"Ben get over here" I heard my mother say. I walked outside and I was amazed and shocked of what I saw. My dads car was on fire! Burning piece by piece. " what happened?" I asked in a confused voice. " we'll know one saw nothing so we don't know!" Shouted someone standing near the car. I examined the voice and I realised it was my friend Brandon. Some of my other neighbours appeared out of the smoky air. " I was out in my yard when it happened but I'm as blinned as a bat. I only smelled the smoke!" Said aunt cath. She is old but she can crack people up." And I called those pesky cops that did NOTHING but call the fire fighters cause they are CHICKEN, im fed up with this neighbour hood" mrs Ryan yelled. She has anger management and her sisters dont take her to anger management classes, they are lazy and all her sisters do is sit on their butts and watch 7 news everyday because one of them has a crush on the news reporter. But they came out of their house carrying and iPad mini. And guess what....... They have foxtel go which means they can watch it on the iPad. "Hi guys whats with the smoke machines i cant see. Ben remember to take your pills bye!" They said at the same time. SEE what I MEAN, they own a medical store and make me take $2 pills because they said i have better focus with them. I want to run away from this life but i can't. Oh wait I can but anyway i went to school that morning and i was late (as usual). But I am a good student. " what's today's excuse you accidentally flushed yourself in the toilet?" Laughed Mr Robson. " car fire" I answered. " that is the lamest excuse I've heard since i met you" he said. " but its all true I've got a letter from my mum" I said slamming it on his desk. " you've got attitude my boy. Well that just earned you time inside" he said in a relaxed voice. Later that day we had a maths test and i got an F for the first time. " how could you get and F, thats just unlike you dude, why?" He whispered to me. " dads car was up in flames, what do you expect me to stop thinking about it?" I whispered loudly. " Ahhhh Ben now we are talking? That's bad isnt it? Extra 5 minutes." He said. And you to Brandon". " ok" Brandon replied in a exhausted kind of voice. In detention, Brandon just kept on staring at me. I did some sign language. I said : "why are you staring at me?" " you got me in here" he replied. " you started talking!!" I replied. " your butt is bigger than stone" I said. I did that for some laughs but Brandon banged on the table.
Bang!!!!! "What was that!!!!!!" Yelled Mr Robson. "
Brandon just exploded" I replied. " Ben be quiet, Brandon you have an extra 10 minutes with me. Ben just get out of here." he yelled. I ran over to the locker room and grabbed my bag and my iPad bag and ran out. " wow these Nikes help me run better" i told myself. And I reached the school gates. Today i had to walk home because of dads car. He is the only one in the family who has a car. Mum never had a license, she was focused on school more and when her mum (grandma) asked her if she wanted to drive she said: " driving is rubbish from the trash can". My mum is weird i know. I can't change her, she is dads responsibility. Obviously he married her in the first place so what have i got to do with it. Anyway i turned the next corner to froff BLVD. I saw my house on the corner. It is a modern old cottage. It stands out, that's why I never get lost. " BEN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN" yelled dad. " detention" I replied. I knew it, I'd get into trouble by dad, he would tell mum and i would get in trouble again by mum. It happens a lot in this family. " why?" He asked. I came running up to him. " we'll, apparently i have attitude" I said sarcastically. " I hate your teacher ben, just go to the living room and have some fun" he said smiling. Ok I did not predict that to happen. It was awkward but awesome. I grabbed the remote off the arm of the couch. I flicked through the channels. " ahhhh NOTHING'S ON" I yelled. I get angry sometimes when things dont go my way. I can't help it. I think I've got anger management but my parents say i don't. I guess im just an angry person. I switched it on channel 5, the news channel. A picture of a scary man came up on the news. "Aaahhhhhhahhahhhhhahahhhh" I screamed. I almost had a heart attack. My mind was going crazy. Bang bang BANG!!!! Someone was at the door. I ran past the hallway to my bedroom and up to the door. I opened it and there he was. A lazy, upsetting, best-friend. It was Brandon. " hey dude trampoline?" I asked. "Im am here to bash you" he said. He pulled back his fist and punched thin air. He missed. I did a spin kick and got him right on the side of his knee. He fell over grabbing his knee. He started sobbing. Sobbing because i broke his leg at my house in front of my dad. " what was that FOR" dad screamed. " he punched me so I defended myself" I answered. " againest what? Your 1 foot bigger than him!!!!" My dad said. Ok I got a bit