Pedals of the Lily by Daisy Shum (rooftoppers .TXT) 📖

Chapter 1 Lily’s return
Sitting in World History class bored as always. As the clock ticks around the clock Tara is getting sleeper and bored than ever. She doesn’t even know what the teacher is talking about she guess there learning about France or something because the teacher are showing the class a picture of Eifel Tower. “Hi. I’m Tara Roberts. I am 15 years old. I go to Abbeville High school. I am a naturally blond with green eyes.” You might think I have a horrible life don’t you? Well I do it all started 4 years ago. This is how it all started in my 6th hour class.
“Just don’t look or care about the bitches.” Tara told herself. Looking down at myself an old pair of converse, an short shorts that used to be long, and a YMC tee. Coming from a poor family is hard to live into. Here comes the bitches leaving the class early to change for their stupid cheerleading practices. Here they come by. Whispering and gossiping as usual.
“OMG Kate you see what Tara is wearing?” Alison said the bitch of the bitches. “It’s soo last never year its soo ugly. Like where she get her clothes at? The Garbage Mart!” Laughing loudly Katie said. “OMG. You know she has a little sister before. I wonder what happen.” Susie said also another gossip bitch. Katie, Alison, and Susie is the bitchy group. Alison is the lead of the group.
Do you want to know how they look you asked? Well Alison is a light blond hair, with blue eyes, and a heart shaped face. Katie is a brown curly hair with brown eyes and a heart shape face. Susie is a black hair Asian girl. You get how they look right. That picture in your mind with bitch style. Like those girls in private school girls. Like “Ow I just broke my nails!” like those people.
“I swore they think they all that man. They just walking by people talking about them.” Tara complaining in her head. “TEN, NINE,EIGHT,…………..FOUR, THREE,TWO.” Tara counting with the clock making it seems like the school day would just be over. “ONE!!”
RRRIIINNNNGGGG!!! School is finally over for the day. Running out of the classroom thinking where do she could go or where to fit in. Walking 10 miles from school to the farm which Tara have to call “home”.

Walking through the white wooden doors into the waxed floor living room. As always looking at my sister picture holding tears in. Lily is my little sister. She died 4 years ago. She was soo young only 10 years old. Lily is an natural blond like me too. But she just has blue eyes instead of green.
n Let me tell you how she died. She died mysteriously. She went missing on her birthday. It was a Sunday. We had an birthday party for her in the farm area. She was way popular than me. Like anyway. Even though we share clothes she was way popular. No kids made fun of her. Like I was saying, Lily was at the party of course.
When the homemade cake came out to make wishes Lily was nowhere to be found. We got worried. But something told me don’t call for the cops. We told all her friends to go home after the cake that Lily just had an visitor from the family on the webcam.
We search the whole night after the party was over. When we got home there was a package sitting on the front wooden door steps. Tara took the package inside. The package weighted like 60 pounds.
The package said HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY! We opened the package. OMG Tara almost died looking inside. It contained Lily’s chopped up body parts. There was a note taped to her dead head. SHE HAD TO GO! SHE DID TOO MUCH SHE SHOULD’VE NOT DONE. DON’T CALL THE COPS OR YOUR NEXT. P.S. I AM WATCHING YOU. IF YOU DO ANYTHING YOU WILL BE NEXT.
“Tara, Honey can you help me pluck some eggplants?” Snapping back to the real world. “Okay! Ugh!” Tara replied tiredly. That was Tara’s mom. Her name was Isabella. She has blond hair and green eyes just like Tara. Grabbing the shovel Tara walking towards where the eggplants where.


Suddenly……. Tara heard a loud breathing! “Tara! Tara! TARA!” the voice is just soo familiar. That Tara haven’t heard that in years. “Lily? OMG Lily is that you?” turned around slowly making this moment a dream come true that the dead girl from 4 years wasn’t her. It was Lily. OMG Tara raced to her. Tara opened her arms running faster than she ever could. BOOM! BANG!AHH! “OW” Tara screamed striking the oak tree. “Why did I just totally walked through her??” thinking to herself.
Lily looked pale. She turned around. “Tara watch out she is going to come for you. Please Tara watch out for her I don’t want you to be like what happen to me. Believe me. You are the only one that can see me. I am a ghost. I only came back here to save you and momma and papa.”
“Who is this…..” without finishing the sentence Lily vanished again. Where did she go. A ghost??
Chapter 2 The big wait
That following evening Tara was in her little shabby room thinking who she is. What had Lily done to deserve this crap. Suddenly, the little hair on her neck stand up. Like someone was watching her. It was an uneasy feeling. Tara looked out the window. Hearing foot steps running away. OMG! Watch out for her Lily said. Who ever killed Lily was watching her movements. Feeling ill at ease Tara closed all her windows and shades.
KNOCK!KNOCK! “Hey honey its time for dinner.” Tara’s dad said. Tara’s dad name was Mike. He has brown shaggy hair his eyes is blue. Which never matched his eyes.
“Okay dad I’m coming just a sec.” Tara replied. Walking back downstairs where she feel more safe and comfortable. Dinner time was always quite without Lily here. Tara kept looking around making sure whoever was stalking her isn’t around. “Tara, honey isn’t your best friend Rebecca coming back tomorrow to school?” Isabella said breaking through her lookout.
“Uh? Oh yeah she is. I’m done with my dinner. Ima go check if I got a email from Rebecca. Okay?” Tara questioned.
“Oh okay, goodnight honey, Don’t stay up too late okay.” Isabella said.


