MY STORY
Chapter 4
Restaurant of Popularity
Galinda
"Ah… So this little Miss. Popular?" And old man said. He had gray hair, a wrinkly face, and dark sunglasses. I hesitated behind my mom as he motioned me forward, "Aw, she's a cutie!" He tossed around my curls and adjusted my bow.
"Isn't she?" my mother beamed.
"What's your name sweetheart?" He asked.
"Galinda," I said in an extra sweet voice.
"Glinda."
"No, Ga-linda," I corrected him.
"Okay, Ga-linda," He said," Your very photogenic, are you not?"
"I am."
"Do you like Horses?"
"Umm…," I looked at my mom for an answer. She nodded. I turned back to him," Yes. Yes, I do"
"Would you like to pose with one for out advertisement on one?"
"What would the advertisement be?" My mother asked.
"Excellent question, it's for our new cowgirl boots!"
"Oh! Doesn't that sound great sweetie?"
"Yes," I nodded.
"Then it's settled! I will call you with the details and we will make Galinda a star!" He clapped his hands and walked out the door. A young lady followed him out. She had long eyelashes that shaded her big black looking eyes. Her long black hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. And her dark purple top and black pants allowed her to practically blend in to the dark night sky.
"Momma, who was that." I asked pointing after her.
"Don't point sweetie. Come on lets get a table and have some dinner."
"But momma!"
"Galinda, don't talk back to your mother. Now, look. There is some of your friends." My father said pointing to the group of children at a table. They heard him andd turned to see her.
"GALINDA!" they shouted and began to surround her. She smiled.
"Galinda wont you sit with us?" I boy shouted.
"Oh Galinda! Do you want to stay the night with me this weekend?" A girl she barley knew asked.
Many shouts came from all around.
"Everyone. Everyone! Please! I am truly sorry but I must eat with my parents tonight," I said. My parents nodded," My apologies but I will see you all at school tomorrow." I decided not to add that tomorrow might be the last time for some while.
"Okay. See you Galinda!" they shouted in unison. As the children left a few murmured how they couldn't wait for tomorrow. This made me smile.
"Handled like a pro!" my mother congratulated me as we sat down at our table.
"They really love you Galinda-poo," My dad said calling me by my nickname.
I smiled and opened up the menu.
"Get anything you want, dear!" My mother said patting my head. It feels good to be a Princesses.
