The Little Princess
(nothing about a princess . LOL)
not a true story . haha
"Little princess , you are not going to leave the house ! " , screamed my mother. I blocked out all the naggings and screaming. I just needed time on my own. I rushed out of the house , bringing my skateboard along. I thought it could make me relax a little .
I was the youngest of my family. Family and friends would call me 'little princess' . It all happened after playing a major role in a disney princess play. I did not like the name at all . I hated being called 'girly' .
Skateboarding had always been my passion. It started as a hobby. I picked up skateboarding at the age of twelve and found this sport to be really fun and entertaining. It was irritating as people would make fun of me for I am a girl. Skateboarding was mainly for guys. I did not stop skateboarding as i hoped to go "pro" one day and prove them wrong. There was a time i felt embarrassed. So many people were looking at me as I boarded the train. I kept my spirits up and ignored them.
I looked out the window. My friends was so lucky to have such a beautiful scenery.
"You can stay here for as long as you like" , he said .
"But you might have to pay the bills!" , he added . i just smiled .
i closed my eyes and thought deeply. I really want to go for this skateboading competition. My mother would never agree to that idea. She thinks that skateboarding is a dangerous and inappropiate for young ladies. I almost cried hearing every single word she is saying as she crushes my dreams of becoming a professional skater . I went to the competition , ignoring the feeling of guilt inside of me.
"Heres your number" , a guy in a black tee-shirt told me. The competition was going to start in ten minutes .
I had butterflies in my stomach as I approached the ramp. Everything looked so big except for the spectators that looked like ants. I calmed myself down and took a deep breath .
"Here I go!" , I said .
I flew down the ramp and shown a few tricks. The spectators were cheering so loudly that it gave me a lot of convidence. I did a major "high-balancing" trick and it blew the spectators out of their minds.
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes. My breathing slowed down as my heart beats fast. I knew there were no chance of me winning everything. There were so many better skaters than me. I stop worrying about whether I was going to win or not. I did gave my all.
Then I heard ,
"In second place , it is , Lilah!" , my heart jumped out of my chest. Tears of joy started running down my cheecks. I felt on top of the world.
Then i saw my mother and could'nt believe my eyes. I ran to her and gave her a big hug.
"Im proud of you , little princess!" , she said .