scared i just watched something scary on the news. " just go inside" he said picking up Brandon. I felt kind of bad. Dad was right, Brandon wouldn't have hurt me, he would have punched me but that's it. I went inside and watched that scary news thing. " hello it's Mike Thompson. Today's report is a scary man who has a flamethrower who is constantly burning things. Know one knows why. If you see this man contact crime stoppers 005 789 090." The news reporter explained. " wow, but seriously he won't attack me. Wait he might, maybe Murphy's law will take over. " his name is FLAMER and be careful he attacks New York City and Froff Blvd. " that's where I LIVE." I yelled. Mum and dad heard and they came running in. " what in the world happened here!!!!" Dad said. " a man called FLAMER attacks our strreeeet and New York. Im scared" I said as fast a light. " hahahahahaha" they both laughed. I just sighed and went up to my bedroom. I could still here them laughing their heads off. " they don't understand" I said to my self. I heard them coming up. They opened the door. " Ben why are you telling fibs or jokes or whatever?" Dad asked. " im not, (sigh) go look on the planner and watch the recorded channel 5" I said. They left the room. I had some time to escape out the window and hear what they say with my camera spike. I tied a rope around my waist and the other end to the window edge I glided down like a captured person escaping. I got my camera spike watcher and sat down. " Ben you were right but seriously he won't attack us, everyone in this neighbour hood likes us" dad explained. I climbed up the rope and fell into my bedroom just in time so they didnt see me climb up. They opened the door and as soon as they saw me they left the room. " yes, finally peace" I said to myself. I walked outside the house and saw to people standing out the front of Brandon's house. It was Brandon and his father. Oh no i thought. I knew his dad will probably go off at me for accidentally braking Brandon's leg. " hey leg breaker" Brandon yelled. " well you punched me so I defended myself" I answered. " Is that true Brandon? Your grounded for 2 weeks, sorry this happened Ben and make sure to not break his leg next time though!" He said. He can be a grumpy sort of bloke but I guess he had a good day at work. I said that because he gets really mad at work. Im so lucky today, I wondered how I got so lucky? I thought. "Die egg DIE." " what?" I said. Mrs Ryan came out and smashed a egg to the ground. "DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!" she said over and over. " hello mrs Ryan got to go" I said and ran in the living room, I wanted to see what happened so I opened the window. Next she made a sandwich out the front of her sisters house. Then she did something I did not expect, she brought out like 30 more sandwiches and threw it at our house. " DIE HOUSE DIE!!!!!!!" She said over and over. One landed right on my window. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" I laughed. I couldn't stop laughing. Like how could you not laugh at it. She is the funniest ladie I have ever met. " Ben what are you......." I chopped him off. " look bro" I said laughing. He laughed as hard as I did. Then he said something that kind of made me stop. " but you know we have to clean this though" he said. " yeah fairly good point" I said but still had a little giggle. After that it was night. I told dad about what happened with the egg thing. " how funny was it ben?" Mum said. " so funny you would of wet your pants" I answered. That night I laid on my bed and thought of all the funny things that happened today but I thought of some of the bad stuff to, and it was a lot to think about and I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night. I heard a sound. Beep beep beep beep beep beep!!!!!! I heard it coming from my closet. I opened the door and saw 100 sticks of dynamite, that's roughly how much. 87654 that's what I saw on one side of the dynamite. Then I grabbed a chair and smashed the window with it. I jumped out and fell terribly to the ground. My elbow felt really sore, it felt like it was broken. I pushed myself up to my feet. I ran into the back door and went into my room(or what was left of my room). Everything was broken, it was either smashed or almost smashed. I saw a little flame out the broken window, and a scary man popped up, FFRRRRREFFFRRRRRRRRFFFR, the flame thrower burned what was left of my room. I looked at the face in horror, IT WAS FLAMER. " GO AWAY!!" I yelled. " GET OUT OR YOU WILL BE THE ONE ON FIRE" he screamed. I ran out of the room to my parents room and woke them up. " Ben turn of the light" dad said. "What light?" I asked. There was FLAMER. He ran up to us and we got out past him. He pointed the flame thrower at us while he was running, and then he fired it, we smashed out the window. We landed on the grass, we heard a massive explosion behind us, it was our house. It was about to fall over. " run!!!!!!" I yelled. We