Story 8

A trip to a Morning Market and Met New Friends

 Fran: Rise and Shine.(pulling the curtains to the other side and tie it) Wake up Becca! Wake up Xylia!

Becca&Xylia: eerrh…. (making noise)

Fran: Wakie up! We need to go to the market. And it’s getting late now the girls will be up by one hour. (shaking them)

Becca&Xylia: Alright! Alright!

                        They both woke up and clean themselves up. Without wasting our time, we went down to the  nearest street market to buy some food. Do you know how the market sounds like??? Hahahaha….I think you know. It is really a noisy place where people buy food and sellers will shout “fish, fresh fish just 3 dollars for one, come buy! buy! buy!.” Haahahaha….well Xylia is not so used in this situation now because here is a very smelly morning market.

Fran: Becca! Xylia! Look over there is a clown. Oh, isn’t it funny. (laughing)

Xylia: It’s so cute. He can do so many magic tricks and making sad and happy faces.

Becca: I guess we need to go to the stall to buy some fish now.

Xylia: Eww….. that fishy place. Do I need to go???(pressing her nose)

Fran: Oh, come on Xylia. It is not that smelly. You will soon be used to it because we are supposed to come everyday and buy something for the girls to eat. (smiling at Xylia)

Becca: Oh, come on. Let’s go before it’s too late.

We went to the fish stall to buy some fish.

Fishmonger: Hi, girls. What kind of fish you want??

Fran: Erm…….I would want a clown fish …Mr. Young….(kidding)

Fishmonger: Oh, you want some clown fish. Let me see….(pretend to find the clown fish) Opps…sorry there is no more clown fish.

Fran: There is no clown fish but Ms.Miratone wants clown fish for her lunch today. If I never get clown fish for her I’ll be dead meat.(joking again)

Becca: Oh, come on Fran, cut it out. Better buy the fish now and we must be heading home.  

Xylia: Yah, Fran. Hurry up!

Fran: Alright! Alright! (turned to the fishmonger) Mr.Young, I will just buy the cheapest fish for them.

Fishmonger: Okay, here you are. (wraps up the fish and gave it to me) It will be 4 penny, please.

Fran: Here you go ( giving the pennies)

Fishmonger: Thanks, do come again. Have a nice day, girls.

Girls: Have a nice day to you too, Mr.Young. (waving goodbye)

Xylia, Becca and me head back to the girls boarding school. On the way, we met a few boys playing with wooden swords and pretending to be someone else. One of them was pretending to be a prince while the other was pretending to be a bad person. Suddenly, one boy accidentally fall on top of me. He quickly stood up and said he was sorry.

The boy: Forgive me, miss. ( apologizing to me)

Fran: It’s alright, sir. I’m fine. Becca! Xylia! Please help me up. (They rushed towards me and help me up.) Sorry, it my fault for not looking at the way. I’m busy looking at you guys playing wooden swords.

The boy: It is actually not your fault, miss. It is I who accidentally fall on you.

Fran: So. What is your name??

The boy: My name is Jeremy Riller and these are my best friends Branson, Dustin and Shane.

Xylia: Hi, Jeremy. My name is Xylia.

Jeremy: Hi, Xylia. Nice to meet you. (winking at her)

Fran: And I’m Fran. She is Becca. (pointing to Becca)

Jeremy: Nice to meet you both too. ( still looking at Xylia)

Becca: I think we better go now before the freaky lady will be flattering at us again.(laughing)

Fran: Yah, she is my worst nightmare. If we never get back fast she will maybe even give us one punch and saying “Why are you so late??? Didn’t I tell you to come back early. The girls are starving now and they are grumbling for food……bla…..bla…..bla. And all we can answer is “Sorry Ms. Miratone. We do that again.” (clowning around )

Xylia: Hahahha….(laughing) You are so cute, Fran. You really acted like Ms.Miratone’s voice and saying the same words that she was saying.

Becca: Hahahha…. Fran is really good in imitating people’s sound especially Ms.Miratone. That’s why I like her. She likes to make a lot of jokes that makes me laugh. ( laughing hard)

Fran: Okay, we better go now before the grumbling lady wants to grumble at us. So, maybe we can meet you guys tomorrow. Let’s go Becca and Xylia.

Xylia was still looking at Jeremy and Jeremy is still looking at Xylia. I think they have a soft spot on each other. Love in the first sight? It’s really like the Cinderella Story (like what Helen said?) which the prince fell totally in love with Cinderella in just a glimpse of an eye. I felt that they will make a very cute couple. OH-NO, IT”S GETTING LATE. I better  wake Xylia up before goes on dreaming again, erm…maybe about Jer emy heheheh. There she goes again….erm it is the 3^rd time I caught her dreaming.

Fran: Xylia……Xylia….. (shaking her softly)

Xylia: Huh??? (just waking from her dream)

Becca: We better get going.(looking worried)

As we wanted to go, Jeremy stopped us.

Jeremy: Wait! If you three have free time, come and play with us with wooden swords.

Fran: Sound like a great idea. I love to play wooden swords. (I was the tomboyish among Becca and Xylia)

Xylia: But girls do not play with wooden swords. ( she was the most ladylike among Becca and me)

Fran: I love to play wooden swords and pretending that I’m “Xenna The Warior Princess” (laughing loudly) This time we really need to go now, bye guys.

We bid goodbye and Jeremy managed to say goodbye to lovely Xylia. Becca and I just kept quiet and told Xylia we had something to tell her in the house.
