(1) How I Got My Name

Have you ever had a deep dark secret and can't tell anyone? Well, I have a couple of deep dark secrets, which I can't tell people because they will think that I am crazy and I need to be placed into a mental hospital and have to take some pills. I know I am not crazy, and I don't need to be in a mental hospital, where I have to take some crazy pills to feel numb inside and I can't even use my superpower of a gift or whatever it's called these days. I do know that there are some people out there somewhere in the world, who have the same kind of secret as me but different in many ways. One of my deepest and darkest secrets is that I am an angel. I know it sounds crazy at first, but it is who I am, and I can't help it that I am an angel, plus I can't change who I am going to be for the rest of my life. It's hard to keep secrets from many people that I know and trust. Sometimes I just wish people would know my secret and be fine with it, instead of thinking I need help or something like I should be locked away and have the key be thrown away where I can find it.

I have a special power of healing people, plants, animals, I am not sure what my power really does, but I just know I can heal many things but someone day I will understand what my power is and how to control it. I have two beautiful and huge fluffy soft white wings that come out of my shoulder blades, my wings are white with silver sparkles all over my feathers like a magical dream. My family is angels too, but we have to keep our wings hidden from humans, so they won't freak out or do something weird to us like a freak show or experiment on us in top-secret federal laboratories such as Area-51. One of the laws of the supernatural world is never to tell a human about yourself or the supernatural world, the concessions when it comes to breaking one of the laws and there are only a few people in the world who broke the law and now they are serving jail time in a special jail just for the supernatural.

I live with my mom Natalia and my sister Skye; they are the only people I have left in this world. My mom works at the local hospital as a nurse practitioner; she is also the head nurse of all the nurses. She sometimes works forty-eight hours it depends on her work shifts or has some emergencies, so I look after Skye, while she works thoughts long shifts at the hospital. Skye is homeschooled until she is about fourteen like me, where she will be selected to attend a preparatory school which is more like an academy just for the supernatural world. The school is called Night Crest Preparatory Academy. In the fall it will be my first year there; I am kind of sacred and also nervous because I won't be living with my mom and sister for the school year. I don't have many friends besides my mom and sister until I get to school. I will miss them dearly, and I will always keep in touch with them when I can. I used to have a dad, but he almost died in a tragic car crash with my sister and me, somehow my powers saved my sister and me, but my father wasn't so lucky. He almost died in a traumatic car accident but died shortly in the hospital where my mom works at. I don't remember much about him or his death and neither does my sister since we were both just kids. I am now fourteen years old, and she is about twelve years old. We are about fourteen months apart, some people think we're twins; we do look alike each other, some people can tell because they know who is. We have different personalities, likes and dislikes and many other things.

I live in a small town called Valley Cove in Washington State, the population is about one thousand or closes near that amount, but it hasn't been updated in a couple of years. Valley Cove is on the Pacific coast of the ocean where there are some beautiful local beaches and forests that lead right to the ocean. Valley Cove town was named after being located because the town is on the coast, and it is in a valley between mountains nearby and the coast. The town isn't like a huge city; it's more like a sleepy town and pretty much everyone knows each other also friendly, not everyone in this town is always friendly, those people like to keep themselves who make me think that they are hiding something or don't want to be a social citizen in this town. We don't have a mall, so we have to go to a nearby city to go shopping which is about twenty miles away. The town only has small shops, cafes, bookstores, farmers market and other things trivial things that a small town has. The town has a medium size hospital that you can go too if there's an emergency or just for a hospital check-up or any sort of medical needs. I love living in this town, it's way better than a city because of no high school drama or any type of crime, diverse types of problems for a city. I am a country small-town type of girl who loves to be by the ocean such as playing sports outdoors, reading a book and enjoying the sun, or even catching a wave or two by surfing or swimming in the ocean.

Sometimes I wonder how I got my name, I do think it has to do with something with being an angel, angel mythology, or something that has to do with my birth, I have no clue but one of these times I need to ask my mother when she has some time or after she comes home after a shift at the hospital. My mother always has the right answers when I ask her questions, even though some of them are funny or serious ones. I love to learn lots of things from her like from the supernatural world to a medical or anything I can think of. I do try to catch her while she is coming from the front of the door of the house while putting her stuff away after getting done from work. Sometimes I pop out of nowhere and scare her to half to death just to ask her a simple question, which can be funny at times but other times it's not funny. As my mother walked into the house after a long shift, dropping some of her stuff on the small bench and her coat on the coatrack then walked into the kitchen to start getting ready to make dinner. When I asked her...

