Ad Is The Only Way UP, chapter 1
Okay Im Ads (Adara). I'm 13 and bloody obsessed with Green Day.
"Ads get your fucking arse down here. Now!"
"Alright Mum I'm coming," I shouted back. "Keep your bloody socks on."
"Language Adara Smith," scolded my mum.
Shes not that bad. She swears a lot then tells us off if we do it. She's not strict or anything like that, well not since Dad died in the fire back in England. Thats why we all live in CA now with Danni, Alice and Steve. Danni was my best friend for years and years until his dad got offered a job in Berkeley. They packed up thier stuff and left that was it gone! No one even asked me how I felt. Danni was the first boy I kissed and the first person that told me he loved me. Since he moved to CA he has changed though. He hangs round with a big group of poser punks they think he's cool because of his accent. They all hate me just like the rest of the poser punks.
"What do you want mum? Its only 9:30."
"We are going shopping to get you some new clothes. Most of your's were ruined in the fire," she relied, her eyes welling up with tears. I could tell why she was crying. Griffon and I still can't bring ourselves to tell her we don't miss him (Griffon is my brother). We dont miss our dad because he was abusing us. We can't tell her it was us who started the fire in the first place. She would never forgive us.
"What sort of shops do they have here?" I asked
"Dont worry im sure i can get you some new band tees and a new pair of Converse. We can ice-cream too if you want. Alice told me about a great ice-cream and coffee place in the local shopping mall."
"Yay ice-cream! New Converse, really? Am I allowed to draw on them please?" I squealed excitedly. Mum never offers to buy me new shoes.
"Yes I suppose so," said my mum thoughtfully. "You would even if I had said no wouldn't you?"
"Yup," I said, grinning.
