My name is Riley and I am thirteen years old. I have always loved to read and write. It started when my aunt bought me the twilight series and I fell in love with them. After that I discovered better books, “My Sisters Keeper”, “The Hunger Games”, “The Forgotten Garden”, all of them I enjoyed. Then came writing. I think it’s the most beautiful gift to be able to put your thoughts on paper, to make a story out of thin air. I live in Toronto and take French immersion. I love photography, especially in black and white. Right now I am traveling the world with my younger brother and parents in fact i am writing from Cambodia at the moment!

Riley-Who I am:
Things I love:
-When you get out from your car after first arriving at a farm and having that country smell hit you in the face and makes you feel like a real country girl for a minute (take one look at me and you'll know that's the last thing I am)
-The feeling of hot water hit your back when you first step into the shower after a long day (I think almost everyone could agree with me on that one)
-When it starts raining and I run outside in my bathing suit taking every precaution to make sure I dont miss one puddle!
-Spraying my younger brother with the hose when he turns his back to me (If you have not done that then you must! Your missing out!)
-When your really wet and you change into dry clothes.
-When I feel really happy or excited and i start jumping up and down and squealing
-When me and my friends say the same thing at the same time
-When I understand something in school that no one else does and i feel smart and sharp, like i know more than everyone else does for once
-crying because im so happy
-Not being able to stop laughing and end up falling to the floor and cleching my stomach because it hurts so much...than stop laughing just in time for someone to crack another joke and make me laugh again!
-Eating chips dipped in salsa (THE BEST!)
-Writing of course! Why else would I be on Protagonize (I amagine there many other reasons I could be on Protagonize but whatever)
-Lying on hot pavement when it's really windy and cold outside
-Reading! (Possibly better then chips dipped in salsa)
-Sneezing....it's just so relieving!
-having a Friday turn out just the way you wanted
-Sleeping in
-Curling up with a bag of popcorn and a few of your friends and having a movie marathon or watching a season of your favourite Tv shows!
-The smell of rain the next day after a storm
crying for no good reason
rolling the car windows down and blasting music

A thirteen year old girl named Riley who is more terrified of Middle school then falling off a 15 storey building. black/brown hair,dark brown eyes.I am tall with long legs that give me hell when it comes to buying jeans. I love to write. I love making friends! I love to listen to music but lets just say singing is not my specailty ;) I love to shop with my mom or with a few of my friends. I just went around the world. I am a vegetarian. I like giving speeches at speech competions and although there is one speaker who just about out does me everytime i still think i do alright. I want to be a criminal psychologist,writer or I want to work in the criminal justice system doing forensics. I love to eat chips and I have a bad habit of pigging out on junk food every. I'm a crazy reader:) I love watching movies and I also like being outdoors although i'm not very good at sports. I spent a week in an elephant nature park in Thailand during my world trip taking care of them,cleaning poop,washing them in the river and feeding them bananas. I know this is a very an organized discription but i'm doing my best. As for my social life I have quite a few friends plus a handfull of friends in France who I miss dearly. I love those drama football movies although I dont know the first thing about football. I have a bad tooth acke right now. I have a little brother who is two years younger then me and his name is Holden,he wants to be a surgen wich I think is a creepy job but what can I say,I want to do forensics! One thing I hate is that I have nobody to read my work who I know in person. My friends tease me about my writing but i know they don't mean it personally. It's nice though that i have people on prtagonize to share my work, no one is judging me, it's just a bunch of amaizing writers who will just help me improve! Thanks to all those protagonists out there! There's plenty I guess to say but not much time to write it since it's allready like ten at night and I should get to bed. One last thing,everyone laughs about this but I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC!!! Ok that's it,hope you read some of my work! I'm starting a small collection of my best works so please check it out when you get a chance (i just started though!)
