Novel & Cerita A Short Walk In A Pretty Town

' I could hear Callie laugh at me and felt my cheeks turning red with embarrassment. I followed Lucas out and we started to walk to what I assumed was his car. He opened the back door to me and when I got in I realized someone else was driving, Lucas came around the car and sat next to me and the driver started the car to drive away, I noticed the driver eyeing me from the mirror with a strange looking smile upon his face but thought nothing of it. I watched out the window as we started to drive through this little town, noticing it was completely surrounded by the woods. There were people walking along, enjoying the start of the new day, laughing and talking. I noticed a little coffee shop

I said while walking out of my room and down the stairs. "Not at all, I can admire this town's beauty better while walking." Maddie said. We walked out of the front door and start our short journey. "This place is beautiful. I wonder how long it's been here." Maddie said while looking around. "I'm actually not sure. To be honest this place kind of feels familiar. Almost as if I've been here before." I knew it wasn't possible to have been here before but as we walk towards the festival, the feeling kept growing.

To my surprise, everyone except for Diana, April, and David, who were still trying to catch up on sleep, decided to join us for the tour. The town was a picturesque delight, nestled amidst a blanket of pristine white snow that sparkled under the morning sun. It was a small town, its charm lying in its simplicity and the warmth of its residents. The main street was lined with a medley of shops - a quaint bookstore filled with classics and bestsellers, a bakery with its window adorned with a variety of pastries, a vintage clothing store that seemed to hold stories of its own, and a small diner that seemed to be a popular local hangout.

And I said nothing either way, choosing instead to take the quiet time to critically appraise our surroundings. The driver had purposely slowed the sedan down to a gentle crawl, almost as if he had been instructed to let me fully take in the sights of the town. It was a beautiful, bubbling townish area humming with life. The streets were lined with local shops, their colorful awnings sheltering couples walking arm-in-arm. Groups of young, laughing kids were chasing each other across the wide dirt paths adjacent to the main road. The houses were charming structures with wraparound porches and vibrant flower boxes sitting on every windowsill.

Not yet. "I'll avoid them," I promised. "Good. Now go. Try not to accidentally terrify any humans." The walk to town took two hours at a normal human pace, agonizingly slow after a week of moving at enhanced speed. I forced myself to maintain the leisurely stride, to breathe at a normal rate, to suppress the silver light that wanted to extend outward, sense everything around me. The town, when I finally reached it, was exactly as Zane had described. Small, quiet, the kind of place where everyone knew everyone. Strangers stood out.

The scenery there was gorgeous as though it came right out from a painting. They walked for almost two hours before finally reaching a busy small town. The town was not huge, but it was bustling with people. It looked like a bustling street from afar as there were assorted food stalls by the streets with some selling candies and clay dolls. Both of them started to get hungry after the two hours walk. Justin touched his pocket and felt troubled. Money from the World Universe could not be used here. What should they do? What made matters worse were the townspeople pointing and judging his and Lily’s clothing, making things rather awkward.

"Wouldn't it be better to take the picture like this?" Aveline paused, then sneered. "What's so great about a hand?" She pulled her hand away and walked ahead on her own. Lucas rubbed his fingertips, but he didn’t get angry. "You're going the wrong way," he said, turning and walking in the opposite direction. Aveline, fuming, turned around and followed him. Arthur Town, a quaint and tranquil locale, was bustling as the workday drew to a close, with more pedestrians on the streets and small vendors lining the sidewalks.

Upon hearing Shirley changing the subject, Tina and Camille naturally agreed. The group walked slowly along the roadside. The advantage of a small town was its tranquility, free from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Everything here moved at a slower pace, several beats behind. As Shirley walked, she introduced some local specialties and snacks. Now and then, a few teenagers in their teens whizzed past on skateboards on the street, their youthful appearance eliciting various forms of envy from the three of them. They found a well-reputed restaurant, chatting and eating at the same time, life was simply blissful.

* That was his message to me. Later could mean anytime in my books. I wonder whether he wants me to call or he will do the honors. I prefer he calls honestly. When we finally make it into town, mom decides that it is a good idea to drive around a bit and without making a stop first. I take that time to admire the sight of the mountain ahead, peering down at the town. Buildings are a little close to each other, leaving very little room for places to walk in between. With it being in the middle of the day, I am not surprised to see a little more activity than yesterday. We arrived quite late yesterday. Therefore, I didn't see a lot of people walking outside.

He was ruthless and so insensitive! Dearest Miss Pretty: You're wrong when you thought I did not notice the change of your style. You actually looked good in your outfit that time but I guess you don't have to change just for me to like you. You just don't know how adorable you are just simply being you.