"Hi mom, how was work, I hope today wasn't a bad or busy day at the hospital?" I said as Skye ran to mom to give her a big warm hug and a kiss which always makes mom's day.

"Today it was a good day, not to busy but it was slow which it is a good thing I get to spend more times with my two favorite girls in the whole wide world," she said, sounding a little tired.

"Yay!! I can't wait to watch a movie or play a game after dinner. Speaking of dinner, we decided to make dinner tonight to surprise you mommy and we thought you deserved a nice hot and delicious dinner without making it," Skye said with a cheerful smile.

"Mmmm... the chicken and potatoes smell really good right now, thank you girls and this is really nice of you both since I am tired of working." my mother said while getting some plates from one of the many cupboards.

"I helped to mom; I helped in mashing the potatoes and making sure the table was set but I just forgot the plates, I Skyler said smiling while sitting at the kitchen counter putting her makers away in her little box.

"Yup, Skye helped me with dinner and set the table, don't worry mom I gave her some easy things to do so she wouldn't get hurt. Plus, she does make a cute little chef. You're welcome and anytime just let us know. Plus, we love making dinner for you. Skye, can you please go wash up for dinner please?" I asked while putting the food on the table.

When it was time for dinner, the sun was just beginning to set for the night and the sunset was beautiful and breathtaking. Skye ran to the table and sat in her favorite chair, mom and I sat on the chairs that are the opposite of Skye. We began to eat and began to have a dinner conversation, and I asked mom...

"Mom, how did I get my name? It is because that we are angels or something?" I said asked puzzledly.

"Well yes and no. You got your name because you were named after your grandmother, she was an amazing mother of your father and that's how you got your name Ayla in fact if I can remember your name means "halo of the light around the moon, also 'mist or air, which also means 'breeze or breath." mom said happily.

"What about my mom? How did I get my name? "Skye said while trying to scoop some mash potatoes on her folk.

"Good Skye I think you should know one reason?" mom said while she was putting butter on her piece of bread with a knife.

"Oh, I think I know. It's because we are angels, and we are somehow related to the sky, right?" my sister said while she was talking with her mouth open a bit.

"Yes, that is right. But I like Skye because it's reminding me of the sky and very beautiful and bright just like you. Also, your name means "sky and cloud" and "home of god or goddess," mom said and touches Skye nose with her finger which she smiled.

"So, mom, how did you get your name? What does your name mean?" I said while reaching for more chicken on the dining room table.

"Well, my name means" dew from God and spirituality. I was named after the goddess of fertility," mom said while reaching her cup of ice tea.

"I have no idea what that means but maybe when I hit puberty, oh, by the way, mom I think Ayla is bleeding out of her vagina again because is out of baby diapers for also she is being a grumpy too," Skye said being clueless and looking around the table for more ice tea.

"I beg your pardon, what did you just say?" My mother said while trying to catch her breath after choking and whipping her mouth from spitting some ice tea.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe she said that I am so embarrassed right now," I said while trying to hide in my chair while my face is turning red.

"Relax sweetie, there is nothing to be worried about, it's life and right now this isn't the time to talk about puberty," my mother said while fishing her dinner.

"Yeah, so about us finish cleaning up and eat dessert. We watch "Twilight Woods" if that's okay with both you," I said while trying to change the subject.

"Fine don't forget to tell me soon or later when it's time. I am going to set up the movie since I am too young to make popcorn with the stove," Skye said while running into the living room.

After dinner, we cleaned up and then had Skies' favorite dessert, which happens to Chocolate Chip Mint pie, she loves the pie because it was all over her mouth and her nose just like when she was little. My mom and I were laughing because it was so funny and so cute at the same time; Skye wiped her mouth and nose then smiled. We made some popcorn and more ice tea, then helping Skye with setting up the movie and the couch with some pillows and blankets. Mom and I took turns drying the dishes while Skye went to go get ready for bed and picked out her favorite movie; "Twilight Woods." We all watched the movie and after the movie, we all went to bed and fell asleep.

