   Short Story!!
Okay, so for English we had to do a story with including all five types of conflict! ((Character vs. Self, Character vs. Character, etc.))

I loooove to write! I'm not a nerd...but anyways~

So then here's my story...it had to be one page so it's kind of short...I think
<3 <3 <3

Dear Miko,

Florida here is great! My grandma is a bit dry in humor, and too much of a cheek-pincher, but I love her anyways. Disney World is surprisingly fun! How’s Maine back home? Cold? Haha! Sorry, I’ll give you a souvenir! I miss you a lot. Write back soon.

Love Always,

Chad

Miko sighed happily. Her boyfriend, Chad, had recently gone to Florida for a short summer vacation, and Miko missed him so much. She grabbed her favorite hello kitty pen and a clean sheet of paper.

The pen hovered slightly on the paper, and she strained her brain to write the right words.

Come on…it’s just your boyfriend…no need to get worked up over nothing. She thought to herself.

“Augh!!!” Miko screamed out.

“What is it honey?” Her mother called out from the kitchen.

Her cheeks reddened at her sudden outburst. “Umm…nothing Mom.”

She closed her eyes. This wasn’t that hard to write a simple letter…right? Miko took a deep breath, and let the words flow to her hand, as her pen scribbled words on the paper.

After a few hours, she was done. “Mom, I’m going to the post office to deliver a letter!” Miko called out, slipping on her light windbreaker.

“Sweetie,” Her mom said with a tone of concern in her voice. “The post office closes in a half hour.”

“Oh crap!!” Miko yelled out, rushing out the door, in a faster pace. It was Friday, and the Post Office didn’t open on the weekends.

Miko’s mom heard the door open again.

“Forgot the letter!” Miko called out before closing the door again.

Miko ran on the sidewalk, and stopped immediately when she saw a group of skaters blocking her way. This was so not her day.

“Um excuse me,” Miko said a bit timidly. “Can you please get out of the way?”

They looked at the girl clutching the letter, and laughed, then went back to their skating, ignoring the girl.

She narrowed her eyes, but then a light bulb went off in her head. “Over there!! LOOK! IT’S FREE FOOD!!!” Miko pointed off into a different direction and the skaters whipped their heads around and ran off into another direction.

“Hehe, perfect,” She giggled as she realized that she was going to miss delivering her love letter. She rushed off into the next corner.

There was a pedestrian crosswalk, and unfortunately it was in a red light. Miko stopped as she jogged into place. “Come on,” She muttered. Cars whizzed by as she waited. And waited. And waited.

“CHANGE YOU STUPID LIGHT OR I SWEAR I WILL-” The light changed into a person walking, and passerby’s looked at her with a little bit of fear mixed in with pity, and a little bit of surprise that such a nice-looking girl could act so vicious.

But Miko didn’t pay attention. She needed to get there. She kept running at full speed, and thanked to herself that she was in Track Team.

She heard thunder rumble overhead, and soon felt little drops of rain. “OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!” Miko cried out, frustrated. But she kept running, not caring if her shoes were going to be painted a new mud color by the time she got home.

The post office was in sight, but as soon as she reached it, her heart sank.

It said closed.

The rain poured harder, and Miko dropped the letter to the floor, soaking it wet. Her hard work for nothing. The words that she had chosen so carefully were going to be wasted, all for no-

“Miko?” Miko turned around to see Chad, holding an umbrella and looking at her with surprise.

“What?! But how are you back?!” Miko asked in shock. “I only got your letter!”

“Did you check the date on that? I wrote that letter a few weeks ago.”

“I don’t care anyways!” She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug. “I missed you so much!”

Chad chuckled. “Me too.”

<3 <3 <3

So how was it? Bad? Good? Gad? ((Bad and good mixed together ))

I really had to be really brief since it could only be a page ...but I'm happy with how it turned out~!

Oh yeah, and I'm thinking of making a manga out of this. If I feel determined enough.

Always And Forever Writing Either Love or Vicious Vampire,
