Lone Oak Academy - part 1

Hello! I am finally starting my first photostory series, Lone Oak Academy! I announced it back in...let's see...FEBRUARY?? Man, I am bad with timing. Well, without further ado, here's part one of Lone Oak Academy!

***

Beep! Beep! Beep!
 My alarm clock struck five. It was time.

I leaned over and turned off the alarm before it could wake up my awful stepmother, Veronika.

Since I had already gotten dressed in my clothes for today the night before, all I had to do was tug on my too small sweatshirt (Veronika refused to buy me a new one) and stuffed my feet in my boots.

Then, I grabbed my backpack full of food and supplies, and slipped out the door, quiet as a mouse.

Once I had escaped the house, I began running. Thoughts spun through my head and my heart pounded to match my footsteps. I had been planning my runaway ever since my father had died two years ago and left me with Veronika, who had no interest in taking care of me.

Suddenly, I heard something. My head snapped in the direction of the noise. It was coming from the house.

The door opened and Veronika stepped out, still in her pajamas.

"Fay Cerise Adrian!" Veronika yelled. "What in the world are you doing? Get back in the house right now, young lady! We will discuss this once it is a reasonable hour."

Sighing, I obediently followed Veronika back into the house. I would have to try again next week.

Hope you enjoyed! Stay tuned for part 2!
