Two Young Souls: Chapter 2

Shelly

"Kring, kring..." the telephone rings.

"Kring, kr..." the telephone rings for the second time but was stopped when Mrs. Green answered the phone.

"Hello?" said Mrs. Green to the person on the other line.

"Hello, may I speak to Mrs. Green, please" replied the caller.

"Speaking"

"I'm Mr. Smith's assistant here calling about a meeting tonight at the office, will you be able to attend? My apologies for the sudden meeting on a Sunday. Mr. Smith said it was important."

"Uhh, okay, what time is the meeting?"

"At 8 o'clock tonight"

"Okay, I'll be attending"

"Okay," *sound of typing on a keyboard*"Thank you, miss. Have a nice day"

"You're welcome" said Mrs. Green then hangs up the phone.

Shelly who was beside her mom throughout the whole conversation was concerned and wondered who that was.

"Who was that mom?" Shelly asked.

"That was my boss's assistant calling about a meeting tonight. So, darling, I will be out tonight. Will you be okay about staying home while I'm out?" replied Shelly's mom.

"Can i have a few friends over?" asked Shelly again.

"Sure, but only a few, and no boys, understand?"

"Yeay! Thank you mom." said Shelly in excitement, but she only heard the 'sure' and did not listen to the other details.

After that, she immediately ran to her room to call up her three BFFs. This is how the conversation went:

Shelly: Alex, hi. Hey, my mom's out tonight, wanna come over.
Alex: Sure, lets call the others and make a 4-way call. CONFERENCE!

Siera: Hello? Jessica!
Jessica: Hello? Siera!

~~~~~At the store~~~~~~

Shelly was the first to arrive. Second was Siera, then followed by Alex. They were about to question about Jessica, when she arrived in full-fledge pink.

"Wow! Waddup with you?" asked Alex sarcastically.

"Nothing fancy rite? haha..." said Jessica.

After that, they begun their quest for the 'party stuff'. On the way to their first destination, they gossiped about everything. School, boys, celebs, even their own boyfriends. Sound of laughter was really loud when they walked by. When they reached the chocolate isle, Shelly was having so much fun talking and walking backwards, when suddenly Alex, Siera and Jessica screamed to stop. But it was too late. Shelly felt something behind her, then heard a 'thump' followed by loud crying. It was a little girl. She was about to take a bar of chocolate when Shelly hit her.

"OMG!! Shell! What did you do?"said Alex in astonishment.

"We all know what happened. Shell hit her."Jessica said dumbly.

"We are well aware of that, Jess" Siera implied in an a-matter-of-fact tone.

"Jess, this is serious!" stressed Alex.

"Little girl, are you okay? can you stand up? I'm sorry. Who did you come with?" said Shelly to the little girl, trying to make things better.

"Ohh, you're in trouble." said Jessica.

"Shush!" said Shelly, shutting Jessica up.

Shelly continued to try and cheer the girl up. But it was no use. The crying kept getting louder and louder. Shelly didn't know what to do. Neither did her friends.
