Disclaimer-I don't own anything. And that is that.
Amelia Verdanez stood on her balcony, staring out at the beautiful sunrise. She had just moved to this town a couple of days ago, but she already loved everything about it. It was peaceful and quiet, and the beach was only a couple blocks away from her huge house.
She was glad that it was summertime so that she didn't have to waste her time at school. She sighed as the sun finally rose all the way and walked back into her room closing the balcony doors behind her. She pulled out a pair of black shorts and a white tanktop out of her closet, throwing them on. She grabbed her sandals and ran a brush through her long, straight black hair. She picked up a hair tie and put her hair into a loose bun.
She ran out of her room and down the long stairs, into the kitchen. Her mother was standing at the stove, cooking breakfast and her father was sitting on the table, sipping his coffee and reading the paper. She smiled and sat down at the table. Her father looked at her and smiled.
"How did you sleep Lia?"
"I slept fine, papa. I'm not very hungry this morning mama, I think I will just go walk Lady."
She stood up and took a sip of apple juice just as her younger sister, Tetra, came into the kitchen.
"Oh, querida, you must eat." Her mother with her Spanish accent as she sat down at the table.
"I am not hungry but gracias mama." She kissed her mother on the cheek and grabbed her dog's leash off the counter. She smiled at her sister and walked to the front door.
"Lady, come here puppy." She said loudly.
The black and white dog came bounding down the stairs and ran towards Amelia. She laughed and pet her, putting the leash on her collar. She opened the door and walked out with the dog.
It was a beautiful day as she walked down the street. It was not too hot outside yet not too cold, just perfect. Amelia smiled at people as they walked past and said hello. Then just as she turned the corner to her house, Lady saw a cat across the street, and took off after it, pulling Amelia with her.
"Lady, no, bad dog, leave that cat alone." But the dog wouldn't listen and kept running after the cat. As they turned the corner, Amelia smacked right into someone and the leash came off her hand. She closed her eyes as she felt her cheeks getting warmer.
