General

As I lay down on the grass the stars shone down on my face. " Do the stars know my name?" I asked my self stupidly ''Lily!'' Mum yelled. Well, my mum does know my name. I chuckled and went inside.

''what are you doing Lilly'' Mum said. "I already told you I am spending the night out,''

''she's talking to the stars again'' aunt Judy said with her crooked voice.

''she wonders Judy'' mom squealed.

I don't know why mom respects aunt Judy very much. All she does is lays down and has her snacks. ''Mandy where is the other pack of nachos you had'' said aunt Judy. ''well make sure you don't become a nacho your self'' I snatched, mom and aunt Judy stared at me. Mom terrified and Judy moody [some thing I like to call her] on the other hand was well moody. ''oh no'' I whispered I didn't want to be in any drama so I went to my room, I couldn't spend the night out but at least its better then hearing aunt Judy's lectures. I felt so sleepy that I instantly fell asleep.


The next day passed so quick I didn't even have time to notice miss Judy moody, of course she didn't notice me too, she kept on crying about what, well of course about her show her show was season finally. She kept wining about what she would do without her show. Then finally the day was almost to an end now. I can look back too the stars I went out my balcony and looked at the stars. this time Judy moody caught me. Well, I was expecting that. I just don't understand her problem with stars. I build up my courage, and asked her, first, she looked irritated then finally she relaxed her face. I realized, me and her didn't know much about each other.


She told me that she used to have a son called Johnny. At first, I was surprised then wonder why I never seen him, no one ever told me, until I learned the shocking truth.

Johnny used to looked at the stars just like I do. He grew up to be an astronaut. until he left this world. Aunt Judy always blamed the stars, until that day on she hated the stars, she then told me that even though there were no stars her son would have still been gone tears rolled down her face as she said this. I felt sad for aunt Judy I have finally understood her better. I looked back at the stars .The next day during breakfast, I went over to aunt Judy and gave her a hug at first she was she was surprised, cuz I haven't hugged her in months even years, we didn't have a close relationship before but now I think that should change, aunt Judy hugged me back I told her we should get more closer as a family, she agreed, months past, and me and aunt Judy were getting along, I was going to start high school tomorrow,


And I have to say I was pretty excited. the next day came so quick, I got out of bed I was thinking that I should look my best, I put on my outfit and got my backpack witch I prepared the other night and headed out, I kissed everyone goodbye witch includes my emotional mom. ''Oh my baby is growing'' mom cried ''She will be fine Mandy'' aunt Judy tried to comfort mom but ended out to be pointless ''Mom its embarrassing, well I better go the bus is waiting'' and so I ran out to the bus. I have to say it felt little harsh to run of like that, but its ok today is going to be the best day ever. once I arrived the principal showed me around ''Well this is your class at Kendell high'' Once I came in the class everyone stared, it wasn't that unusual I would always get stares, I took my seat by a girl called Palmer I could see her name tag on the desk. I sometimes felt like I was the smallest girl in the class, and I was very skinny, only 13 and very short. I looked around and my eyes settled on a girl named Hailey she had silky orange hair with aqua blue eyes and lips colored like cherry's. I could right away tell that she was the popular one. Math was over now we were on are way to science, I love science. Once I came in the class I saw Hailey again, she was in this class to! I always knew that the popular ones lead to nothing but trouble. And I noticed that she kept staring at me, until something interrupted

me it was palmer again ''That's HAISLEY THE SCHOOL LEADER AND CLASS PRINCIBLE she's soo popular'' ''I could tell I replied'' ''and I could also tell that your the loud one'' ''oppose sorry'' palmer said with a quit voice. The rest of the day went good except for one thing. After classes math, science, and English, it was lunch time, all the kids headed over too the cafeteria I went over to Palmer and her friends Jamey and Olivia, we were chatting and laughing until someone interrupted us it was Hailey! she stared over to me and said '' Don't try to think your smart LOSER'' I was guessing it was because I have answered each and every question right in each class Hailey stormed back to her table, but didn't quit sit down yet, she grabbed her entire lunch and threw it at my brand new uniform, ''FOOD FIGHT''


One kid yelled. And that's how I ended up here in the office along with Hailey , John [the boy who yelled food fight], me, and Palmer as a victim of course the principal believed me and Palmer that Hailey started it. Hailey was sent to detention and me and Palmer laughed as we walked passed the hall. School came to an end and I said bye to palmer. I decided that I needed some fresh air so I walked home. the day came to an end and aunt Judy decided that we should go out to watch the stars. so there we lay down on the grass watching the stars. THE END
