The main characters:
Layla- Asian-American. Layla's grandparents migrated from South Korea to the United States. Layla is the most fashionable of them all, hates sexists and loves books. Layla is the most adventurous teenager in her school.
Margaret- Margaret is called Meg by all her friends. She believes that everyone should have a second chance. Very forgiving and adores children. Her motto is 'every cloud has a silver lining'.
Charlotte- Charlotte is known for her loyalty. If she takes a shine to one, she'll die fighting for them. Very fit and has a black belt in karate. Fails every test.
Nicky- Nicky can be sarcastic about anything and everything. Has a wide sense of humor and is witty. Loves sailing and is youngest teenager in her school who sky dives.
"Library," stated Layla.
"Childcare center," said Margaret.
"Rent a movie,"offered Nicky.
"Gym," was Charlotte's choice.
In the end, Nicky won.
"I knew all those debate classes would come in handy one day!" she cheered while the others muttered grumpily. "Oh come on!" Nicky pouted, "It's not like we've got anything better to do, unless you want to learn how to sky dive." She grinned as her friends hastily packed into Nicky's old jeep.
It was a typical winter's day and the mud on the sidewalks was as slushy as the four friends' minds. Lightning streaked through the clouded sky looking like neon tree roots as a lone car drove through the shallowly flooded streets.
Nicky's car skidded to a halt. "Let's go girls," she said as she locked the car, "What are we going to rent?"
The others shrugged as they entered the bright rental store.
"Split," They said simultaneously. Layla went to the adventure section, Margaret to the romance, Charlotte to the new releases and Nicky to the sci-fic.
"Um, we could watch 'Mean Girls'," suggested Charlotte.
"Nah, it's boring," said Layla, "How about..." Layla paused, flicking through the adventure DVDs "This?"
Margaret glanced, over a shelf, at the cover. "Yeah, it looks good. Hey guys, check it out!"
Nicky and Charlotte crowded around. All of them read the blurb on the back.
"Looks good to me," they all commented together.
"Ok, we'll get it," said Margaret, "Anyone have money?"
They all fished in their pockets and placed some money on the counter.
"One dollar too many," counted Margaret, "Charlotte, you take it."
Margaret handed the freckly boy at the counter the DVD and the money. "Hey Sam," she said smiling sweetly.
"Um, hi Meg," he replied nervously.
As the girls walked out of the door with the DVD, they all cracked up.
"Girl, he so likes you," Nicky grinned as she started her car's ignition.
"Who, like, couldn't like me?" Margaret protested.
This brought a fresh burst of laughter.
"Hey," giggled Charlotte, "We must look like idiots laughing so much."
"Maybe we are," Layla said.
"No way," protested Margaret, "Just because I'm not an idiot and you are doesn't mean you have to be jealous of me."
The car drove into a huge puddle and splashed the windows.
"Hey!" shouted Nicky in alarm as a huge tree loomed up.
CRASH!
Mist settled in around the jeep and it's four unconscious occupants. A lightning flash lit the scene and the DVD began glowing. The DVD, Lord of the Rings- The Fellowship of the Ring.
How did you like it? I hope you enjoyed it and I'll be updating soon. Tomorrow (15th of April) is my Birthday! Honestly! Please make my day by reviewing as a Birthday present.
