"these quotes"

2

"Put your heart, mind and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret to success" 

Emillia sat on her bed flipping through the book, Struggling to read each quote. She didn't stop trying though, she wanted to do this for Luke. He was trying to help her. Occasionally she was get frustrated with herself, though she knew deep inside that practise makes perfect.

It was Friday so Emilla didn't have to do much. She played some soft music (Or more like Queen with the volume lowered down). 

"Emillia?" Her mother called as she entered her room. Emillia quickly covered the book. 

"You haven't said a word since you've come home? Is everything all right?" Emillia nodded. 

"Everything is fine mom" She said smiling innocently. Her mother didn't know about her reading problems or about the kids at school or even about Luke. Her mother knew nothing. 

"Well...alright" she said. 

"Oh and May I go out?" Emillia asked, her mother nodded before walking out the door. Emillia grabbed the book and made her way outside. She read as she walked, some of the words actually coming together. 

Emillia found intrest in the book, she still had a lot of problems reading the book, but whenever she did read a word she would smile knowing she did it. She loved how the words would flow across her head if she got them right.

This wasn't something she could do quickly though. Normally one word would take 15-20 minutes to read, She knew it was going to take a while before she was able to read like a normal person.

"Emillia?" She heard Luke call. She look up from the book and smiled.

"I see you're reading the book." Luke said sitting down next to her. She nodded "Yeah it's interesting"

"May I show you my favorite quote?" He asked, She nodded and handed him the book. He flipped through the dusty pages until he found what he was looking for.

"Ah here it is, Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" 

Emillia smiled thinking about the quote, Thinking about the quotes she's read. 

"I really enjoy reading" She said quietly. He smiled at her sweet words "Me too"

"I mean, It's hard, like, really hard, but It's always satisfying to get a word right" She said trying to explain how she felt to Luke. 

"Yeah I understand. You should try writing a book" Luke said casually.

"It would probably suck" Emillia said.

"You never know, I mean, Everybody sucks in the beginning of something great" Luke said handing her the book and getting up. 

"Now I must go" He said walking off "Just think about it, the story"
