A New World at a Bad Time
Chapter one: The Movies
Inside her room slept three 14-year-old girls. One lay on the floor curled up in a ball, another on the bed lying sideways, and the last on the mini sofa ready to fall off. They all pay no heave to the alarm clock ringing on the bedside table.
"Girls! Girls! Wake up for pities sake!" Came the mother of Katie, who was sleeping on the bed. She had a birthday party last night and her two friends Tara and Amber spent the night.
Katie moaned as her mother opened the curtains and sunlight filled the room.
"Mom, it's too early." Katie said drowsily as she covered herself back up with the blanket.
"Tsk tsk. It's 11:00 in the morning, Katie." The mother said and turned off her alarm clock. "That alarm clock of yours has been going off since 10:00. If you three don't get dressed, you're not going to see the Lord of the Rings!"
The three girls immediately got up.
"Coming." They said together.
The mother shook her head and walked out of the room.
"I can't believe we're going to see Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King!" Amber said excitingly.
"I know!" Tara said literally jumping with glee as she put on a light blue t-shirt.
"I wanna see how many lines Orlando is going to get in this movie." Katie said thoughtfully.
"Yeah." Tara and Amber said together.
"Whoa!" The two echoed again.
"Creepy." Katie said.
The girls were dropped off at the movie theater fifteen minutes later. The cute guys whistled at them as they walked in. They seemed to shine above everybody. They dressed especially nice for this occasion.
Katie wore a pair of blue jean bell-bottoms with little jewels pattered across the bottom, a silver silk shirt, a pair of blue Adidas, and her hair was pulled back into a bun with glitter gel slicking it back. Tara wore a pair of faded bell-bottoms with a white beaded belt, a light blue t-shirt, a pair of light blue Adidas, and her hair hung loosely below her shoulders.
Amber wore a pair of purple bell-bottoms with patterns of butterflies lined across the bottom up to the knees, a light purple spaghetti strap tank top, a pair of purple Adidas, and her hair was crinkled and her bangs were pulled back out of her face.
All three looked like movie stars. The reason they dressed so nicely is that they had heard that 4 lucky people, boy or girl, that looked the nicest would win a trip to New Zealand to visit the cast of the Lord of the Rings and the set.
As they went up to get their tickets, they talked amongst themselves, as they would be waiting a while.
"Do you think we will win?" Tara asked.
"This lane is open!" One of the movie people yelled over the commotion. Barley anybody heard it, but they did. Quickly and swiftly, they ran ahead of everybody else. They got there first.
"Three tickets for The Lord of the Rings please." Tara said to the ticket person.
"That'll be $18.75 please." He replied.
They gave him the money and walked out of line. "Yeah!"
Just then, a sign went up saying 'sold out of the Lord of the Ring: The Return of the King tickets.' The three girls squealed as everybody who is in line for that movie stepped out and headed for their cars, the mall, or the phones.
" I can't believe we got the last three tickets!" Amber said faintly.
"Girls! Could you come over here?" A lady at a desk asked. The three walked over. She seemed to be skimming over what they were wearing. She took an individual picture of each of them and nodded. "You three are one of the people that might be the winners of the contest. You are going to see Lord of the Rings, right?" The woman asked, eyebrows raised.
"Yes!" The three of them said together.
"Well good luck." The lady said and smiled. She put our pictures up with the other twenty people and put a sign on her desk that said 'no more contestants.'
The three girls walked away with their stomachs in knots and their hopes high.
"I wonder what else is going to happen to us this morning." Tara wondered out loud.
"Who knows. C'mon the movie is about to start without us!" Katie said and the three hurried off to find seats that weren't taken. Surely enough, three seats were right in the middle in the fifth row.
"I was told that the fifth row was the best row you could sit in at the movie. You're not too close but yet, not too far either." Amber said.
"Really? I wonder from where?" Tara asked Katie. Katie nodded.
"Shh. It's about to begin."
Yes, something was about to begin, and it wasn't the movie.
A/n: Is it good? I hope you have enjoyed chapter one. Keep reading if you wish to know what is going to happen.
