Mr. Maul Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Written for my creative writing class. Take it for what it is. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]"We heard what you said."[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]The girl being spoken to looks up at the one doing the speaking.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]"We heard what you told Ms. Fesser."[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]The girl just sits there in the pale, dusty dirt under the maple tree, looking at the three who have gathered around her.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray] She sits there in silence, staring at the three girls. She is worrying.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]"What... what are you talking about?" she asks.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]"You know exactly what we're talking about, Scout," says one of the girls.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]She does. She remembers every single word that she said. The intonation, the pauses, the gesticulation. She knows exactly what they are talking about.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]"We heard what you said, and you're not going to get away with it," said the taller of the three girls, glaring at Scout.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Scout knows what this means. She knows what is in store. It's not as if she had lied; it was the opposite, in fact. She had told the truth. Truth or not, however, she was uneasy. Sarah always made her uneasy. Sarah and Alanna and Anita. She doesn?t like those three.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [pindent=1][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]This isn't the first time this has happened. Scout tells on Sarah, Sarah gets mad, Sarah spreads rumors. This is why Scout sits alone under the maple tree during recess. It's just that this time it is going to be a whole lot worse. Scout knows this. She knows it's going to be far more than rumors. She doesn't like this.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/pindent] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray] Feedback, please.
