Nicole’s Story Prt 4

She was accepted into the program of her choice! Nicole could hardly believe her good fortune! She danced around the room hugging herself, everything was falling into place! Retrieving her backpack from the floor she rummaged around for her cell phone. Her mom answered on the first ring and she quickly blurted out the good news as she danced around the room again.

Nicole’s parents were as happy and as excited as she was. After they had spoken at length about how proud they were of her and how sure they were that she would make them even prouder, her dad asked to speak with Marie. He seemed disappointed that she was not at home and asked Nicole to tell her to call him at her earliest convenience.

Nicole’s Story Prt 3

His brown eyes were looking inquisitively at her from beneath dark bushy eyebrows and he seemed amused at how startled she was. “Hello, so sorry to startle you,” he said flashing an unrepentant grin. Nicole couldn’t control her natural urge to smile in return, “It’s ok,” she said as she began to gather up her things. The light was waning and she had completely lost track of time as usual.

“Oh don’t go because of me,” he said sitting forward with both hands on his thighs as though he was about to get up. “I’m not leaving because of you, I actually meant to leave an hour ago but I lost track of time” she responded as she put her sketchpad and pencils into their case and zipped it shut. Placing everything into her backpack she strung her arms through the straps and settled it on her back before finally giving the stranger a good once over.
