I Can't Think Of A Title!, chapter 1
Well I should introduce myself. My name is Adelle Smith but most people call me Ellie. I have grown up in England, i'm 15 years old, I have brown hair with pink streaks and I have chestnut coloures eyes. I'm not exactly skinny but it never really bothered me much. I have one best friend called Louise (Lou for short) and we always stick together. My family isnt perfect, and I have a step mother who I really dislike. I am forced to live with her and my Dad and cant wait to move out. I guess you could label me a punk kid even though I dont really like being labelled. I think i've told you everything that you really need to know about me for now.
*Monday*
I woke to the sound of my alarm clock ringing in my ears. I hated that thing so much! I gathered enough energy to get up and made my way to the bathroom. It was Monday so I had school and would be meeting Lou soon so that we could walk to school together. It's lucky that I had her, she was a great friend and helped me through all of my problems. We would always be there for each other when when either of us was feeling down. I stepped into the shower and quicky washed my unruly hair, my hair is really big and if I dont straighten it theres trouble! Looking at my watch I realised I had spent too long in the bathroom and now had approximately 20 minutes to get dressed, eat my breakfast and get to school. Condidoring the walk to school was 20 minutes in itself it looked like I was yet again going to be late.
I quickly straightened my hair, it looked slightly better but because I had rushed there were still kinks here and there. Oh well, I really couldnt be bothered to spend any more time than necessary on my hair, I was only going to school after all. I quicky pulled on my school uniform. I was half way downstairs when I remembered that I had forgotten my wristbands, No way could I go without them so I quickly ran back upstairs and put them on. Now I had 10 mintues to get to school so I grabbed my bag and a cereal bar to eat on the way, with this I slammed the door shut. If your wondering where my so called parents were I didnt know myself. They had probably gone out the night before and not made it home yet. It wouldnt bother them what happened to me, and im not exaggerating.
I reached the tree that I always met Lou at and she wasnt there, I dialled her number on my mobile and it turns out that she was getting a lift to school. She said that she'd get her Dad to pick me up aswell. Thanks to the car ride we wernt all that late.
"What have you got first period?" Lou asked me
"Ummm, I have double Maths first and second, you?" I replied unenthusiastically.
It turned out that we both had the same lessons so we walked off to class together.
"Ellie, are you excited about tomorrow then?" Lou was grinning at me like a mad person.
"It's only my birthday, and why are you so happy? You havent got me something embarassing have you?" I asked wearily.
"Nope, I'm sure you'll love it!" Lou seemed genuine but I couldnt be sure.
The rest of the day passed smoothly with not too much excitement. I was slightly nervous about my birthday, I was going to be 16. It wasnt the age that worried me, it was Lou's suprise. I'd known her long enough to know when something suspicious was going on. There wasnt much point in worrying, what would happen would happen so I decided to go home and look forward to finding out what the suprise is!
I got home and unlocked the front door to find that nobody was home. This didnt shock me, it was a regular occurance. I found a note on the kitchen table. It looked like it had been scruffily written and whoever wrote it was in a hurry.
Adelle,
Me and Christina are going on holiday to Spain for a few weeks. Our flight is at 4 o'clock so we have to leave before you get home from school. We will phone you sometime while we are away. Not sure when we will be back.

Typical, I thought to myself. Most daughters would be spending their 16th birthday with their parents, but then again my father was different, he cared more for his size 6, blonde, model who he had married just 2 months after meeting. I dont know what he see's in her, I'm telling you she's brainwashed him. She's after his money, he is a 45 yr old successful business man, she is a 25 yr old Playboy model. I dont think theres any real love in their relationship, not on her part anyway. My real mother moved to America when I was a baby. I get birthday and Christmas presents off her and see her once a year.
Most people would think I'd hate her for leaving but I understand why she left my arsehole of a father. I am hoping to go and live with her when I leave school. I can have a new start and a new chance in life. I stopped dwelling on my unhappiness and went upstairs to get changed. I had pizza for tea and went to bed early. There was nothing to stay up for. I spent that night wondering what Lou had got me, it had to be something that I wouldnt expect after she kept grinning all day!