(2) The Adventure

In the morning I woke up from the sun peeking through my bedroom curtains and having my alarm clock blaming thought out of my bedroom. I slowly got up to stretch my wings to get some air which feels so good. I got ready for the day with a fresh cold shower due to having a heat wave in the middle of the summer, which doesn't often happen here in Washington. Today is Skye and I adventure day when once a week, we end up picking a place somewhere in town where we have fun exploring and hang out together. I thought of the idea of going to the local bookstore and cafe to get some books with Skye since she also loves to read. I love reading and writing in my spare time and I never go anywhere without my travel bag. Last night I suggested to Skye if she would like to go get a book today from the bookstore since my mother was sleeping before her next shift at the hospital, and we didn't want to wake her up. Once I got downstairs in the kitchen, I say my sister eating her cereal Reese's puffs and cocoa puffs which is an odd type of mix cereal, and she made me a bowl too. After we ate our breakfast then we started to clean up; after we were done, I went to mom's room to ask her...

"Hey mom, I am going to the bookstore and then Belle's café afterward, I told Skye she can come with me from last night. I just wanted to make sure you know before you call the police and think she went missing or something. If it's okay with you, so you can sleep so more " I asked my mom while sitting on her bed.

"Yeah, that's fine takes some money on the dresser okay? Take some money for Skye too and get some lunch too," she said sleepily and trying to hide her face from the sunlight that is peeking through her bedroom curtains.

"Oh okay, I am going to take sixty bucks' okay mom? Don't worry we will eat lunch too, thanks mom love you."I said when I took the money off mom's dresser and put in my wallet for a safe keeping.

"Have fun and be safe, I love you guys. See you later before I have to leave for the night shift. I am going to back to sleep nightly." mom said when she was going to back to sleep with a sound of snoring.

I came downstairs and found Skye packing up her messenger bag with her things that she is taking with her. I told her that she can tag along with me to the bookstore and the café. She does love it when we got to the bookstore that is about ten blocks away from our house. I grabbed the keys and locked the door; we are on a new adventure today that what Skye said.

"Ayla, are we going to go the bookstore and then to Belle's afterward like last time? Skye said while adjusting the straps on her bag.

"Yeah, we are going to Bella's café after the bookstore, and mom gave us some money to spend. Mom said we can grab a book or two if we want but do have to get some lunch, though." I said while checking my phone really quick.

" Yay, that's my favorite café in the whole wide world I hope they're still of my chocolate muffins" my sister while jumping up and down because she was so happy that we were going.

About fifteen minutes later, we were finally at the bookstore. The bookstore was kind of small but sells the best books in the town. This bookstore is where I always get my books to read, and I have been here since I was a little kid. Before my dad passed away, he would always take my sister and I here every single week and always takes to Bella's cafe to eat afterward. Skye likes this bookstore too, but she doesn't remember that dad took her here many years ago before he died. I went to the teen section while Skye went to go check out the new section of books. I saw a book called "Twilight Woods," Skye's favorite movie but in a book. It wasn't too thick for her to read, but she likes big books and the challenges of reading it just like me. I picked up the book and went to go look for her, a couple of minutes later I found her sitting in a chair, she looks very sad.

"Hey Sky, look at what I found just for you... Why do you look so sad?"? I said while hugging her.

"I... can't find a book... you know "Twilight Woods" movie but a book," she said while looking down at the floor between snuggles and breathing heavy.

"Well guess what I found. I found the book you are looking for and I got an extra copy for me, so we can read along if you want too. I can have a book that reminds me of you while I am at school." I said and gave her a copy of the book.

"Thanks, Ayla, I am really happy now and how many weeks do you have to leave for school?" she asked while looking at the book.

"About a month which is about four weeks, so I need to spend lots of time with my best friend and sister. Let's go pay for these books and go to Bella's. "I said and kissed her cheek just little when she was little.

"Yeah let's go, and I bet I can race you to the front desk ready one... two... three go!!" she said while running and I followed her trying to catch up to her, she was faster than I was maybe because she was smaller and younger than I was but hey she is having fun and I can't stop her.

"I win so that means I get a big cookie at the café? Skyler asked and laughed.

"Yup and a big glass of milk with a mouse go with it," I said and started to laugh with her.

"Ha-ha very funny I don't think mom would let me have a mouse in the house," she said and laughed again.

The bookstore keeper rang up our books while Skye ran to get some bookmarks for us that says best friends and sisters for life. He told us our books cost about thirty bucks and I gave Skye the money, so she can give the money to him since she wanted to feel like a grown up. After we had got our change and put the books in a bag, we walked out of the bookstore and head to Bella's Cafe. We ended up getting a huge chocolate chip cookie and a big glass of milk that we shared. We stay there like an hour chit chatting about school and how I would miss her. We decided to on my laptop that had a secret code only the supernatural world knows about. It blocks what we on and looking up so no ones what we up too such as the humans in this town. The town has more supernatural people than humans, but those humans are sworn to secrecy and they happen to protect us.

