"WOah! Did you write this y/n??" "Uhh yeah! IT's cringy i know." "No no! You're bringing that to school tomorrow!" "But its on google docs-" "Print it out!" "But-" "I have to go, Goodnight! I love you bye!" Emu hung up the phone. I blush a little. This girl really likes me doesn't she? I wish i could see why.
~~~
"OMGG YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!!" "Well yeah-" She snatched it from my hands. "THANK YOU EEE! IM GONNA BINGE READ THIS ALL DAY!" "You don't have to do that emu- Its bad i know.." "I want to. Y/n. YOu have some serious talent!! You should sign up for that one poem contest!!" "E-Eh? Me? Contest? No way- I don't wanna be put in the spot." "But what if you WINNN" "Okay but what if i loose? Thats embarrassing." "AND? People loose to these contests every year." "True- hey wait! What am i doing in front of the poem poster?!"
I didn't notice, but slowly, Emu pushed me closer and closer to the sign up sheet. "To sign up of course!! Go on!!" "But-" "pleaseeeE? IF you win we can celebrate it together! And you get to have that feeling of pride with you forever." She said, dramatically wiping a tear away. "....And... if i loose..?" "Then thats okay! Atleast you tried! Come on! WHat if you win! We can't risk it. We've got nothing to loose. Sign up alreadyyyy!!!" "Okay okay, MOM, jeez." I chuckle. I can't believe im doing this. "Thats the spirit!!" ~~~~ "Soooo any idea on what poem your gonna write for the contest." "Nope- not a clue." I say, looking toward my bin of crumbled up papers. "Oh well im sure you'll figure something out soon! Also look! I got this new keychain and it reminds me of you!" I scoot closer to the phone screen. ".....A donkey?? REally?" "Yeah! IT symbolizes how stubborn you are." I hear her laugh. "Ha ha so funny." I tap my pencil against my notebook. "Still trying to figure out something?" "Yeah. Im all out of ideas. Wait- I have an idea!! IT can be about a girl who falls in love with someone, but that someone was her the whole entire time!!" "Omg that sounds great! Like a plot twizt! The reader goes oh aww boom kachow! Plot twist? I never saw thos coming!!" I giggle at her little comments. "I'm going to get started on writing." "Have fun~ Im going to feed my hampster i'll be right back."
"Ughh this is no use! This story is so cringy! They'll never pick or read my story. They'd probably see it as some cringy fanfiction. GAhhh! Why did i even try? This is all my fault for letting Emu into my head and her influencing me with her ridiculous ideas. I don't know why i thought this would even work. I know all my writings are flops, its not fair. I don't know why i even bothered to try. I give up. I'll just erase my name on that sign up sheet tomorrow."
"Im sorry."
"HUH? E-EMU?? How long were you there??"
"Long enough to hear what you were saying. And i'm sorry." "For?" "For pressuring you. I didn't mean to put you under all this pressure as if your poem HAD to be good. I just wanted to do this for fun. I didn't expect this to happen. I just got all carried away and was blinded by happiness when i found an opening for us to bond, And im sorry. It will never happen again. But i did mean what i said, y/n-sama. You have some serious talent!!"
