Hey this is a new book that my friend's been helping me with a little. I hope you enjoy my book please comment. I don't mind constructive criticism, but please don't get rude if you don't like the book. If you don't like it, don't read it, simples. Obviously the first chapter is never the best but just give it a try. One more thing, i happen to be British writing a story set in America so give me a heads up if i write something that's not american-y.
Oh and if you copy this book in any way, I will hunt you down. So don't cat me, OK?
Please enjoy :D

"¿Qué hora es Cassandra?" My ma yelled from downstairs. I don't see why she always has to yell, the floorboards are so thin that I could hear a pin drop from up here. Any louder and I think the ground would start to shake.
Okay, that was a slight overreaction, but the women had the lungs of an opera singing.
"Mama you know I can't understand you "I replied as I bushed my soft honey brown curly hair whilst looking at my new olive bronze completion brought on by a trip we had just come back from only days before. The trip to Spain might have brought out a nice golden shade on me but it didn't help me with understanding anymore Spanish than I already knew which was hola.............and adiós
All I really need to know right?
"You better learn at some point Cassandra, you're Latino, you must learn your own language" mama said in her slight Mexican accent whilst entering my room.
I was startled as I didn't even hear her coming up the stairs, if her catering business didn't work out then she could easily take on the job as a spy. Then I came to the realization that she'd entered my room without permission
"Why don't you knock?!" I exclaimed huffing in annoyance at the invasion or my privacy
"Don't give me that attitude or ill whoop your ass back to Mexico" my mom warned "anyway you're going off topic the fact is you need to learn Spanish for your own good, maybe I should send you to your papa's for a while..."
I widened my eyes in shock. "No mama" I exclaimed "I'll learn it I promise it just might take a while"
It's not that I don't love my papa but he's not exactly 'Father of the year'.
The explanation for that is for another day
Mama chuckled "I'm joking Cassie, I'd never do that, no matter how annoying you get" she replied whilst making her way over to me and taking a seat my bed
"Annoying? What? I'm not annoying!" I said with the utmost certainty. "Anyway I've gotta go, first day in a new school and I don't wanna be tardy!"
I stood up from my bed and looked through my full length closet mirror at my whole outfit.
Light blue jeggings, white tank top, timberlands and black leather jacket. I knew I probably didn't need a jacket in the Californian heat but i liked to bring one just in case it started to rain. You know condensation and all that water-cycle stuff, yeah i listen in my geography lessons.
Then, after shuffling past mama I hurried downstairs, grabbed my bag and a frosties bar before heading for the door
"Buena suerte sweetie" mama said from upstairs
"Okay" I squeezed in before the door slammed shut
I'm guessing that meant good luck but hey, what do I know? She could of said 'I hope you get hit by car', she obviously didn't....I hope, but if she did I wouldn't know