While looking up the academy website, we decided to look up the uniforms which look the same but a bit different between the boys and girls. The girls would have to wear black skirts that go down to the knee, green knee-high socks, white button polo shirts with buttons, green and black striped plaid ties and black shoes. And the boys would have to wear black pants and shoes, white button polo shirts with buttons, green and black striped ties and green socks. We also have a black jacket which has our school's logo on it. I am not a huge fan of wearing uniforms, but oh well I guess I have to survive the horrors of wearing the uniforms. We get our own dorm with some dorm-roommates, how cool is that and I hope that my new roommate can be my friend.

I signed off my laptop and started to pack up our stuff and to head home. But first, we order a chocolate chip muffin for mom, because we knew that she would get hungry later at work. While walking home we saw the town's pet store and Skye begged me to go into the store and looked around for a bit. I gave up on trying to say no because mom wanted us to be home before dinner before she has to go to work. I said yes because I didn't want her to throw a huge hissy-fit in front of people and make me look a bad person. I took her hand and walked into the pet store. As soon as we walked into the pet store, we saw some small cute kittens that were for sale.

The kittens looked so cute and cuddly that makes you feel like you have to pick one of them up and start cuddling with them and you don't even want to let go. Skye saw one kitten that she really likes and wanted it so bad. The kitten was orange with beastly brown eyes, with white paws and a white star shape that is between the eyes. As soon as I saw her face, I knew that the kitten was right for her. She picked up the kitten and started cuddling with it. It was so cute that I even took a picture of them on my phone and set as my background. Skyler looked at me and asked...

"Ayla, do you think that mom would let get a kitten, like for a birthday present, which you know my birthday is coming up? my sister asked me while looking at the kittens play with each other.

"I don't know Skye, but I would ask mom later and plus your birthday is in like what?" I said to look at the cat I want to get her.

"In about two weeks I can't believe that I am going to turn thirteen years old this year," Skye said sounding very happy about it.

"Me too, soon you are going to be a teenager like me and not a pre-teen anymore. Plus, you get to finally have the talk with mom about puberty '' I told Skye while a grin.

"Yeah, that's going to be a fun talk, I am going to small animals," my sister said before she ran off.

"Yeah, sure just don't get bit or pooped on, also don't try to steal a spider this time, you know mom got mad at the last time you sneak one home" I teased then stick out my tongue.

"Ha-ha very funny oh I will, just kidding I won't," she said then we both laughed.

"I am going to find you in thirty minutes or so," I told her before we both walked away from the cat area.

"Okay, later," she said and ran off to the small animal area.

As soon as she walked away, I went to the cashier to find out how much is the orange kitten and see if someone already adopted it. The lady at the front desk said no, and I told her that I would buy the kitten for my sister's birthday present. The kitten cost about five hundred dollars which I saved up from working at the sports store in the summer. The cashier rang up the price for the kitten; I wrote a check for and gave it to her while a smile on my face. I know that my sister would be happy that she got the kitty that she wanted, and I get to come to pick it up soon after the kitten got its shots and exam from the local vet. I watched the cashier put up a sign saying the kitten had just been adopted. About thirty minutes later I want to go find Skye and make her know that it was time to start heading home for dinner. I was thinking about making Mac & cheese with hot dogs for dinner which was one of our favorites which sounds good right about now. I found Skye and told her it's time to go. While we are walking out of the store, she said...

"Aww... the kitten that I wanted is already sold," she said and had a huge frown on her face.

"I know, I think I know who is going to be that kitten owner soon," I said with a smile on my face.

"Really? Tell me... Tell me please, I promise not to tell anyone" she said with the cutest puppy face ever.

"Well, you are going to find out soon," I said and took her hand and walked out of the store to home.

Skye didn't know yet the kitten we saw in the pet store; the orange fluff ball was going to be hers soon. I was so happy because she didn't know that I bought it with some help from mom. I can't believe that my sister was going to turn thirteen to two weeks. It's a good thing that I ordered the chocolate chip mint pie already and mom is going to have to pick it up from the bakery. I also bought some stuff for the kitty such as food, a litter box with cat litter, toys and other things that the kitten will need. When we got home, mom left with a note. She must have gotten off of work early before we got home. My mom must off read our minds or something because she was making Mac & cheese with hot dogs. I was going to set the table, but first I had to hang up my keys and washed my hands from petting the kittens at the pet store. When my hands were dry, I set the table and Skye went to go put food on the table. We all sat down and had dinner then clean up. We played a couple of games before going to bed and fell asleep.

