"You're grounded and no Netflix!! Head up to the attic and not a word to be spoken!", screamed mom. "Oh my god!! Why do you have to be like this?" "Don't show me you're attitude young lady!" "I said I'm sorry!" "I'm NOT accepting a meaningless sorry!" Alex headed up to the attic without a word regretting what she did.
The last night:
After all the lights went out at night and the James family was asleep Alex had called her friends over without her parents permission. The gang snuck out to the theater to watch a late night show of the sequel of their favourite movie, (Sally's one of a kind
life!) The movie started at 3 am and ended at 6 am. By the time Alex reached home her mom had woken up, worried and very angry at her foolish, irresponsible daughter.
This was one of Alex unlucky days. You would normally expect an introduction but this story has it's own path..............
Alex walked up the creaky stairs to the second floor. She went to the corner and pulled the rusty lever and from the ceiling a trap door opened and a ladder jumped out. She climbed up and into the attic.
