Mia's Adventure - part 1

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
I am so bad at posting lately.

You probably already knew that.

... Anyway, I've been writing a lot lately, and I decided to share this story with you guys. I started it last year, so I've already written quite a bit. Expect a lot of parts to this! :) Here's part one of Mia's Adventure.

   ***

There once was a girl named Mia. Mia was a normal ten year old girl who lived in New York City. She went to school, played with her friends, and then came back home again. She had a mother and father, but no brothers or sisters. She was grateful for this, for she loved being an only child. But there was something missing from her life. She longed for a touch of something new. Something different. And that is exactly what she got.

Mia woke up and smiled to herself. It was Saturday! And this was no regular Saturday. She was going to her friend Ashley’s birthday party. It was a kind of party where you stay the night. They had discussed it at school the day before.

Mia was very excited. She leapt out of bed and threw on her clothes in a flash, and brushed her teeth faster than she ever had before. However, it took her a while to brush her long, tangled, blond hair. When she finally finished, she braided it in a braid that went past her waist, and just to be fun, she tucked in a few flowers here and there.

She raced down the stairs and slid across the floor, squeaking to a stop just when she got to the counter with the stools at it. Panting, she sat down.

    “Whoah!” her mom said, setting a smoothie and a bowl of fruit in front of Mia. “Why are you so excited?”

    Mia nibbled on a strawberry and answered, “It’s Ashley’s birthday party today!”

    “Oh, yes. I forgot about that.”

    Mia sat in silence for a while, nibbling strawberries and blueberries. Then she asked, “What time am I going over to Ashley’s?”

    “Ten o’clock.”

    Mia looked at the clock. It was eight thirty. She gasped and leaped out of her chair. She started to run upstairs, but then her mom stopped her. “Where are you going?” she asked.

    “To grab my bag and Ashley’s present! It’s eight thirty already!”

    “But aren’t you going to finish your breakfast?”

    “Oh. Yes.” Mia followed her mom back to the kitchen and finished her fruit and sipped all of her smoothie. Then, she ran upstairs and grabbed her bag and Ashley’s present. By then it was nearly nine thirty.

    “Time flies fast when you’re having fun!” panted Mia.

    Her mom nodded and smiled. Mia flopped down onto the couch to relax, but soon her mom called, “Time to go to Ashley’s house!”

    Mia jumped up and followed her mom to the car. The drive felt very long, even though it was only twenty minutes.

    When they arrived, Mia kissed her mother goodbye and jumped out of the car. Soon she saw Ashley standing on the front porch, waving. Mia squealed with delight. She ran up to Ashley and hugged her. Then they squealed some more. They were so excited. Ashley smiled, and then she waved her hand at the window. Two tall, scrawny girls with short brown hair came out onto the porch. And then Mia stopped smiling.

Part 2 will be up soon. Before I end this post, I just want to let you all know that I'll be going to Mexico on the 16th of April. Don't fear, my friends, I won't abadon you again. :) I will post pictures while I'm there.

Bye!
