Finally the new version of chapter 2, so hope you like it.
After her 5th birthday everything went downhill for Laura. First her best friend moved to Ireland and second her mother died in an accident. Making new friends wasn't her specialty, making enemies on the other hand, was an easy job. She still don't know why her classmates hated her so much. Maybe they hated her before her friend left. Who could blame them, her best friend is the most devilishly handsome boy, his words, she ever met and she was his best friend. They kept in touch, until her mother died. She locked herself up, away from the world. After a while she met Jack. Even though he can't replace her best friend, he was there for her. Laura looked at an old photo of her and her best friend. They were making a sand ship and he was the captain and she the mermaid. She could remember that day like it was yesterday.
"Laura! Let's make a sand ship. I'll be the captain and you'll be the mermaid, who take me down." the boy said. It was a sunny day and the wind was blowing in his black hair. Laura had to laugh and said: "Isn't it the pirate job to catch a mermaid? Not the other way around?" "Aye it is, but you are a clever mermaid, so I'll need a plan to catch you. That's why you need to catch me." the boy said with a big smile on his face. They both laughed and worked on the sand ship. Their parents watch them play. "Just look at them how happy they are. It's a pity he has to move back to Ireland with us." his mother said. "We have to go, but we will be in touch." his dad said after he looked at his watch. The parents said farewell and called their children. Laura and the boy went to their parents. Together they went home and helped the family with packing. "Will you be back?" Laura asked her friend. "Don't worry, I'll come back." he gave her a hug. They drove to the airport and said their goodbye's. When Laura sees her best friend boarding, she runs towards him and gave him a hug and cried: "Please don't go!" He let her go and run toward his parents with tears in his eyes. "Don't go! Ki-...!" before she could finish, he was already on the plane.
Laura felt a tear on her face and more to follow. She swipes them away and put the photo back on her desk. She looked at her phone and went downstairs. Her father was getting ready for work, when he saw her. "Morning daughter, are you alright?" "I'm fine. Today is the day right? You'll be gone the whole week." Jamie walks towards her and swipe a remaining tear of her cheek. "Yeah, today is the day. Don't worry I'll be back before you know it. You don't have to cry, darling." Laura put on a smile and give him a hug. "I miss my best friend, that's all." Jamie put his hand on her head. "Maybe he still lives on the same address, so call him." "I already did dad. No one picked up." "Don't worry, I'll look for you." He gives her a kiss on her forehead. "Thanks dad." Then he went to work. Laura packed her stuff and went to her aunt.
Jack was somewhere making snow, when he went back to the north pole. "You're back! Just in time to help Yeti's with presents. Da?" Jack laughed. "Not now North. Too busy bringing snow everywhere." "Haha, can you help a little? Than you can make snow on Christmas." North says with a big smile. "Alright I'm in." Jack flies to the nearest Yeti and began to help him, all the toys must be painted red. North looked around his workshop, everywhere Yeti's making toys and Jack helps them. Some elves also try to make some toys, but that fails completely. "Haha those elves really know how to make you laugh." says a voice suddenly. North turned around and sees the big Easter Bunny. "Bunny! What brings you here? Come to help?" "I see frostbite is already helping you out. So no need for me, mate. I was just checking in, because Tooth had a little problem."
Just when North wanted to ask about the problem, Jack appeared. "Tomorrow I'll be back for more. Have to go and make some snow in countries. Bye North, Kangaroo." and he flies away. "Really? He still calls me that?" North chuckles and put a hand on Bunny's shoulder and walked away to have an update on the presents. Bunny hops after him, to tell Tooth's problem. Jack was now past Iceland when he stops. A little fairy came out chirping. "Hey Baby Tooth, aren't you suppose to be with Tooth?" She shakes her head and pointed at him. "You want to go with me?" She nods. "Alright let's go freeze some countries." He flies further to make a lot of snow.
"Girls let's go, before the shops are closed." Sophie called to her niece and daughter. Laura and Kate were running down the stairs. They put quickly their shoes on and sits in the car. "Let's go find that perfect dress." After a while they entered the mall and went to every clothes shop. Still no success. Laura sits on a bench. "It's no use, we will never find a dress." She puts her head on her hands. Just when Laura wanted to give up, something or rather someone caught her eye. It was a man, probably same age as her of even older. She could see him standing in front of a shop. He had short black hair and wears a leather black jacket and jeans. Then he walked away, without realizing it she followed him.
Glad to have large flower pots standing everywhere, so she could hide behind it every time he turned around, but thanks to that she couldn't see his face. Maybe if she was faster she could get a glimpse of his face, but every time she looked behind the flower pots he was already moving again. Why would he look back, like he knew someone followed him. Laura was getting closer and closer to the man. Suddenly he acts suspicious. He was moving left then right, right again then left, right, right, left, left, right and then left, until he stops. Laura thinks quickly and went to sit on a bench, took her phone out her pocket and put the camera button on, so she could still see him.
He was still standing in front of a large door, which had all kind of symbols on it. The door opened and the man went in. Laura waited for ten minutes before she went to the door. She took a photo of it, in case she needed it. The door opened and she went inside. She couldn't believe her eyes, this was an ordinary shop and they sell everything you could think of. She looked everywhere but the man was nowhere to be found. She give up and looked around, this time for the stuff they sell here. Then she sees something in the left corner of her eye. Not knowing the man is watching her from a distance, she walked toward the clothes section of the shop. She stops and sees the most beautiful dress she ever seen. "That's the one."
