Here's the first chapter, I hope you all like it!
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Be-
I hit my alarm clock off and rolled over to fall back asleep.
"Chris, get your lazy butt out of bed. You're gonna be late for school!"
"Ugh." I groaned. "Five more minutes."
She pulled all of my covers off. "Now!" She shouted. The cold air shot me out of bed.
"Okay, I'm up." I grabbed a t-shirt and jeans out of my closet and got ready for school. I slipped my black converse on and walked downstairs for breakfast.
I stack of pancakes were waiting for me on the table and my mom was doing the dishes.
"Mom, you didn't have to make pancakes. I was just going to have a bowl of cereal."
"I know, I just felt like making you some pancakes."
I looked at the time. "Mom, you have to get to work." I noticed she wasn't even dressed for work.
"Oh, I completely forgot." She scrambled around the kitchen, trying to clean up everything, dropping pans everywhere in the process. "Shit."
"It's okay mom, I've got it." I said as I picked up the pans and tried to fix the kitchen up.
"Thanks honey." She gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Do you need a ride to school?"
"Nah, its okay, you're late enough." She laughed a little and went upstairs to change. Being a single mom was hard. I tried to help around the house as much as I could, but that really help out my mom. She was always stressed and it made me feel bad. She constantly spoils me, even though I tell her not to. In my opinion, she should be spoiling herself.
Once the kitchen was all cleaned up, I said goodbye to my mom and walked down the street to meet up with my two friends, Patrick and Jessica.
"Yo Chris, what's up man?" Pat was this short, scrawny kid who made a joke about everything. He's been my best friend since I could remember. We're like brothers.
"Hey man." I said. "Hey Jess."
"Hi Cody." Jessica was the only one who called me by my middle name. She was one of the prettiest girls I knew. She always knew how to make me smile. Pat and I became friends with her when she moved here in 7th grade. She was getting bullied by some 8th graders and Pat and I stood up for her. We got beat up instead, and we've been friends ever since.
"So are you guys ready for our last day of finals?" We had had finals this week, which meant one week until summer vacation. Today was finally our last day so everyone was excited.
"Ah, whatever. They're nothing to fuss over." Patrick never really cared about school, he kind of just breezed through life.
"Pat, these are our finals we're talking about." Jessica stared. "If you fail these you wont be going to 11th grade."
"That doesn't scare me, I'll be fine." Pat said, extremely sure of himself.
Jessica rolled her eyes. No matter how hard she tried, Patrick would never listen.
"Since we get out at noon, do you guys want to do some shopping on Main Street after school?"
"Ugh, not again!" Patrick groaned. I hit him on the arm. "I mean Yay!" He said sarcastically.
I laughed. "Sure jess, we'll go."

It was finally noon, which meant summer vacation!
I met up with Jess and Patrick in front of our school.
"Are you guys ready to go shopping?" Jess said excited as ever. It made me laugh.
"Woo, let's go shopping." Pat said, being sarcastic again. "I should go grab my purse." He said, talking in a gay voice. I hit him over the head, and we all started to laugh.
We walked down Main Street, Jessica stopping in every couple of stores, buying stuff for the summer. While she was in some clothing store, Patrick and I decided to go into the convience store next door.
We started walking through the isles, just looking around when we stopped at a rack of magazines. Pat and I picked up a couple and started flipping through.
"Hey, isn't this that girl Jess likes?" He said, showing me an article about Miley Cyrus, the girl Jessica idolizes.
"Haha, yeah it is." Patrick started reading the article when Jessica came in and started to read over his shoulder.
As I was flipping through the magazine I had, I noticed Patrick's eyes widen. I looked at him weird, then I saw Jessica's eye widen as well. "What's up guys?" I asked then curiously.
Jessica took the magazine from Patrick's hands and started to read aloud, "Miley Cyrus, may have a long lost brother. Does she know about him? Does he know about her?"
"Yeah, so?" I said.
"I'm not done." She said, then kept on reading. "Our sources have found out her unknown brother is named Christopher Cody and is living somewhere on the east coast with his mother."
Now, it was my turn for me to be shocked. I grabbed the magazine from her hands and read the article over.
"Do you think it's really me? I mean, magazines lie all the time…"
Jessica just shrugged. "I have no idea."
"UGH!" I went and paid for the magazine and walked out of the store, Jessica and Patrick following close behind. "I've got to get home."
Soo...what did you think?
