The girl next door is stuck in my mind.! What if that girl really did cut off those roses from mum’s super original garden? Mum would be in major disappointment… apart from crying, mad violence! Even dad can’t convince her down! I looked at my window. It was far from morning. It was late afternoon, on a nice sunny day. And in one, or maybe two clicks, my laptop went buzzing!
“Aunt Lola!” I cried. I whizzed to the laptop. An email was sent from Aunt Lola! Now she was at UK, London and I couldn’t wait for her fantastic-o news! I read every paragraph, every sentence, every word. Boy what Aunt Lola wrote was a bunch! “Mum!” I cried. I was forgetting everything about the girl next door now… but I set my mind on it straight away when I looked out of the window.
The girl was back again! “Never mind that!” I cried to mum again. I peered out of the window. The girl was now plucking mum’s ever so nicest, daisies! Oh boy is she going to get troubled. Before I could gasp or scream or anything, mum’s voice interrupted…
“Darling is there a matter? I’ll be downstairs gardening…” Oh no! If mum was gardening, she’d know the steal!
I stopped mum completely! “Mum wait! Why don’t you rest? I can do it for you!”
“Oh thank you honey… but I prefer working than resting.”
“But mum! I want to work for you!”
“To get working money I suppose…”
“No! To just… keep your stresses out. You know, gardening includes worms, slugs, snails…”
“You’ve got a point… Maybe I suppose you can go outside and help water the flowers. I’ll stay in thank you!” Safe work!
I went downstairs and took mum’s super ordinary watering can from the shed and went to the garden at the front of the house. “Since when are you all busy on ‘gardening’ Bell?” Angel my friend asked. I shrugged, not knowing what to say. Options, options. Tell or not? Probably yes.
“Well… there’s this girl who’s been stealing flowers from mum’s garden.” I whispered.
“Oh no!” Angel cried terrified.
“Mum wanted to go gardening so-”
“I get it now. Don’t worry friends are friends… right?”
“Right-y right-so doodle.” I sighed.
“How ‘bout some action?” Angel asked, then winked delightfully. She took the watering can near the gates, (which I should’ve took earlier) and started watering the daisies. I watered the roses.
“Oh…” Angel whispered. I looked at what she was seeing. A daisy being cut of from its green stem. “I… get it… now…” She stammered. I nodded agreeably and kept on working. I could see mum from the kitchen window now.
“Oh no, mum alert!” I cried. We all dashed to the daisies and hid the cut-off one. Mum was heading outside for cool air until… I saw the girl again! She looked from the corner of her eye to the violets, near the gates. Then, in a blink she stole one violet and ran away. I gasped. Angel did too! Neither both of us could believe it. “What’re you hiding there girls? Money on plants?” Mum laughed. But me and Angel thought it serious.
I closed my eyes… and showed mum. I brainstormed a lie for the plant being broken.
“Oh… NO!” mum burst into a soft sniff and turned into a alarming tear-bursting cry. Dad peeped out of the curtain upstairs and sighs. He knew this would happen completely. I knew too!
“No mum… I was watering the plants and accidently stepped on the daisy by mistake! So I gave the daisy to my friend across the road.” I started feel like bursting into tears again… but I held it the longest I’ve held it yet.
“Get that daisy now!” She snapped. “And with your girl over there!” She pointed to Angel. Angel shyly but same feeling as me went out of the garden across the road. I went next to Angel and wanted to apologize.
“Look! Look what you’ve got us into!” She burst out before I could open my mouth. “Trouble first, then DOUBLE trouble second! And third time… look! She scolded me out, let me repeat OUT of the house. Who could do that to me? Your mother of course!” I was in the middle of saying I when she burst out talking once again. “And so you just do that? You just LIED to your own mother, terrified your own friend… how’s that for a best friend actually? How’s THAT?!”
I rummaged through the box. I took one thing out. “Daisy photo frames? Spectacular!” Angel cried. She shuffled the frame aside so she could pay that later.
“A rotten black old daisy….”
“A…” We were pulling things out until I spotted something marvel! A bag of fresh daisies! “I’ll buy these Shimmy!”
