'Tis a novel I happen to be writing about a thirteen year old girl. I am going to post it, but I warn you, I have twenty five pages so far, and I will not post the whole thing. I'm going to post it in sections, and only some at a time. :3 I would, although, love to know what you think about it. PM your opinions to me. <3

"Are you there, Mom?" A shout from outside emerged. "Yeah, I'm here!" An answer rang out, a middle-aged woman unlocked and opened the door as it did.
"What do you want this time?" She asked, looking at the thirteen year old girl. "I thought you were with your dad this weekend."
The thirteen year old looked hurt. "I thought so, too. But his girlfriend, May, took her five year old twins to the park and Dad went with them." She said with her backpack slung over her shoulder untidily.
She was not short or timid for her age. She was well-built, lightly tanned, and had long dark blonde locks of hair falling down to her shoulders.
"So I'm here until Dad gets back. Where's Mickey?" She asked it with excitement, looking around her mother to watch for the dog, waiting for Mickey to run toward her.
Her mom gulped. "Well, Cassidy... I sort of gave Mickey away..." Cassidy's eyes widened, as if to ask, 'What did you say?' However, nothing came out of her mouth when it opened.
That was a month ago. Cassidy was now in full custody of her father, due to her mom's death. There was thick fog that terrible night. The other car didn’t have their lights on, and in moments she was gone.
