Date: May 31, 2003
It was Saturday and Anna was sleeping in her bedroom when, Tess, her mother, walks in.
"Anna, honey, wake up," she said.
Tess opens the blinds to make her bedroom brighter.
"Anna, don't make me ask again!" she blurted.
A few minutes later, Harry uses an airhorn to wake up Anna. Anna screams in anger and chases him out of her room and slams the door. She changes her "Pink Slip" pajamas and puts on her black shirt with a guitar with long red sleeves. Her shirt was a Bella 2000 Raglan T-shirt.
Anna arrives in the kitchen where Harry and his grandpa are having breakfast.
"I'm up now, mom. What are we doing today?" Anna said.
"We are going to the mall to buy you a golden ring," Tess said.
Harry bursted with laughter then he falls off his chair laughing.
"What?! A golden ring? Mom, I do not want to wear a golden ring," she shouted.
Ryan walks in holding his morning newspaper. "What's going on here, honey?"
"I am buying a golden ring for Anna," Tess said to Ryan.
"Oooh, Anna, aren't you a lucky girl," Ryan said, happily.
Anna groaned in disgust.
Anna and her mother got in their car and went to the mall.
At the mall, Anna hadn't said a word and her mother was still looking. While looking the rings, the cashier came.
"Can I help you, lady?" he said.
"Yes, I'd like to buy a golden ring for my daughter, Anna," Tess said.
"Okay, that will be $1,000," the cashier said.
Tess takes out her wallet, gives the $1,000 to the cashier and her credit card.
"Anna, come here honey!" she called.
Anna walks to her mother. Anna felt so disgusted.
"Hold out your hand," Tess said to Anna.
Tess puts on Anna's golden ring on her daughter's ring finger with the left hand.
"Anna, honey, how do you like your golden ring?" Tess said happily.
Anna is angrily looking at her golden ring on her left hand where her mother put on for her.
"Mom, I'm 15 years old! I'm in high school! I can't wear a golden ring!" she screamed.
"Oh, Anna, yes you can. Isn't your friend Maddie going to be thrilled?" Tess said to Anna.
"Take care, girls," the cashier said.
Anna and her mother went home.
Anna stormed upstairs to her room. She was angrily looking at her golden ring on her ring finger.
A couple minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Tess answered the door and it was Maddie.
"Hi, Mrs. Coleman, is Anna here?" Maddie said.
"Yes, she is, she's in her room," Tess said.
"We have to sing our song 'Take Me Away' at the House of Blues," Maddie said.
"Okay, Maddie, I'll call her down here," Tess said.
"Anna! Your friend Maddie is here!" Tess shouted.
Anna went downstairs and sees Maddie.
"Anna, you ready for the audition?" Maddie said.
"Yeah," Anna said to her.
"Nice golden ring, Anna," Maddie said.
"Thanks," Anna said, depressed.
Maddie and Anna left the house and went to the House of Blues.
