Chapter 7
Last two years Teresa gave Jane memory books full with their photos. This year Teresa wanted to do something special which is meaningful and useful for them. At first she thought of giving photos as memories but she did that before so it wouldn't be special. At last she thought of something which not everyone can do, 'cross st.i.tch key chains'.
She started to draw the pattern and the cartoon she wanted to st.i.tch on a piece of paper. The cartoon represented the themselves(Jane and Harry).
Since she didn't have much time, Teresa p.r.i.c.k her fingers a few times and when the final products were produce, Teresa's fingers were full with bandages. She slept late for a few days so she had crazy eye bags. But she was willing
...
When she took it to school, her friends were jealous that she had the talent and the patience to do stuff like this. While some were jealous of Jane and Harry to have a friend like Teresa. One of her friend said, ' Teresa how can you have the patience for st.i.tching this, I did mine just for a day and I gave up, It's so hard to st.i.tch and it take too much time.'
Teresa reply, 'Yup, it really eats up my time, I even slept late to finish thr in time, but even it is tough, I still needed to complete it cause I want to give them a meaningful and a unique gift which no one else can get it and it is the only one that exists on earth.'
After listening to Teresa's answer they were stunned and they felt that Teresa treated friends.h.i.+p seriously and truthfully. Teresa wanted her friends to be happy.
When Teresa gave it to Harry, he was happy and he attached it to his pencil case and said 'Thanks I will treasure this forever.' while Jane hanged it to her bag. Jane also thanked Teresa and asked Teresa, 'Why did you waste your time... But to tell the truth It is very cute and it really resembles me hahaha, thank you so much girlfriend!' Seeing their happy faces, Teresa knew that her hard work paid off.
...
One day, a boy from a different cla.s.s came to Teresa's cla.s.s and saw that Teresa and Harry had a close relations.h.i.+p, so he started to tease them. Teresa scolded him and asked him not to simply spread rumors. His nama was Zac and he was a friend of Teresa since middle school.
In the evening, a senior sister of Teresa ask her out to meet since they haven't meet for a long time. Teresa wanted to go but she didn't have transport. 'Let's meet next time when we have time, now I can't go out cause I don't have transport.'
Her senior sister replied, 'I will ask someone to pick you up, so don't worry about the transport, get ready by 4.30p.m. He will tell you when he reaches your home.'
