The Girls

Chapter One

 The Fam

 Me, a 12 almost 13 year old girl named Cat waited at my window, I was expecting someone. I had blue eyes, peach skin, and redish hair. After 20 minutes I went to my bedroom. Then I heard a knock on a the door. I ran as fast as my legs and feet could go. I opened the door and squealed.

“Addy! Oh how I’ve missed you!” I said excitedly.

Addy hugged me tightly. Addy was a 13 year old girl who was my BFF. Addy had blue eyes, tan skin, black hair, and pink and purple nails.

“I love your nails.” I said examining Addy’s nails. Suddenly there was another knock on the door. Addy opened it. A 13 year old girl with blue eyes, peach skin, and blonde hair stood there.

“Zoey!” Addy said happily.

“Hi!” Zoey said. “I saw all my BFFs so I thought I’d come over. How was your trip Addy?”

“Amazing! You can’t believe how much ice cream you can get on vacation at Mexico!” Addy said. “But let’s talk about what my besties did!”

“Nothing!” Me and Zoey groaned. “Jinks! You owe my a dollar! Two dollars! Three!”

“Hey!” Addy yelled. “Is your dad home?”

“Nah.” I replied. “Let’s go to scoops. Beth can drive us.” Beth was my older sister, Beth was 17 years old, she had just finished her junior year of high school, she had blue eyes, peach skin, and redish blonde hair. Everyone in my family looked kind of the same.

“Ok!” I said excitedly. “Let’s go to scoops, then shopping at Mall Market?”

“Yes!!” Zoey and Addy screamed. I went to look for Beth, but I couldn’t find her. 

“She must be at Mike’s.” I said. Mike was Beth’s friend. “Well want to hang out? At my house?”

“Sure, but can we hang out with Theo too? I think he won’t mind.” Addy said. She had a HUGE crush on Theo, which made things awkward when Addy, Zoey, or me brought him up. I also knew Theo didn’t like Addy, he likes Michelle. A 15 year old girl who is into him. So it’s also awkward for me, Zoey, and Theo when Addy is hanging out with Theo. And Theo didn’t like Addy at all.

“I don’t think he is home.” I said so it wouldn’t be awkward. We were about to walk to my room when the front door slammed open.
