Holly! A New Adventure

Chapter 4: Meet Portia P

      On a Saturday morning, Lisa and Holly opened their eyes and realized that the day that arrived is saturday. "Good morning!" They greeted simultaneously. Later on, Lisa has created a list of fun things she must do with Holly. She is confident that the plan will work perfectly. "Ah, It's a good one." She said as the rag doll returned to the bedroom to talk to her. "Hey, Holly! I've made a list of fun things! You're gonna love it!"

"That's right, Lisa. I think I'm going for a walk." said Holly.

"A walk? What about the fun things? Like hanging in at Verena's house, play monopoly, watch a night movie and stuff?" Lisa asked.

"I'll be fine. I won't get lost."

"Get lost? My parents will be worried about you!"

"Don't worry, I'll be allright and smooth." Holly left the bedroom as she happily exclaimed. When she went outside, Holly sighed as she started to walk alone without Lisa. She put her hands in her skirt pocket as she walked away with a smile in her face, humming to the song My name is Holly. Along the way, she greeted many people as she kept walking. The rag doll walked as she saw a boy playing catch with his little brother in a house. The boy threw the baseball into the street as Holly picked it up quickly and gave it to him. Then, the girl continued in her walk as Vivian watched her in a tree. Holly stood next in a building in Flat Shoals Avenue as she observed some people walking. A young adult woman noticed her as she talked to her friend.

"Hey, look! It's Holly!" said the woman. "She is a singer!"

"You're very kind, girl!" Holly complimented her. Seconds later, Holly is in a house drinking a bottle of water as she looked around before combing her hair.

So much later, Holly walked in the streets of Wylie Street and saw some street art created by graffiti artists. She was impressed as she noticed a black girl creating graffiti in the wall of the Korg Street Tunnel. She hid herself behind a pole and watched the girl creating street art with some spray paints and marker pens. She wrote a "P" and the phrase Rule Yes! in the wall and smiled proudly at it. Holly became curious as she observed her resuming her work. The girl started to create a graffiti on a tree and paused in a moment where she saw Holly and walked next to her as she left behind the post.

"Yo, what're you lookin' at, Stripes, are ya gonna make me?" The girl asked her in a street talk manner.

"No, no! I was just watching you creating your vandalism work thing." Holly hid her arms behind her back, shyly.

"Oh, really? Wat's yo name, rag doll?"

"I'm Holly. Holly Lawrence. Or Holly Fitzgerald or Raggster. I don't have a last name sometimes."

"Wow. You're just like me. I'm Portia P, dawg." Portia introduced herself as she shook Holly's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Portia."

"Yo're far away from home, aren't ya?" Portia adjusted her baseball cap as she picked up a spray paint. "Here, grab a spray paint."

Later on, Holly and Portia are creating graffiti inside the tunnel. The rag doll wrote her own name in the wall with a red spray paint and drew it with the marker pen. She wrote the cheerful phrases starting with: "My name is Holly", "You know my name!", "I'm Just Pink!". Portia wrote her own phrases which also said: "What up?" "Yo!" "Portia's my name!"

"Well, Holly, you have many talents. What's yo' talent, girl?" She asked.

"I have a talent, Portia. I can sing to impress." Holly replied as she wrote: "Holly rhymes with Dolly".

"Cool. Imm'a rapper, graffiti artist and also a hip hop singer." Portia laughed so hard as she sighed.

"You can sing? Awesome!"
