Hey guys! I'm just adding the very beginning of this story. Hope you like it.
~~~~~~~
It is late, about 3 AM when, all of a sudden, a phone rings somewhere in a dark house. The phone goes off a second time. Before it has a chance to ring again, it is picked up by the inhabitant of the bedroom on the second floor in the first window to the left.
Alishea Gryffin “Ali”: *grumbles* Hello?
There is a pause while the person on the other end speaks. Ali sits up straighter.
Ali: *More awake than before.* Oh, hi Aunt Arianna. Oh no, you didn’t wake me up. Oh yeah, I’m wide awake.
This Aunt Arianna says something and waits for Ali to speak.
Ali: Oh, yeah, sure, she can come and stay with me. I don’t mind it one bit. Do you want me to come and get her or…Oh okay. I’ll see her Thursday, then. Bye Aunt Arianna.
A pause.
Ali: I love you, too. Bye. *click*
Ali puts the phone back on the receiver and lies back down in bed. Trying to fall back asleep, she starts to count sheep, but they turn into shamrocks, and she woke right back up. Sighing, she tried again, but to no avail. She turned her head to look at her alarm clock that said 4:25 AM. Looking back up at the ceiling, she decided she might as well go for a run since she was getting nowhere with the sleep. Pulling the covers away, she turns on her light and begins looking for some running wear.
Downstairs, however, Ali’s housemate, Bellatrix Trusttum-Bloom “Bella” was already awake and eating breakfast. She had heard the phone ringing upstairs and it woke her up. Deciding that she would never get back to sleep and that the morning would be too beautiful to waste, she got changed into her bikini and got some cereal from the cupboard for breakfast. Putting her bowl in the sink when she was done, Bella went to go brush her hair and teeth. She soon headed out the door to her electric green VW Bug and got in. Her surfboard tied to the top of her car, she then headed west, towards the beach she loves so much.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Ali had finished getting changed and was wearing an old pair of sweatpants and old camisole. Deciding to eat breakfast after her run, Ali laced up her shoes and stretched to loosen up her muscles. Then, she was off.

Sorry if it is short, but I just want to know what you guys think before I go ahead. Thanks for reading!
