story part 2

  In the little town of Riverdell by the sea, there was a majestic and beautiful house, in which Sofia and Charlie lived with their parents. The house was white with blue shutters, a beautiful garden out back was filled with all kinds of flowers. On land you could feel the sea spray when it was windy and see the white caps as the wind blew through the sea. Sofia and Charlie's parents moved to the house by the sea 2 years ago. Sofia didn't want to leave her friends. Her brother didn't talk much, so he had no friends. Sofia talked a lot and had lots of friends.

S ofia was impulsive and wild while her brother, Charlie was the opposite, he was obedient and compassionate. Charlie was the angel of the family while Sofia did her own thing. Sofia's and Charlie's hair were both brown. They had opposite haircuts, Sofia's was a pixie cut, Charlie had long curly hair that fell to his shoulders. Their mom was kind and loving. Their dad was tough and hardworking.

"But all my friends in the city have one," said Sofia pleadingly.

"No," said their mom, "but you can save up for one."

"I will ask every birthday if I can get a tattoo then," said Sofia grudgingly.

At this Charlie looked smug. Earlier, he had asked their dad for roller skates but their dad had said the same thing. When Sofia saw his smug expression, she looked down at her plate. It was white with blue birds around the edge.

  2. Hmmm. Roller skates versus a tattoo. Those are pretty different in my view. I wonder what the reasoning was behind that as Charlie is the angel. I'd say Sofia doesn't stand a chance unless something chances.
    Thanks Jen!

  3. You have me hooked Jen. Tell us when this story takes place. Do they have cell phones and computers and is there internet? Or is this way in the past when we only had lights and telephone?

  4. This place reminds me of Tahsis, a small village on Vancouver Island. I still have this illusion moving back there when I'm retire...

    I'm looking forward to see what Sofia would do next,Jen.
