I got the idea of Rikki writing poems from Avatar Rikki's story, Peaceful Waters. It's an amazing story if you haven't read it.
Who knew?
Emma's pov
Cleo, Bella, and I were sitting in Cleo's room, studying for an up-coming test. Rikki was here,
but she claim her dad wanted her home. Though we all know that she just wanted to get out
of studying.
"What's this," Bella asked, picking up a small red notebook.
"I don't know. I've never seen it before," Cleo said, looking up from her textbook.
"Wasn't that where Rikki's bag was. It must have fallen out," I pointed out.
"Wonder what's in it," Cleo said, taking the notebook from Bella's hands.
"No, Cleo, we can't. It's Rikki's," I said, pulling the notebook out of her grip.
"Oh c'mon, what's it gonna hurt, Em," Bella said.
"I'm not going to be a part of this," I said, dropping the notebook on the bed.
Cleo, quickly, picked it up and opened it to a random page. Bella looked over her shoulder. I rolled my eyes and looked back down at my textbook.
"Oh my god, Rikki writes poems," Bella shieked.
"What," I said ripping the notebook out of Cleo's hands.
Sure enough there on the page the notebook was opened up to, had a neatly written poem about the ocean. I flipped through a couple of pages, seeing a poem or two on each page. Some poems were even more then one page.
"Who knew Rikki was a poet," Bella said."I surely didn't know," I muttered, still looking though the notebook.
Right then Cleo's phone started ringing.
"It's Rikki," She said, looking at the screen of her phone. She answered it and put it on
speaker.
"Hey, Rikki," she said, cheerful as always.
"Hey, did I leave a little red notebook at your house," Rikki asked.
The girls and I shared a smile.
"What's in the notebook," I asked.
"Nothing important, Em," she said.
"So your poems aren't important," Bella asked.
"You guys looked in my notebook," Rikki shouted.
"Rikki, you're an amazing poet. There's nothing to be ashamed of," Cleo said.
"I don't care. You guys had no right to look in there," she said, pausing before saiding softly, "thanks. That means a lot."
With that she hung up. Cleo, Bella, and I shared another smile before getting back to studying.
