Chapter One

The slim black dress was staring at me. Its beautiful glittering sequins were perfectly sewn on. I could just imagine myself wearing it, but no. Then the beautiful image with me in the most perfect dress in the world just dissolved. I was mad! I was a tomboy.
Even so, I longed to wear a beautiful long, slim dress, just like the one in front of me. I stared at it longingly thinking about it, then something just flashed, and I realised that I would never wear anything like that, as I was a totally different character to whom the dress was waiting for. What was wrong with me? It was as if one part of my brain was against the other!
'Hey Sam'
Those sequins just seemed so perfect and the dress, seemed as if it were made just for me, but made to be worn in a totally different world.
'Sam, are you Ok?'
'Huh?', I answered like a total idiot.
'Sam to this world, why are you staring at a dress?'
Oh, it was only Georgia.
'I, er, dunno, I was thinking about something totally different though, you know. Sometimes you just stop, and think, but in the totally wrong place, so it seems kind of weird, but honestly, if I knew I would stop straight away.'
Why did I just say that?
She knows something weird is going on with me anyway. Best friends can always tell, especially when their friend is a bad liar, like me.
'Whatever, have you done buying your brothers birthday present?'
'Er, yeah', I said shaking the bag with the CD's.
It was my brothers birthday in two days, and as usual I got him the latest album or albums in this case, of his favourite singer, which I, won't name, as it's rather embarrassing.
'Let's go then', Georgia said impatiently.
We started to walk past the crowds of people. I really hated crowded places. It's supposed to seem secure, but it's just horrible. Having loads of people stuck in front, behind and to the side of you, does not seem like nice and secure to me. Though what I hated most, were the shops. I tried to avoid them as much as I could, but sometimes it was just impossible.
We walked on, and then someone actually taller than me, walked into me. I didn't bother looking at the person, because it always happens and it is never my fault, but I am always made to apologise. But the person who walked into me actually apologised to me, and so I looked at him very shocked.
'I really didn't mean to, sorry' he said in a deeply low voice.
He must of realised my face expression.
'I don't know if you know Sam, but there are coffee stains on your shirt' Georgia whispered.
Oh, that's why he apologised, gosh I must have looked so dumb!
-Pg1-
'If you want', he said apologetically, 'well, I could pay for a new shirt.'
Gees, it was only a shirt'
'Well', I said like a saddo, 'No it's OK, I mean, it was only a mistake, so it doesn't matter, it isn't like some super shirt I love, so, forgiven.'
Weirdo I thought to myself about myself.
'No' he said taking out a wallet from his trousers, 'here', he said passing me a tener, 'if there's any change keep it'.
'Gees, well, er thanks'
He looked at his watch, 'sorry, I need to go, I'm kinda late.'
Then he just dissolved. OK maybe not dissolved but, disappeared as I stared at the tenner in my hand like it was an unidentified object.
Then Georgia said impatiently, 'go and buy yourself a shirt, I'll wait for you here, but be quick!'
I went and thought, that I probably wouldn't meet that person ever again, and why did I want to? 'Cause he was the only man I met who was actually taller than me!

* * *
I opened the door, only to find, no one home! Well except from my two kittens Kimiko and Kampus.
Weird, no one told me about going anywhere. Ah well, the emptier, the better!
I went straight up to my room and slumped the bag with the CD's down onto my bed.
I lay down, and my thoughts trotted off'
That dress, it was so perfect, why did I have to chose to be a tomboy?
No, be proud to be a tomboy, be proud! Oh who am I kidding, I'd love to wear pretty prom dresses and mini skirts, the only reason I didn't was because''beep beep, beep beep'
Great, a text, probably from mum or someone saying where they were.
Yep, unfortunately I was right,

SAMANTHA DARLING, WE ARE AT GRACES,
YOU WEREN'T HOME, SO WE DIDN'T
WANT BOTHER YOU.
THERE'S A PIZZA IN THE FRIDGE YOU
CAN HEAT. WE'LL BE BACK AT AROUND 8PM.
LOVE YOU, MUM.

Pizza, great! NOT. If it's with pepperoni I won't eat it, I mean so much fat!
I slumped back down onto my bed, with my trainers still on.
So where was I?
I looked around my room to remind myself, then I noticed the pile of open books on my desk, about ten or so, great, I realised I still needed to complete my homework.
Nah, I'll do it tomorrow I told myself.
