Chapter 1~ Part 3
She grabbed her keys, locked the door and prepared to shut it. “Bye Mia, Bye Flaire, I’ll be back later. Be good!” she screamed and shut the door. Her cat, Mia stood at the top of the stairs and mewled, while a large blonde dog barked at the living room window door. The dog was Flaire and was obviously quite curious about where Ionia was going. She barked a little more and ran out of view. Ionia ran past the door to a nearby ‘nook’ beside the door way. Her bike was there, leaning up against her house, it’s bright neon blue paint shone in the light and the chrome handle bars were almost unbearable to look at. Although it was already five years old it looked fairly new. She grabbed the handle bars and moved the bike towards the street, right outside the entrance of her fenced in yard. She hopped on the bike and crawled to the entrance; Ionia moved a little way out of the entry and looked down the roads.
Ionia glanced down the road quickly and hopped on her bike, she sped out of the entrance and raced down the street, passing two blocks and then making a sharp right. She raced down this street, which was lined with plum blossom trees, orange blossom trees, and cherry blossom trees line the road. Ionia smiled and looked in amazement only for a second before continuing her concentrated and timed riding. She raced and turned right, then left, then right again. Her eyes lit up and she let out a victory yelp, her school was right in front of her. Ionia sped up and leaned forward, hoping that she arrive dramatically and ‘cool’; her plans were spoiled. As her front tire passed the entrance gate a young girl stepped out in front of her.
“AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” she screamed and swerved off, avoiding the girl.
Ionia swerved away from hitting the girl but was headed straight for some bushes. She braced herself as her bike was snagged on the bushes and she flipped over the handlebars. Ionia made an ‘umph’ sound as she hit the ground and murmurs circulated in the vicinity. The young girl who had walked out in front of Ionia laughed a maniacal laugh and looked towards the bushes.
