BEEP!
"Ekk! An email from Bells!" I squealed. I double clicked on the email. "Ohh! She sent me a picture!" I mumbled excitedly to myself. "Omigosh! This is so funny!" I giggled. I sent a quick reply to Bells and snapped my laptop shut.
Right now I'm really supposed to be in New York City, but I decided that I really should be home for Christmas. Madame Scarlet told me I could be a teenage fashion designer, but I realized that I'm trying to grow up too fast and I turned down Madame's offer to join her in New York.
Everything's been so.... depressing since I left West Virginia. At school the word got out that I was visiting my sister in West Virginia for Thanksgiving and everyone started giving me sympathetic smiles in the hallway. Even the TEACHERS! Some people even teased me, but I just ignored them. Here's a little saying I thought of to get me through the day.
Life
Life is like building a tower
We build ourselves up
just to be knocked down
over and over again.
But after we're knocked down
we build it up again.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Christmas and Christmas Eve (today) won't be the same without you Bella.
Feliz Navidad,
Sofia

One Life Changing Phone Call
I'm sorry I haven't written since the day I left Bells, but things have been SO horrible. Usually I love this time of year. Full of surprises and happiness. I've always loved the fresh pine smell the Christmas always spreads throughout the house. The aroma of baking gingerbread cookies always make me smile, but this year... this year is different.
"Sofia?!" "Sofia???" I look up from the new Seventeen magazine I'm reading.
"What do you want Megan??"
"It's for you," Megan explains as she holds out the phone. I snatch it out of her hand.
"Hello??"
"Is this Sofia Martinez??"
"Uhhh. Yeah, but who is this?" I ask.
"I'm Madame Scarlet and I just got done discussing the pictures you sent in-"
"Wait. What?? What pictures?? I didn't send in any pictures!!" I glance at Megan. She's smiling. Oh I got it. She sent in some pictures, but why and for what??
"Of course you did!! Madame Katherine and I both LOVED the sketches in the notebook and we would like to invite you to attend a fashion designing class in New York this Winter Break!" Madame Whatever replied.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!! This isn't a joke is it???"
" Of course not! I will email you the details and I will send you your plane tickets in the mail.”
As I sat at the dinner table later that evening I got up and gave Megan a big hug. She sent in my fashion design sketch notebook to the New York Parsons Fashion Studio. Who has the best friend in the WHOLE world??? That’s right. ME SOFIA MARTINEZ!
