My Writing-Done By Bree

Hey everyone! It's Bree,and I'm just going to post some writing from my novel for NanoWrimo. Here is a little peek-

 I looked over the boat,smiling as I watched the sun set.The sky had tones of pink,orange,and turquoise as it set.I looked down,and watched the water.It was a very pretty blue,mixed with some greens. You could see the reefs through the crystal clear water,changing the color from blue and green to the pinks and oranges of reefs.It was beautiful.
 We were on vacation in Eilat,Israel to see the 6000 year old reefs.They were located in the Red Sea.
 I heard yells and the boat came to a stop.I turned around,trying to see what had happened.I couldn't understand a thing here.I was glad this was out last day. I took a couple of steps,trying not to fall in my 4 inch platforms.I saw land and the dock.
 "Come on,Katalina.We are leaving!" I heard my mom call.I hated it when she called me by my full first name.It's not fair.Why did she have to give me such a weird name?
 "Mom,you know my name's Kat!" I called,making my way across the slippery deck.I lifted my white maxi,trying to keep it dry.The bangles on my wrist clanked,reminding me to check my watch.I looked at it and almost gasped.It was ten 'till 12 p.m. I had to get to the airport by 12:30.
 "Mom,we have to leave now!"
 " Hon,It's only 11:00.We still have an hour to leave."
 "No,Mom,it's almost 12:00.We have to leave now if we're going to meet Dad at the airport and sit together."
 "Hon,our seats are together! We won't be separated! Not this time."She muttered the last sentence,not intending me to hear.I did,though.
 "Well,let's go!"I said,stomping across the dock.I walked up the boardwalk,turned right into the cul-de-sac of small houses,and made my way down the sidewalk.
 "Hey,Katalina,the cars back there."I turned around and walked the other way.I was so turned around here.Why did my dad have to be a surgeon. Why why why! If he wasn't we wouldn't be here and we wouldn't have all this money to spend on trips around the world! It was my moms idea to see the reefs,I wanted to stay home. 
 "Kat,what is wrong?"
 "Mom,we could have spent a vacation in New York like we planned so I could be with my friends and you this summer.But no,we end up in some Israel city half way around the world to see the oldest barrier reef."I said this last part in a disgusted voice.She had to know how mad I was.
 " I know.This was your father's idea,you know.He wanted you to see the world when you were little.When you still loved sail-....."
 " Don't even mention that."I said,cutting her off.
 "What I'm trying to say is we dedicated half the summer here and half the summer there.That way we're all happy."
 " OK,whatev-oops.I meant sure?"I said,saying the last part like a question.My mom had this strict "no-one-says-whatever-in-this-house-or-they-won't-eat-in-a-month" policy.
 "Yeah,you better have meant sure." My mom said,giving me a stern look.Then she laughed."Your sister was always doing that.It was to bad...."She trailed off."Well,never mind.We better get going if we're going to meet your father.We have to be there in 30 minutes.Good thing we packed this morning before we left." I smiled and followed my mom to the car.I got in the passenger seat and sank down.I hated the questioning looks we got from the small kids who had never see a vehicle before.Which was most of them,since the only thing driven here was carts.But my father had insisted on a car,and guess what we ended up with?A car.



So what do you think? Is it good,ok,or You could do better.Comments are appreciated!
