Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

Also joining in with Charlotte's colour of the month which is white for February.

Here is my story:

Khoral Kai was chatting with a group of teenagers as they walked home from school. He’d noticed Carla crying and wanted to help. He handed her a huge white handkerchief and she dried her eyes, then said, “Louise and Sally said they hate me now, because they both like Trevor, but he likes me instead of one of them. I didn’t ask him to like me! Why would they hate me for that?” “Because they’ve joined that snooty group of Amelia’s who think they are better than everyone else!” said Katrina.

“I’ve noticed this a lot with teenagers,” said Khoral. “So much sadness and all over who is attached to whom, then a week or two later everyone fixates on someone or something else. This will change as you all get older, although I see that isn’t much comfort right now. The thing is, life is not a fairytale and whomever you see as your eternal Prince Charming probably isn’t.” “I don’t think any of them qualify as Prince Charmings,” said Katrina. Estelle said, “sometimes kids our age do find their soul mate early, remember Romeo and Juliet?”

“That is also true,” said Khoral, “but usually you need to have several friends, boys and girls, that you have things in common with and eventually you will find the one that is meant for you. Sometimes that doesn’t happen until you have left school and worked at a job or a career for a while and found your niche. It could be that someone else will come along who fits right into that niche with you.” “Or someone completely different who loves you for who and what you are anyway. That’s what my Grandma says,” said Samantha.

“Your Grandma speaks the truth,” said Khoral. “Now, let’s talk about the happiness side of things. Carla, what would make you happy right now?” “If I could be friends with just everybody and not worry about who likes who,” said Carla. “Would it help if you spoke with Louise and Sally away from the others?” said Khoral. “Probably not,” said Carla as the others nodded. “They’ll have to come to their senses on their own.”  “Wise words from one so young,” said Khoral. “Well I have been listening to your stories for years now and there is always a lesson in them,” said Carla.

“Here’s home,” said Estelle, turning in at her gate. “Are you still coming for dinner?” she asked of Carla and Katrina. Samantha had already said she couldn’t make it. “Yes, of course,” both girls replied. “Good, Mum has already been baking a new kind of dessert. Single serve lemon cheesecakes drizzled with white chocolate,” she said. “Oh yum!" said Samantha. “We’ll save one for you,” said Estelle, “I’ll bring it around after breakfast tomorrow.” “Thank you,” said Samantha, then whispered something to Estelle. “Of course I’ll bring one for your Grandma too and would you like me to save one for you Khoral?” she asked. “That would be lovely, thank you very much,” said Khoral.

Estelle said, "Fiona Thompson wants them at her wedding, so Mum is doing a practice run.”
