Chapter II

A Farm in England

O  ne quite morning, in England, Narelli called for her best friend, Roxy or Roxanna. Roxy and Narelli new each other from birth and you could not keep them apart. As Narelli liked to say "I would simply die without her." So when Roxy's parents died Roxy came to live with her.

        Narelli ran to Roxy's room and knocked. Roxy answered, "Come in."

        Now before you go thinking they're rich. Narelli is just a simple fifteen year old farm girl. With long blond hair that hung at her waist and blue eyes. Roxy, a year younger than her, was just very kind. Roxy had long brown hair that only came to the middle of her back and big brown eyes to mach. And Narelli isn't what you called bad. She just didn't like a lot of people. Like their neighbor, Manuel. His father was a rich lord, not to say he was stuck up or anything. He just liked to pick fights with Narelli.

        Narelli opened the door to a small room. It was a very light blue and had a big window. Roxy was just getting out of bed, when she came in.

        "How are you?" asked Narelli. "I'm fine," answered Roxy. "It's just hard to get use to farm life," Roxy frowned.

       "I just came to tell you that breakfast is ready," said Narelli. She smiled then left.

        When Roxanna got to the table everybody was already there. Then they prayed for their food.

       "I wanted to talk you girls about something," said Narelli's father. "It is about your education."

        Roxy looked at Narelli and frownd. Narelli wispered to her, " this can't be go."

       "I've desighted to enroll you in Miss Coopertin's girls academy, in Florida," contiued her father. "I wont need the help because the boy are big enough to help on the farm. I know this will be a big change, but we will get through this together."

       "Yes father," said said with her head down.

       "All right lets get to work," her father said. " James that down you'll break the egg."

        Then everybody left, leaving her to talk with Roxy. When Roxanna burst into tears. Narelli would've said something to comfort her, when her older brother, Brendon, just walked in. He walked over to Roxy and hed her for a long time, said something into her ear, and left.

       "What was that all about?" questioned Narelli.

 "Nothing," Roxy answered sniffling, "Are you going to miss it here?"

       "I guess so, but I can't wait to see America." with that Roxy frowned.

*

        That night Roxanna snuck out of bed and went to the field behind the house, where alone big tree stood. The tree is where she and Brendon had come ever since her parents died.

        Brendon was already sitting under the tree. When he saw her he stood up, she threw her hands around his neck.

        He pushed her away so they could talk.

       "Please don't cry again," he said for her eyes were starting to get teary. "I never like to see a girl cry."

        He smiled. She thought he had the cutest smile ever.

       "Alright," Roxy said. "I just don't want to go. I want to stay here with you."

       "I know," he said. "but you just have to do what father says. Besides you have Narelli to take care of you."

        Roxy laughted. "More like I have to take care of her. She's always getting into trouble."     He laughted with her.

        Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. He had kissed her before, but this was more. It was just tender love, and that spoke a million words.

        Then after some seconds pasted by, pulled after and held her.

       "I love you Brendon."

*

        After a few days she and Roxy talked to Manuel.

       "I heard you girls are going to Florida. Is it true, or just another rumor you made up, Narelli."

       "Yes it is true. We are going to get an education," said looking a little down these days.

       "And to be rid of you," Narelli said.

       "Well then, I'ld better enroll in a class over there then. So I can keep an eye on you," he said with a smile to Roxanna. "And to make sure you never get married, Narelli."

       "How can you do that?"

"I'll make you look like a blasted child."

       "Ha, ha, laugh all you want, but I swear if you come I will make you wish you never even thought of coming," said Narelli and she left right after.

       "I thought she'ld never leave," Manuel told Roxy.

       "Are you realy thinking of going, because I don't want to watch both of you."

       "Don't worry, I wont unless you want me to. Boy, wouldn't it be fun though. All the tricks and fights we'ld get into."

       "Manuel, I have to go pack, I'll see you later."
