Mia And Her Books
“Ting ting ting ting ting”, there goes the bell, and here comes Mia a nerdy girl in Berk Prep Middle School. She is a studious 12-year-old girl whose two oily curly ponytails made her look like mickey mouse. She had small beady eyes covered with a pair of big round purple spectacles. Her crooked rabbit teeth and spotty face ensured no one came near her. She wore a plain pink top and a purple polka-dot skirt. Mia would always carry a book in her left hand and was the kind of person who will be smiling energetically at the end of math class.
She entered the noisy cafeteria and sat down quietly in a corner with her head in a book. By now, she had learned to ignore those dirty looks and sit all alone. She sat there studying. She could study continuously for hours at a stretch without getting bored. She found her studies interesting. Well, that was the only thing that she ever did apart from collecting caterpillars. Mia lived in a huge bungalow with her rich but ignorant parents. Her mum was in a business of clothing accessories and her dad owned a car washing company. She didn’t have siblings, so she spent most of the time with her books and Leo, her stuffed lion.
She wasn’t interested in fooling people with fake handbags or stealing car parts. She wanted to be brave, courageous, loud, and independent like Leo. She wanted to make a different path with her hard work. She wanted to do something to make the world realize her presence. She was tired of blending in the background. When Mia realized this, she started writing. She wrote about the things that she had come across in her books. She wrote about how math can be easy and how science can be fun. She wrote about how history can be interesting and how English can be simple. She wrote about how learning is adventurous. She named the book “A Taste of Everything”.
However, nobody read or even listen to her. She still spent her time alone. She would eat alone in school and play with Leo at home. She was still treated as a disturbance by her parents. All she needed was some motivation which she found during the field trip. She sat beside the window in the bus and watched the stray dogs, pet dogs, cats, pigeons, and eagles, that was when she knew that her life was about to change.
As soon as she came back home, she started working on her new masterpiece. This time, she wrote about why birds could hear without ears and why frogs were slimy. She wrote about why the lion was the king of the jungle and why the lion respects the elephants. She wrote about why we blink and about why birds fly. Mia’s “All the Whys of the World” was a total hit. She had millions of readers. Her parents complimented and appreciated her.
Most importantly, people listened to her, people approached her. When people spoke to her, they found out how cool she was. She could make friends now. She had many friends! She no longer sat alone in the cafeteria or on the school bus. She did not get those dirty looks any longer. Her presence was no longer tolerated, it was appreciated. Mia was ecstatic! She now loved writing and wrote many more books about animals, plants, electrical gadgets, stationery, etc.
