The spell (Engelska) |
The spell
- Isn’t he great? Jenny whispered.
- He sure is! Look at him, sitting there, playing his guitar. And his voice… Wow!
- Yeah! And tonight, he is all mine!
Jenny started to giggle like a little eleven year old.
- Wait a minute, what do you mean, he will be all yours?
Sara was so angry, and afraid that Jenny would say something very improper, that she nearly started crying.
And here we go…
- Yes! Don’t you know? Richard and I are dating! Do you remember all those times you told
me to go out and meet people? Well, I’ve met Richard!
The girl’s conversation started intruding the concert. “What does she mean!? Richards is my boyfriend! Typical Jenny, stealing everyone’s boyfriend!”
- I can’t believe this!
- Sorry girl, we were meant to be! she said joyfully.
People was so fascinated by Richard’s performance, that no one even notices Sara running towards the exit with tears in her eyes.
Weeks passed. She wouldn’t eat, and she couldn’t sleep. All she could think about was them. She just didn’t want to know what they were doing right now. The only time she got out of her room, was when it was time for her to go to school. Even there she was difficult to get to. Jenny and she have had many fights before. But she just couldn’t forget this one. Stealing her boyfriend like that… And Richard was the last person she wanted to speak to right now. She walked away every time they tried to speak to her. Not even when her mom came upstairs telling her, Richards on the phone, and that all of this was a mistake, she didn’t want to listen. She stopped going to his concerts, and meeting their common friends. She actually found comfort in her computer. She met new people in the chat rooms. Actually, really nice people, who didn’t complain about how she looked, or how she dressed. It didn’t take long before she was ready to go out and date again. Not meeting Richard or Jenny, but to meet her new friends from the internet. So she did. The first one to know was off course her mother.
- Oh, honey! I’m so glad that you want to go out and meet your friends again! her
mother exclaimed.
You know what? Stay out as long as you wish tonight! Who are you meeting anyway?
- Mom! I said no questions! Now, go! Shoo! She waved her hand like a hint, for her mother to leave her alone.
It seemed she was really happy about Sara dating again. And so was Sara. This guy Mike she had met… Oh my god. She had never seen something like him before. Well, excluding from Richard that is. But this guy was special. His way of speaking to her, and the way he said how wonderful she was. They were meeting for the first time tonight, and he was taking her to a party. She looked stunning. She had put her hair in a ponytail, and her make up was beautifully done. Actually, she was amazed herself. Her clothing, well a bit alluring maybe, but it fitted her so well, that she couldn’t care less! She wore a short, mini, black skirt, and on tope a cute shirt blouse. She just loved how she looked
It was cold outside and the snow flakes were reaching in under her scarf.
- Damn, it’s cold! she exclaimed.
The snow was so thick, that she barely could walk in it, and she almost fell in it several of times. “Maybe I have time to go change to something warmer” she thought to herself.
And just when she was about to go home and change, she saw a car that according to Mikes description, was his, right on their place of meeting. She started to get nervous when the guy stepped out of the car, and started walking in the direction of her. Eventually, he was close enough for her to recognize him. It sure was Mike.
- Sara! He exclaimed with arms wide open.
- Hey you! She tried to be as calm as she could.
He had the most stunning smile. A smile to die for. Without them saying a thing, they stepped into his brand new Mercedes Benz. And he started driving. He was hot! And she had a hard time, trying not to look at him. He seemed to be a well raised guy. He wore at black shirt, with the two first buttons open, light jeans, and some kind of snickers. He had that lay-back-and-enjoy look. And she loved it.
On their way to the unknown party, they hade the chance to speak about each other. What they like to do on their spare time and stuff like that. She liked him more and more each time she found out something new about him. But Richard was still in her thoughts. She saw him in front of her all of the time.
When they arrived at the party, the room was crowded with people in all ages.
- Beer?
Michael reached for a bottle.
- Yeah… Thank you.
