RIDDLE OF THE CHAPTER: What has wheels and flies, but is not anaircraft?
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" I scream as I run to the door, "Help! Someone! She's got a gun!"
Thandi steps in front of me before I make it to the door.
'Great!' my mental instincts scream, 'they're going to kill me together and no one will know.'
I panic and pick up the first thing I see, a turquoise pencil heeled boot. I hold it in front of me as I back away to the wall on the other side. I look from Thandi to Kim as I break out in a cold sweat.
'I can't die like this!' I think frantically. 'I can't die in a place I don't even know! I can't die by friends I've just made! I can't think straight, why? Why is this happening to me?!?'
"umm, Tauheedah," Thandi says looking at me with a raised eyebrow, "what are you doing?"
"I'm protecting myself! From you crazy people!"
"What are you talking about?" Kim asks stepping into the light. The "gun" is actually a gun. The kind you use to decorate cakes. Aahh! She's gonna kill me with a decorating gun!
"Tauheedah," Thandi says moving closer uncertainly.
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!!! I'm armed!"
That's the final straw, both Thandi and Kim burst into fits of laughter.
"Tauheedah, you're the craziest chick I've ever met," Kim says catching her breath. "Breathe, calm down and put the damn boot down! You could take someone's eye out!"
Haha! She thinks I'll be fooled that easily! I might have only arrived at Cayma Googlu yesterday but that doesn't mean I was born yesterday.
"No way!" I say, my voice coming out all squeaky, "you think I'll just put down the shoe and you can kill me with your murdering decorating gun and no one will know about it! Haa, that won't happen! I won't put it down!"
"Oh, Kim, you adopted a crazy," Thandi says covering her mouth to hide another laugh.
"Huh?" Kim asks scratching her head and looking at the decorating gun in her hand, "I thought we'd bake some cupcams, but then the light blew, I didn't know you're scared of decorating guns."
Slowly, piece by piece, the puzzle started to form and I realized what a complete idiot I'd made of myself.
1. Kim was about to bake cupcams(whatever that is), that's why she had the gun in her hand
2. The light blew that's why it was so dark
3. She was still holding the gun in her hand which is why she looked so scary and the decorating gun's outline was just like a normal revolver
4. She was probably just holding it up and I thought it was pointed at me
5. I'm a retard
"Ummm," I mumble, feeling uncomfortably stupid, "sorry? I guess."
That just sends them off into another fit of giggles. I sigh and drop the boot, joining them at the centre of the room, which now that my eyes have adjusted, I can see is the lounge.
"Watch out, Tauheedi! Or the decorating gun of doom will get you!" Kim says mock pointing the gun at me.
I exhale. I'm never gonna hear the end of this one.
