Chapter 2

Sparks Fly

Hours had past and Melody still hasn’t memorized her A B C’s

“Melody it’s like this:” sinabi Ariel. Ariel got her beautiful voice ready to sing to Melody.

“Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp,

Qq, Rr, Ss, Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy and Zz. Now I know my A B C’s, susunod time won’t you sing with me.” sinabi Ariel. Melody clapped and Ariel looked at her watch. Ariel ran to the very nice principal to ipakita the note from Eric and she was excused to go bring Malory home. They waited and waited for Eric, Dimitri, and Jim to come. Then suddenly, the door opened. Melodyknew who it was, but Ariel was not aware that it was Jim and Dimitri. Ariel heard laughing.

“Wh- wh- who goes there?” called Ariel. “Don’t touch Melody!” she shouted.

The two men walked in with their hands up.

“Woah! Whoa, whoa!” sinabi the two men, “We didn’t mean to sca-“ but that was all Jim could get to.

Jim was admiring Ariel, ‘Whoa man! She’s- just ADORABLE!’ thought Jim. Dimitri was also admiring her, ‘I think I can see my future wife!’

ANOTHER NOTE: Jim and Dimitri aren’t really brothers, Dimitri is just a good friend who can fool Jim, since Jim is a taon older than Eric, Eric believes that Dimitri is his cousin, but he’s not. -__- RESPECT PLEASE!

Jim was making weird faces, Dimitri was fixing his outfit.

“So, uh… hello miss, what’s your name?” sinabi Dimitri getting closer to Ariel.

“Uh- hi. My name is Ariel. What’s yours?” sinabi Ariel a little romantically.

“Dimitri, Dimitri Del Caso.” whispered Dimitri getting closer and closer.

Their romantic moment was ruined sa pamamagitan ng Jim, who thought they were very… weird.

“Uh guys?” sinabi Jim. “I hate to interrupt but, Melody still needs to eat.”

Then the two got up off the chairs and heated up Melody’s food. Then after an hour, Eric walked in, he’s always late. ‘Cause his school is at Ariel’s school but they wear different uniforms. He walks home, Ariel drives home.
“Hey! I’m tahanan Melody!” sinabi Eric, arms out wide for a hug. “…and who are you?” sinabi Eric looking at Ariel, still hugging Melody’s back.

“I’m Ariel, from Aterny Highschool and Preschool. I’m Melody’s new tutor, and I brought her home.” sinabi Ariel.

“Oh- oh yeah! I gave you the note ‘cause Dimitri had work today.” sinabi Eric, holding out a hand to shake. Ariel shook hands with him. But when they shook, electricity went through their vanes, Ariel and Eric felt it, but they were the only ones who saw it. Eric tried to resist the feeling but Ariel had to let it out.

“Ow!” sinabi Ariel. Ariel nearly fell, as if she was electrocuted,

Eric gasped at this sight, he quickly caught her, he put her in the guest’s bedroom. She was unconscious. So he had to stay with her, with the door locked. Only him and Melody were in the room.

“Dwaddy?” sinabi Melody.

“Yes?” sinabi Eric.

“Why shwe dead?” sinabi Melody.

“She’s not dead, she’s just unconscious.” sinabi Eric.

“Wat uncosios?” sinabi Melody.

“Unconscious. That means she’s just fainted, you know what I mean. Not breathing, but still alive.” sinabi Eric.

Melody still didn’t know what he meant but she just nodded.

After 2 hours, Ariel was still in bed. But not awake yet. Eric decided that it was time for the mouth-to-mouth method. So he tried it.

Ariel woke up after many times of mouth-to-mouth methods.

When she woke up, Eric hugged her in a friendly- no! Wait! Romantic way- ARGH! Either way, he hugged her. She didn’t understand at first, but then she just went with the flow and hugged him back.

“I was so worried Ariel!” sinabi Eric.

“You were?” sinabi Ariel.

“I was!- very!” sinabi Eric.

“Thanks!” sinabi Ariel.

They ended the hug and Eric unlocked the door. He offered her to stay for a while (I’M RIPPING OF DISNEY HERE! PLEASE STOP ME!) and Ariel sinabi she’d call her mom and ask. She did. But this is how the conversation went
Ariel: Mom, can I stay at Mr. Eric Smears house for a few days- no 2 months.

Ana: Who’s Eric Smears?

Ariel: He’s a boy from my school. I went to bring Melody home, the kid I’m tutoring, and I fell unconscious and he helped me and offered me to stay a while since Melody enjoys time with me.

Ana: Well, let me come over. Wait for 30 minutes. What’s his address.

Ariel: (tells address)

Ana: Ok, I’ll be there in… 30 minutes.

Ariel: Ok mom.

So Ariel waited with Eric, Dimitri (kept flirting), Jim, and Melody at Eric’s house for 30 minutes.

AFTER THIRTY MINUTES:

The doorbell rang! Hooray! Hooray! It was Ariel’s mom Ana.

“Dimitri, get the door please.” sinabi Eric.

“Oh alright.” sinabi Dimitri getting up.

Dimitri got the door and Ana walked in. She saw Eric and immediately fell in love. But sad for her, Eric will ask Ariel the susunod day, to the prom coming up. Dimitri was not in pag-ibig with her yet, but will run into her later.

They talked and talked and talked and talked. Then Anastasia had to go. Ariel waved good bye as her mom gave Ariel her suitcase. Ariel remembered she did not have much. So she put her hand to her forehead when she remembered the hapunan that she’s going to eat with Eric, Melody and Dimitri and Jim. Then Eric knocked on her door to check on her.

“Ariel? Are you in there?” sinabi Eric.

“Yes. Come in!” sinabi Ariel. And he did. He saw she was having trouble picking out a dress.

“I see someone’s having trouble picking out a dress!” sinabi Eric.

“I am.” sinabi Ariel. Ariel sat on her kama and looked up at Eric. Eric sat down and she looked at the ground. He rubbed her back and Ariel blushed and looked away.

“Well I have some dresses of my old girlfriend’s still in the storage room, they might fit you.” sinabi Eric. “I’ll go get them.” sinabi Eric, closing the door.

After 5 minutes, Eric came back with some magnificent dresses. Ariel tried each one on and Eric admired each one.
