Chapter 1: The Begging of the End

I heard my alarm go off again and hit the snooze button for the sixth time. Sometimes I hated being a farmer's kid. Why do we have to get up so early any way? I looked at the clock with one eye and saw that it was six thirty, SIX THIRTY! Waking up an hour late wasn't going to make me late. Thank God it's Friday.

I pulled my blanket over my head to block the sunlight, but my twin brother Justin ruined my plans of sleeping in… "Danni!" he said cheerfully. "Wake up! It's the last day of school! Can you believe how horrible it is?" I swear that boy and I are not related. We are exact opposites. Literally.

He loves getting up early, and I love to sleep in! He loves working on the farm early every morning, and I don't. He loves spinach, AND I LOATHE IT!!! He is like the perfect child! And I'm your average teenager.

"Come on Danni! We're gonna be late!" he moaned. Oh no… Oh no… We're going to be late for the last day of school, whatever shall we do? I moaned. "Five more… minutes…" I said. "You said that two hours ago! Now outta bed!" he said as he put his hands under my mattress and flipped me over.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!" I screamed. He knew I hated it when he did that! I ran after him, but he ran out of our room and locked the door before I could get him. "You may have escaped this time Justin! But don't expect me to drop this easily!" I screamed. "Whatever you say Danielle!" he said through the door. He knew I hated it when he used my full name, it sounded so uncool. I'll kill him later…

I went and got dressed in my white shirt with purple sleeves, and blue jean shorts. I brushed my hair and teeth and put my makeup on. I put on my black converse and went to eat breakfast.

"You look nice today." Mom said as she put a plate of scrambled eggs in front of me. "Thanks." I said dryly as I began to eat. I loved my mom, and I knew she meant well, but having your mom tell you that you looked pretty was kind of embarrassing.

"What was all that noise earlier? There was a thud, then you were yelling, and I heard pounding on the wall." she said. Justin smiled. "Danni was just in another one of her moods…" he said sarcastically. I glared at him and mumbled, "Shut up, or it those will be your last words…" Justin stuck his tongue out at me, and I stuck mine at him.

"Alright children." mother said. "You're going to be late for school if you keep this up." I looked at the clock and saw it was seven forty-five. I quickly drank my orange juice and said, "Bye mom! Love you!" I grabbed my backpack and ran outside. Justin came out behind me. Hopefully Ms. Tanya wouldn't be too mad…

I sat down in my seat and looked at the clock. It was five minutes before eight. Thank Goodness. Now we wouldn't have to hear her speech on being "punctual at all times". "Hey Danni!" Hailey said as she ran up to me. Hailey is one of my best friends. She has strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. Today she was wearing a pearl pink blouse and a hot pink mini skirt with pink high heels.

"You look so cute today Danni!" she said cheerfully. Valerie walked up to us, snapping her bubble gum. Valerie is one of my other best friends. She's more of a tomboy. She has purple hair that's always in a ponytail and blue eyes. Today she was wearing blue jean shorts and a blue t-shirt that said, "I sometimes go to my own little world, but that's okay, they know me there".

"Hey Val!" I said. "Nice shirt." "Thanks." she said. "Oh my gosh!" Hailey squealed. "Danni! Look!" she whispered. I looked to where she was pointing and saw Jake, the cutest guy in school, wink at me! I felt my heart melt. "Jeez guys. Calm down" Valerie said. She's never really been into guys.

Jake has brown hair and green eyes and a skinny muscular body! He's the most popular boy in school, it's a surprise he hasn't asked me out yet, since I'm the most popular girl in school. Justin could be popular, but he chooses not to. He's always studying or doing extra homework to "bring up his grade". He is such a nerd…

"Alright! Alright! Settle down everyone!" Ms. Tanya said. "I know this is the last day of school, but I want you to think of it as just another normal school day. Now open your books to Chapter 19 and begin reading."

Everyone moaned and went to they're desk and opened their books. Well, Valerie and Justin didn't moan, but that was normal. Valerie's a tech wizard, she's all A's in school too. Our school has grown a lot, so has the town. Or at least, that's what mom and dad said.

They say that this island used to be inhabited by only them, our god father Pascal, and the Komona tribe. Now, the town is more like a city. I just remember going to kindergarten with high schoolers. We use to all go to the same classroom. But now, we have separate buildings; an elementary school, a daycare, a middle school, and a high school. Justin and I are in 10th grade.

You know, I've never seen a Komona, mom said they stopped showing up after the town grew. I still want to see one. Maybe I'll go explore the jungle after school…

"Danni! Are you listening to me?" Hailey whispered angrily. "Huh?" I asked, coming back to the real world. "I was asking you if you had a date to the dance yet." she whispered. "No not yet. But I think I should be getting one today." I said looking at Jake.

"Ladies!" Ms. Tanya said. "Quit the chit-chat and read!" I don't see why we had to. We're about to leave on summer break right? Luckily out other teachers will show mercy.

Author's Note:

Yeah the first chapter is finally up! This chapter took me forever to write! *.*

I hope you like all of the characters so far! I had fun with Danielle and Justin's brother-sister relationship! I'm not like Danielle though. I hate makeup and I'm not girly. I think I'm more like Valerie, which makes since because she would be me if I were in the story. Except I don't have purple hair… :'(

I hoped you liked it! HM Farm Forever! (And ever…and ever! ^.^)
