Chapter 2: I Accidentally Met An Angel? (Part 1)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!
RING!
The final bell has rang.
"So how are you gonna get home?" Camille ask.
"Well my-" Suddenly a text came in. "I'm visiting Aunt Caroline. Could you walk home today? Love, Mom." Jo read out her text. "Well, I'm just gonna walk home I guess?"
Suddenly three boys appear. "New kid alert!" The short Latin boy said.
"Guys, this is Jo Taylor, she's new here." Camille said.
"Well, my name is Hortense Mitchell. But call me by my middle name, Logan." Said a boy with a smile.
"And I'm Carlos!" Said the Latin boy "and this is helmet!"
Suddenly, a tall brunette boy appear beside Jo, wrapping his hand around her. "And I'm," he pauses and flip is hair "Diamond. James Diamond."
Jo looked at Camille with pleading eyes asking for help. "Guys, it's her first day here, you don't wanna scare her off right?" Camille said. The three of them mouthed sorry.
"And where's, Kendall?" Camille ask.
"Kendall said he's gonna head to the shop early today." Logan said.
"Uh, who's Kendall?" Jo ask.
"Kendall is our school's hockey captain. He owns a puzzle shop in town," Carlos said.
"And why does he owns a shop?" Jo ask, again.
"Cause he lives with his dad. And since his dad retired from his work, Kendall decided to open up a shop to support both of them." James continued.
"Oh." Jo said. Suddenly, Jo's tummy grumble. "Looks like someone is hungry." Camille chimed.
Jo blushed a little. "I guess so. It's great talking to you guys but I gotta go," Jo said "I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye."
Jo went into town to find a place to eat. Suddenly she stopped walking. She saw an angel statue and read the sign.
This angel will guide you into your future. Just put one dime in the slot and you will find out what will happen.
"Hmm... So that's how it works." Jo said. She took out one dime and put it in the slot. Then, a paper came out from the angel's hand. Jo gently took it and read it.
The chances will appear in a blink of an eye, if you don't take it, you will lose it.
Suddenly a strong wind came and blew the paper out of Jo's hand. "My paper!" Jo shouted as the thing flew across the alley and landed on the ground. Jo gently picked the paper up. Suddenly Jo saw someone that she would never forget.
"Dad?!" Jo gasped. She didn't knew who he was, but she knew that it wouldn't hurt to ask that man.
As the man was walking along the busy streets, Jo kept pushing her way through. "Excuse me!" Jo said "Sorry!"
As she came into a market, the man was gone. "Where did he went?" Jo panted "am I imagining things?"
As she walked along the streets, something caught her eyes. It was a puzzle. As she looked closely, it was a puzzle of her dad and a teenage boy. She looked up at the sign which says "Imagine Puzzles".
She decided to check out the store. "Welcome!" She heard someone greeted her. As she look around her surroundings, everywhere was full with colorful puzzles.
She saw a figure putting up a puzzle and accidentally knock over a small statue of an angel. Jo quickly ran over and grabbed it.
"I'm glad you're here or this little angel was gonna be a goner. Thanks." The man said.
He's the guy in that puzzle. Jo thought.
"So, what can I help you with?" The man ask.
"Uh, that man outside that shop." Jo said motioning him to follow her. "Yes, that one." Jo pointed at the puzzle of her dad and the man.
"Oh, this. You can bring your own picture and let me turn it into a puzzle." He explained.
"Well, who is this man?" Jo pointed at her father.
"Oh, his my dad." He said with a smile.
"Your...dad?!" Jo was surprise.
"Yea, what's wrong?" The man ask.
"Well, I mean," Jo stammer "You guys, don't look...alike?!"
The man look closely at the puzzle picture. "Really?! This is the first time I heard someone saying we don't look alike."
"Well, yea," Jo said "your eyes are light green while his eyes are chocolate brown. And by the way how old is your dad?"
"His 56 years old." He answer.
"Your dad-" Jo was cut off by him.
"Look miss, why are you so interested in my father?" The man ask angrily "is there something wrong?"
Jo was about to shout "Yes! His my dad!" But she was cut off by a customer.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you sell a full moon puzzle?" Ask a cheerful woman.
"Of course! Follow me!" The man said with a nervous voice.
Jo was about to leave but her mind interrupted her. "No, you're not gonna give up that easily now, aren't you Josephine Taylor!"
After that customer left, the man came outside and he was a little confused why Jo hasn't left.
"I can't believe you're still here..." He said.
"No, I mean, I was going to say that you're father used to be my former teacher. Mr. Taylor right?" Jo ask nervously.
"My dad isn't a teacher," the man said "and he isn't Taylor, it's Knight."
"Oh well, my bad..." Jo let out a chuckle.
"That's okay. I wasn't in a great mood just now," he apologies "actually he stopped by just now."
"Does he always comes here often?" Jo ask.
"Yea, his retired and he has nothing to do, so he usually take a rest."
Jo was sitting inside a small cafe. She just kept wondering about her father. "Here is your, Soup, ma'am." The waiter said and place her food down.
Hmm... It's still hot. Maybe I should read my book, just to wait until it cools down a little bit. Jo thought.
She looked around and couldn't find her book anywhere. She tried to remember the last time she left it.
"Oh no. I left it in that puzzle shop when I help that man grab that statue." Jo said.
Wait! Isn't this what the paper wrote. The angel has given me a chance! Jo thought.
Ok, that was a lame ending... Anyway, the next chapter will be "I accidentally met an angel (part 2)" and again, another lame chapter title.
