Chapter 1
I woke up rather early in the morning and looked at the clock on my nightstand.
It showed that it was only 8 o'clock in the morning.
I sighed, turned around and tried to sleep some more.
Today is the first of july, so that means summervacation just started. And ofcourse, on a day like this, I really had to wake up this early!
I had just drifted off to sleep again when my little sister came into my room and jumped on my bed.
"Rose, can we please do something? I'm bored." Sarah asked.
I turned around again to look at her.
"Sarah, for goodness sake, do you know what time it is? It's way to early. Please go back to bed and try to sleep some more."
"Please, sis." She said, looking at me with her pleading eyes.
I sighed.
"Fine, but let me get dressed first."
"Okay."
She got off of my bed and left the room, closing the door behind her.
I turned myself on my back and yawned. Since I wasn't going to be able to get some more sleep, I got up and went to the bathroom. I put on my light green dress, since it would become a very warm day.
When I got downstairs I was greeted by Lady, our German Shepard. Sarah was already waiting for me at the table in the living room.
"What about some breakfast first?" I ask.
"Sure." She answered.
"What do you want?"
"Eggs!"
I smile. I should have known that she would choose that, because she likes eating that for breakfast.
"Well eggs it will be then."
I walk in the kitchen and take a cooking pot out of the cupboard, fill it with water and start boiling it. In the meantime I take the eggs out of the refridgerator. When the water's boiling I put four eggs in the water. While the eggs are cooking, I set the table. When everything is ready, I go looking for Sarah. She's not in the livingroom anymore, so I head for the stairs.
"Sarah, breakfast's ready!" I yell up the stairs. I wait for a moment but get no answer.
"Sarah!" I yell again, but still I get no answer. I sigh and start walking the stairs.
"Sarah?" I ask when I'm upstairs. Still I get no answer, so I start looking for her in every room, starting with mine. Why I did that I don't know. She would never even go into my room. So I close the door again and walk into the next room. But there she isn't hiding either.
"Come on, Sarah. This really isn't funny!" I yell. Again I get no answer. What was I expecting?
I enter my parents' bedroom and start checking the room. When I walk past the bed something grabbes my ankle, wich makes me scream in surprise and fall down. When I'm sitting on the ground I can hear someone laughing under the bed. Not much later Sarah comes crawling from the bed, together with Lady.
"Don't do that again! You really scared me!"
"I'm sorry sis." She said, still laughing.
"Come on, breakfast's ready."
"I'm coming".
We started going downstairs again, with Lady following us close. When we were in the kitchen, she placed herself on the ground next to Sarah's chair. When Sarah tought I wasn't looking, she offered her a peace of meat.
"Sarah, don't do that! Lady has her own food."
"Oh, come on sis. She may have something else sometimes to."
"Sometimes, yes. But you give her something else every day. You're spoiling her to much!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm…"
"You do know what day it is today don't you?" I interrupted her to prevent we would start arguing.
"It's the first of july. Why?" Sarah asked, looking puzzled.
"Today is mom and dad's 10th wedding birthday. What do you say we're going to decorate the living room as a surprise for them?"
"Yes, can we do that now?"
"No, not yet. First you have to finish your breakfast."
"Ok. And then we can do that?"
"Yes."
"Jeey."
Rosaly watched with a smile how Sarah finished her breakfast fast. She was always so eager when she could do something she liked. After I was done cleaning the table, and had hided the presents I had bought, we started decorating the house. When all this was done, me and Sarah had a quick lunch and then we went of to the swimming pool in the garden.
"Pfff, It's so warm outside today." I tought.
I felt the water in the pool.
"And that's to cold for just jumping in." I softly said to myself.
I think my sister must have noticed that I was doubting. So she walked towards me and as soon as she reached me, she pushed me in the pool, jumping after me laughing. When I came up, she was still snickering, so I pushed her under. It didn't take long or we were throwing water at each other and holding swimming contests.
After two hours in the water, I had enough of it. So I dried myself and went lying on the long chair and started reading my favorite book, The Hobbit, while Sarah was lying in one of the plastic boats that we once bought. It would take some time still for their parents to come home, so we could stay outside in the sun for a while longer. When I looked up, I saw Sarah had dozed of. I smiled. Sarah could really sleep anywhere. I started reading again. After a while I started to feel tired as well.
"Must be the heat." I tought to myself.
I tried to stay awake for a little bit longer. But eventually I gave up on staying awake, closed my eyes and dozed of to sleep.
So this was chapter 1.
I hope you liked it! Please R&R ;)
