Broken Wings
It all started one day— my 15th birthday. I got up refreshed and excited, my heart welling up with happiness. I showered and dressed in my nicest outfit, a light pink tank top, a denim jacket and black capris leggings. "Darn you sneakers!" I yelled as I pulled them on with great difficulty. I pulled my dark chocolate hair into a ponytail with a green hairband. My blue sneakers were getting small, 'mother probably got me a new pair' I thought as I hopped down the carpeted steps. I saw my mom in a white apron cooking something in a pan. "School was canceled for the day. It was something about the plumbing."
My mom said as she looked over her shoulder. "Wow that was lucky." I grinned. I walked around the breakfast table and sat down. I pulled my phone out and texted my friend, Alicia. I wrote "hey! School is canceled today! You should come over!" and then I hit "send". My mom brought over a plate of hot pancakes and bacon. "Mom?" I asked. "yes?" "Can Alicia come over later for the party?" "Sure.". My phone started vibrating and I pulled it out of my pocket, to see that Alicia had texted me. "Sure! Maybe we can have a sleepover." I texted back saying that I would ask. My Mom said we could so I texted her saying yes. I spent the rest of the morning watching a mystery show. I was interrupted around noon by a text from Alicia. It said "brunch at Kory's café?" "Mom, I'm going out!" I yelled.
