My talent by Jordan Brunswick (phonics story books TXT) 📕

I was standing under her window, I wanted to tell her something but she was probably asleep. I started to climb up the side of her house towards her window, when I got there I was surprised that the window was slightly ajar, with one hand hanging onto the window sill and with the other I opened the window a bit, just enough so I could just slip in then out again. I slipped through the window and with a soft thud I landed on Emily’s bed room floor, I could hear her breathing softly, she looked so cute just laying there, Stop it, I focused on writing the letter and then leaving. I knelt down onto the floor, rested the paper on the floor and started to write only stopping when I looked up keeping an eye on Emily as I wrote. When I finished I followed the paper up neatly and carefully placed it on Emily’s bedside table. I don’t know what happened next but when I looked up at Emily just sleeping there I just couldn’t help thinking… so I decided that I should stay until morning.

I woke up next to Emily in her bed, she was hugging me and she had a smile on her face, she still looked quite pretty just sleeping there. Then I realized it was morning, so I slipped out of her grip and slid to my feet, I got my bag  and slung it over my right shoulder, lent down and kissed her on the lips, she smiled after, I climbed out of the window, I closed the window to how it was before I had widened it for me to slip in, when I reached the ground I sprinted away from the house, once I had reached the road I casually started to walk down the road, this is where I meet Emily’s parents, they were coming back from town, the stopped their horses and looked at me.

“What are you doing Thomas”? Todd asked me

“Me… oh, I’m just out on my daily morning walk” I said quietly

Emily’s mum gave me a small smile, and they rode off, towards their house, as I walked towards mine. That was effing awesome! I thought to myself.

I woke up and… I felt a moist sensation on my lips, I put a finger to my lips and they felt wet. I quickly rushed to the window and saw someone running away from the house. I turned and  scanned my room and saw a small little piece of paper it read: 

Hello, I can’t tell you this in person because it would be to embarrassing, anyway… I kinda like you, more then a friend, I’ve liked you since kindergarten, sorry for last night I just had to get this letter to you.

So as you must of guessed I’m a bit shy but love you all the same, if you don’t feel the same way I don’t mind but if you do I live just down the street from you, this might sound a bit creepy but I watch you walk home every day. So that’s how I know where you live and the fact that my aunt is on the council, she has been missing for some while and her name is Allison, I don’t think she likes me a lot, anyway I’m kinda bad at this, so I will hopefully see you soon or not.

Ps: I would love it very much if you wrote to me and left it in my  house somewhere.

love from: Thomas

He had neat handwriting that was for sure, but replying that was going to be tricky, So I decided to lay back down and clear my head, the bed was warm from a minute ago from me sleeping in it, So warm, but I swear that he slept with me, that’s probably why it’s so warm and that must explain the fact that he said sorry but then again did I hug him? and if I did did I like it, so many questions but no answers… maybe I did and if I did why didn’t I know,  maybe if I draw it might help… my thoughts were interrupted by mum opening the door to see if I was awake, which I was but she spotted that I was even without walking over to my bed.

“Good morning, why are you up so early”? she asked gently

“No reason,  just excited for today” I replied, which was a complete lie

“Cool, get up, get dressed, brush your teeth and I’ll meet you downstairs”

“I have so do I just go down stairs then”? I asked as I got up, this wasn't a lie because I had done all of that

“Ok then lets go” she said kinda stupid that I had already done all of that

So we walked out of my room and down the stairs and out into the dining room which was also the kitchen, then I spotted Ben and dad talking in the living room I curiously watched them talk from the kitchen as they talked until they saw mum and me in the kitchen and they both walked out of the living room and into kitchen where we were standing, I was still watching Ben because he kinda looked uncomfortable just standing in the middle of the kitchen.

“Good morning Viola” Dad said happily mum smiled back

“Your up”?! he said to me kinda surprised to see me up so early

I was still eyeing Ben when he said that “What” I said not paying any attention “Oh… yep I’m up” I added as I looked away and then surprisingly ben knew why, but instead of talking he beckoned me up the stairs without any acknowledgment from my parents, once we were in my room he shut the door and looked at me expecting I was going to talk so I did.

“What, you know I got up early and you want me to talk, aren't you supposed to ask me questions”? I said softly but kindly too

He nodded, “Well”? I said not realizing what was happening outside

He sighed and said “I know you're puzzled, but that’s all I know apart from you got up early and you started to think a lot about the boy ‘Thomas’” he said

“That doesn’t concern you and the reason why I got up early is know one's business” I said because I knew that my parents were listening.

“Oh… But I know why and if you want…”

I cut him off, I knew what he was going to say next “No, thanks I’m fine and anyway it’s all sorted”

“No, it’s not you haven’t done anything yet”

“But I will soon, I was thinking I would do it after breakfast”

“I could come with you and…”

“No” I cut him off

“Are you…”

“Yes” I cut him off again

He sighed again and spoke gently “Fine”

I was shocked he never gave up this easily, I knew he was going to follow me and see what I was up to. We sat there for a bit and finally he walked out if my room and left me sitting there on my bed, alone. I walked out a little while latter to see dad trying to reassure Ben.  Oh no, did I hurt his feelings if I did I need to a bit more kind and maybe I need to read his noise or is that wrong? I thought a little ashamed of myself. So I sat down on the stairs and took out a piece of paper I had to one for the letter and the other for something like this. I started to draw unaware of what I was doing, after I had finished I looked at it and I thought something unkind, folded it up, stood up, walked past mum dad, stood in front of Ben I shoved the piece of paper in his hand and walked out of the house pausing at the door, then I left.    

I ran, I ran and ran, until I saw someone walking out front of a house she was looking at me weirdly, probably because I was bent over trying to catch my breath from running out the door of my house, and girls don’t usually run in the Haven.

“Are you ok” said the woman kindly

“Ah yeah, do you know a boy named Thomas around here”? I asked

She smiled and said “Yes, he’s in the house, I’m guessing your Emily, he talks a lot about you, but he’s asleep right now”

“I need to leave something in his room, if that’s ok”?

“Yes it’s ok, come in and I’ll show you where it is”

I smiled, she must be Thomas’s mother I thought, I thought the fact that she let me in her house when Thomas was sleeping weird, even stranger then that was Thomas’s bedroom. We had reached a door which was Thomas’s bedroom I think, she opened the door and pushed it open, then she gave me a light push into his room, so I walked forwards into the room. It was dark so I couldn’t see very well, but what I did make out was the Thomas wasn’t like James, he had a neat and tidy room, sort of like mine, but he’s room was a bit weird, he had a small desk in the corner like me, he also had a bedside table like me, but he had notch in the wall, I bet that lead to a secret hideout, every boy had them. I had reached his bedside table, I took out the letter that I had written before and place it next to a photo frame on the bedside table, I did look at the photo frame but I couldn’t see it properly, I turned and walked out of the room, Thomas’s mother shut it softly behind me, she ushered me out the front door. I wished her a good day and walked off before she could say anything, I was halfway home when I saw James coming from the