ran as fast as we could. Dad and mum made it to across the road but I tripped over. The house fell and a piece of wood fell on my head, everything went black. I was knocked out, the moment I woke up was when the emergency services came, " Ben are you ok?" Mum asked. "I guess" I replied. " what happened why did our house fall? Dad asked. " One word: FLAMER" I explained. " Huh? That guy?" Dad said. " yep it's true, didn't you see him?" I asked. " Well sort of" mum said. " hello what's going on, I'm sick of these smoke machines!" The sisters said. " what the...... There are NO smoke machines!" I yelled. "Well what happened then smarty pants!" The sisters said sarcastically. "Well if weren't paying attention OUR HOUSE FELL DOWN!!!!" I screamed. " ok ok sorry!" They said and went inside. Well after that something happened that I did not suspect, Brandon's parents invited us to stay at their house till our house is rebuilt. What a nightmare, me and Brandon are enemies now, and now I'm staying AT his HOUSE!! But maybe we might be friends again I thought. We moved into their family garage, they had a BMW M3 GTS which is a really cool car. " Have fun you guys!" Brandon's dad said. " I hate him" mum whispered to me. " I know he is weird" I said. " hey let's drive his car" dad said. " yeah good idea" I added. I sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed the keys, I ran back to the garage. " Got the keys guys" I said. Dad, mum, and me went into the car. Dad put the keys through the key hole and started up the car. We are a really cheeky family sometimes. We drove out of the garage doing 100 miles per hour. It got to 100 in 10 seconds! " wow cool car!" I said. " yeah but we should go back before they notice that the car is gone and we are gone" mum explained. "Yeah Ben its time" dad said. "Ok I heard!!!!"'I said. They both started to laugh. When we got back we parked the car into the garage and sat down on our sleeping beds, I played my iPad because that was the only thing I managed to get out before the house fell down. Knock KNOCK knock!!!!! I opened the garage door and saw a police officer. " hello we find out how your house fell down, but before I tell you here is some of your belongings, ok now there was some hidden dynamite at the back of your house, someone lit it and it blew up the back of your house and made it tip over, goodbye now." The police officer said. "Ok......" I said. He left his gun behind on the ground, I picked it up and put it in my pocket. " sweet it fits my pocket" I said. " well it won't anymore " dad said taking it away from me. " very funny give it back finders keepers!" I said in a sweet voice. " nope a gun is to dangerous for a 10 year old" he said. " no a 2 year old shot one" I said. " that was a prank photo ben people do that for comedy!" He said. " YOU GOT OWNED BY YOUR OWN FATHER HAHAHAHA" he laughed. " we'll deerrr your like 50 you old man" I said. He hates it when I call him an old man, literally hates it. "I'll kill you" he said chasing me around the room. Mum just sat there laughing. Bang crassssshhhhhhhh BOOOOOMMMMM. I heard lots of crashing. Suddenly a couch smashed through the roof. The house is falling down. "Don't panic don't panic" I said to myself. The couch was burning down to dust.
BOOMM!!! One part of the house fell on our
garage. Luckily the window bit fell on us so it smashed the top of us and knocked us out. Everything was black. I woke up and I helped my parents up. Everything was blurry, I walked slowly to the living room, Brandon was lying up againest the wall. " Brandon are you ok?" I asked. "Yes kind of, I heard a massive boom then the house collapsed!" He said. I picked him up and carried him into the garage, I saw Brandon's parents made it to safety, they were seated next to my parents. " Is Brandon ok?" They asked. "He will be fine!" I explained. "Is that footsteps I hear?" I asked. Around the corner FLAMER stood there. FRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! " Run!!!!!" I yelled. Everyone was running, running as fast as they could, screaming as well. We all ran with sweat dripping off our face. "He's catching up" dad yelled. Ok this was like the horror movie 'Friday The 13th' but instead the horror is chasing us with a flame thrower! I pulled out the gun that I found and tried pulling the trigger. I was too scared to shoot. But I managed to pull it. He stopped running and walked to us. As I fired it, it hit the roof and a massive peice of wood fell on him. The floor fell and so did him. We ran out of the house and ran to Mrs Ryan's yard. BANG BOOOMMMMM!!!!!! They whole house exploded up
in flames. Now me and Brandon were homeless, but FLAMER was gone. We stayed at a 5 star hotel till both of our houses are rebuilt, it was nice in the hotel. Free food and lots of lollies, everyone at school were kind of envious. " ahhhh this is the life" I said. Knock knock KNOCK!!!! I went to open the door and when I opened it I shaked in horror. IT WAS FLAMER!!
