"Buckle up" I say to my little sister, Kirsti. I put the car in drive and head off. "How was your day?" I ask.
"It was great!! We watched the movie Happy Feet and then wrote a paper about him and drew a picture!!" Lucky.
" Sounds fun!!" I say. I was driving straight on the path home when I saw a construction site in the middle of the road. Hmm, I don't remember seeing this here at all and I'm positive it's the same road. Then, Kirsti noticed and started butting in with her comments like, "maybe you took the wrong road" or " just take the long way".
"Kirsti, I take this road everyday and that has NEVER been there!!" Finally, I just decide to take the back road. My mind was floating with thoughts. What was that? What is going on? There were no workers there or anything and nothing was wrong with the road!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We're lost" I say. I look behind me and see that Kirsti is asleep. Great. Now I'm in the middle of nowhere alone.
I pull out my phone and text Axle.
Me: Hey. R u busy?
Axle: um, no why
Me: I'm lost in the middle of nowhere and I think my car just ran out of gas, plus I got Kirsti in back seat.
Axle: On my way!
Me: thnks! Hurry😊😁
I sit there and wait its real quite and dark so I pull out my phone to play Angry Birds but then my phone dies. I bend down to pull out the my charger for the car, but it doesn't work since the car isn't on. And I can't get it on because it's dead. Then all of a sudden, there's a tapping on my window and someone's looking through it. I scream really loud and almost wake Kirsti. Then in realize, it's just Axle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Axles plan; he gives us a ride. We're riding in his car trying to find home, but it was as if we were going in circles. He curses under his breath. "Watch the language, we have a 5 year old" I say and I point to Kirsti who is dead asleep in the back. "5 and a half!!" She sits up and says, scaring me and Axle half to death. Then she plops back down and falls asleep again. She must have radar ears. Finally we find our way home and Axle drops us off. As I get out Axle says, " So, I got this cool new video game and I was wandering if you would...you know...um like-" I hold a finger up to him telling him to wait here. I take Kirsti inside and tuck her in and make sure she's asleep. Then I leave a note for mom on the fridge and run out the house, locking it back, and hop in the car. " Let's go!" I say.
