Author’s note- This story is written from the point of view of a pair of diamond earrings, that get lost and go on a journey trying to find the other one.
“I think it’s my special day!” I exclaimed to my friend, Jules, she’s very blingy, so I don’t get why she hasn’t gotten bought. Someone strikes my eyes, and it’s a teenage girl with her friend. Both tall and had stylish. I’m a cute pair of earrings, so hopefully I fit their taste and budget. I’ve been waiting here on this dusty old shelf ever since I can remember. Waiting for that one day; the day I get bought!
Till this day, I remember the very moment of my purchase. I felt like I’d mastered everything in the world. Now, I sit in the bathroom, next to the hand soap, body spray and lotion. It’s early in the morning and I just woke up. Bella won’t put me on in a while because she gets up really late. So I wait; As I here, I start a conversation with the body spray. I think his name is Justin Bieber? Considering that’s what it says on his side. A cute plastic flower tops of the lid of his bottle. O quick, everyone into position, Bella’s coming! She opened up the bathroom door with a squeaky noise coming from the hinges. Bed-head, make-up smeared, and pink pajamas. If only the boys at her school could see this! She picked me up and plopped me into her ears. While she was brushing her ratty hair, I got caught in her hair and she brushed one of me right out. Onto the floor I went, I sat there next to the rug and a couple of lost bobby pins.
I thought I’d be lost forever! When I was sure Bella had left for school, I got up and wondered how I would ever see my other half again. We are simply not a pair alone, and suddenly I became very sad, until the bobby pins came over and said they would help me find my other earring. Jumping for joy, I said thank you and gave them big hugs. The three of them and I set out on our journey. We somehow managed to climb our way to the top of the bathroom counter. We asked the soap how to get to school, but he simply answered “I’ve never been”. Flashing a confused look at him, he started to explain. “I originally came from Bath and Body Works. Then Mrs. Mouradian bought me, along with my 2 brothers and sisters. My brother is in Bella’s parents bathroom, but my sister is across the counter, by Gabby’s sink. We’ve never been out of this bathroom.” “Oh gotcha,” I yelled out. Then how am I possibly supposed to get to the school?, I thought to myself.
“Maybe I should just stay here and wait for my other earring to come back.” The Justin Bieber body spray looked at me in amazement. “Wow! That’s really a great idea!” he shouted. Let’s just say he’s not the sharpest crayon in the box. While time passed, we played games and had a great time! It was getting later and I expected her to be home soon. Also I was missing my other half, considering I’ve never been away from them before. Soon Bella arrived and I became instantly excited! She came in the bathroom, but not to take the other earring off; just to go the bathroom. Thanks for getting my hopes up Bella!
When she was done going to the bathroom, she pulled up her sleeves and washed her hands. Then she put her hands up heading towards her head. I started smiling, until I saw that she was just fixing her hair. Then she put her hands on her ears and found that she was missing one. She looked at the counter, and saw that I was sitting there. She whispered to herself saying, “Oh, must have forgot to put it in.” So she took the other earring out and left the bathroom. Finally we were back together, and “you have no idea how much I missed you!” I said to my other earring. She answered, “me too!”
