Okay, I'm writing a new story. (Yes, I know ANOTHER ONE!) I've had so many writer's blocks in the past, but THIS time it's different! I made SURE I finished writing my fanfic BEFORE posting it on the web. So, I hope you enjoy me new fic "Un Mundo Diferente" (A Different World).
BlueSun91 was my inspiration for writing this fanfic.
My name is Naomi Carmen Torrez. I'm 15 years old, but at times, I act like I'm 7. I'm Puerto-Rican, have very light brown eyes, long straight dark brown hair, 5' 4" , weighing at 115 lbs and have tan skin.
I live in Chicago with my mother, Deserà, and my little sister, MarÍ. My five biggest obsessions are singing, drawing, boys, music and anime. One of my favorite anime's is Avatar: The Last Airbender. Yeah, I know it's a show for little kids, but I'm still a kid at heart!
I'm a freshman at Webster High School and I have 3 close friends. Clara, Pedro and Kirsti, but you'll find out more about them later. Right now, I'm going to tell you about the day I ended up in the Avatar World. Here's my story...
" And now for the finishing touches..." I said to myself as I finish putting the final details on my drawing I made of Prince Zuko. A little detail here and some shading there and I finaly finished. I blow off the eraser shavings on my drawing and admired it. It looked just like him, it was perfect!
I looked over my shoulder and glanced at the time on my stereo. To my surprise, it was already 6:58 p.m. Two more minutes until the new episode of Avatar comes on. I quickly close my sktechbook, throw it under my bed and ran out into the family room,. Only one thing serperated me from the TV, and that was MarÍ.
" MarÍ, step away form the TV! Avatar's on in two minutes and I DON'T want to miss it!" I scowled at my little sister. She looked at me angrily.
" No way! İMe toca a MI para ver el televsÍon!" she squealed. I darted out of my room, hopped over my couch and snatched the remote out of her hand. I took a seat in my mother's leather chair and changed the channel to Nickelodeon. I smirked at MarÍ and stuck out my tounge. She huffed and crossed her arms. " İMamá! İNaomi se cambie el canal!" she cried.
"İNaomi, por favor! Let your sister watch TV!" I heard my mother shout from the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes and groaned. "İPero, mamá! Avatar's on in 2 minutes and I don't want to miss it!"
"Naomi, your 15! You too old to be watching some childish cartoons!"
" But I'm still a kid at heart, mamá. And besides, don't you watch 'Maya and Migel' with MarÍ?" I pointed out. She looked down at me from the top stoop of the stairs.
" That show is educational. Unlike that stupid Avatar crap." my mother scowled.
" Avatar isn't stupid! It's interesting and, somewhat, funny." My sister chuckled under her breath and smirkied at me." The only thing YOUR interested in on that show is that Prince Zuko person, verdad?" I felt my cheeks heat up with embaressment. She actually was right. I mean, sure he's just a cartoon, but he's a pretty cute cartoon.
When my sister saw my cheeks light up, an evil grin stretched across her face. " Ha! I knew it!" she cheered. I growled and stomped my foot. "Shut up, MarÍ! I didn't say I did!"
"But you didn't say you didn't either." she replied.
"İYa! İAplacate los dos!" my mother scowcled as she came down into the family room. She glared at MarÍ. " MarÍ, leave Naomi alone!" She took her glare off of her and then looked at me. " Naomi, stop acting like such a little child and start acting your age or so help me, I will TREAT you like one! Me entiendes!" I looked down and nodded.
After mamá went back upstairs into the kitchen, stompt into my room, slammed the door and leaped onto my bed. Mamá was right, I should stop acting like such a little kid. But at the same time, she was wrong! Sometimes, I like geing a kid at heart. I never even HAD a childhood to begin with! But neither she nor MarÍ will EVER understand!
I reached under my bed and pulled out my sketch book. I flipped through several pages until I reached the one I made of Prince Zuko. Then I took out my Video iPod and turned it on. Cascada's "Wouldn't It Be Good?" began to play. I began singing along while staring at the drawing. It was like I was singing for him and only him.
Remember
the day I heard your voice you called my name Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Wouldn't it be good to be on your side The times passing by Wouldn't it be good to be in
your shoes Wouldn't it be good to be on
your side
There was a sign
It was the time
To take me away to
your arms
A single
touch
Would stop my pain
I feel like you in everything i
do
Even if it was
for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves
away
Grasses always
greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a
care
I feel like you
I always
do
Youre my place to hide
I don't know why
Still hear your
voice
Still feel the same
Single kiss can stop the rain
So
close to you in everything i do
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good
if we could wish ourselves away
Grasses always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good
if we could live without a care
Before I could finish the last verse, I noticed that my batteries were low. I then reached into my pocket and took out my solar-powered charger. (Authors Note: Yes, I know! There are no such things as solar-powered iPod chargers! But, use you imagination, people!) I connected my iPod to the charger turned it off and left it in a patch of sunlight on my bed.
I yawned and felt my eyes getting heavy. As I lay myself to sleep, I sang the last verse to the song.
Wouldn't
it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one
day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away...
