Helena March was sitting on a kitchen chair, chugging down her orange juice and piling her fruit loops into her mouth.
"Helena!" Missus March snapped,
Helena began to eat more slower. Mister March walked down the oak
stairs of the March's 4 bedroom flat, and walked to the front door,
bent down and got the mail.
"Bill, junk, bill, bill, chain...
Huh," He said sorting the mail "Helena you have a letter!" He
shouted from the hall.
"I do? Coming!" She yelled back,
running into the hall.
OoF!
Helena slid on the hardwood floor of the hallway and collided into her father, making the mail fly everywhere.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" She said,
concerned, and began picking up mail.
"Its alright," Mister
March said with a chuckle, bending down to help pick up mail.
Minutes later, father and daughter
walked into the living room and placed the mail on a wooden end
table. Helena picked up the mail and searched frantically for her
letter.
She quickly fumbled with it and opened it, getting a paper
cut. "Owwie!" She yelled and put her finger in her mouth.
After she had made the boo boo better, she read her letter. As she grinned she raced into the kitchen to reply.
"Heleennaa!" Her mother called to
her "Clean up your plate!"
Helena went to open her mouth to
argue but closed it. She got up from her chair, took the plate, and
put it in the dishwasher grinning, Good ole dishwasher. She
thought happily, patting it, then walked to her seat, hopped on it
and began to write;
Dear
Courtney,
I just received your letter, I think its really neat
that you were brought up in a rich family, I'm guessing your family
has a giant house!. I am also 10, turning 11 soon! Funny eh? I
actually thought you were older but oh well... I guess I should say I
was brought up in an okay family, we love each other dearly and
that's what really matters, but I live in a 4 bedroom house, except
we converted one bedroom into a spare bedroom and one into a den.
The
phone is for me so, I have to go, Bye!.
Sincerely,
Helena
March.
( Hope you like it, Once again I love my beta reader!)
(Satanira- Yay! I'm loved!)De
