Krystal had been playing guitar for about 5 years and was great at it, so I decided I'd go to her to start learning. I called her and she said I could come over. I had all my chores done then went out to find my mom, who was watering the garden, to ask if I could go.
"Hey, mom, could I please go to Krystal's for a little bit? She said she needs some help with her science homework." I lied. "I suppose, but be back before supper." "Yes ma'am." I scurried off to get on my bike and head off to Krystal's.
I made it there and flew upstairs. Krystal had 2 guitars since sometimes her brother played with her. We both sat down on her bed and she handed me a guitar.

"Wow, I feel like Eddie Van Halen!" I exclaimed.
"Oh yeah? Check this out." Krystal said, before playing the opening riff of 'Panama' by Van Halen.
I looked at her, astonished.

"Alright, I guess that's it for today." Krystal said. I had learned all the chords and would practice them again when I came over tomorrow. Then, when I had them down pat, I could start learning to play songs. I would practice more today, but it was 5pm and I had to get home, or else my mom would scold me (and probably ground me) and I wouldn't be able to go anywhere for weeks. I gave Krystal her guitar back then ran out of the house to get on my bike.
I made it home about 5:15 and my mom was just starting dinner. "Did you help Krystal get her homework figured out?" she asked when I walked in the door. "Sure did." "Good job, I'm proud of you. Now, could you help me peel these potatoes, please?" "Yes, ma'am." As we were peeling potatoes, my dad walked in. "Where have you been, young lady?" he asked in a joking way. "She was helping Krystal with her homework, I told you this, Paul." my mom, who can't take a joke, replied, annoyed. "It's okay, mom. He was only joking." I said and she didn't reply.

We were now sat at the table about to eat. We had chicken drumsticks, green beans, and my mom's famous potato salad. It was wonderful.
I went upstairs to wash up and get ready for bed. I couldn't stop thinking about playing that guitar.
