The wonder of books
She started running, trying to escape the hideous monster that her step mother sent after her. The monster- three headed, gigantanormous, slimy, scaly, all arround ugly, and unfourtunately for Gabby, realy fast. She kept on running the monster close behind.
When she slid to a stop at a huge cavern, noware to go she slowly turned around, Ready to face the impending doom. The monster reared up ready to strike... "MRS.KINGSLY." My head snaps up, and my cheeks turn my signature tomato color as my math teacher (or should I say spawn of the devil )Mrs. Palingsky stands in front of my desk hands on her hips.
" Emma,would you care to tell the class what the formula for the area of a circle is?" I slink back into my seat and put RESCUE OF THE SUN back inside my desk. " yes, ms.langstorm?" she said turning to francis. "A =pi R squared." Francis said clearly thriveing on my embarassement.
The bell rings and I am saved from the drab and cramped school that unplesently resembles a prison, from the colorless walls down to its inhabitants. I walk out of the "school" and the May sunshine warms my back.
The warm sensation enduces tingles all throughout my body while I walk home, almost inviting me to sit under the huge oak tree out front and read for hours...but the rest of my life was not on the same page.. and neither was my little brother who ran out of the house and tackled me. I glance longingly at the tree and reluctantly follow my brother Jojo inside.
I open up the Dilapidated red door, and walk inside. The floor creaks under my feet as I go into the kitchen to greet my wornout, 8 month-pregnant mom.
She is busy making dinner while my brother is in the family room watching cartoons on the old samsung tv. " hey mom what ya making?" I say while setting down my old vintage-looking backpack from walmart. "mac 'n' cheese, could you call your brother in?"
"Sure mom" I say halfway there. " JOJO...FOOD'S READY" The end of my shouting is accompanied by a thunder of foot steps.
As I sat at the table picking at the soggy mac n cheeze on my plate I get the usual bombardment of "how was school?", "what did you learn?" and the occational sectance of "MAX, STOP FEEDING LUNA FROM THE TABLE!"
Our dog, luna is an australian sheperd and huskey mix. she has baby blue eyes that have grey speckles in them that reminds me of the night sky, which earned her the name luna.
I clear my plate, scrape the mac 'n' cheese onto the floor for luna, pick up my backpack, Walk upstairs to my room. I set my backpack down beside me as I put on my headphones and relax into the first notes of smells like teen spirit.
The notes are soaring and my fingers are druming to the beat on my knee. Im so engrosed in the music that I dont see jojo walk in until he is standing over me. I screach and almost fall off my bed, pauseing the music and taking out my earbuds I ask him what he needs clearly aggrivated from being interupted from my music.
he says "its luna" he pauses staring at his feet, " she threw up and mom wants you to clean it" I sigh and place my I pod and earbuds down on the old dingy flower comforter. I escort him out of my room and go downstairs still humming the chorus.
I walk out to the kitchen and gag when I see the pile of noodles and digested food. I grab the bleach and paper towels and a doggie bag. once the mess is cleaned up I wash my hands thoroughly and dry them I walk into the family room to find my mom on the coutch winceing in agony. She tells me "emma grab the keys...my water broke."
