Restless Nights
Chapter One: A Womans Best Friend[/u]
I walked into the house. It was okay, nothing special. A bed, a T.V. a table and…what you can call chairs. Nothing much had happened in the last few days, I found this place in the paper, came, the house was free. So I came and saw the place before moving and liked it. The farmyard was a little . . . filled up. Stick branches, rocks everywhere. I knew I would probably only farm a couple times a year, but who cared? I was on my own now! No mom or dad to boss me around!
* * *
My dog jumped up on my bed, his name was Koro. He had to pee. Again. This was the 3rd time he had to go tonight.
“Don’t you have anything better to do?” I asked him with my hands on my hips. I still had my skirt on from yesterday, but I would change out of it once the sun came up. If I woke up on time. I looked at my dog, then turned him loose. He ran around the yard for a while, then he went. I picked him up when he ran over to me and headed back to the door. I heard foot clatters out beyond the farm and put my dog inside. Nervously I walked over to it. Only my steps could be heard now. The person had probably heard my footsteps so he stopped. I took a couple more steps and saw a man sitting on the ground. He had a hat on, and he was sweating like a pig! I couldn’t see him, but I could sure smell him! He was gasping for breath. Upon closer look, I could see by the light of a street lamp, he had blisters all over his hands. He looked up and examined me, he didn’t talk, but I did.
“What happened?” I asked. He looked down then looked back up.
“Work” he managed to say “I’ve just been working, in the Blacksmith shop, my grandpa works there. I’d better be getting back” He stood up and added “I’m Gray”
“Claire” she said
“See you later” he got up and walked into a house. Just as I turned around, I heard the door open again
“Hey,” Gray said “I was wondering, you want to go for a walk?” he shut the door. I need to go to the Hot Springs and I was wondering if, you wanted to go?”
I thought about this. “Why not”
“We can take the path through the farm. We headed down the field talking about everything.
“What’s it like in this town?” I asked “I just moved here, it seems like a nice place.”
“It really is!” he exclaimed “It’s nothing like the city!” I nodded in agreement. We finally reached the hot springs. It only took about 5 minutes to get there and we walked really slow. The sun started to come up a little. I could now see Grays face completely.
“Turn around” he said. I did what he told. When he was in, I went in the changing room and changed into a towel that was in there. I got in. The water soothed my aching body from the restless night. I want to give that dog a hug when she got home! He helped her get introduced to Gray I sunk into the water, and Gray did the same.
* * *
“Thanks for walking me home Gray”
“Anytime” I opened the door, walked inside and gave my dog a hug. I changed because the sun had peeked in my window and went to look around.
Authors Notes-The chapter sre sure to be longer. I know it's kid of weird that I'm a boy writing in the eyes of a girl. But oh well. Hope you enjoy reading this!

So far this seems to be good. It is not that odd that you are writting from the view point of a girl, when you are a boy. Take a look at the story I wrote, it had a view point through a girl's eyes.

Awesome, I can't wait to read it. Yeah, it probably would be hard to write from a girl's POV if you aren't one. But...you're doing pretty good at it.
