This a short story based on two characters I am developing a short novel of. Eris and Astrea are two girls very different but yet bound by friendship. Discovery: I recently helped my brothers friend with his English assignment and came across the Declaration of Independence, also I had recently read an article about people blaming minorities for the Corona Virus outbreak. This led me to the character of Astrea, a girls so kind hearted and pure and Eris a character who is ignorant and small minded. I explored the story from both point of views, initially writing a monologue from both perspectives, but decided upon a third person narrative using Astrea as the protagonist. I did try and work with the questionnaire but ended up writing too much, thus decided to focus on the most important aspects, that are relevant for this piece. I feel like I was able to explore both characters and feel like Astrea is the character driving this piece. I was surprised how the characters actions and how she perceives her environment reveal so much about her. I hope you enjoy reading it and I look forward to your feedback.

" Here is your order, Mam! " Sandra smiles. " Thanks! " The woman smiles back. Sandra smiles again and starts leaving. But something stops her on the track. " Ophelia? " The woman calls someone. Suddenly Sandra feels coldness and fear crawling under her skin. Her hands are shaking, making the tray shake along with them. She looks back at the woman and asks subconsciously with a trembling voice, " Yes? " The woman looks confused. There is now another woman sitting with her. The first woman asks, " Is your name Ophelia too? " Sandra doesn't reply and looks dazed. The second woman shakes her hands in front of Sandra's eyes. " Hello? " Sandra jerks out of her thoughts and shoots them an apologetic smile. " Sorry! I thought you called me! " " It's okay! That's why I asked your name! " The first woman smiles. " Oh! I am Sandra! " Sandra's voice is still shaking. " Then how can you get confused between Sandra and Ophelia? " The second woman gives her a weird look. " Both of them are so different! " " Um..I... Um..." Sandra stutters. " Sorry, gotta go! " She says and flees from there. She runs out of the shop and stands outside. Her eyes suddenly start brimming with tears. She hugs herself and whispers, " I am not confused at all! Both of them are my names! " She wipes the tears away and whispers again, " I am Sandra and.....
