Murder

Well, I bet that title got your attention! If it didn't.. you must be a disturbingly weird person.
Anyway, I know I haven't been posting for a very long time. And I'm sorry! I could make more excuses, say I was really busy, but truth is; I just didn't feel like posting.
Enough of that, moving on.. This post isn't really like my last ones, it's pretty much all about the book I'm writing (or at least one of them, I'm writing three at the moment). It's called: *drum roll* "DETENTION TENSION", it's a murder-mystery (hence the title of this blog-post) and part of the characters in it are inspired on people I know. It'll be a lot of fun to read and I will give you updates on it, but for now I thought I'd give you guys a short preview.. So this is the first page (all I have so far, and I may change some things) and I hope you like it! -tips can be left in the comments-


DETENTION TENSION

“Beautiful girls, all over the world, I could be chasing, but my time would be wasted…” *Click*

“Ugh, I really need to change that tune, it’s getting old.” It was eight in the morning and my alarm-clock (unfortunately) woke me from a peaceful sleep.

I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling for five more minutes and decided it was time to get up and ready for school.

First I threw open the curtains and opened the window. It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect for just a top and a light jacket.

 I’d just opened my closet when I heard the *Ding* of my cell phone, Alice. “Wear the tie-die top, k?” We’d tie-died that weekend and promised to wear the tops we’d made on the same day, today apparently.

“Lynn, you up?!” Ouch, too loud for this time of day.

“No Liam, I’m shouting in my sleep!” Maybe just a little mean, but he deserved it.

“Okay, good. I’m out, you got everything covered?” Finally he lowered his voice, I was getting a headache from his shouting.

“Yeah, I’m good. Have fun at school today!” I made my voice sound a little maternal and Liam definitely didn’t like that.

“You’re not my mom.” I went downstairs to face him.

“No, and you’re not my dad.” I saw a flash of regret in his eyes and I immediately started to apologize for that remark, but Liam cut me off.

 “Have fun at school too… Bye.” He turned and went out the door.

“Bye.” I managed to get out just before Liam closed the door behind him.

Liam was my brother and I loved him, but ever since the accident, we just couldn’t get along as well as we used to. Maybe that was because I reminded him of mom, just like he reminded me of dad. As you may have guessed by now; my parents died a few years ago and I was living with my brother. As crazy as that may seem, it was totally legal seeing Liam had been eighteen –and by that, an adult- when it happened. Well that, and I didn’t want to go into foster-care and live with strangers. And something told me that, even though it was hard, Liam didn’t want me to leave either. Anyway, we may not get along all that well, but we were family, so we had to look out for each other. I knew that was Liam always tried to do, but sometimes I hated him for it. And by “it” I mean acting like my father.

Enough with the heavy stuff and back to breakfast. I was running late and I didn’t really feel like making bread, so I grabbed a banana, my bag and my leather jacket and left the house.

I’d promised to pick up Alice on my way to school, that meant I needed to leave a few minutes early and I had to find my extra helmet. The last of which was hell on heels, but I simply had to wear my black, laced heels. Oh, I forgot to tell you; I rode a motorcycle to school. You’d think, between the leather jacket I had on, the rock-band I was in (don’t worry that’ll come later), the motorcycle I rode and the heels with laces I wore, that I’d be a total bad-ass biker chick. Well, I wasn’t, I actually was really shy and quiet, just not with how I looked. That was just the only way, I wasn’t too scared of, to show who I was. Anyway, I digress again, apparently I’m pretty good at that.

So, I found the helmet, after spending too much time trying to find it, and I was on my way to Alice’s.

So.. That was it, did you like it? I know it's a bit chaotic, but it's supposed to be & later on in the book it'll all calm down (with the way of writing, not with the things happening in the book)

Bye!!

p.s. I'm also busy writing my own song, if it's done (and I like it enough) I'll post that too. Until then, fingers crossed it'll be good!
