Challenge day: write a story from a cover of a book. (The cover of the book it's on the cover of the chapter, it's a french book, so I have only the french cover bit the tittle in English is probably « The night when the stars went out » or something like that.)
The night the stars went out
A fine breeze made fly the fine brown sand on a beautiful sunny beach, the calm and blue sea duck made a noise as if she were trying to tell us a story, maybe she was trying. In this beautiful end of the summer afternoon, the beach was emptied, in a few minutes the beach would be empty. The world went home, or friends, or restaurants... And soon the world would give way to a desert would give way to the quiet of the evening or sometimes a few couples or bands of friends would wander around admiring the beauty of this beach and then afterwards would come the night where no one comes on the beach and everyone sleeps.
But tonight wasn't a night like this, tonight was a special, magical... There, here on this beach, where one could see the coast of a distant island, where one would seem to have come to the end of the world if one were still before all these discoveries, an extraordinary event that had not happened in millions of years.
That evening, Genina, Gen for her family and friends and her "best friend" Beatrice Isclover more knew Bea under the name of Bea for her friends and family. You'll probably say why "best friend" with her quotes and well because Gen had always considered Bea his best friend, but for some time now, let's say she had feelings for this best friend. at the same time that can not fall under the charms of the young teenage girl little, blonde with blue eyes in which one would think to see the reflection of the sea, who besides being so charming preferred spent her days reading books, or drawing what she sees, or write these days, she wasn't addicted to phones like all her teens of the 21st century.
That night Bea had decided to go to the beach with her best friend to draw the stars, with her best friend in front, she loved to paint subjects on her paintings she found that it made them more beautiful and most often the subject was Genina because she spent their life together. He didn't spend 24 hours without her seeing each other, and not just phones or video... when one was sick the other always went home to comfort her, she went on trips together... But there her would change, Béatrice Isclover would move to the other side of the world! The other side of the world! and not in six months or something like that. No! tomorrow... Beatrice was going to leave tomorrow and she had just learned yesterday that she was upset. Genina was therefore determined to tell what she felt about the young blonde.
What the two girls did not know was that it was the last night, the last night before long that the stars would wake up.
That evening, we could see on the beach of a young girl settling on the beach, a little blonde with blue eyes, who wore jeans with drawings of Moon and stars that she had painted with that a belt at her waist herself with a yellow sweater on top, she also wore yellow sunglasses that she had made herself, she had also made on her nails beautiful little yellow drawing, with next to her a large brunette with red-orange reflections, brown eyes, matte skin and a few freckles that was dressed in white shorts with a brown waistband, on top she had a white shirt with blue streaks, she had as an accessory, a canvas bag, and a necklace with butterflies that Bea had given her on her last birthday, and they both wore a blue barrette with flowers that Bea had customised for her. It was Beatrice and Genina coming, they sat quietly on a picnic towel, dropped off their picnic basket and started eating their meals, there was: a pasta salad; a salad with tomatoes, cucumber, avocado; two sandwiches; cheese; a chocolate cake, and one with yogurt; three chocolate wafers, one dark, one with milk, one white; water; juice...
That night, Genina decided to tell her how she felt and give her a photo album of her two, just her two. There was the photo of the first time they saw each other when they were three years old, then the photo of their return to school, all of them, and the photo of their return to school in grade six, and the photo of their fifth, fourth, and even third year. They had always been together in the same class, so next year would have been different;
While Béatrice had decided to offer her best friend, the pure money she could come to visit her next summer, well she would not make an evening on the beach because the nearest beach will be more than 1000km away.
They spent the evening talking, dancing, if the sea was a person, she could be moved and cry because of this magnificent spectacle. The girls laughed, cried... They were still talking about all the good times, and the bad things they had experienced together, they were talking about their biggest shame...
This night, Genina decided to confess to her, everyone she felt... " Bea, I... I'm afraid if I tell you, it'll break our friendship... But now I see you more as my best friend... I have... feelings for you... I mean I'm in love with you..." she says on the run. But she did not have time to take three steps that Beatrice took her by the hand and kissed her. Then she confessed to him: "I too... I've loved you for a while... "and they kissed again.
Then they discussed about their new relationship, but they found it's complicated because of the distance that soon separated them.
It was the night where the stars went out.
