Rapunzel: Chapter 1
I sighed over my drawing. I thought it was okay, but no way was it good enough for the Art Contest. I wanted to enter it in. One of my closet friends, Tiana, rubbed my back.
"Don't fret, Sugar, it looks just fine. You're sure to win," she said with her Southern accent. She had lived in this crazy small town for over two years but the accent hadn't dropped a bit. It was clear she was from New Orléans. I gave a small smile to her.
"I don't know. Elsa is entering too," I said. Tiana waved her hand as if saying don't worry.
"I've seen her work, it's all white and blue!" Tiana said.
"It's beautiful though," I said. Tiana nodded.
"Not as beautiful as your flower drawings," she quickly added. She glanced over my face. "It's not just the art bothering you is it?"
"It's Flynn," I confessed.
"Oh Lord Almighty, what did that boy do now?" Tiana asked. She knew well enough that Flynn was a troublemaker because he often managed to drag her boyfriend, his best friend, into trouble with him.
"He stole again," I said quietly, "I have to bail him out after school again." Tiana frowned.
"This is what? The 5th time this month?" Tiana asked.
I nodded, "the school is threatening expulsion if it doesn't stop soon."
"You know, that boy would rout in jail if it weren't for you," she said.
"I know," I sighed.
