Chapter 1- Here Comes the Rain
Lana awoke to the soft pit pat of raindrops splashing on her window. The comforting sound made her want to sleep more, but if she did she would be late for school, and that would NOT be a pretty sight to her Mom.
She raised her head and slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them trying to make the blurriness go away. Slowly she got up. Still sitting on her bed, she slipped her bunny slippers on. She wriggled her toes against its comforting and soft fur. She stood up wobbling, getting up early was NOT her thing, but she'd have to put up with it.
While walking to the bathroom she paused at her bedroom mirror. She looked at herself and beamed her acne was getting MUCH better. Only a few blackheads here and there, and her blonde hair was getting longer. No signs of a unibrow above her deep hazel eyes. Not the slightest bit of fat on her either.
She looked away from her mirror and waddled to the bathroom. After a quick shower and brushing her teeth she picked out her clothes. Slipping off her Aeropostale pj's and exchanging them for some American Eagle jeans and shirt. Walking down the stairs she could hear her Mom humming in the kitchen. She always hummed when preparing breakfast, Lunch, and Supper.
"what's for breakfast today?" she asked.
"oh, just your favorite blueberry pancakes with a side of French toast!" said Mom
"oohh what's the special occasion?" Lana asked jokingly.
"you must have bumped your head today, don't you remember it's field trip day!" Mom exclaimed happily.
"ohmygosh, I totally forgot, uggghhhh" Lana said with a slap to the forhead.
"ok im going to need a lot of food which means extra pancakes to pack with me, all my electronics, a bunch of books, some drawing untinsels , and more clothes." She breathed out with a sigh.
"whats all that for dear?" Mom asked puzzled
"well the field trips last for HOURS and last time a fell in mud and had to walk around in muddy clothes for the whole day" Lana sighed
"well ok here's your pancakes, I'll be cooking those extra ones for you"Mom said while putting a platter of pancakes on the table
Lana immediantly dug into the pancakes. She loved them, infact she could live without them. She shivered at the thought of going without blueberry pancakes. It's just how can people go without the wonderful taste of blueberry pancakes rolling around on your taste buds?
"you better go pack your things" Mom said.
"Kk" Lana replied.
She trotted upstairs to her room. While grabbing her backpack she saw something sparkle in the corner of her eye. It was her dad's revolver. His favorite gun. He used to take her to the shooting range all the time before he disappeared. No one knows where he is but, one day ill find him she thought.
She packed her things and ran downstairs.
"Bye Mom I love you" she said and gave her Mom a quick peck on the cheek
"Bye I love you to" She said while handing her lunchbox to her.
Lana opened the door and steppes outside and gasped in horror.
