Part 1 of Chapter 1

I'm writing a story, here is Part 1 of the first chapter!

'Life. It's good, it's bad. It's happy, it's sad. That's life, and I'm alive. I have to deal with it. I must wake up every morning, live through the day, and go back to sleep. Same thing everyday. Since it's everyday, this is one of them. I open my eyes and roll over. Boom! I sit up quickly and find myself on the ground. I push myself of the ground and stand. I hear the pounding of running footsteps dashing to my room.

"Raina!" My mom opens the doors swiftly, a worried look clear on her face. It's not the first time I've fallen of the side of my bed. It's somewhat of a tradition for me. My mom, on the other hand, looks as if I've fallen off the side of a cliff.

"I'm fine, mom!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm alright!"

She looks at me one last time and goes back outside, closing the door behind her.'
