Writing Short Story

Love Conquers All
“Oh my God, it feels like nothing is in my brain. Can I really give the letter to him?” Luna thinks and standing in front of her school, waiting for someone. People are staring at her because she’s holding a letter with a red heart on it. She dresses in a bluish – black skirt and a white shirt with a thin red ribbon nicely fit in to her neck and a school jacket covering over her shirt. She has been standing here freezing for almost 10 minutes. Winter is coming soon, so the weather is making her lips drier. Here he comes, his name is Helios and he has an IQ of 200. He wears a school shirt and a red tie with a school jacket, dressing nicely as always. She gives the letter to him and he takes the letter and walks by. Not a single word comes out of his mouth.
Later, a voice comes out from somewhere. “Who is Luna?” He comes in the cafeteria and says out loudly. He walks towards her and hands her a letter and asks, “Are you Luna?” She nods her head slowly and opens the letter out and realizes that it is her own love letter. The letter is now covering with grammar and spelling mistakes in red pen with a big letter D-. Her mouth goes wide open, but she has nothing to say. He walks away and says “I hate stupid girls.” That sentence keeps staying in her mind.
She has to move out of her house because her father needs the money to open a small restaurant, so they’re homeless. Luckily, her dad’s friend helps him by asking them to stay at their house for a while, but guess what, readers? She is staying at Helios’s house!!! Her eyes and mouth are wide open and there’s only one word on her face; SHOCKED! Helios’s family even knows that she likes him and his mom totally loves it. Luna goes to her room with his mom and she is really surprised. The room is mostly pink with a small bed in it. Her big smile makes his mom feels happy. After she left for a second, Luna keeps jumping on her bed and can’t sleep that night; she can’t believe that she’s in the same house with Helios. But, Helios says he doesn’t like stupid girls like her and he looks even colder that before. He says he doesn’t want her to tell anyone that they’re living together. Last night, his mom gives her a picture of him making a silly cute face, and she shows him that picture. “So do you want me to show this to the whole school?” she says teasingly
“Hey, where did you get that?” he shouts in anger
“I got it from your mother, do you want this picture? Then try to get it,” she runs around after she said it. He chases with her and by the window, her friends, and the other students are getting more jealous.
“Got ya! Give the picture back to me!” Helios says and breathing hardly.
“Fine! Anyway, I got the film, so I can print out more,” she says in a cool voice.
            “What do you want from me?” he asks after a while thinking.
            “I want you to tutor me, you’re the smartest person in this school and you’re in Class A, who has an IQ of 200,” she says
            “You’re in Class F, how can you get into the top 50 if you’re that stupid?”
            “Hey, why do you have to be that rude? Do you want me to give every single person one of the pictures?” she says in anger. But, he finally except to tutor her. He can’t believe how stupid she is. Day by day, they both getting sleepier and sleepier and more tired, but she still tries her best to get on the top 50. The test day comes, she can’t sit normally, and keeps on studying, the nervous makes her forget what she has studied. “Good Luck!” that is the last word he says to her after he goes into his class. He doesn’t know that these 2 words can make her feel more confident. Finally, the result comes; they can’t believe that she gets in the number 50 of the top 50. She hands him the film of his silly picture and thanks him for helping her. She takes the lucky charm from his mom out. It makes everyone scream out loud. It is the picture of him and her sleeping on the desk while studying.  He runs to her class and pulls her out.
            “Why did you show them the picture?” he says angrily. “I didn’t say anything; your mom took the picture and gave it to me. When I open it …”
            “Why did you have to open it in the class?” he cuts her line out.
            “I didn’t know anything!” she yells. They didn’t talk to each other until they both graduate high school. The picture fades out from people’s mind really fast. The last day of the year comes, he realizes that it’s time to make up with her, because she didn’t do anything wrong, so he takes her out.
            “Why are you pulling me? I said I don’t like you anymore. I’m trying to forget you,” she says with some tears come out from her eyes.
“Are you trying to forget me? Then try to forget this,” he kisses her right after he finishes his words. Her eyes goes wide open like she always does when she gets shocked. Her mind goes empty, until he sticks his tongue and walks away. She sits down on the floor right after he left; her head is now full of questions. Is this kiss a joke or something? Why did he kiss me? Why can’t I forget him? Why did he say that don’t forget the kiss? Questions keep coming out of her mind and it makes her dizzy. She can’t sleep that night and keeps laughing and smiling.
The next day, Helios’s mom gives her two tickets for her and Luna to see a famous play. When Luna gets there, says she can’t come and let Helios come. She is surprised by him, but he tells her to focus watching the play. The play finally ends, they go out and he buys two teddy bears for them. The teddy bears dressing as a bride and a groom, it makes her heart melt. He finally confesses that he falls for her and hugs her. He realizes that he doesn’t hate stupid girls and love has conquered him. They start dating for real and hope their relationship can stay still.

