A/N: O.K. this is my first, and I mean VERY first fan fic. I also don't
have a "beta reader" or editor or whatever so if it is horribly incompetent
up to your standards, whatever I don't care! Also I am writing without a
rough draft so that means I don't know the rating or even the story line
yet! So forgive my incoherence.
A/N: authors notes are in these thingies
thoughts are in this
and speech is in "this"
1 MELODY
As the dawn reached its peak and the nightingales dwindled their song, there was a horrid noise. "RRRuhhh-rrruhhh-rrruhhh!" And suddenly a loud groan, "Shut up you stupid machine!", the girl got up, turned off her "state-of-the-art alarm clock", tore off her clothes and "hopped" into the shower.
She had been dreaming of Tortall. Her librarian, a couple years ago, introduced her to that wonderful world. Since then she slept- ate- and drank- Tortall. And for the millionth time that week (millionth being an under statement) she dreamt of being there right now. Sigh, how she pitied herself for living on the reached planet called "Earth".
When she finally finished her shower she got dressed and put on her makeup. Thank God for 30 day hair dye, she thought to herself as she looked at her smoky-brown-curly hair. She dyed it parsially so she could look like Daine and parcially so she could hide her natural hair color, which people, as far as she could remember, made fun of. When she finished putting on her makeup she looked at her eyes, they were of the deepest blue found in the ocean. That was the only part of herself she actually liked. Sure, she was very pretty indeed, stubborn chin, full lips, button nose, but her eyes were the best. She liked them because they must have belonged to her birth mother. Considering her father had the most ugly brown eyes yuck brown eyes, sorry for all of you who have them, I pity you!. Yes, her mother died, she died giving birth to her one and only daughter. Well at least that's what her father says.
"Melody! You'll be late for school!" her stepmother called up stairs. "ugh" was Melody's answer. She glided across her messy room and picked up her school bag, ran down stairs, grabbed some toast and started walking to school, not even acnowleging her stepmother.
Melody was dressed in a pair of Express blue jeans, a baby blue and navy striped shirt and a pair of baby blue flip flops. She stopped at, her friends, Paige's house. A moment later, Paige ran out of her house with two dogs trailing her and her mother trying to hold them back. She slumped over trying to catch her breath, "oh.*gasp*.hi.*gasp*.Daine.". " Hey.Alanna". We had been calling each other Tortall names for a year. She like Alanna, I personally think she's a slut, Melody likes Numair so she is Daine Although Paige likes Numair too I like him more, Thought Melody. Anyway it works out. " So how was the weekend? Who was your snuggle-bunny this week" Melody asked and then grinned evily. Paige just smirked "Well, I went to the mall with Jeremy, made him bye me a couple outfits, that was on Friday. On Saturday I went Putt-putting with Ryan, then I went to the movies with Brian. Then Landon took me to dinner. On Sunday I went to the fair with Gary, or Gareth as I like to call him (she smirked more) and this weeks'snuggle-bunny'was Adam"sluts like sluts I guessshe finished. They started walking, Melody secretly envied Paige, because Paige always had at least one boy friend, Melody had kind of a 'dry spell' with boys for a couple years. She couldn't figure out why guys always flirted with her but never asked her out. Oh well something to ponder on the weekends. Melody thought.
They started walking towards Geroff High School when Melody asked Paige, "Adam? You mean the hottest guy in school Adam? The one with the cutest red-coppery hair, Adam?" Paige grinned. "Yes that Adam. So how was your weekend?" Paige asked. Melody just slumped and mumbled "Well it was total bores-ville, all I did was eat, sleep, lock myself in my room and draw." They chatted for a while until they finally got to school. " Well this is where we depart." Melody said. " Good bye!" Paige sighed.
After a long-long day at school Melody finally returned home.
" Where have you been." Her father asked. He was drunk.again. "At school daddy." Melody replied sweetly. She had gotten used to his drunken acts and his abusiveness. " I need you to pick up something,"his words were slurred. "go get me some beers"
" I think you've had enough already." Melody mumbled, but he heard it. They proceed to fight, and an hour later Melody stumbled into her room with a bruised arm and a bloody lip.
She had had enough. This time he had gone too far. She gathered up a hoard of outfits, slammed them in her suitcase and proceeded to write a note.
To whom it may concern,
Since it is painfully obvious I am not wanted in this house I have decided to take my leave. I'm sure you all will be much happier.
~Melody
She left the note on her bed and slipped out the window. She started walking and stopped by Paige's house. Should I tell her? Should I tell anyone? No. especially not Paige. She's probably canoodling with Adam. So she kept on going to.well she didn't know yet but she was going somewhere instinct didn't tell her yet. She started humming, and that progressed into mumbling, which progressed into all out singing. If there is one thing she loves it is the effect she has on things when she sings. That's why she joined choir, but that doesn't matter now. Melody was so shrouded in her thoughts that she didn't see the big cliff ahead..
so what'dya think? Hey its my first fan fiction go easy on me! And review dammit review! Flame me if you want I've always wanted to be flamed!
