Chapter 6

Story Time

            Here comes story time for all the girls. Jocelin started reading the boring classic book entitled Jane Eyre. The girls felt sleepy and yawned throughout the story. Xylia was busy looking at each of her classmates, all of them, could hardly open their eyes and listen.

Ms.Miratone: Jocelin, please pass the book to Xylia so that she can read the next paragraph. ( telling Jocelin while playing her beautiful precious harp)

Because Xylia knows that everybody felt extremely boring reading the old classic, Xylia decided to make up her own story to entertain her new schoolmates. This was how Xylia continued the story:-

Xylia: Jane found something………….( sees everyone falling asleep) Jane Eyre met a guy name Michael Ryan and at the first sight they fell in love with each other. Her dad found out and forbid his daughter to meet Michael anymore. Jane cried every single day and refused to eat everytime. One night, Michael took Jane out of the house by using a long rope and runaway to India. Sadly her father had discovered the disappearance of his beloved daughter and tried to do something to get Jane back. Jane’s father was a great magician and he used……..(Ms.Miratone cut her off)

Ms.Miratone: What are you doing!? That story doesn’t go like that!

Xylia: I’m sorry Ms.Miratone. I change the story because I saw them falling asleep.  Only this kind of story will make them stay awake and enjoy story time.

Ms.Miratone: Now everyone, go back into your rooms, wash up and sleep early. Tomorrow will be another hard day. I’ll be bringing you girls out to buy whatever things you would like to buy. Now go to your rooms and off to bed! (telling the girls)

The girls ran upstairs.

Micol: Xylia, can you please tell us more of your stories?

Girls: Yes, we want to hear your stories. It is so interesting; we want to know what is going on next.

Xylia: Sure, you can come into my room at mid-night, if you want to listen but remember not to wake anyone else, especially Ms. Miratone. (talking excitedly)

All the girls (one by one) went into Xylia’s room to listen to her adventures stories of Princess Sharvani and her beloved Bala. Becky and I were outside her room listening to every single word that she told.