Writing Focus

I had many friendships, but I finally found my real friend. She's in AIS, but we don't study together. The first interest thing I knew about her was that she has the same birthday with me. I've never had a friend who has the same birthday.She's really nice and funny. She jokes around a lot and has many interest things and thoughts that are the same with me. Later on, we became best friends, even though there were conflicts, but we made up after all. We even become closer now and I hope we can keep this friendship even better.

Final Draft

I Need a Confession


               "Congratulations! You're having a new baby!," my mom's friends said happily. It happened when I'm 7 years old; my mom celebrated a party, because she's having a new baby. I was exciting and jumping around, I can't believe I'm having a little sister. My stomach felt empty so I went to eat some food, so I found a really high chair.

               I sat on the chair comfortably; I was standing for hours so it felt good. I was eating some soup, suddenly my mom's friends came toward me and they were holding a big gift. I was so excited for the gift and wondering what was in there, I suddenly jumped off the chair.

              "Ahhhhhhh!!!," I screamed loudly, it was the loudest scream I've ever scream. It was so hurt and it felt like I fell from a really high cliff. I remembered I cried a lot. My dad brought me to the hospital and he forced me to drink something. After that, I got in a deep sleep. When I woke up, I was in the hospital and my chin hurt a lot more. My mom was sitting there with her face down.

“Where am I, mom?” I asked my mom curiously.

“You’re in the hospital. I was so scared. I thought something is going to happen to you.” she said worriedly.

                I guessed my mom was really worried, I felt sorry for her. I saw some tears were left on her eyes. The doctors said I already had 3 stitches in my chin and it won’t hurt a lot, so I felt more comfortable. Luckily, there are only 3 stitches, but I felt that hurt. What if I have more than that, I didn’t know how much it hurt.

                A week later, I saw my mom was sitting alone. Her face was sad than ever. She looked like she got sick.

I came toward her and asked,” Mom, why do you look so sad?”

She said calmly, “I’m fine, sweetie. You don’t have to worry about me.”

              Her answer made me worrier, but my cousin came over and told me to play with her. Later, I went to play with her and forgot about it, but somehow it was still in my head. I came home and heard my parents were talking about something. They said that my mom was miscarried our new baby. I was shocked and standing there freezing. I felt sorry more than ever and I thought I won’t have a little sister again. I couldn’t sleep that night and thought to myself that is there a reason behind this? I tried to let it go, but then I felt my chin hurt a little. Suddenly, I thought my chin was the reason that my mom lost the baby. I felt some tears were falling from my face. I tried to forget it and wished that it wasn’t the reason and it was all a dream.

              I woke up in the morning and it felt like nothing happened. Everyone was normal and they even gave me the best of their smiles. My mom also gave me her bright smile but after I walked by her bright smile was gone. I knew that they were pretending and of course it must be sad, because we all lost a family member. I wanted to cry again and I’m not sure am I the reason that make my mom miscarried the baby? Did she worry too much for me and forget the baby? Those questions just came out in my head. My mom didn’t want to answer those questions, so they keep being in my head for 5 years. Sometimes, I still ask myself about that thing, I tried to think deeply but it doesn't help. Why can’t my mom just tell me the truth, then I would be more comfortable and forget about it, so I can have a wonderful life? I wanted her to tell the truth, but when I brought the story up; her smile won’t be there again, so I tried not to talk about it. But, it left a mystery in my head and my heart for a long period of time.
             Anyway, my mom gave births to my 2 other sisters after that story happened, so I'm really happy about it. Sometimes, I think my little sisters are awesome; they always helped me and really nice to me. I guess I have to love them more than I am now and forget about that sad story. I kept it in my head so long, so I think it's time to let it go. I think that’s how life works and I just have to accept it and be patient. I shouldn’t think much about it. People may come to you and also leave you and that’s life. You can’t predict anything that happens to you. I guess that’s my moral for this story.
