in the garbage can. She's the best cat in the world. After that, I rush to the bathroom. I quickly brush my jet black hair and put it into a ponytail and brush my teeth. Now I only have 15 minutes left. I run downstairs and I grab a banana to eat on the way.
"Eve!" someone says. I turn around and there's Marylin. She's the toad who takes care of me. She's not my mom or anything, I don't know who my real mom is. All I know is that she left me at Marylin's doorstep when I was a baby. "Did you eat the last box of Pocky?"
"Yeah, I did." I say. "I was hungry." Marylin sighs.
"Just make sure there's one more box next time you have some, okay?" she tells me.
"Okay." I say. "I have to go. School starts in 13 minutes."
"Alright, just don't be late again." she says. "I'm sick of getting calls from teachers saying you're late. Okay, bye."
"Bye." I say as I quickly grab my backpack and skateboard. I run out the door and hop onto my skateboard. 11 minutes left. It's gonna be a long ride. Good thing I only live 5 minutes away from my school, Moonbrook Elementary School. Despite it being relatively close to Evershade Valley's capital city, Vespera, my town, Moonbrook, is actually very small. So small, in fact, that I practically know the whole town by heart. I know where all the stores are, I practically memorized the names of most of the streets, I know almost every human, toad, and ghost here. Almost. Heck, I even did a project on the town's history earlier this year.
After a few minutes, I finally arrive at the school, with only 6 minutes to spare. Thank goodness. I put down my white skateboard and I speed walk through the front doors. I get to my class right before the bell rings. I sit down in my seat. Floating in the seat next to mine, there's my best friend, Kevin. I've known him for as long as I could remember. Every day after school, we go to his house and we hang out in our tree house. It's actually pretty big. It might be the biggest tree house in Moonbrook. Not the biggest tree house in all of Evershade Valley, but you never know.
"Hey, Eve." he greets happily. He's always happy to see me. "You excited for school to be over? I am."
"Of course." I say. Summer's the best time of the year. It's the time where me and Kevin hang out and even camp out in the tree house. We've actually camped overnight in the tree house many times before. In fact, every year on the last day of school, we have this big camp out in the tree house, and we play handheld video games, roast marshmallows, and pig out on snacks until we eventually fall asleep. "I especially can't wait for the camp out party."
"Yeah, of course you would be excited," he replies. "we've been planning all year for this. Too bad it had to be delayed."
"Yeah." I tell him. The last day of school was pushed back a few days because of the Dark Moon incident. I guess you can't go to school when half the people you know go crazy. A few months ago, the Dark Moon actually broke for the first time since Plit War 2. Luckily, Luigi Mario from the Mushroom Kingdom decided to be a hero and fix the Dark Moon, and defeat the person who broke it. So basically, it's King Boo's fault that the last day was delayed. Me and Kevin never liked King Boo. I don't think anyone in Evershade Valley does. Ever since Evershade Valley gained independence from his tyranny in 1945, he's been trying to get back at us or whatever. "Well, I'm glad this long school year is finally over. I'm sick of the 5th grade."
"Yep. But now there's only one year left until we move on to the high school." he says. Did I mention that Moonbrook is so small that we don't even have a middle school? Once we finish 6th grade, we just go right to the high school. I don't want to think about that now, though. After a few seconds, our teacher, Mrs. Manabuni walks into the classroom. She's really nice. She has green eyes and black hair, like me. Actually, most of the humans in Evershade Valley have black hair and green eyes. I guess it's common or whatnot.
"Okay class." she says. As soon as she says that, the chatter of toads, humans, and ghosts all stop and pay attention. "Even though it's the last day of school, we still have to go over our final tests." she says to the class. This is going to be a long day.
So, what did you guys think? Was it good? Don't worry, it's going to get better when the story continues. Anyway, reviews are appreciated, but flames are NOT. Well, see you next time!
