MY VALENTINE ’ S STORY
Hello . My name is Rachel and I ’ m going to tell you a special story . Special , because it will be about love , Valentine ’ s Day and two teenagers , who were looking for happiness in their life .
It was three years ago . I was sixteen-years-old girl with big green eyes and curly brown hair . I didn ’ t have a lot of friends . I didn ’ t use to have any friends . Every day after school I was going home alone and then I was reading books , watching TV and drawing . One day , when I was painting a solar eclipse , my mum came home and said :
‘ Hello , Rachel ! Why are you sitting here alone ?’ – She hugged me . ‘ Hm , people from my class are at the cinema now .’ ‘ And why aren ’ t you with them ?’ ‘ I don ’ t like going outside , mum , and you know it ’ ‘ Possibly , but don ’ t you think it is necessary ?’
‘ What do you mean ?’ – I didn ’ t like that kind of conversation . My mum used to have a lot of friends when she was at my age . We both knew about it .
‘ You know – great memory , important friendships , and … Rachel ! Tomorrow is Valentine ’ s Day ! You can ’ t sit here with … with only yourself !’
I completely forgot about it . I promised my mum to go somewhere with somebody every Valentine ’ s Day . It was important day in our family – my birthday .
‘ Okay , okay . I asked Sue if she didn ’ t want to go to the theatre and she agreed ’. It wasn ’ t true , but my mum didn ’ t have to know about it . My mum smiled and left me alone .
