Looking at these Block lettered emails on my G***l account I felt so elated and Happy.It was like a dream come true for me.After several days of hard work and sleepless nights I finally got good news on my books... Babies.I suddenly felt very emotional as tears of joy streamed down my face.
" OMG! Why are you crying, Stella? What happened? , Was your book accepted? " Steve threw series of questions at me at once.I had completely forgotten that I wasn't alone in the room.
We were currently in my room at my house... Our room as I would call it as our relationship had gotten deeper into the depths that for my possessions I don't use the word ' My ' but in place of it, I use ' Our ' I had come to believe that whatever is mine is hers and vice versa.Don't get me wrong, we aren't Married couples or lesbians.We are Just Two girls who became best friends..... Twins actually, from different fathers and mothers.
We had different types of blood running through our veins but that didn't matter at all in our relationship." Why are you spacing out all of a sudden, Ella? , What's wrong, you are acting very strange and it's scaring me. " She said in a panicked voice." Well, I... " I wasn't able to finish my Statement as Steve snatched my Android phone from me and before I knew it she squealed." OMG! Stella!!! You Nailed it!!! I am so very proud of you!!! Congratulations!!!! " She jumped on me as we both embraced on the bed, due to the sudden Hug I lost my balance and we both rolled on the bed in a tight embrace.
" I am proud of you, Honey!!! " She said as she began pecking my cheeks." Stop! " I managed to say, Steve was always like that behaving like a child even though she's turning Sixteen this year." Oh, sorry. " She said as she rose from my body." Thanks for the excitement and yes, it's not just my glory and winning but ours. " I said which a smile." Yes, yes, of course, it's ours. " Steve agreed shamelessly.' Shamelessly as always ' I thought.
Well, what I said was logical, it wasn't my glory Alone but the both of us why because Steve was my right hand.She was there with me and for me every step of the way.She was there to motivate me when I became less confident in myself which was a result of me comparing myself with other writers who were more talented and smarter than me as I always say.I'll never forget Steve's words which always serve as my motivation Along with her Warm embrace and comforting hands which always patted my head on anything I feel like I can't take it anymore and burst into tears.Her words were.
<< Stop comparing yourself to other Writers, Ella as this is you, you are writing your own story which no one can write for you, The only writer you should compare yourself with is the writer you were yesterday and not anyone else. >><< All you need to do is to put your heart into Writing, Fill in the emotions, love your characters and you'll see you'll become a great writer someday. >><< Always remember that you are way smarter and more creative than you think, all you have to do is to put yourself in a position and you'll see. >>Her words always worked like magic as I often feel very motivated after hearing them.
Well, it's become kind of cliche but yet the words never lost their power and Magic.Lest I forget, Steve has always been my number one fan as she always made sure to read my book immediately after I finished writing and she also helps me with Editing and she also gives me ideas of what to write.Sometimes I always wonder how I'll be without her, she was my motivation, inspiration, and everything.She's the brain behind my Amazing Writing style as she always claims It's no wonder why I made my Pen name a combination of both of our names.Stelva@16Though the name seems a little boring yet it means a lot to me
..both of us." You are spacing out again! , What's going on in that head of yours! " Once again Steve's voice was heard." Nothing much, I was just thinking of random things. "
" Are you sure? " She asked me, raising an eyebrow, it was as if she didn't believe me." Yes. " I replied." Hm, now that our dreams have come true, why don't we celebrate it? " She suggested.
" Sure, how do you think we should celebrate it? " I asked.
" Hm... " She placed her hands on her chin as if thinking of what to say.
" Wait, why don't we go to the funfair? , We can do some picnic, go to the haunted house, go swimming, dancing, karaoke, and eat some grilled meat? " She said with sparkling eyes." Sure we can do that, When should we go for that? " " Today of course or do you have anything else to do today? " She inquired." Well, I have to Write 5000 words for my daily updates and also to read and review a fellow writer's novel but no worries I can do that when we get back. " I replied.
" Perfect, no let's go and rock the town! " She beamed.I simply smiled even though I was also very excited about what was to come.Chapter five: the funfair.A few minutes later The two girls were already dressed up for the funfair.Ella was dressed in a black loose-fitting spaghetti tank top which was paired with blue jeans trousers, She had a white Canvas on her feet, a golden chain around her neck and finally, she had a black flower-designed bag strapped on her back, it contained the random things they'll need at the funfair like, Some pens, a notebook, some colored scarfs and so on.Steve, on the other hand, wore a loosely fitting orange tank top which was paired with A blue shorts, she had a diamond chain around her neck, brown sandals on her feet, and a cute brown Mickey mouse handbag on her strapped on her shoulders.They both had their hair tied in a bun and they were ready to go.~~~~~~~Ella's POV.
