The Stolen Book

The Book Thief

Chaper 1

" I need my book! Augh! I can't seem to find it. Hmm.....probably I should magically put something outrageous that people will be aware of it. It may have some delightful taste, but cursed, too. If you read the book, you'll pay the price! But don't worry, it won't last for long............"

It was early in the morning, my dad was making breakfast. I was still sleeping until my little brother jumped on me.

"Stop it! Stop it! Alright! I'm up!" I shouted.

"Alice! Mom said that she's going to visit our aunts house for a week." Bobby announced.

"Alright! And let's go get ready for breakfast, I'm starving." I said with a sick look on my face.

We ran downstairs to go to the bathroom. To get ready for breakfast. I went first to take my shower. As u turned on the water, I heard a din coming in my house. It hurted my ears that I was about to go deaf. So I turned on the water, hit water. I love taking hot showers, it keeps me warm and comfortable. Then I started singing.

"Oh brother. Here we go again." he said sardonically.

"Oh hush! You don't know how it's like to be a girl." as I teased him.

"Mmmm......hurry up! I want to eat my breakfast!" he yelled.

I ignored what he said and went back to what I was doing. I finished washing myself,  got the towel to dry myself. I was thinking at after breakfast I should hang out with my best friend, Eric. He always take me everywhere and I love his sister, Stacey. But the bad thing abour her she's a little deaf, but still can hear us. She's 6 and she sometimes use sign language. I started to practice that just incase someone has a problem. Their parents are around the world for a long time and still didn't come back, but at least they have their aunt and grandma with them. I got out and let my brother have a turn.

"Really?! Do you have to take that long in there?! Girls these days......." Bobby said as  he scoffs.

"Oh shut up!" I yelled as I pushed him aside.

I ran as quickly as I could to put my clothes on and everything. I ran downstairs to the kitchen and started eating. I was so ravenous when I tried to eat the whole thing. My brother better hurry up or I'm going to eat his. I'm so ravenous that I want to eat a giant chicken until I stood up and went to the fridge. I rook a big apple and gently took a big mouth bite. It was juicy and sweet. It was so big, I couldn't eat another bite and use it for dinner but instead I wrapped it in a clean, white napkin. To save it for later.

"Dad? What are you doing?" I asked curiously.

"Oh! I'm making a big bird house, so birds can have their own home. But I would love to keep a bird in here." he explained.

"Cool! I always wanted a pet! Thank you, Daddy! Thank you!" I said excitedly and gave him a hug.

"Um Daddy? Can I go hang out with my friends? Please?" I implored.

"Hmmmm......I don't know dare......" he said.

"Oh please! Daddy please! I won't get harmed, I got it!" as I implored more.

"Hmm...I don't see why not. Go ahead, but don't come later than 9, ok?" he stated.

"Ok daddy!" as I gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Oh food! I'm starving!" Bobby yelled.

"Oh wow. You took that long in the bathroom and I thought boys are the quickest." I said sardonically.

"Shut up sis. And go!" he yelled.

"Ok. Whatever you say crybaby."

"Waah! I'm Alice! And I wear diapers! Even though I don't change them! Oh waah!" as he tried to tantalize me.

We both started arguing.

"Alright, stop it you two! Alice fo and you eat your breakfast!" he ordered us.

I walked out and closed the door. I turned around and saw my friend, Eric and his sister Stacey.

"Hey!" I said to them.

"Hey! Stacey, say hi." Eric said.

"Hi......" she said softly. She's shy too.She's scared of colossal things.

We all walked together as a unison and went to see ship on the deck.

"Daddy, is Stacey weird?" she asked shyly.

"No you're not. You're normal like everybody else and I love you the way you are, baby girl." Eric said as he left her up.

"Yeah, I love you the way you are, too. No matter what people say, we both love you." I said as I hugged her.

She started to smile and started to cry. I hugged and told her that everything will be alright. She's like a sister to me and I will always love her. All of a sudden, we heard a big ruckus and a lot ofdin everywhere and I don't want Stacey to become deaf again. Instead, I gave her my earmuffs that I kept in my bag for a long time. Then I put it on her ears. Finally, we all saw who's the suspect was but it was unknown. Then a book fell off from his hands.

"Hey! Let's see if we can take that book! Probably it could be mysterious." Eric said.

"Ok, but a quick look that's it!" I said.

"Alright, alright, granny." he said as he tried to tease me.

I scoffed.

Then we all walked towards the book. Eric picked it up and opened it.

"Wow! I should borrow this book! It's so cool and realistic. I got to have it!" he said with a suprised look on his face.

"Well.......I don't see why not. Hey Eric! What time is it?" I asked.

"It's 7:59" he answered.

"You still want to take us somewhere?" I asked.

"Don't ask me, ask Stacey."

"You want to go somewhere?" I asked her.

"No......I'm hungry." she answered.

I put my hand inside my bag and searched for the apple that I saved for later. I pulled it out and gave her a piece. She shoved that piece in her mouth and smiled at me.

"Apple good.....more please?" she asked.

I gave her the whole apple and enjoyed it.

"Thank you Alice....." she said.

"You're welcome." I said.

"Eric! How long are you going to be in that book?" I asked curiously.

"I don't know, but this book is interesting and aspiring." he said.

"Hmm. I don't think. Never mind. I'm going home. Bye!" as I hugged Stacey and waved adieu to Eric and went straight home.

As I opened the door, I walked in and ran upstairs to my room. I hopped on my bed and got out, out of the drawer. I started writing:

        Dear Diary,

         It's so obvious that a man just broke into a store and dropped a book on the ground. I want to see what's inside that book! it looks interesting and mysterious. I got to have that book!

It was night time and I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. My brother just went to bed without doing nothing. I was wondering wgen my mom is actually coming back because she can change her mind these days. Anyway, I finished brushing my teeth and used the mouthwash to makey teeth smell fresh. Then I ran upstairs and entered my room. I hopped on my bed and covered myself with my fluffy, pink blanket. I was pondering if the book is good or evil. Or adventurous! If I don't know, then who knows?