(3) Academy Email

 About a week later my mom came into my bedroom, woke me up just to tell me that she was going in early for work, and she wanted to check her email to see how many hours she will be working next week, she logged into her email off of my laptop. My laptop and phone can convert to the supernatural world, pretty much all our stuff like phones, the internet, video game systems and anything you could imagine does correct to our world, cool right I say it's freaking awesome. Anyway, I sat up in bed and look at mom and said...

"Good morning mom, I already got Skye's birthday present which is a kitten at from the pet store, we just have to pick it up at the pet store soon," I told her while she was still checking her email while rubbing my eyes from the bright lights.

"Oh, okay thanks, I was going to leave after work to pick a kitten up after work. And did you pay for it yet?" she said and turn to face me while holding a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Yup I did, well... Skye picked the one that she wanted, which is so cute and fluffy. We checked out the pet store on our way home from the bookstore and cafe. We can't just give it her early, but the person at the pet store said the papers won't be done for before the seventeenth, which only one week away" I told her while putting my hair in a ponytail.

"Alright, well I can go pick it up if I can after work. So how did you get most of the money for the kitten and everything, it most of the cost alright of money?" my mother said while scrolling through her email.

"Oh, I worked a lot of hours and saved most of my summer job money at the local sports club downtown," I said while making my bed.

"Okay, well... I will leave you alone now, so I can go take a shower before work, later sweetie" my mother told me while she was logging out of her accounts.

My mom got up from my desk, which it had my laptop on top of it, she headed to me my laptop which was unplugged and then gave it to me. After she gave my laptop back, I went to check my SoicalConnect page and checked my school email, which I already got set up in the early this summer. My SoicalConnect page and I had a lot of messages that I must read and reply as soon as possible, it took me about fifteen minutes to read and reply to them. Most of the messages were from my favorite aunt and uncle saying hi and how I am doing. Next, I checked my school email, I had about two emails from school saying that I must go to school for orientation in a couple of days and the other message was about school information, uniforms, dorm rooms, supply list and many other things that I will need. Tomorrow I will have to go shopping for school and start to get my stuff to school together, also start packing some things that I will take with me. I started to make a list of things that I need and what things should I bring. I put on the list like clothes, uniforms which I should get in the mail sometime soon, laptop with my mouse and charger cord, pillows, blankets, some pictures from home and some stuffed animals. I wasn't sure if we can wear our clothes for after school, nights and weekends. I hope that we can because I don't want to be stuck in uniforms all the time and it would drive me crazy. Skye found me and told me that she was going to help me today with my list and checked the school's website for more information about the school suppers, rules, and of course about the uniform dress code.

My sister walked into my bedroom with her tablet, while still wearing her pajamas.

"Hey Ayla, I just found the school list information and about the uniform dress code," she said while looking at the website.

"Sweet, what does it say about the uniforms?" I asked her while checking my tablet.

"It says that you have to wear your uniform during school hours, you don't have to wear it during after-school nights and weekends, and on weekends just only for school events too," She said while reading the information of the website.

"Whoo-hoo! That's great because I don't want to wear my uniform twenty-seven that would make me go crazy or make me itch all day" I said while packing some of my clothes into a box.

"Oh, that reminds me you got a package this morning from the school," Skye said and gave me the box.

"Thanks, I wonder if this is my uniforms," I said while opening the package that was on my lap.

As I opened the box, I saw my uniforms, class schedule, and some school information that says about the school, sports and when we got off the breaks such as winter and spring break which I can't wait for because I will get to spend some time with my mom and sister. The first thing I saw was our skirts were different; the skirts are suspended to be black but somehow it was anti-black, the skirts match our ties, green and black stripes plaid. I wonder why there aren't black, there is a note saying why our skirts are a new way and the black ones were from the older days of the academy back in the old days when the school first open. I like the newer skirts instead of the old ones. The school changed a lot over the years like sports and clubs that they have now also I like it better because now the school has more technology than it used to. I went to the bathroom to try on one of my many, we get uniforms like about five pairs of everything and while Skye went to go start playing club-kitten. About five minutes later, I came back and asked my sister...

"So, what you do you think?" I asked as I turned around to show her a full look at my brand-new uniform while spinning around in a couple of circles.

"I really like it, I can't wait to get my mine in about twelve months or so if I am lucky," she said and went back to playing her Club-kitten.

"Are you ready for orientation tomorrow and check out the academy and the campus?" my sister said while trying not to fall off the bed by kicking her legs in the air below her.

