Coming of Age

Chapter one: eighteenth birthday

May's pov.

I glance over at the clock, it reads 11:45pm, fifteen minutes till my birthday. My eighteenth birthday to be exact. I sigh, the only thing that stands between me and freedom is fifteen minutes. My phone rings, it's a text from my friend Emile.

"fifteen minutes ;)"

"Oh shut up u, ur already 18"

"and loving every second of it XD"

"."

He's only using the little faces to annoy me, and is succeeding. Check the time again, it 11:47. Time always seems to move slower when you're waiting for something, so I decided to sketch while I wait.

I grab my sketch pad off my desk and because I have the best luck in the world all the pictures that I've drawn on computer paper fall all over the room. Sighing I go round them up, most are drawings of okami characters because Emile and I are like obsessed with that game. After everything is back in its place I fish my pencil out of my pencil bag and turn to a clean sheet of paper. I absentmindedly doodle while I think about my birthday party tomorrow. I snap out of my little daydream noticing what I'm drawing looks like Waka. Thats weird, was I planning on drawing him? Well whatever.

I look back at the clock, 11:59. Just then my phone rings, it's Emile.

"u ready B-day girl?"

"Shall we count down?"

"Yes lets"

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"6"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2!"

Just then an intense pain shoots through my head and I drop the phone, gripping my pounding skull. I stagger backward holding my desk to keep me standing, it feels like my brains about to implode. I shut my eyes against the pain There's a voice, I can barely hear it but it's there.

"hold on, hold on, hold on..."

Then I black out.

Sorry this first chapter is so short, to make up for it I'll upload TWO parts today.

Hope u enjoyed this first part. Don't forget to tell me what u think!

bye for now XD
