*beep* *beep* *beep* *bee-* You pressed the off-button on your alarm clock and slowly dragged yourself from your warm bed and got ready for your job interview for the new skating rink called “Roller Rave”. The interview would be at 3:30pm… and you usually stay in bed `til 4 watching TV on the weekends. It was 10am… and you had only had six hours of sleep… ugh. “Life sucks!” you said out loud to yourself. After taking a shower and getting clothed in a black skirt that went right above my knees and a white shirt with a black vest over it, you hurried downstairs to put on your shoes and fixed your hair. When you were done you drove off to Denny's to get some breakfast. You walked in and spotted your friend, Carla Sanchez. “Carla!” you called. She waved and you sat down across from her. “About time, Alex!” she says, a little cross. ~

Okay, before I get carried away, here's your statistics:

~ “I'm sorry, traffic was terrible.” you sighed. The waitress walks over to you “May I take your order?” After eating you left the restaurant and drove her to the library. “Why are you so psyched about going to the library?” you asked. “Well, I found something on the internet and I just had to find more info on it, so I thought `why not check the library?' so, here I am.” she answered, fumbling in her purse. “Ah-ha!” she exclaimed, pulling out a folded piece of paper. “So what exactly are you `researching' now?” you asked sarcastically. “Well, I looked up some information about that weird symbol on your shoulder and this website that said `The Dark Secrets of Kora… somethin' or other popped up with all of this stuff about some medieval crap. But I couldn't get anything much because you need a password, so I looked up the word Kora… somethin' or other on the library's website and a book called “Evils of the Medieval Realms” came up and I just had to check it out!” she said in one breath. You were kind-of thrown off, but you had heard enough to know that she would not be giving up too easily on this particular subject. “Well, I'll drop you off here and pick you up in an hour when I get done with the interview.” you said stopping in front of the library. “Ok, good luck!” she said getting out of the car. “You too!” you added, pulling away. You looked at your watch… 2:45pm… “I still got some time to stop at Starbucks for some coffee!” you smiled to yourself. You parked in the parking lot and went inside; the smell of fresh coffee enveloped you as you headed for the counter. “Oh, hey Alex, the usual?” asked Greg. “Yup!” you smiled. You took your order of a (beverage here) and a (your favorite kind) donut and waved good-bye to Greg. As you were driving to the rink, you passed a man in a black hooded cloak that revealed none of his features, but gave you a strange feeling that you knew him. You looked in the rear-view mirror, but he was gone. “Weird…” you thought.