She hated beer. Every gulp she swallowed tasted like poison. But off course, she couldn’t say that. So instead she drank it all up, pretending to like it. Mike was next to her all of the time. She liked him even more now. And he gave her free drinks too! It tasted like soda, but unfortunately it didn’t have the same side effects. After at while, Sara felt kind of dizzy, and everything was spinning around. And suddenly Mike was even more attractive, than what he was before. She knew that she was drunk, but didn’t do anything about it. She actually liked it. She also knew that she drank because of Richard. And she hated that she still loved him.
Mike took her hand, and escorted her to a dark room. It was only them. All alone. But Sara was to drunk to be aware of what was going on. He started to caress her. And that was all she could remember. She also remembered that she woke up with her clothes off, and a bunch of people standing around her. Humiliating, and laughing at her. She found her clothes and staggered towards the bus station, with their laughs in her head.
When the whole family sat around the table for breakfast the next day, the questioning started.
- So? How was your evening sis’?
Sara’s older brother, Daniel was off course the first one to ask.
- Fine. she answered short.
- I think Sara is a bit hung over! Ha ha! Oh my god, Sara! I didn’t know this about you!
He continued to make fun of her. Their mother interrupted them.
- Daniel! Stop it! So, pumpkin, tell us! How was it? What people did you meet?
And there. Right on that moment, that Sunday, it crossed her mind. The party… Mike… She excused herself from the table, put on her outdoor clothes, and walked towards the library. “How could I be so stupid? Why did he do this to me? Am I the only one?”
The sun shined in her face and it was spring weather. The snow slowly was starting to melt, and the temperature wasn’t too bad. The only thing that was cold this morning was her heart. This whole thing had changed her.
She stepped into the library, and though she was on Richard’s department, where he worked, she kept on walking. She settled down to read the first chapter of her new book when she saw the cutest creatures in the whole world, marching, on their way to the assembly room.
- Come on, children! He has already started!
“Who has started what, she thought.” And then she recognized his voice. She just couldn’t hold it back any more, she had to see him. So she took place on distance. And their eyes met just for a second.
- OK, kids. Today’s story is a bit special.
He took out a note pad with handwritten text on it, and started reading.
- Once upon a time there was a prince, and a princess who loved each other very much. When they were together, no one could stop them. The prince was even planning on asking her to marry him. But one day, the evil witch found out about this, and tried to stop the ceremony!
He made a pause, looking at her. And she couldn’t stop smiling.
- In fact, the witch didn’t love him. No, she wanted to make him as her husband, because he was famous, and rich. So she cast a spell on the princess, so that she thought that the prince didn’t love her anymore. And this made her really sad. She didn’t want to speak to the prince, ever again. It made the prince sad too. Remember, he loved her very much.
The kids nodded their heads, agreeable.
- What do you think happened next? Did the princess forgive the prince, or had she made up her mind?
All kind of thoughts came up. The kids started to speak and reflecting, on what might the princess could have said.
He caught her eyes; which was all in tears by now. He formed his lips to a “help me”, and by her smile to tell, he knew exactly how to finish the story.
- Well. The prince took his sword and stabbed the witch with it. So the spell was broken. And they could get married, and live happily ever after. The end.
While the children started emptying the room, she took place opposite him, and whispered,
“I love you.” And with a kiss the spell was broken.

Länge sen du skrivit nåt nytt verk här... men nu passar jag på då och läser och kommenterar, även om jag vanligtvis inte orkar läsa noveller :P Det var en riktit fin novell, söt på slutet. Bra engelska, måste jag erkänna. Några anmärkningar har jag gjort nedan. Vet inte om du gillar dem eller håller med mig, men de är rättelser enligt min engelska (som typ är mitt andra modersmål) ^^
Snickers - Sneakers
What they like to do on their spare time and stuff like that. - In/during their spare time , Stuff like that - skriv hellre "and such (things)"
Of course (Off course=ur kurs xD :P) [det står off course på två ställen]
After at while - After a while
I didn’t know this about you! - skriv hellre "I never thought this about you".
The snow slowly was starting to melt, - passar kanske bättre med "Slowly the snow had begun to melt".
on what might the princess could have said. - "might" är överflödigt.
her eyes; which was all in tears - her eyes, which were all in... (inget semikolon i detta fall). |
