Bree
lead us to the fake wooden doors that had half of the skull and cross bones
signs on each door that when it closed the symbol was complete. Nadili hung
back. We were about to leave, when Nadili tapped my shoulder and whispered,
“I’m moving next week and no one knows because they aren’t listening to me.”
Her nervous, but bright blue eyes searched me for advice. I looked at her black
hair, braided on the side and a small curl on the bottom. She had fair skin and
had a few freckles, mostly gathered on her cheeks.
“You’re
just trying to explain at the wrong time.” I murmured back. She nodded and sped
up to catch up with the rest of the group. Exiting the store, Nadili pleaded,
“Guys, I something to tell you.” My friends paused their conversation and
turned to Nadili, who said in a quiet and sad voice, “I’m moving in a week.” It
was quiet for a moment, until Bree broke the silence.
“What?!”
Linda
began to sob, remembering she was going to move. “I’ll miss you all!” she
cried, hugging her sister hard. Her and her sister looked different, but alike.
Both had freckles and fair skin, but Linda had long brown hair and brown eyes.
I pulled out my phone to get a picture as all my friends besides Saige, who
thought it was too girly, hugged Nadili and Linda.
Chapter 2: Madi
After
Nadili proposed that her family was moving to Montana in a week, all the humor
slipped away from me, and I was the first to give her and Linda a hug. One by
one, we all huddled around them, all except Saige, who felt it was too girly,
and Roxana, who stood off to the side to snap a picture. Confused people
exiting the restaurant looked at us with puzzled looks and quickly shuffled off,
obviously embarrassed. But we didn’t care. This was probably the last time we’d
see Nadili and Linda. The next week, they’d be packing the house. I knew what
that felt like.
Next Part coming up!!!!
Excellent dialogue--it looks like a passage from a real book. I think my post on your previous entry was erased but make sure you are clarifying everything for the reader. I wasn't sure about the information about elves--where that came from. You are a talented writer: keep it up!
