A small tear relieves a great sorrow by Sydnie Short (list of ebook readers .TXT) 📕

kiss but only on the cheek. Elly left early around 6 am saying it was a family emergency.
 The date is at 12 pm. I looked at the clock and said " 11:05 am" I jumped out of my comfy bed and ran to the bathroom and freshened up.

When I walked back to my room it was 11:45. He said he would pick me up 11:50. So I hurried up putting my last sneaker on.


'Ding Dong'


"I got it,” my mom shouted. 'OH no' I thought to myself. Mom is going to embarrass me. With that thought I ran down the stairs. Only causing me to fall down them and landing on my butt.

For a moment it was silent then everyone bursts out laughing including Elliot. 'Does he even know what’s funny' I thought to myself. That's when my faced boiled. I stood on my feet and walked to the door like nothing happened.


"Hello" Timothy greeted me.


“Hello-skies" I replied waving.


" That was an interesting falls" He said trying to be serious but I could tell he was hiding a laugh.

" Are you o-” he paused probably realizing that I don't want to go through the 'Are you ok' bit.


" Bye mom” I said


" Oh honey don't forget I love you with all my butt"


" Your still on that butt thing mom?"


"I'll stop it but I know you can't keep it off your mind." she said winking at me.


" Yeah because its so big" I murmured.


" I heard that, bye" mom said as I was leaving making sure I closed the door behind me. Timothy opened the door for me. I got in waiting for him to come in and start the engine. 
I didn't want to ask where we were going because I like surprises. It’s been about ten minuets since we left the house and there was no conversation.


"Aren't you going to ask where we are going"


" Nope " I said popping the 'p'


" Why not?"


" Because life is full of surprises I might as well let it wow me" I said casually


" You sound like Dr. Phil or Oprah "


" I'm going to take that as a compliment, Thanks"


"Your welcome" he said with a grin. " So, tell me about yourself"


"Get ready put your swim suit on because were about go deep." I said smiling
.

" That’s what she said" Timothy said winking at me.


"Ewe ya nasty! Any way" I started to continue" In all my life I try to figure out myself. I still am. I try to put pieces of myself together but there's always a piece missing and everyday on the path of life I find them piece by piece and the day I found all of them is the day I die. What I'm saying is that it’s harder to explain who you are than to find who you are"

 
" Yeah your defiantly Dr. Phil. I'm going to call you Phil, Kay?"


" okay " was all I replied.

 


" Were here" Timothy said happily
. I look at the building confused.

" A cafe? Do you realize there was a cafe two blocks away from my house?"


"Well this ones special. Tonight is poetry night"


" Oh that seems pretty amasome"


" Amasome?"


"Yeah a mixture of awesome and amazing"


"Lets just stick to what’s in the dictionary"


"No" I said sticking my tongue out him. He rolled his eyes. 
As we walked in the cafe I noticed a sign that said " A wonderful delight's poetry night" The place was small but not cramped. We sat down and a waitress came to take our orders. I ordered a Mocha Frappe and Timothy ordered a regular coffee.

I was just staring at the wall blankly until I heard snapping. I didn't realize our orders were all ready here.


"Is there anyone out there who has a poem?" A lady asked. She looked like the manager because her uniform is different from the rest of the staff.


"Yes! Madison Gate does!" Timothy shouted pointing at me. That’s not even my last name.

" Then come up here Madison." The lady said. I walked up on stage adjusting the microphone to the right height.

" Uhm. I'm the type of person who likes to be free. I want friends who are just like me. Perfect is not who I am I'm the type of person I say I am. I'm the type of person who likes being mild. I'm the type of person who to give smiles. Who says I can't sing free. Well I'm just glad I'm just being me"

I heard snaps and whistling. I could tell it was Timothy so I smiled at him and walked off stage to my seat.
" That was great" Timothy saidI shrugged 
" Thanks it was a classic poem I wrote,” I said like it was nothing.


" Do want to go now"


" Sure." He paid for are drinks and then we left.

 

 

Chapter 4 Goodbye good friend

Chapter 4



The sun was shining on my face causing me to open my eyes. I groaned and cover my face with my soft pillow. I looked over at the clock squinting my eyes. It was 7:07. I smiled at myself because 7:07 upside down is 'LOL' in a way. It doesn't usually take me long to get ready for school but Elly told me to continue to dress the way I did this weekend. I don't really dress like that i usually were baggy clothes and no make up.


