Hi there I'm Sophia Takota and I'm here to tell you about the best/worst summer of my life. And just saying I hope you stick along for the ride. Now I guess I should go into better detail about myself I'm fourteen years old about 5'5 with long wavy-ish brown hair and usually brown eyes, I can't tell you what they are at the moment cause I don't have a mirror. Now I was walking to my locker with my friends Samantha and Mariah. Sam has dark chocolate skin with midnight hair with redwood brown eyes we've been friends since we were pretty much in diapers. Now Mariah has light tan skin with red brown hair with the tips died black and dark chocolate eyes. Like I said we were walking down the hall to our lockers when I looked out the window and thought I saw a bear, but then I thought "nah it couldn't be a bear they live farther south "so I just blew it off. Now while my friends talked about boys and what not I thought about what I had seen. Was it a dog? Was it a wolf? Was it a cow? (yeah that happens don't ask). Then we got to our lockers and Samantha said "So Sophia are you gonna go to the mall with us later?". "I think im going to pass guys sorry " I said. "oh pleeeeeeaaassse Soph! come on you never come with us we could get our nails done or oh we could but some streaks in our hair!" Mariah said. "Guys I think I'm just going to go curl up at home with a nice good book." I said. Then I said "throw in some ice cream and it's a deal." Deal! They both screamed. See I'm more of a tom girl I live on a farm and usually prefer to stay there but sometimes when I need a break I will go to the mall with the girls (they bribe with ice cream). So we grabbed our stuff out of our lockers and stuffed everything into our backpacks while I texted my mom that I was just going to drop my backpack off at Sam's and we were going to the mall and I would be home by eight. Lets say I was a bit late. So after dropping everything off we walked to the mall. I was eating my ice cream when Mariah said "ooh lets go get streaks in our hair!". "Hey guys come on" I said "you know my mom would probably kill me if I did that without permission". "It's okay come on if you get in trouble blame it on me" Mariah said. "Now come on I love your hair and all but you need some more color in there" she said as she pulled me into the hair salon. As I sat there I thought about what color to get then I looked down at my necklace, the pendant was a blazing sun with oranges, yellows, reds, and a few tints of pink. Then the lady who worked at the salon walked up and said "Hello dear what might I do for you?" I looked over to see my two friends already in the styling chairs picking out colors. "I would like to get a streak in my hair lik me two friends over there" I said pointing over to my two friends. She followed my line of sight and said "well you came to the right place dearie follow me" and she started walking to a styling chair. I got up and followed her to the chair and sat down. "Now sweetie what colors would you like? ". She asked while handing me a color chart I looked at it and right side by side were the perfect colors. "May I have three? " I asked. The woman looked at me with a smile and said "of course what colors? " I pointed out the colors on the chart and she said "those will look lovely together dear where would you like them? " I took the locks of my hair right in the front and she said "wonderful please hold those while I get the hair bands" (A/N please correct me if I'm wrong I've never died my hair before). I sat there for a moment before she came back with four rubber bands. She used one to put my other hair up so it didn't get in the way and used the other three to separate the hair I wanted died. First she took out the rubber band in the first locks, then she brushed through it a couple times and wet it, then she got this stuff that I don't even know how to describe and put it in my hair lathering it in. At last she put some tin foil over it and went to wash her hands she did the same this two more times and the blow dried it. Then after every thing was done she took it out and told me to look in the mirror what I saw was me with one soft red, a soft orange, and a yellow streak in my hair. It was perfect. I looked over to see my friends standing by the cash register giving me thumbs up. I looked over at the nice lady and said "thank you it's perfect" "no problem dearie now go run along with your friends " I smiled and got up to go pay but then Samantha walked up with a purple streak I her hair and said "you lookin good girl now come on we already paid" and grabbed my hand to pull me along. When we got to a store called 'the store' we stopped and went in. "here" I said pulling some money out of my wallet and tried to give it to her she said "nope you save that cause were giving you a full makeover but you gotta pay for the clothes" and turned to look for Mariah. I got a bad feeling abd looked over myself I was in a old t-shirt that probably said something at one time but had faded now and old faded jeans and my coyboy boots that were brown with blue stitched in dragonfly desighns. Okay maybe I needed a makeover once in a while I thought. Then I looked over to the different outfits that they were looking at and as I walked over to them prayed to god that those weren't for me. Thankfully they weren't. They dragged me over to a bench with three piles of clothes on it and pointed to a changing room. I sighed and picked up the clothes and went into the changing room wondering if I should throw lunch and ice cream in there the next time the drag me to the mall. When I came out in the first outfit they had spin around a bit and look in the mirror. It was an short sleave black shirt with small white accents everywhere like stars in the sky with a knee length skirt that was black at the waist and faded into a nice morning blue. Both girls pushed me back into the changing room. When I came out this time I was in a soft red tank top and a pair of mid-thigh denim shorts I twirled around a little bit and hoped that they didn't choose this one it was a bit to revealing for my liking they both shook their heads and told me to try on the last out-fit. When I cam out I knew this was the one it was a mid-sleave black/blue shirt with a full moon and a howling wolf on the front and a denim vest. Oh yeah did I forget to mention I love wolves I mean seriously love them now back the awesome out-fit. It had dark blue jeans that had light blue dragonflies stitched in from the knee down I put my boots on and it looked perfect. I turned to them and said "what cha' think? " They both were silent for 5….4…..3…2…..1. "ITS AWSOME!" they both yelled at the same time so I went and put my old clothes in a bag and put the other clothes back on the racks and paid for my out-fit and we all went back to just window shopping. That's when I heard a scream I turned and looked it was the thing I thought was a bear earlier but instead it was about ten times more frightening my friends had looked to and they yelled "BEAR!" and I said "it's not a bear". Then It turned toward me and bared its teeth no it was'nt a bear but a huge black mastiff the size of a truck with glowing red eyes. then it started coming after me I turned tail and ran for the life of me (literaly). My first thought was 'where do I get a weapon', my seconed thought was 'why do I want a weapon?!' . I looked behind me to see it gaining and people scattering everywhere except for a guy and a girl with orange T-shirts on and the pulled out ,wait are those swords?! I looked ahead and saw the potter store they had those clay knives in the front window so I ran up to it and grabbed all ten off the display then turned around and saw the guy and girl fighting with the monster, and it had its side turned to me so I grabbed one of the medium ones and chunked it at it hopeing it would at least stick. THUNK. It went in its side all the way up to the hilt. The monster turned at me with a look pure fury in its eyes and lunged at me. I side stepped out of the way and grabbed another medium sized knife and stuck It right above the shoulder blade. Did I know what I was doing? No. no I did not. It turned with lightning speed nd grabed onto my arm the pain was unbearable then the guy and the girl with swords showed up and stuck it with one of the and it disentigrated into dust and fell over into the dust curling up in pain. I looked up and saw the guy had brown curly hair and bright blue eyes with a troublemaker hint to them while the girl had long brown hair with dark green eyes. my eyesight was starting to fade but I heard the guy say "is she going to be okay? " and then I passed out
