A YouTube Fantasy

A part of Nala wanted to stay in Mr.Lewis's class but the other pushed on. Leaving the classroom she looks ahead of herself and begins walking. KMS was an okay school. There were bullies like Kyle, mean teachers like Coach Armor, and a teacher everyone loved. Nala looks at the posters students have made of the year. Some were about how great Kingsley was, others about their favorite classes. Turning the door knob to the office she swings the door open and glances at the receptionist. "I need my skateboard.."

Bursting out the school doors she plugs her earphones into each ear. She drops the board onto the ground and jumps aboard. Scanning through her phone she looks for a minecraft song to play. Revenge was her favorite. The wind glided through her short hair as she pushed her leg to gain speed. Nala wasn't that bad with skating she was fairly new to it. She loved the sound of the board's wheels rolling against the sidewalk. When she was younger Nala thought the board would break with her on top of it. Nala wasn't fat nor was she skinny as her Grandma had described her. A red stop sign appeared in front of her and she kicked her heel causing the board to fly from behind her catching it in mid-air. That was a new trick she had learned a couple weeks ago. Sadly, nobody had been around to see it.

Her parents were always on business trips and she had one older brother that lived in Washington. A car sped through the street rasping the rubber tire snapping Nala out of her thoughts. She decided to walk the rest home since it was only like two minutes away. Holding her board in one hand she hummed Revenge loudly. I wonder how life would be if I never found out about Minecraft...or YouTube. Hmm it would suck! Minecraft and YouTube were like a drug to her.

Nala could never get enough. Tobuscus, one of her favorite YouTubers introduced her all the games she plays now. Happy Wheels and Minecraft were a few. She loved alot of YouTubers like Smosh, Shane Dawson, CaptainSparklez, Rhett and Link, Pewdiepie and Slamacow. Nala could see a blue and white building ahead of her.

She picked up her pace and starts to jog. Running through the yard Nala opens the door and pants. "Phew, Mom I'm home! Dad?" The only thing that could be heard was her quick breathing. Man, they're not here. She closes the door behind her and walks slowly towards the kitchen.

Quietly listening to the wooden floor creak Nala reaches the fridge. She opens it exposing the cold breeze trapped from within. "No food? I guess this will do." Bringing a bottle of gatorade towards her chest she turns the cap and slurps the sweet liquid. Gulping each sip and holding the bottle up in the air Nala turns around to see a tall man with a white bloody face holding a knife. Nala's eyes widen as she spits the gatorade all over the man half choking and half screaming. "pfftt-ahh! They're after me lucky charms!" Nala says in a Irish accent.

She slides the skateboard under the man as he swings his arms at her. Nala dodges the attack and lays on her board almost like a penguin and slides towards her room. The man turns around towards her and grabs her foot dragging her to him. Quickly Nala takes her shoe off and throws it at him. "Ow...what was that for?" Huh? She opens her eyes as the man holds the mask in his hand. "Dad? What the flippin' barrels were you doing?!?"

Sliding the skateboard out from behind her back Nala picks it up and stands. "Well, I just got back from Sri Lanka and they use the mask to welcome guests." Nala wraps her arms around his neck and presses her lips on his cheek. "That wasn't so welcoming...I'm glad you're back." "Your mom went to the store and I have amazing news!" Dad looks at his now red shirt and shrugs. Nala grabs some paper towels and hands it to him. "What is it?" He grabs the towels and squeezes the roll. "We're moving to California!" Nala's heart stopped for a second and her mouth drops. "A really nice man is letting me work at his company and it pays double." She looks straight at his green eyes and smiles. "When are we moving?"
