Sorry it took that long to update. I really didn't expect reviews or follows that fast! I was a bit busy whith my newspaper round, homework and archery lessons. I changed the names a bit. Brandon is now Desley, Austin is now Adeo and Colette is now Florence. But anyway, here's chapter two!

Ringggg! My alarm clock rings at 7 AM. I put on some clothes and walk downstairs. I eat a slice of bread with some cheese and when I'm finished, my brother Kyle walks in. He yawns and start eating a slice of bread too. 'Good morning, Kyle.' He just yawns and start eating again.

I go in the bakery to greet my mom and dad, who are already busy baking for the new day. I see it's only half past eight. School starts at half past nine, so I decide to help a little before school.

I sweep the floor in the shop and I put some bread in special packages. Then its a quarter past nine so I put my shoes on, grab my jacket and shout: 'Bye mum, Bye dad!' and leave.

On my way I meet Adeo and we walk together. When were on the school yard, I immediately spot Florence. Adeo sees who I'm looking at and smiles. Then Florence spots us and starts walking our way after saying something to her friends.

Adeo starts walking away and says: 'Good luck, buddy.' I just stand there awkwardly until she starts talking. 'Hey, Desley, thanks for your cookie yesterday, it was delicious. But I wanted to give you this.' And she gives me a flower.

I wonder why, and then I see it's the same flower as on the cookie. I smile. 'Thanks, Florence' She smiles, too. Then she says:'But I have to go now. Bye!' And she walks back to her friends. They all start giggling when she reached them.

I stare at her for awhile. She says something to her friends, and they all stop giggling at once. I was thinking what she could have said, When I hear Adeo from behind me.

'You didn't do that bad, huh? What did she gave you anyway?' I show him the flower and he starts laughing. 'A flower? Usually the boy gives the girl flowers!' I am first mad at him for making fun of my present, but I can see the humor in it and start laughing, too.

Then the bell rings and we had to go to class. Adeo turns around and walks to his home. His dad hasn't enough money to send him to school, so he's gonna hunt with his dad. I hope he shoots some squirrels. I love squirrels, so I always give him a bit more for that.

I walk into math class. The teacher isn't there yet. I take a free seat next to the window, and Telly sits next to my. Telly Cartwright is my neighbor and my best friend next to Adeo. She's nice to everyone. We talk a bit about the wheater and then the teacher comes in.

I'm not really good at maths, so I listen carefully to the teacher. When the bell rings we all hurry to or next class, which is arts. I love arts, especially painting. Just like I do in the bakery. We must all make pairs and paint each other. I am in a team with Telly. I'm painting very concentrated. When I'm finished, I notice everyone around me is quiet.

'May I look now?' Telly asks. I nod. She looks at my painting and she's becomes quiet, too. I wait for her reaction, but when it doesn't come I just ask: 'So? How do you like it?' 'Desley, its amazing! Wow... its almost a picture!' She shows me her painting and I try not to laugh. Its just... bad. You can barely see its a person.

Then the teacher comes to grade our pictures, and I get the highest mark. Then the bell rings and we go to history. In history everyone is still talking about my painting and I'm really proud of it. The rest of the day goes by really fast, and when the last bell rings I walk home with Telly.

We talk about our day, the other subjects, my painting, the teachers. And when we're almost home we say goodbye and go our separate ways. When I'm home I greet my mom and dad. Then I go upstairs.

I make my homework for half an hour or so, and then my mom comes in. 'Darling, we're out of raisins, can you please get some?' she hands me the money and I walk out the door. It's really quiet and when I walk I hum some melodies. At our little supermarket I buy some raisins and talk a bit with the owner. I pay for the raisins and leave.

On my way home I see Florence and she smiles. 'Hi, Desley, what did you buy?' 'Just some raisins, what are you going to buy?' 'A white cloth, for bandages.' We stand there awkwardly, so I say: 'Well, bye then.' 'Bye.'

The rest of my way home I think of cool things I could have said to her. I give my mom the raisins and walk to the bakery. I'm still thinking about Florence when I put some breads in the oven. I'm in thoughts so I don't really watch the breads and one slips out of my hand.

I try to catch it, but my hand burns in the fire. 'Aaaaaaah!' I scream. It hurts really bad and the skin is immediately red. My dad looks at it and says: 'keep it under cold water. Then we go to the apothecary for some burn medicine. When I walk to the tap I think: 'Hmmmmm, the apothecary... Maybe this burn isn't so bad after all.'

This was chapter two, hope you like it!