“Oaky dokie!” Shimmy puts all of the things in one plastic (oh my gosh she wastes nature!) bag and gives us the change. “Good luck in your ‘whatever’ scene!” She waved goodbye. Then, we went to the sewing shop. Where our best friend Tanya works with her mother! We rung the bell five times and oh my gosh she hasn’t answered! Until we knocked… she opened the door. “What a surprise. Halo friends, welcome to Mom & Daughter Sew!”
“Tanya here?” I asked.
“At the back.” I looked at Angel, she shrugged. We knocked the STAFF ROOM area.
“Angel and Bella! Safe!” I opened the door. Tanya was sitting on the couch and her mother was on an armchair sobbing. I turned red. Then blue, then my normal whit-ish –peach-ish type. Angel asked Tanya ‘bout the thing. She showed us scissors over there at a table. I took the scissors and chopped off the stem. It looked perfect. I gave the other daisies to Tanya and ran back home. Angel was already at the gates but trying to avoid mum (how could she!). I huffed and puffed even though I wasn’t that sweaty on purpose.
“So, where are they?!” Mum snapped bossily. I gave the daisies to mum. “Thank you dear. And thank you Angel…” Mum went back indoors and I gave a the slightest, friendliest, coolest… wink!
Angel was on the garden swing kicking pebbles from the mini-pond mom built. Oh look! She was kicking pebbles! Oh bet mum would scream at her mega-extreme once more. “Angel… Pebbles, mum?” I said. Angel went to the gate. Without saying goodbye, went home.
“Mum I’m off to the marketplace.” I shouted.
“Be back by 7 sharp!” She shouted back.
I took my bicycle and rode all the way to the amazing market place. I parked my bike and… bump, thud crash! I bumped into Angel, who was carrying big bags of stuff. “Oh sor-” Angel walked away. I was a real bummer. So instead, I went to SHIMMY’S STORE instead. I was riding my bike when I bumped in Angel (again)! “What now you… you Bossy Bella!” She nudged me roughly and ran away. It was really obvious something wrong was going on…
Shells! Angel loved shells so much! I entered SHIMMY’S STORE and a ‘ring’ went on. “Obv its something about flowers golly gal?” Shimmy murmured. I shook my head.
“Shells.” Shimmy went to one very, very, dark store room. She, took out a very small box which looked obv not so interesting as the flowers’ box. I opened the box carefully, and to my surprise, shells were in there stacked until the lid! “I’ll take this box Shim. You mind?”
“No problem-o! That’ll be 3 bucks like cheap stuff!” bargain girl! I thought. I went out with the box in my clear hands. I rode the bike, popped the box in the basket. Oh and lucky me again! We both bumped bikes. Yessss! “Angel… here.” I gave the box, hopped on my bike and cycled back home before Angel got a chance to saying ANYTHING. Tomorrow was school and that’s the hard bit!
“Please get out Bella Pearl. I need to chat with you a moment…” Miss Shea chatted about friends, jealousness, and of course ‘shouting’. I stayed locked until more footsteps were heard. Sally’s kiddy shoes, Alison’s baby boots… and Mr. Rockingsten's Shoes. I stayed locked more!
More footsteps were heard. George’s school shoes, Manny’s white ugly shoes…I still stayed locked. But I found out BOYS were entering the GIRLS toilets! Then with shock! Principal Stuart knocked on the toilet door. “Bella Peral, please get out!” He can’t pronounce my name! How rude is that?!
A note was slipped underneath. I read it silently.
Dear, Bella
Sorry about everything. I wish you could forgive me. I love the shells btw. Friendship is infinity! Remember? FRIENDSHIP FOREVER & ALWAYS. I hope you can forgive me! Eva is so weird. She goes on about math’s, and English. Ugh! I bet your better! Hope you come out.
Angel-Cakes (best friend)
I was starring at the note. So at the back I wrote…
You know what? We can be different but we rock! Coming out in a few minutes…
And we did rock, we always did… right?!
I unlocked the toilet door… I saw angel carrying the box of shells. She looked really regret and miserable. From, tears, to bear hug we went! Everyone was cooing aww! So sweet! But only Eva and her friends were like… ‘ugh so disgusting!’. Evil!
We linked arms and both, Me and Angel were a succes! Yay! Thanks to Angel! Ooh. This is only part 1 anyways!
Part2, the stolen daisies isn't solved…
Find out later. Cya!