"Yup, and to check out some cute boys too!" I just hope that they are some really hot ones too" I said, and then we burst of laughing.

"I can't wait either, and I can't believe that one more week until school starts," I told her. "I know, let's go make breakfast or lunch I am so starving," she said while getting off of my bed.

Skye and I went downstairs to go make lunch, but first I changed into some sweats and a hoodie which has my favorite band on it called "Night Dark Watchers". I swear the leader of the band is so damn cute and I would love so to meet him someday. I quickly put my hair back up into the messy ponytail then walked downstairs. When I got to the kitchen Skye took out some meat from the freezer to make some hamburgers. Mom was working late tonight, so it's girl's night just for us. After we made lunch, we made our self into the living room with our food and drinks. Skye turns the television to our favorite TV show called "Supernatural High". We ate while watching the show and talked during how cute the guys were and the girls being all that. We watched back-to-back episodes which lasted a couple of hours. Finally, it was about nine o'clock which meant it was bedtime for both of us and time flew by fast. She fell asleep on the couch, so I picked her up and carried her to my bedroom which she doesn't like sleeping alone due to nightmares. I tucked her in and kissed her goodnight and turn some music on, then slide into the other side of the bed and closed my eyes to fall asleep.

About a week later my mom came into my bedroom, woke me up just to tell me that she was going in early for work, and she wanted to check her email to see how many hours she will be working next week, she logged into her email off of my laptop.

"Hey Ayla, I just found the school list information and about the uniform dress code," she said while looking at the website.

"Sweet, what does it say about the uniforms?" I asked her while checking my tablet.

"It says that you have to wear your uniform during school hours, you don't have to wear it during after-school nights and weekends, and on weekends just only for school events too," She said while reading the information of the website.

"Whoo-hoo! That's great because I don't want to wear my uniform twenty-seven that would make me go crazy or make me itch all day" I said while packing some of my clothes into a box.

"Oh, that reminds me you got a package this morning from the school," Skye said and gave me the box.

"Thanks, I wonder if this is my uniforms," I said while opening the package that was on my lap.

As I opened the box, I saw my uniforms, class schedule, and some school information that says about the school, sports and when we got off the breaks such as winter and spring break which I can't wait for because I will get to spend some time with my mom and sister. The first thing I saw was our skirts were different; the skirts are suspended to be black but somehow it was anti-black, the skirts match our ties, green and black stripes plaid. I wonder why there aren't black, there is a note saying why our skirts are a new way and the black ones were from the older days of the academy back in the old days when the school first open. I like the newer skirts instead of the old ones. The school changed a lot over the years like sports and clubs that they have now also I like it better because now the school has more technology than it used to. I went to the bathroom to try on one of my many, we get uniforms like about five pairs of everything and while Skye went to go start playing club-kitten. About five minutes later, I came back and asked my sister...

"So, what you do you think?" I asked as I turned around to show her a full look at my brand-new uniform while spinning around in a couple of circles.

"I really like it, I can't wait to get my mine in about twelve months or so if I am lucky," she said and went back to playing her Club-kitten.

"Are you ready for orientation tomorrow and check out the academy and the campus?" my sister said while trying not to fall off the bed by kicking her legs in the air below her.

"Yup, and to check out some cute boys too!" I just hope that they are some really hot ones too" I said, and then we burst of laughing.

"I can't wait either, and I can't believe that one more week until school starts," I told her. "I know, let's go make breakfast or lunch I am so starving," she said while getting off of my bed.

Skye and I went downstairs to go make lunch, but first I changed into some sweats and a hoodie which has my favorite band on it called "Night Dark Watchers". I swear the leader of the band is so damn cute and I would love so to meet him someday. I quickly put my hair back up into the messy ponytail then walked downstairs. When I got to the kitchen Skye took out some meat from the freezer to make some hamburgers. Mom was working late tonight, so it's girl's night just for us. After we made lunch, we made our self into the living room with our food and drinks. Skye turns the television to our favorite TV show called "Supernatural High". We ate while watching the show and talked during how cute the guys were and the girls being all that. We watched back-to-back episodes which lasted a couple of hours. Finally, it was about nine o'clock which meant it was bedtime for both of us and time flew by fast. She fell asleep on the couch, so I picked her up and carried her to my bedroom which she doesn't like sleeping alone due to nightmares. I tucked her in and kissed her goodnight and turn some music on, then slide into the other side of the bed and closed my eyes to fall asleep.
