I sit in the classroom with my friend. "Oh, my gosh! He is totally looking at you!" I squeal excitedly. My friend, Lara gives me a sharp look saying "SHUT UP!" I instantly fall silently and look back at the boy who she's been crushing on for years. I've never been able to tell anyone how my other friend, Nathalie liked him too. And...I've always secretly thought Nathalie has a better chance with him.
Of course, I wouldn't tell Laura that, not in a million years. Another secret is that I've kind of, just sort of been helping Nathalie. Not anything huge like setting them on a blind date or anything,I've just been dropping little hints everywhere and helping Nathalie look pretty every single day for school.
"So...you think I've got a chance?" Laura whispers as the teacher hands out worksheets. Nathalie asked me this just he other day. I told Nathalie "Sure!" but then, that was the truth.... I look at Laura, who's staring at me eagerly.
"Sure! Of course! Why not!?" I blurt out, receiving a stern look from the teacher. Laura beams at me and I feel the back of my palms sweat. After a few weeks after that, the guy finally asks Nathalie out. I was there to both congratulate and comfort. Laura's still trying, trying and trying. I watched everyday, how she puts on a perfect smile, mascara, or lip gloss in the school bathroom. Not knowing that the reason she's wasting her time is because I was the one who gave her false hope and false security. The reason why she puts on lip gloss every 10 minutes.
Whoa! That was brilliant! I like the way how you used the ellipsis "And...I've always secretly thought Nathalie has a better chance with him." It was really pulling on my chain, "What's going to happen? Did he ask one of them out?" However I would just like to point out at the end of the first paragraph I think it should be "Nathalie had a better chance with him." But aside from that it was an excellent story! Nice job!

ReplyDeleteIts weird but while I was reading this I kept thinking "OH MY GOD, whats gonna happen next?" It's very interesting. And I like the part when you said, "Laura's still trying, trying and trying. I watched everyday, how she puts on a perfect smile, mascara, or lip gloss in the school bathroom. Not knowing that the reason she's wasting her time is because I was the one who gave her false hope and false security. The reason why she puts on lip gloss every 10 minutes." LUV IT!:)
