Chapter 6 - Fireworks

According to the newspaper, a new family had moved in by the beach, so mom told me to go down there and welcome them to the neighborhood.

I saw him as soon as the cab pulled up outside the house. He was sitting on a lounger reading in the dark. His windswept black hair shone in the moonlight, his face deep in concentration. As I got out of the cab he looked up, his dark eyes pulling away from his page and a corner of his mouth turning upwards into a half smile.
"Hey, I'm Danny," he smiled holding out his hand.

"Uh, I-I'm Caitlyn," I managed to stutter when our hands met. As large fingers clasped around mine, I felt something. It felt like fireworks were exploding inside me and my heart beat faster and became warmer. This was what mom had described happened to her when she first met Dad. As I stared into his eyes I was sure he felt them too.

We started talking and mid-conversation, I asked him if he was single. My heart soared when he told me that he was! 
I found out that he'd moved from Pleasantview and that his mom died after giving birth to his little sister Alexa.

We quickly became friends and before I knew it, I had to go home before the cops got me again. We hugged, but it was much warmer than I expected and my heart skipped a few beats.

I broke away from the hug when mom texted me telling me that dinner was ready.
"Bye Caitlyn, I'll call you," He smiled, my eyes glued into his deep chocolate brown eyes.

When I got home, I didn't care that Dad had the TV too loud. I didn't care that my grilled cheese sandwich had gone cold.

I didn't care that the springs were broken in my mattress when I went to bed.

I was smitten ♥♥

Chapter 5 - Jordan

On Friday 17th September 2010, Mom went into labor. Dad went with her in the cab to the hospital.

Then at 11:34pm, Jordan Harry Greene was born (The white is bad CC). I didn't get to meet him until the next morning because I went to bed whilst mom was in the hospital. Mom's been talking about wanting another baby, but Jordan is only a few days old, I told her to have another when Jordan's a little older.

Days passed and Jordan grew, fast. I never knew that looking after a baby could be so hard!

Mom and Dad were barely getting any sleep because they were constantly being woken up by Jordan's crying.

One day after school, I decided to go and visit Latischa Arthurs, a nice girl who I had some classes with. We talked for a while, then I went home.

Mom had had yet another makeover, which in my opinion, was nice but made her look 13.

With the money we'd saved up, dad managed to decorate my bedroom, which I love!

Chapter 4 - Unfair

Mom took me to the doctor after my fainting drama. He said that it was caused by stress, shock and exhaustion, and prescribed 2 weeks off school and plenty of rest, which unlike mom, was totally fine with me!

 I totally adjusted to the idea  that in a few months I would be a big sister. Mom wanted a surprise; but let me choose the names Jordan for a boy and Taylor for a girl, which she thought were perfect.

 Loren and I had become best friends so one night after dinner, I went over the road to her house.

 Until the police turned up, because I was out past curfew! (I forgot to take a picture.) I didn't get it! I was only across the road, though mom still lectured me.
"I don't care how close to home you were! I give you a curfew so that things like this don't happen! You're grounded until you get an A in school." She lifted the grounding after I got extra credit from my English teacher the next day.

I started walking to school with Loren because Latischa had moved house, and at least I wasn't on my own.

As months passed, mom became huge, it now all seemed real. The baby would be here in weeks, I was so excited! Dad was trying extra hard in work so that we could get enough money to remodel the house. Mom was on a paid vacation and I sent in chapters of my book to the pulisher to get money. Soon, I could finally be an author!

Chapter 3 - Shock

That day, everything seemed fine.

On the bus everything seemed fine.

 Walking into school everything seemed fine.

 At home everything seemed fine.

 Everything was fine, until mom surprised me, by coming home from work earlier than usual, looking a little strange.
"Hey mum!" I smiled as she walked in.

 "Caitlyn honey, can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked.
"What is it mum?" more nervously now, she laughed.

"I'm pregnant!" she smiled.

Just one look at her now extremely eye-catching bump and it all went black.

Chapter 2 - First Day...

The late night did not help that morning, I found it extremely difficult to get out of bed at 5am.

 I wore something appropriate, yet sophisticated and tied my hair back, I liked it!

I brushed my teeth,

 and gussied up before I was finally presentable.

After grabbing a bowl of cereal, I grabbed my bag.

 I'd decided to walk to school, avoiding the bus. Plus, it wasn't that far.

 Arriving at school, there were already a group of people there. I recognized a few people among them, they lived in my street.

I had had a good day and I'd made friends with two girls I had classes with,

 Loren

 and Latischa.
Loren lived across the street and Latischa lived next door, they were nice.

Tiredly, I walked back home.

 I sat on my bed to read a textbook, but fell asleep, I was exhausted!

 It was 6:30pm when I woke up again. Mom and Dad were still at work, so I attempted to cook my dinner, settling with salad; I did not want to end up setting the house on fire!

 When mom returned home, I noticed that she'd dyed her hair back to her natural colour, and hadn't straightened it into her usual cropped bob. Something wasn't right.

 I thought about it whilst writing a chapter of my book, before passing out in bed.

 Goodnight!

What do you think is wrong with Eleanor? Comment with your thoughts :D

Chapter 1 - Wishes... (Introduction)

As Princess Caitlyn stared down at her...
Ugh!

Hey, I'm Caitlyn Greene and I'm 15 years old.

I

I live with my mum Eleanor and my dad James. They were 14 when I was born, so mum doesn't want me to make the same mistakes as she did.

 I dream of becoming a professional author, I want to be rich with a huge house.

After I was born, my mom and dad lived together at my grandmother's house, but after she died, we moved here, to Sunset Valley, with only §16,000 to buy furniture for this bungalow. Mom is trying to make it as nice as possible, but it really isn't the house of my dreams.

Tomorrow will be my first day at Sunset Valley's Community school for the Gifted. Naturally, I'm terrified.

So, being the ever (not) prepared student, I decided to get a (not so) early night, at 1am...


See you tomorrow!
