The day started with Abigail wanting to go out into the streets to photograph passerbyes. She lived in the Castle Apartments, so Abigail could accomplish this task with ease. She couldn’t wait to get outside and photograph the world and its beauty, especially since her uncle was coming to visit for dinner and all the world’s beauty exits while he visits. But for now, her parents continued to nag her to clean the house so it would be presentable for the guests. She reluctantly rose from her window seat and cleaned what needed cleaning. She decided her photo shoot would have to wait until after dinner.
Her cell suddenly rang and she wondered who it could possibly be. She hoped that it was someone finally asking her to hang out with them over the weekend. After Eric, she hadn’t reached back out to any of her old friends. Abigail answered the phone and talked with her chemistry lab partner. She made plans to work on Sunday to finish up the lab report and perhaps study a little if there is time left over at the end. After updating her mother on her elaborate plans for the weekend, her mother responded with happiness. She lectured Abigail on how education was the way to success and one day, her classmates would appreciate that thought. Soon enough, they would ask her to weekend parties and other social events but Abigail highly doubted any such thing would happen. Her classmates were too obsessed with becoming liked among the upperclassmen and going to their parties. Abigail knew she didn’t have the flamboyant personality needed for the upperclassman, or anyone for that matter, to notice her. Luckily for her, she has photography, Evelyn, and Lucy to make her life interesting.
Abigail Watson should perhaps have smelled something if she wanted to receive a good grade on her "lab report". I like that she is shy and possibly sightly reserve. I would like to see her come out of her shell a little more but then ave a really embarrassing moment or something of the sort.
ReplyDeleteI like Abigail a lot because of her inner monologue. It's like she processes all the information around her (the phone conversation, her mom's lecture, etc.) and just screens it and folds it neatly into one thought that I get to read.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more... spirit in her. I realize that the character is shy, and I like that. But it'd be funny if she was really edgy inside her head. Like... she's one of those quiet girls that when she says something it's hilarious. Maybe that's how she gets noticed down the line.
The line that particularly captivated me was "...especially since her uncle was coming to visit for dinner and all the world’s beauty exits while he visits." It makes me really curious about her uncle and also I really like the way it's worded.
I like this character so far, the development is phenomenal so far. I like how I can tell exactly how she thinks about things. Very good. Keep doing what you're doing. Sorry for the abruptness, I'm out of time.
