Dee Dee's Senses

  Chapter 2 I was in the middle of setting the table when the doorbell rang again. I paused wondering if it was Aurora again, still, I made my way to the doorway. As I opened the door, I saw a small package sitting on my doorstep, with no sender information in sight. It was mysterious, to say the least. I picked up the package and examined it closely, looking for any clues as to where it came from. The box was plain and unmarked, with no return address or postage stamp. It was as if it had just magically appeared on my doorstep. Curiosity getting the better of me, I decided to open the package. Inside was a beautiful Aquamarine pendant, shimmering in the light.

I quickly grabbed a turquoise headband, a pair of navy jeans to go with it, and a puffy jacket to protect me from the frigid 20-degree weather outside. Racing down the stairs as if I was running late, I tried to shake off the nerves that came with the last day of school at Rivers Edge Public Middle School.  "Hey, Willow Bird want some noodles? I know you like them with eggs," my mom offered.  "Nah, I'm fine," I replied, still lost in my thoughts.  "What's on your mind, my little Widowbird?" My mom asked with a smile.  "Nothing, Amma. It's all going so fast - high school and then college. I don't feel ready," I sighed and collapse...

 Hey everyone, it's been a while since I last posted.  School is taking up most of my time these days with homework and cross-country practice.  On top of that, I've been working on writing my book as a nerdy 7th grader. However, I've hit a bit of a wall with the ending and can't seem to come up with a good one.  In the following posts, I'll be sharing some of my best work so far and I'd appreciate any tips or suggestions you might have. If you'd like to get in touch with me directly, feel free to email me at:  deekshita.dirisinala@gmail.com.  I'm open to discussing any of my other posts as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
