Here's Chapter 1 of The Day That Changed Our Lives.

Chapter 1.

Beep, Beep,

Beep, Beep.

Beeped my alarm clock as I turned away from the never-ending noise trying to sleep some more but it was no use; with a long, heavy sigh, I finally got up from bed and pressed the snooze button. Yawning, and stretching my stiff limbs, I saw that it was reading 7:15 A.M. And that meant, it was time for our first day of School once again. I gently went over to my good friend Alexis Butler who was still slumbering peacefully in her sleeping bag as I touched and poked her who had some bags under her eyes and smiled while rubbing them.

"Wake up sleepy-head. Do you know what day it is?" I asked in a playful tone as she grinned. "I know, I know you don't have to tell me; I'm getting up." rolling her bag, she then got her towel, toothbrush, and a clean set of clothes going straight into the bathroom closing the door behind her as I watched with my hands on my hips and shaking my head. Alexis Butler has been my faithful and best companion since we were just 6 years old at the time. At first, when I had met her at Girl Scout Meetings on Monday Evenings, I thought she was rude and disrespectful and didn't want to get in her way but as time went on, I saw that she was very fun, energetic, and loved to talk a lot to the point we would always sit together and talk about important events and what was going on around us. It didn't take long that we were inseparable and acted like we were sisters.

After getting dressed, and our hair combed, My Mom came upstairs to see if we were awake and to her surprise, she saw that we were ready. "Good Morning girls, I see that you two are ready to get your learning on huh?" We both nodded. "You bet! And the best part is, we can sit together like last year!" We all laughed as she told us to come down for breakfast where we saw my Dad drinking his hot cup of coffee and reading the newspaper grinning at us. "Morning ladies, I see that the early birds get the worms." He chuckled as we hugged him tightly. "Morning to you too there Dad. What's going on in the paper?" "Oh same ole' same ole' nothing new ever goes around here." "Don't ever say that, I'm sure that when you get to work, it will be a different story you'll see" I winked as we laughed.

After our nourishment, it was time to go. We all kissed Mom goodbye as she gave us our lunch for today and waved but then, she gave us a warning for a twister was heading its way. We were too faraway to hear and had just started walking up the street to catch the school bus. "Thanks for letting me stay the night Savanah." Alexis smiled at me as I did the same. "No problem, besides it was the best thing so we can go together. It's about time we convince Dad to let us go by ourselves instead of him wanting to drive; you know how he and Mom are at times." We giggled.

Soon, it had started to get very windy. The strong gusts were blowing the leaves on the trees as the branches were moving. "Oh my gosh, what is with this weird weather?" Alexis asked as she held on tight to my hand; we were trying to make a move but with each step we took, it felt like we were going to get lifted off the ground any second. Then there was a trouble; a large twister was coming its way. We stared at it wide-eyed. "RUN!" I shouted as we tried to pick up the pace but no matter how much, we felt like we were getting nowhere. It was getting closer and closer. "Savanah I'm scared!" Alexis shouted out as I looked back at her seeing the expression painted on her face but it was too late. The twister then swallowed us whole as we screamed for our lives still holding onto each-other's hands as we closed our eyes and prayed that where-ever it would lead us, we hoped that we get back on the ground in one piece.
