A closed kiss

The popular kids have gone into exile they have become quite as no one to pick on my revenge has made everyone stand for themselves well I still have other competitors for prom queen but they don't stand a chance.

lately, I and Ralph have drifted apart from each other as he spent most of his time with Cassandra but I was surprised when he asked to see me at our regular spot which is now their regular spot by the lakeside I just sent him a thumbs up as a reply.

it was a Friday so school dismiss earlier than on other days. I got home, and to be honest I was kinda off happy to meet Ralph it felt like forever. I dressed up in my favorite blue shirt and a pair of shorts, leaving the house for the lake I got there and met Ralph sitting on his own when he saw me he stood up and walked towards my direction he smiled and held my hand walking together to the lake I felt so happy, everything seems so perfect today: no Cruella no mum shouting and here I am with Ralph

After the long walk, I decided to break the silent Ralph why did you bring me here he smirk at me and said I just wanted to talk

about what I asked in a rude manner

Sophia calm down I didn't call you here for you to get mad at me, I'm sorry about everything that has been going on... I interrupted what I said

that we are no longer close like before he turn me to face him and I could feel his breath on my face he looks charming no doubt and Cassandra is lucky to have him we were about to kiss when we heard a familiar voice it was Cassandra and she cut us in the that position

she ran off and Ralph ran after her

oh my god, I will now be the third wheel what I was avoiding has finally come, me being the reason for their break up.

I decided to go back home to avoid further do.

I got an invitation to come to one of Mrs. Bronte's book premieres I was so excited so am going to meet famous author, I have had this dream to be a writer but has things has it I can't because am the only child and I have to go for the business line. this is going to be fun and the best part of this invitation is that I get to come as Mrs. Bronte plus 1i jumped around my room like a happy puppy.

I went to the Bronte mansion to let Mrs. Bronte know that I have received her invitation I got into the house and she asked me to join her for lunch she told me about the book reviews and I told her about my dream she wanted to help me but I said no. she told me she has a surprise for me which I can't wait to see but she told me to wait till the day of book reviews. after the fabulous meal I went home that was when I ran into Cassandra who was crying outside Ralph's house I went to meet her after raining insults on me she told me that Ralph admitted to her that he has feelings for me I wasn't surprised I felt kinda off happy but sad because Cassandra is also my friend and it was not fair

Sophia, she said cleaning her eyes I want to break up with Ralph. did she just say break up so they haven't even broken up and she is crying like this when they break up what will happen then?

I continue consoling her I decided to ask why do you want to break up with him

she sob he said that he loves me and also loves you and that he is going to try to kill the feeling he has for you so our relationship can work

aren't you happy about that I asked again

Sophia I know that it going to be impossible for him to kill his feelings for you, you are a beautiful girl and every guy will love to have you so I have made up my mind to leave Ralph for you

my heart was jumping for joy but my brain was a little confused I helped her up and took her home.

The next day was Saturday so I slept like never before I didn't want to wake up until I heard my name it was a dad that was calling immediately I heard ice cream I ran downstairs without brushing I got there and dad said there is no ice cream he just wanted me to wake up I was about going back to bed when dad told me it was 4:00 pm so indirectly I slept the full day I look at my watch and it was true I went to my room and tidy up. i came to the dinner table to observe breakfast at 4:00pm that when I remember that aunt jeal asked me to met her at the pack by 5:00pm and it was already 4:30pm I rushed the food and asked for the driver to take me to the pack before mum and dad could asked question I was off to the park when I got there I saw aunt jeal sitting on a chair It look like she haven't changed a bit she loves nature I came toward her and she hugged me tight I can't really express how I felt at that moment it has been really long since she last spoke i sat behind her and we started chasing up on old times I told her about Ralph and she gave me so valuable advice I really did miss her she was always there to give the right advice and that was one thing i loved about her we were discussing when I sited Ralph and Cassandra argue then cassandra left the park angrily Ralph moved around in circle I left aunt jeal there as I went to meet Ralph he was surprised to see me here he was trying to act like everything is normal but that act can't fool me I have known him for so long I dragged him to come meet my Aunt jeal and he greeted like a well trained gentle Man he joined us as we had snacks than aunt jeal brought up an idea for us to go watch a movie we entered the cinema and bought tickets and popcorn I was sitting in the middle of Ralph and aunt jeal the movie we were about to watch was a horror movie as the movie started I clicked onto Ralph and it got to a part that he was also sacred he held each other tight that was when I noticed that aunt jeal has been videoing and snapping us. I tried to collect the phone but she refuse as the movie went deeper Ralph hugged me tight and we were in that same position as yesterday about to kiss then the movie ended Ralph bid us farewell while I and aunt jeal walked around she brought out her phone should me the video telling me that the two of us look cute together she wasn't wrong we did look cute together I just smiled and told her what is meant to be.

The long-awaited day has finally reached the day for the book premier this is huge for Mrs. Bronte her book is going to be a movie I dressed up in a black sequence grown with everything black including my accessories mum didn't like the fact that I was only wearing black but she didn't push it. I told her I wanted to follow Mrs. Bronte since I am her plus 1 and they agree.

The ride to the occasion was quiet as everybody was on their phone I asked Mrs. Bronte that the day has reached and what the surprise? she smiled and replied wait till we get there she noticed that I and Ralph haven't said everything to each other

Ralph she called out are you two fighting

no, we both answer

then why are you people quiet

there is nothing to say that is why I replied to avoid further do.

she didn't ask any more questions.

we got to the venue and paparazzi surrounded the car Mrs. Bronte came down first waving the press they came towards her to inquire about the book I came down next the press drifted towards my side the press came asking me about the incident months ago as I was taught never to answer the wrong questions I just smiled and walked in after some minutes Ralph entered then my parents the event started and it was time to present the book they called Mrs. Bronte and everybody clapped she started talking about the book The Inheritance when she was done they displayed the front of the book and my name written under Mrs. Bronte's name I was shocked and happy then I was called to the stage she whispered to me Sophia this is my surprise I smiled I was asked to sit with Mrs. Bronte as I sign the book as people bought it I was so happy. this is the joy of being a writer.
