Avery Anne Everard (Part 1, Chapter 1)

Inserted is a picture of the My American Girl doll Avery is, in case you would like to buy one.
 The character is an original one, made by me, Breck, and is owned by me and only me. If you would like to buy that doll and name her Avery and use this as her backstory, please ask permission first. I don't own the name, just the character.

Chapter 1

Avery!” Mum's housekeeper, Anna Rodrick, yelled.

Yes, Anna?”

Miss Everard says you're to come downstairs at once.”

I finished french braiding my hair and ran downstairs to Mum's sitting room, where she was lounging on a burgundy chaise lounge.

Yes, Mum?”

Avery, darling, I just got off the phone with Mr. Simpson from Landring Academy. He said that due to your special abilities, you should transfer to the advanced classes at once. And he did not by any means suggest that you skip a grade. We're just starting with the advanced classes for now.”

I adjusted my chocolate color glasses. “Really? Thanks bunches, Mum. It's jolly good news.”

Mum smiled a slight smile. “You're welcome, of course. Now go finish getting ready.”

I ran joyfully back upstairs, smiling the whole time. I would get to take advanced classes!

My cell phone rang as soon as I got upstairs. “Hello?” I answered it.

Avery, how are you?”

Catherine!” I yelled. Catherine was my best friend who had moved to America three months ago.

Yep, it's me.” I could almost see Catherine's little smile she had when she said that.

Guess what? I just got into the advanced classes!”

That's great! Speaking of advanced classes, how are things going at school?”

Good, it's just so lonely without you.”

I know, it's lonely here. Quinn does keep me entertained, though. She's not you, though. You're so much more entertaining, especially with your hilarious Southern accent.”

I giggled a little at the thought.

Okay, my mom says I have to go get ready for school. See ya!” Catherine said.

Bye.”

I sat the phone down on my nightstand and started getting ready.



As Mum's chauffeur dropped me off, I walked into the school building and straight to my first class of the day, Maths. I was best at it, and I needed to tell Mrs. Henderson that I was moving to Advanced Maths.

She walked in the door, carrying an overstuffed tote bag filled with piles of papers.

Mrs. Henderson,” I said, “I'm transferring to Advanced Maths.”

She looked up at me.

Ah, what a pity. You and Catherine were always my best two students. Now I've lost both of you.”

Well, I can come see you sometimes. It's not like Catherine, she moved across an ocean.”

That's right, Miss Avery. Now, you might want to go to the office and get your new schedule so you aren't late to any of your classes this morning.”

Bye, Mrs. Henderson,” I said.

Goodbye and good luck in your new classes,” she said as I went to the office.



After my long day at school, I walked home (it was nice outside) and walked up to my room, to call Catherine.

I dialed her number and crossed my fingers in hopes that she would pick up.

Hey, it's Catherine. I'm probably off doing something crazy and random with my BFF Avery, so leave a message and I'll call you back!” The beep that signaled for me to leave a message went off.

It's Avery, um, and just call me back whenever you can. Bye.”

Listening to her recording made me sad. There was no way she was off doing things with me now that she was in Chicago and I was in England.

I felt like a fish out of water.



Since it was a long weekend, I slept a lot. In fact, I only got up to eat and use the restroom. The rest of the time, I was either asleep or in my room.

Catherine had left a message telling me all about her new email address and telling me to get one, so I did. In fact, I sent her an email.


To: Catherine Cahill <kittycatherine9@chicagomail.com>

From: Avery Everard <veeakaavery17@uk.com>

Sub: HEY!



Hey, Catherine, it's me, Avery as you can probably tell. I just got an email account last night and decided to email you since I'm really bored.

How are things in Chicago? Have you gone anywhere fun yet?

Send me some pictures if you can!



~Hugs and Kisses, Vee
