L ily Sharp woke up dizzy from exhaustion at working all night in the garden. She knew her mother would not have approved at working all night. But the garden looked so much BETTER now. Besides she could go to bed early tonight and sleep in late tomorrow.
Lily Loved plants. She loved how they could grow from a tiny seed into a budding flower. And she loved that she was named after her favorite flower. But most of all, Lily loved the way the plants circled around her feet as if she were a trellis to grow on. It was strange in a way. The plants felt like they had hands that were groping around her ankles and then up her shins. It was like they had a personality! Completely insane she knew but that was the way she felt about it. She had stood in the middle of her garden till dawn and then gone back to bed. It was now 10:05 in the morning.
She looked out her window onto the green stretch of lawn. One of their dogs, Max, was already running around on the lawn playing fetch with her older brother, Nathaniel. The other dog Loki was probably still in her doggy bed fast asleep or else eating food in the backyard. She could hear the sound of dishes from breakfast being cleaned by their cook, Cara. Even Lily's 5 year-old sister, Mary was awake playing with Nana, the caretaker in the room across the hall. She was the late riser this morning. Her mother would want to know why she'd slept in (she didn't usually sleep that late) she would also be wondering how Lily's garden had grown to look like hers in a night. That could be bad; she didn't want her mother to know about her plant thing just yet. Her mother would probably notice the humongous rings under her eyes too.
Lily sighed, moved into the restroom and turned on the shower.

Her father was in the living room in his favorite chair next to the fire. He looked up from his Sunday paper when she walked in, giving her a, "Good morning, Sleepyhead. You slept late today.” in his rough, lovable voice. “You missed breakfast. Your favorite, Pancakes!"
"Good morning, Dad!” She said, “Where’s mom?"
"Oh she's out in her garden as always. You should go see if Cara will cook something up before you go. “And he went back to his paper.
Lily went into the kitchen grabbed two pieces of bread and darted out the door into the late morning sunlight. Jacob was roughhousing with Nathaniel since Max had obviously gotten bored with playing fetch. Jacob shrieked "good morning" as Nathaniel tackled him. Jacob struggled to get up and Nathaniel cried, “Morning, Sis!" before tackling Jacob all over again.
Jacob didn't look Anything like Lily despite being "twins". For one, His Hair was almost white it was so blonde, as Lily's Hair was Black as a Raven's just like their grandmother's. Jacob was short, still had a little baby fat, hated Math with all the Revulsion in his body (or so he claimed), Loved Science, Got good grades in everything but Math, And got along with Practically everyone. Lily, on the other hand Was Tall, Skinny, Beautiful, Loved Math, Got Good Grades In Everything you could think of, And Should have gotten along with Everybody but only had one Good friend, Jennifer King.
Jennifer King was anything BUT royalty. For one, her family was so poor that they had to live on Lily's family's property (which explained why Jennifer and Lily were such good friends). Jennifer was Also Tall, Clumsy, Almost Pretty enough to be called beautiful but just a little short of the line, Didn't really care much for Math, Got B's In practically every subject accept Math, Was Not Even Noticed In the Hall, And, Like Lily, Has Only one Good Friend, Lily Sharp.
Lily was startled out of her thoughts by her mother's warm but commanding voice, “Well, THERE you are! I thought you were going to sleep all Day! I've got a few questions for you, Lily. Follow me!"
