The clock Winked. 

This day was supposed to be the best day ever, But that changed after my parents said, “We are going to look at a house today!” 

  We were walking out the door to go to my soccer game. Then my mom told me we were going to look at a house. After my soccer game was over I was supposed to go to my friends b-day party and then with another friend to the mall, after the mall my aunt was supposed to pick me up and take me to the movies and drop me off at a friends house to spend the night. All that was canceled.

We went to a big house on the edge of the lake. The house was a big, brick house. I had to admit it was beautiful, and it had a great view. I asked my mom why we were moving anyway. She said she thought it was time for a change. I asked myself if I could go to the same school. She said no, it’s time to meet new people. I told her about all my friends at the other school. It didn’t work and it was final I wasn’t going to my old school. I unpacked all my stuff and stayed in my room the rest of the night. My mom asked me if I wanted dinner. I shook my head no and rolled over on my bed. Though I was really hungry. I fell into a deep sleep.  

Late that night I woke up and walked into the kitchen to get a drink. I heard some weird noises. I ignored them. Then I heard my name. I suddenly got scared. I walked in the hallway. I saw a clock. It was no ordinary clock, it was a grandfather clock. I walked away and then I heard something call my name. I turned around and the clock was looking at me and then called my name again, all of a sudden every thing was talking and moving! I ran up into my room and my lamp, my carpet, and my cup where talking to me.I felt fine after watching them and listing to them. 

  I got up and walked out of the room and walked back to the kitchen. I saw the clock an it stuck its hand out and said, “nice to meet you!” I grabbed it and shook the hand. I saw all the cups,plates,spoons,and forks jump out of the boxes and come to me. I felt fine when they came and surrounded me. I thought to my self, maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea to move. 

Today was my first day at school and I made a friend. I ran home and told my mom and she told me that I should make more friends by next week. That night I heard a noise in the hall. I walked out into the hall and saw my mother on the ground and she gasping for air. I said whats the problem. She said with her last breath, I love you. Then she died right there. I was so sad I started to cry. For the first time in my whole life I cried because somebody I loved died right in front of me. I could have helped her, but I didn’t now what to do for the first time.  

I went to school the next day and told my new friend what happened last night. She asked me what I did. I told her Just left her there. My new friend told me I could stay the weekend over at her house. So that night I went home on the bus with her. Her mom took me to my house to get my clothes and walked by my mother. I walked up the stairs crying. I came down the stairs and stopped and stared at her. All of a sudden the Grandfather Clock winked and fell on my mother, but it didn’t just fall on her. It Disappeared in her. Then she stood up and hugged me. I asked her what happened, She didn’t know. So I told her I was going to my new friends house for the weekend. She said that was fine and I hugged her and said I love you. I hope you know that. I walked out side and looked up into the sky and said thank you. The sun came out and shined on my arm where my birth mark was. All of a sudden it turned into the shape of a Grandfather Clock. I said thank you and walked into my new friends car. I smiled. She asked me why I was so happy. I told her because I’m with my best friend. She hugged me and we started singing.  THE End !!!
