Did You Hear?

Summer's POV

Thankfully the summer hols just started. Now, I can do whatever I like. But what can I do at 6 pm, after dinner?

Scanning my room, I spotted my favourite art kit. I used to draw lots and lots of pictures to de-stress. I stopped after I had a computer. But...

Tentatively, I opened the kit. It had a bit of dust on top but everything looked fine.

I wanted to do a water colour painting, but I figured that my skills were a bit rusty. So I reached for a pencil and sketched instead.

I looked around my room for inspiration and my eyes found the figurine Stampy had given me. Hmm...

I started to draw Sqaishey.

Back and forth, back and forth went my pencil. My skills were a bit rusty but my love for art was there.

I didn't stop until I'd finished the whole thing. It was now 8 pm. I smiled at it proudly and placed it inside my now-empty Stampy fan folder.

"Did you hear?!" The Sam twins burst into my room very rudely. "Jeff's being adopted by Stampy!" "What?!" I turned around. "Says who?" "Says Jeff! Stampy went to visit and he got a button and played a round of Minecraft with Stampy!" Duh. I got a figurine. But...

I shrugged. "Okay. Good to see that slimeball gone." "I'm so jealous!" wailed Samantha. Hastily, I shoved the Stampy figurine, which I had sitting on the table, under my pillow.

After a bit of small talk the Sam twins went away.

I started to cry, because I really wanted Stampy for a Dad. More than that, I knew he probably wouldn't choose me because of my ADHD. I would be stuck in this hell forever.

I grabbed the sketch of Sqaishey from the folder and made a wish.

"Star shining bright in the middle of the night,
Star shining up above,
Grant me a wish to-night
Send me your care and love."

Opening the window, I let the Sqaishey sketch be carried away by the gentle summer gale.
