With Faith
Chapter 2: With Wishes
Mariabella's Point Of View
I woke up earlier morning just to write in my diary of the boy that I truly admire. Yes, call me a love-sick girl, but I believe in the three words; 'happily ever after'. After writing a small entry, I put on a soft yellow dress with stockings to keep me warm. Everyone was still asleep so I grabbed my shoes and my mother's cape. I put in my butterfly clip into my hair and wrapped the cape around me. I put my shoes on, and I looked at the ground. "Great it snowed its going to make me late!" I shut the door behind me and ran down the road and walked into Miss. William's store.
It was a bookstore with a supermarket inside. I sat by the register from the time of 6 in the morning until noon. "Mariabella, you always seemed to be in your world," Miss. Williams gave me a funny look. I smiled, "I can't help it. Oh, I think I'm in love!" I stood up and started to dance with Ms. Williams. We couldn't help but be giddy.
Slowly we parted and busted out laughing. I ran to the door as I saw Phillip 'Phil' Miker walk across the street and to the store. He was the boy I always had a crush on. He was perfect. Tall and handsome, and lets not forget, he always looked so mysterious. Every girl wants to be his. I am one of those girls, but the only time he does notice me, is when I'm here. I'm a hopelessly in love fan girl with the town's heartthrob. Sienna always teased me about so, but I don't mind.
The thought of her gave me worry, I grew a bad feeling that something happened at her job. Oh dear, one day she's going to get herself into trouble… But slowly I was pulled out of my trance when I heard him. I spun around from what I was doing to look at Phil. "Hey, you alright?" "I am fine, just in thought." Phil nodded his head. And went into the gardening area and after he got soil he turned towards the books, where I was looking at a romance novel.
"So, bookworm, how has life been to you?" I giggled, "Fine, still, I wish I could read this, but people always come in here." He looked at me carefully, I could feel his eyes on me and I blushed. Suddenly he took my book and with the soil went to the register. He looked at me again, and I went to the register and rang up the soil. "What about the book?" "I'll pay for it, consider it a gift May." I smiled and thanked him.
Suddenly, Miss. Williams came out. "Your shift is done. I don't need you tomorrow." I thanked her and headed to the door. "May, walk you home?" "If you wish to, but I have another job to get to." "Sure, just let me to give this to my dad." He walked to his dad and handed him the soil and walked to me. "Shall we?" "Race you!" And I darted home.
Out of breath, I panted when I got to the door with him. "For a bookworm, not that bad." I smirked. "I must go, but thank you!" He left and I ran inside, placing the book on my bed. I grabbed something to eat and sat down. I had 40 minutes so I relaxed. I saw Sienna run in wet, run into the room, and then back out. Wild one she is. Always running around.
I walked to the next house and helped Old Reckers house. There I cleaned the house for her. She walked to me and threw a bag of silver coins to me. "Thank you, you may go now." I silently left and sat down on my bed and closed my eyes…
Sienna should be here soon…