Walking back upstairs to check if Tara got an email from her bestie that was coming back tomorrow from Orlando. Her name is Rebecca. She is a red headed girl. She has black eyes. She is also Tara’s only friend in 10th grade.
BING!BING! Tara received an message. It wasn’t Rebecca it was from an unknown sender. Her mouse was trembling when she opened it. It said: TARA, I KNOW YOU SAW ME! YOU BETTER NOT TELL ANYONE OR ELSE. DO AS I SAY OR ELSE. Tara stared at the computer for 10 minutes thinking how did he get my email.
Tara didn’t know how she slept yesterday but when she woke up it was morning and she was on the computer chair drooling. The sun was shining through the window’s shade. Brushing my teeth. Wondering what should she wear today? Looking through her closet. Well there wasn’t much to choose from. Tara choose a green t-shirt and a short jeans.
Tara running to the her school bus stop to wait for Rebecca. Waiting by herself suddenly hearing a footsteps running. OMG Tara whole body just froze. “RUN MOVE PLEASE MOVE FEET!” Tara screamed at herself. But she just froze there. A body of forced wrapped their arms around her. Tara saw red hair flying through the winds. She turned around feeling relief. It was only Rebecca. Tara gave Rebecca the biggest hug ever. After 2 month of getting picked on and nobody to talk to, those times were over!
“HEY! So how’s the search thing for your sister?” Rebecca asked as Tara and her walking to the bus stop.
“Oh we didn’t know who did it yet but did you had fun at Orlando?” Tara said trying to change the subject. EEEKKK!! The yellow banana bus reached Tara and Rebecca. The doors open.
“Oh it was fun. Hey I got you a gift.” Rebecca said as she and Tara

walking up the old greasy stairs of the bus.
Everyone one stared at Tara but she really could careless. Tara always tell herself they need a life. Rebecca and Tara sat at their usual spot in the bus. Then Rebecca pulled out two necklace. One said best on the necklace and the other the said friend. Rebecca handed Tara the Best part and Rebecca got the Friend part. EEEKKK!! The bus stopped to the end at Abbeville High. They reached the school bus loop.
Hum, Tara and Rebecca looking at the bitchy group over there. Like always pointing at people and laughing. Tara and Rebecca exchanged glances thinking “Get a life”. Tara hope one day they just get prank with pudding all over them. Man everyone would love to see that
“Rebecca wouldn’t you love to get back at them?” Tara asked Rebecca. “I have a plan!” Rebecca whispering in my ear. OMG Tara and Rebecca cannot wait to see what happen.
That Friday, in my book bag was a carton of chocolate pudding, a string, and a pulley. OMG this is going to be the best prank Tara ever did. That is really sad thinking to herself. Rebecca and Tara skipped 6th hour. They snuck into the locker rooms. They searched for Alison, Susie, and Katie locker. “FOUND IT!” Tara shouted. “Oh of course the one that is pink, that says Alison, Katie, and Susie in glitter. How surprising.” Tara sarcasm said looking at Rebecca. It took us 30 minutes to set up the trap. When Alison, Katie, and Susie is going to open the locker to put their stupid glamour stuff in the locker the chocolate pudding is going to splash everywhere in their face.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Tara hear gossiping. Tara bet they coming. Rebecca and Tara are hiding behind the lower locker peaking every movement and having Tara‘s phone out for recording the prank. “OMG did you hear (click the lock opened)(the traps are moving) what happen..” Alison saw the pudding coming and just stopped talking. “AHHHHHHH! WTF! WHO DID THIS!” they all three screamed. “I JUST BROUGHT THIS OUTFIT. UGHH!” Katie yelled furiously looking down at her outfit. Rebecca and Tara snickered laughing out the locker room.
“Whoa! That was awesome Rebecca!” Tara screamed in the hallway giving Rebecca a high five. That was the best day ever since Tara received the package.
“Hey, Tara. I can’t go take the bus with you today. Mrs. Nelson wanted to see me since she knows I’m back.” Rebecca said.
“Its fine are you going to come over tomorrow?” Tara questioned. “Yeah of course girl see you tomorrow.” Rebecca said. Tomorrow was Saturday.
Tara walking home alone wondering if she was watching her at this moment.
