Short Story 11: I Am a Notebook

 


Short Story 11: I Am a Notebook

.

My name is "Nota," a small notebook with a green cover and delicate leaf patterns etched on it. I was born in a paper factory and now serve as a loyal companion to Naurah, a spirited Year 5 student. Every day, Naurah fills my pages with notes, creative ideas, and tiny drawings that bring her imagination to life. I feel special, as if I am a secret keeper of her dreams and thoughts.


But not all days are joyful. One morning, Naurah lost me. In her haste, she remembered leaving me in the school library. I lay on a corner desk, alone and worried that someone might take me and not return me. I understood how precious I was to Naurah.


A few days later, a librarian found me and delivered me to the school office. When Naurah saw me there, her face lit up with joy. "Nota, you're back!" she exclaimed, hugging me tightly. But I noticed something else, tears welled up in her eyes as she flipped through my pages. It turned out that I held a heartfelt note she had written to her mother: "Thank you for always supporting my dreams."


Only then did I realize why Naurah treasured me so deeply. I wasn’t just a notebook; I was the keeper of her secrets and a companion on her journey. Though I know that one day, my pages will be filled, I am happy to be a part of Naurah’s life.


My story may seem simple, but it holds deep meaning for my beloved owner.
