The girl in the mirror

chapter 12

Hey guys I'll be posting this chapter early as I dont have time to on friday. I want to thank all my readers that come back and read all my new chapters. It means the world to me. Enjoy this chapter my loves.

Eve POV

I'm bored to death. It's around noon, I already ate lunch. Now I'm just swirling around in my chair. Maybe I can rearrange my collection. On the window still I have my figurines and tiny stuffed animals. I only brought a few but the collection is much bigger at home. They are my most important comfort stuff animals.

In a line is a giraffe, elephant,octopus and the newest addition the doll from the market.

I haven't thought of a name for her yet. I pick it up and roll it over in my hands.

What would make a good name?

Eve? Nah that's stupid to name your doll after you.

Emma? Okay I really gotta stop thinking of other people's names.

What kind of name does this doll look like? It looks like a painted piece of wood if we are going to be honest.

Ughhhh this is so hard.

Ping.

I roll in my chair over to my bed where my phone is charging. Oh, it's Ash.

He just texted, you alive

Barely I said back.

Bruh I got my test results back. I barely passed.

At least you passed

Yeah but mama isn't going to like it.

Rip do you have any final wishes

Wow thanks I know who is not going to be sad at my funeral then

I'll cry dont worry you are a good friend. I heist when I type the word friend. My feelings aren't really platonic at the moment.

Can we at least call before I die

Aren't you in class?

Nah its lunch, Anshia is in a student council meeting. So you down for a call.

Let me grab my earphones first.

That was a lie. I was panicking trying to not look like a mess. I mean I am literally in my pjs and have hair everywhere. Omg why does hair never want to work with me when I need it to. I rapidly brush and try to tame it.

My phone rings. I grab my earphones.

"Hey'

"Hey" I act like I totally didn't panic before he called.

"Oh wow I didn't expect you to actually pick up"

" And I didn't expect you to nearly fail. Aren't you and Anshia smart?"

He looks offended "Okay in my defence I was busy running the sports council and it spilled my mind".

"Sure sure whatever you say" I smirk.

"Wow okay I didn't call to be attacked by you".

"What are you talking about? I'm just stating facts".

He snorts and folds his arms "anyways what were you doing?"

"Oh um just you know..." what if he makes fun of me for my collection "thinking of a name for my doll" I whisper.

"Why are you whispering? I can't hear you" He leans in closer to hear me.

I shyly held up the doll "I was thinking of a name for the doll".

"Oh, that's the doll we got from the market. You still haven't named it?'

"Okay I have to choose the right name. I can't just give it a random name".

"Fine fine you need help" he raises his hands in surrender.

"Yeah" I admit.

"Do you have any other dolls? Maybe the names can rhyme?"

"I didn't think of that hold up, let me show you the others".

Ashwin pov

She went off screen and came back with a bunch of stuffed animals.

She puts them all in a line, her eyes smiling the whole time.

"Okay so this one is Ella. she is the oldest one and she is a bit broken" she holds up the elephant. One of the eyes pops out.

"How was that not killed you in your sleep"

She picks up the giffare,"I don't know at this point. Anyways this is George my friends got him for me for my 15th birthday".

I lean back and listen to her telling me each of the animals' names and where they came from.

It's nice just to watch her talk about things she loves. The grade for my test ruined my day but she made it better like she always does. She is like a sun that brightens my day.

"You should name the doll Arani" I say.

"Omg that's a pretty name. Okay that will be her name" she smiles.

Arani has multiple meanings but it can mean sun in sanskrit.

I check the time. The bell is going to go soon. Shit.

"Ugh the bell is going to go. I have science".

"Aww okay then see you later?"

I smile "Yeah I'm coming home with Anshia".

She beams "see you then".
