First two pages of "A Love Song"
Dear Mommy,
My name is Gwendolyn Haida. I'm 15 and I'm in high school –
"Hey Gwyn my pencil just broke, can I borrow one of yours?"
Gwyn looked up from her notebook brushing her bangs out of her eyes. Mokuba sat next to her holding up a broken pencil for her to see. A apologize smile on his face. Gwyn tried hard not to laugh as she dug around her desk for another pencil.
"Here"
"Thanks I owe you one." Mokuba said winking at her. Gwyn could feel her cheeks warming up, biting her lip she forced herself to look down at her notebook wishing she could think of something witty to say back to Mokuba. Of course nothing came out, sometimes she wondered if she was even related to her sisters Emi and Mir.
"Mr. Kaiba I do believe I said we were quietly going to write in our journals." Their teacher stood sternly in the front of the classroom, arms folded glaring at the young boy. Mokuba winced rubbing the back of his head.
"Woops, my bad"
Several girls behind him giggled. Gwyn went back to her writing.
Our English/Creative writing teacher said to pick someone and write to that person each day. Basically we're supposed to write whatever comes to mind. It's supposed to help us express ourselves. I'm not very good at this creative stuff but I'm sure it'll be fun. Our teacher said we weren't going to read them out loud so we can put anything we want in them. As long as we treat it if you were talking to someone everyday. Well I'm bad at talking to people but I thought since I've never really got to know you I'd write to you.
Gwyn glanced over at Mokuba who was scribbling quickly in his notebook. A girl behind him tapped him on the back. When he turned around she just went back to writing giggling. Mokuba shrugged and went back to work.
Mokuba is my best friend, along with Chiro and Cam, of course, but I only see them at drama while I see Mokuba every day. About a year or so ago Sissy talked Seto into having Mokuba go to school instead of having him be tutored. I sometimes think that Seto will do anything sissy asks. But, as I'm sure you know, Sissy won't as for just anything. She hates people doing things for her. Mir says it's annoying but I think it might be a good thing, it keeps Seto on his toes. Kind of like Bakura keeps Mir on her toes.
At this Gwyn paused to laugh. Even with her blindness Mir still got as flustered as ever around Ryou. Noticing her laughing, Mokuba, who was having a hard time focusing, leaned over trying to see what she was writing. Quickly Gwyn covered her notebook with her arm shaking her head. Mokuba stuck his tongue at her. Gwyn giggled again as she went back to writing.
Mir has been going to this doctor every week and they are going to operate on her eyes soon. She seems pretty calm about the whole thing, for being blind and all. I know you're watching over us from heaven, but please keep an extra eye on Mir, she needs it. In fact you can take all your attention from me onto her since nothing ever happens to me.
The girl next to Mokuba leaned over whispering to him. Gwyn glanced up for a moment as the girl put her hand on Mokuba's. The young boy slowly pulled his hand away saying something that made the girl laugh. Gwyn felt her stomach knot up. Biting her lip she forcing herself to go back to her notebook.
Well nothing that bad anyway. Right now I have been good and busy. My first play was a hit, we even got asked to perform it in one of the major theaters. Lots of rich people came and I even got asked for be in one of their plays! I'm not sure if I will since I like our group but, maybe the group of us can do it together. Cam's mom was saying something about that so it might be fun. Who knows.
RING! Gwen almost jumped when the bell went off. Next to her Mokuba laughed. "Hey, want to study at my place? We could order pizza and bread sticks." Gwyn nodded excitedly getting up and gathering her books shoving them into her large school bag. After she had shouldered the heavy bag she turned to fallow after Mokuba – who was already half way to the door. She hadn't taken more than a few steps before she tripped. Behind her she heard one of the girls snickered, "What's the matter princess? Your gracefulness fail you?" Gwyn stood up and –once again- shouldered her bag not even bothering to look back. When she met Mokuba the black haired boy's smile faded slightly at the sight of Gwyn's red face.
"Something wrong?"
Gwyn nodded her head making herself smile, "I'm really hungry."
"OH ME TO! Let's go!" Reaching out to take her hand Mokuba lead her out to his limo.
