The Jellicle Short Stories: Victoria's Diary


Written by Jemi



Dear Diary:

Do you know what LOVE is? I think I do... Because I'm in it! I think it's this lovey dovey feeling you get when you see a Tom... Your head aches, your knees start to shake... And your heart pounds so loudly, you swear everyone can hear it. For me, that wonderful Tom is Mistoffelees. I mean, how can you get over his sweet face, adorable looks, and kind heart... I just wish he could see how much I love him...
Love Always, Victoria

Dear Diary,

I'M IN LOVE! You won't believe what went on today! I think I have to describe it! It all started with an innocent ballet practice...

"Hey Vicki!" Jemima called.
Victoria came out of the split she was holding and smiled.
"Hey, Jem, what's up?" she said.
"Nothing much... I just came back from a date with Plato and I saw you over here, so I came to say 'hello!'" Jemima replied.
"Oh," Victoria responded. Before she could speak, Mistoffelees walked over to the two of them. Victoria's heart began to pound and she felt her cheeks flush bright red.
"Hello Jemima... Victoria," he said.
"Hey Misto," Jemima began, "What brings you here?"
"Just stopping by to say 'hello'... And I guess... Say 'goodbye.'" he said.
Jemima smiled. "Bye Misto!" she replied, and Victoria waved. Then, Victoria released a breath she didn't even realize she was holding.
"Vicki!" Jemima exclaimed. "Why didn't you talk to him? I know you like him..." she said.
Victoria sighed. "I know... I just can't!"
Jemima smiled. After a few more minutes of chatting, the two said their 'goodbyes' and Jemima scampered off, leaving Victoria alone.
Little did they know, but Mistoffelees had been eavesdropping from a nearby pipe that he happened to stumble upon.
"Vicki likes me?" he thought to himself. "WOW!"
He then noticed that Victoria was alone, dancing again. Quietly, he snuck up behind her.
"Hey, Vicki!" he said. The white Cat gasped and lost her balance, falling back into Misto's arms. Her cheeks turned pink and she quickly moved away.
"H-Hello, M-M-Misto," she stuttered. "T-Thanks for s-saving me," she added.
"No problem... It's an honor to save such a beautiful Cat," he said.
Victoria looked at him curiously, and he pulled her close to him.
"Victoria..." he began, "I love you... I always have." And with that said, he kissed her tenderly. Her heart raced and she felt like flying! He gently pulled away and she smiled...

So diary... I guess you never know about some toms...
Love Always, Victoria
