Chapter 8: Violet Beauregarde
Erica's POV:
"Where's Charlie?" Was the first thing I've asked as soon as I got home from work. "He's still outside." Aunt said tasting the cabbage soup she's cooking to check if the flavors are palatable. "Why, dear?" "Beacause Mr. Griffith gave is our salary today. And so with that, I bought him a Wonka bar at once for another try!" I happily said as I show them the delicious chocolate bar.
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Aunt said before I gave her half of my salary. "Oh, thank you sweetie." "You're welcome, Aunt Bucket. But don't tell him, I want it a surprise." I cautioned as they all nodded in agreement. I am so excited what my cousin's reaction will be. I just hope this Wonka bar that I had which has a chocolate bar inside has a golden ticket along with it.
Then, the door opened, and in Charlie with a newspaper in his hand. I immediately sequester the candy bar behind me. "Hey kiddo, where have you been?" I asked. "Outside, searching for news related about that Golden Ticket-- which I have." Charlie replied, waving the newspaper from referral. "The third Golden Ticket has been found." He added as he handed Uncle the newspaper.
"All right, let's see who found it!" Said Grandpa Joe, luring Uncle to start reading it. "Third Golden Ticket was found by Ms. Violet Beauregarde." Uncle read as I immediately turn the television on, and the news is right exact about the lucky founder straight from Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
And on the television, shows a blonde girl in a bob haircut with bangs, and so as her mother standing by her side. Both wearing the same outfit with the same color; pink. And they were in the trophy room. "These are just a few of the two hundred and sixty-three trophies my Violet has won." Said Ms. Beauregarde proudly, well, of course every mother or father who had children that have won trophies, etc. would be so extremely proud of them. But blimy, two hundred and sixty-three trophies?! There's no doubt that she is good. But she kinda scares me a bit by the way how she chewed her gum in an aggressive way. I just can't help but feel the cringe of utter horror.
"I'm a gum chewer mostly, but when I heard about these ticket things, I laid off the gum, switch to candy bars." Said Violet Beauregarde while chewing her gum. "She's just a driven young woman. I don't know where she gets it." Said Ms. Beauregarde. "I'm the junior world champion gum chewer. This piece of gum I'm working on right now, I've been chewing on for three months soild. That's a record." Said Violet Beauregarde boastfully. After she said it, I've felt nauseated. Yeah, I know boasting sometimes wasn't all that bad, if it's about that chewing gum inside your mouth for three months, I would definitely not boast about it. It can make people sick.
"Oh lord." I muttered. This is just extremely unpleasant. Now I don't think that I can listen to the rest from her but I must, for a little bit... information. "Of course, I did have my share of my trophies. Mostly baton." Boasted Ms. Beauregarde. Now that's more better to boast about than that disgusting three months old chewing gum. "So this one kid's gonna get a special prize? Better than all the rest? I don't care who the other four are. That kid-- it's gonna be me." Said Violet in full of confidence as if like she's hundred percent sure about. 'Don't get your confidence get over the top little girl because it could be so extremely dangerous.' I thought, feeling a bit pity towards that little girl who loves chewing a gum as her daily habit.
"Tell them why Violet." Ms. Beauregarde urged her daughter. "Because I'm a winner." Violet said. "What a beastly girl." Said Grandma Josephine in repulse. I nodded, couldn't agree more. "Despicable." Grandma Georgina added. "You don't know what we're talking about." Grandpa George told her as she looks at him in confusion. "Dragonflies?" Gandma Georgina said innocently making me giggle.
'Oh, Grandma Gerogina.' I thought still gigging, when all of a sudden, the reporter started talking again. "Wait, this just in! The fourth Golden Ticket has been found by a boy named Mike Teavee."
What?!
