A/N: Uhh... Enjoy!
Chapter 1
"Kate! Kate! Katherine Jones get your butt down here right now!"
Kate Jones groaned into her pillow.
"I'll be down now, in a minute mum!"
"You'll be down now not now, in a minute! Now get downstairs I've made you breakfast!" Kate's mum, Jane, shouted.
Kate groaned once more and threw the covers off. She immediately regretted the decision.
"Gah!" She shouted. "Cold, cold, very cold!" She sat still trying to compose herself. Eventually she sighed and made her way downstairs.
"Good, good you're down. Here's your breakfast, though it's probably all soggy by now." Kate's mum wittered. Kate knew better that to argue with her mum in the mornings and say that she liked soggy cereal. "Your father's working late tonight and so am I do you'll be home alone until about 10, is that all right?" Her mother continued.
"Yeah mum that's fine." She actually preferred the house to herself.
"OK then sweetie. Remember 9o'clock bed. Don't answer the door to strangers and hurry up of you'll be late for school!"
"Bye mum!" Kate shouted.
"Bye bach!" Her mum shouted back before she slammed the door shut.
Kate looked at the clock on the counter. 10 minutes till school starts.
"Crap 10 minutes to school!" Kate cursed. She ran upstairs, abandoning her cereal, and got her uniform on.
She ran back into the kitchen grabbed her bag and looked at the clock. "Five minutes," she thought "I can run that." Quickly, she sprinted out the door.