I walked down the hall to the bathroom inhaling a sweet aroma. I decided to follow my nose, which led me to the kitchen. There I saw 8 dozens of Cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate chip waffles!

" Stop drooling " my mom said causing me to snap out of my gaze. I looked down at myself and I really was drooling. I wiped the drool from my mouth and attempted to pick up a cookie.

‘ Slap'

 I rubbed my hand in the area where my mom hit my hand.


" I don't need you dogging on my food. Its bad enough you were drooling over it like a faucet" my mom said in a serious but parental tone.


" But its my favorite" I said in my whiny voice.


" Don’t have a cow.” My mom said as I rolled my eyes. Don't you have to get ready for school?" mom asked raising an eyebrow.


" I was on my way to the bathroom then I smelt Charlie and the chocolate factory's workshop. So I had to check it out." I said as I was raising my hands in the air as if was to surreneder.


"You'll do anything for food. What if a stranger told you he had food in his truck, would you go with him"


"Dah ma. Its called the ice cream truck or a food truck." she rolled her eyes at my comment." It seems you don't know me that well. It has to be free food."


" Now I realize its a good idea to put tracking devices in your children."


" Whatever mom. I got to go get dressed." I told her as I walked to the bathroom. 
After I finished freshening up, I looked in the mirror approving how I looked. I have to say I looked better than how I looked last Friday night. I was wearing a red long sleeved shirt with a sleeveless jean jacket. It went well with my ripped skinny jeans that made legs look longer than they already are. I had my red snap back on and red Nike's on. I also threw on some accessories.


I made my way down the stairs. I said my goodbyes to my parents and started to walk to school. When I arrived at school I was greeted by Elly but something seemed to be wrong.

'' Is everything okay Elly?'' I asked in a sincere tone.


''Honestly no'' she paused '' I'm transferring to a new school and I am starting tomorrow.

'' That was it, the sentence that changed my life forever. I stood there in shock. I blinked once but I think that was it.

'' Come on we have to go to class'' I noticed she had her hair up in a high pony revealing her heart shaped birthmark on the back of her neck.
 I always thought it was pretty cool. We walked into homeroom and sat next to each other.

'' We have to make your time here special.''

We decided to skip school and go to the park. It was easy to skip school. Nobody was around to stop us.

On the walk to the park we saw an ice cream truck. I wanted ice cream so we walked over to the truck. I ordered two vanilla ice creams and we continued to walk to the park in silence.

We finally arrived at the park. 
“So, why are you switching schools?'' I asked breaking the silence. We were now swinging on the swings back and forth.


''I don't know my parents just said they got a job offer somewhere.'' she said looking at her shoes. Then she looked up at me.

'' How was your date with Timothy?'' she asked raising both of her eyebrows. I told her about the date as soon as I got home. She was easy to talk to most of the time.


 “It was okay I guess.''


“Oh”

 

''Mom I'm home'' I yelled as I entered my house. Elly couldn't come home with me because she had to leave to pack her things. I found my mom in the kitchen with Elliot on her lap eating cheerios one by one.
 I dragged my feet over to them and plopped on the chair. I sighed deeply as frowned down at the ground.

''What's the matter honey?'' my mom asked
. I closed my eyes then answered

''Elly has to transfer schools''

''Oh my gosh!'' my mom said like she was in a sop opera. She really knows how to reply in these situations.


''I know right and now I am going to be alone again at school.''


'' I heard there is a new student transferring to your school, maybe you and her can become friends''


 “Yeah I hope your right.’’

I closed my locker and turned around to go to class. I started to walk and before I realized, I was on the floor. I thought I was just being clumsy but I then it came to mind I was tripped.

I looked up only to see a stunning girl in front of me. She had red hair that went up to her back. She had long tan legs that went well with her hazel eyes. Then I saw Vergina standing behind the girl I never seen before. Vergina and the girl started to laugh at me.


''Let's go Molly, what a joke'' Vergina told the girl. I realized that was the new student. My mom could’ve more wrong.

There is a new bitch in town and her name is Molly.
