Β Β Β Β Β Β Β βi think we can both agree that matilda and gloria are literally theΒ queens.β she laughs with her, on their way to check out the pile of books theyβve gathered collectively. clara felt horrible she couldnβt be much help on the matters of manual labor or any strenuous physical activity.Β βthat sounds absolutely perfect! are you going to make me filipino food? because you know i canβt get enough of that chicken ad-o-bo you whipped up.β she glanced at the librarian who checked the books one by one, eyeing the pair as if they were going to steal the books.
as the librarian checks out the books, aurora unzips her tiny little purse pulling out a reusable bag to easily care the books.Β β ooooo!! living room fort, we havenβt done one of those in a while. β she exclaims, plopping in one book at a time in the bag.Β β as much as some chicken adobo would do us well, iβm thinking of making something more heartwarming.Β to help you relax and gain some energy for book fever.Β hmm... βΒ she pauses and freezes before suddenly,Β β i got it! sinigang! β
Β Β Β Β Β Β βthank you.β her cheeks turned a rosy coloured hue, smile sheepish as she watched rora pick up the books. she wouldβve helped if not for her swiftly disintegrating energy. βyup, those are itβfor now.β despite lacking any physical power, hope read like crazy. once she had a book in hand, there was no distracting her from it. βiβm thinking i should get one of those carts to pull around so i can carry my books around. my arms are the worst. what do you think?β or she could hire a personal assistant, like her parents wanted, but that would draw too much attention.
βa cart would seem efficient. it reminds me of matilda; remember that book? she was my queen as a child. gloria steinemΒ is the forever queen of my heart. β she giggles in her bubbly way, holding the books up as she looks to the side to maneuver to the checkoutΒ desk.Β β how about we bring these books back home and iβllΒ make lunch.Β we can have a cute cozy day with books and books and more books. β plopping the books down gently as her struggling arms could let her,Β β ooooo. and iβllΒ make a decorate-it-yourself cupcake station. β
aurora stood in a little circle huddled with some other girls as she spoke passionately about the everlasting theory of possible starting another charity. her current charity was focused on children in poverty in underdeveloped countries but now as she resided in Oxford she truly could see she could make more of a difference.Β so they walk, with the girls still hovering around her and she in the middle.Β β sexual harassment is a prevalent issue in todayβs society and not to mention the percentage of people that continue to not reveal they were harassed or even --β she droned on and on as the girls listen to her wholeheartedly.Β auroraβs tiny purse hinged on her inner elbow and her coat merely draped over her shoulder as she strodeΒ confidently speaking about these issues.
she fixes her hair, twirling a finger through it.Β Β βbut despite everything, i still believe in true love.Β itβs a childish belief but sometimes all you have have is hope.β she states as the girl's nod. she continues to talk unknowingly before she bumps into a taller body.
βiβmΒ so sorr-β she looks up and she sees familiar eyes that cut into her core and just made her want to cry.
βso i heard a few new jokes today. want to hear them?β bambi giggled softly as she tucked some hair out of her face before taking another sip out of the cup in front of her. she was obviously a little drunk, it had been a long week for her and she needed a small destress.Β
aurora was just her normal peppy self and wanted to indulge in the on going happiness so she merely looks at the girl.Β Β β okay. hit me with your best shot. β she responds in her chipper tone, far too happy for someone who just finished an economics exam.Β she does note the girls slight drunken state reminding herself to make sure the girl finds a safe way home.
Β Β it wasnβt a surprise the first place sheβd gravitate to was the library. books were her best friends growing up, next to her homeschool teacher mrs. lΓ³pez, secluded from any kind of social scene. as much as she wanted to check out a dozen of books, she only got away with five, but even that was a struggle to carry for her when fatigue started to invade her system, leading her to drop the books.Β βΒ ay, dios mΓo.Β βΒ she gasped, partially because of the books but more from her body weakening all of a sudden.
the library was auroraβs haven and once she picked up her newest victim she couldnβt let go. the novel stay with me bore into her soul and took a sliver of it as it placed itself in her heart with the other books she adored. she was seated in a tiny crevice in the library, surrounded by the comfort of her coat and purse before hearing books hit the ground.Β her brown eyes peer above the book to see her favourite person,Β β hay naku, hope. β she breathes out sweetly before going to help out her roommate.Β β let me get them for you; are these it? β she asks picking up the book and creating a neat pile before picking it up.
What up, itβs Jay!! Here I finally bring in a second child who is literal sunshine and somewhat of an emotional mess. Like this to plot and Iβll message you or feel free to hit me up if youβd like to plot!!
