This is my new story…and I hope everyone likes it, because this first chapter almost didn't happen. I have the scratches and bruises to prove. My sister wanted to get on…but I stood my ground…and here I am. Although, now my mom is mad at me. I told her I was sorry for all that happened….but she had this mean sour look on her face that all mothers get when they aren't happy with you! Anywho…I got this idea when I was hitting my sister…and well she was trying to shove her way into the computer room! Inspiration comes at odd moments!


Holly quickly made her down the stairs. Their was someone at the door, and it seemed everyone in her house was either not paying attention or they just weren't there. Her small frame and short legs were carrying her as fast as they could. "Hold on!" Holly yelled as she finally reached the door. She opened it. It was her older sister's boyfriend. "Oh hey Sean, she's upstairs putting on her face…or something. It's scary, you know the things she does to get ready for a date….oh…yeah come in!" Holly laughed. "Thanks." Sean said. Holly had noticed that Sean was a very quiet person. "So…how's it going at school?" She asked him trying to loosen things up.

Sean went to the local college. He had met Holly's sister Alexia in their English class. Sean cleared his throat when he saw Alexia standing in the doorway. "Oh, school's been great. I'll see you later Holly…it was nice talking to you." Holly waved bye to him and watched as her sister left.

Holly tried to walk back up the stairs to her room. But the door bell rang again. She sighed and trudged back toward the door. She opened it. It was her best friend Annabelle. "Hey Anna…I thought you were going to be packing for soccer camp…you were supposed to be ready by Thursday." Annabelle shoved her way into Holly's house. "Yeah…yeah…yeah…I know. But the camp called and it got pushed back to next Monday. Mom said that I needed to be here for something." Holly looked at her watch. "Anna, there's nothing happening here." "Oh yes there is Holls." Lena said as she came waltzing down the stairs. "Hey Anna where's your mom?" Annabelle turned around and watched at Tibby tripped coming down the sidewalk. "She's right here Aunt Lena." Lena smiled and walked down the steps to meet her friend. "Where are Carmen and Bridget?"

Tibby laughed as she picked herself up. "Carmen and Esperanza are like two minutes away, and Bridget just picked up Ella from art class. She said she'd hurry."
