So that was the end of my last "book"

Chapter 1

I couldn't hide this one. Another "love bite" too out in the open. Dad is gonna kill me.

"Stella Sarafine Mellark! What is that!" Great, not even 30 seconds had passed and I've already been screamed at. This is gonna get ugly.

"What is what?" I asked, maybe too innocently.

"You know quite well," he said with a firm tone. I rolled my eyes and tried to evade him and get to my room where I could expertly cover up this bruise. I've had enough before to know how.

Bad thing about my dad- he heaves giant sacks of flour all day, so he is pretty difficult to avoid in a narrow hallway. I lift the flour to, but I never got the benefits. I wish I could shrink and run around the side of his foot. But, I could...

I grabbed the collar of his shirt, air-sat, and slid between his legs. Now I just had to outrun him. And lock my door. Two seconds. He was getting faster. Now to paint my neck.
