Waking up, I eventually head downstairs through the eerily awkward silence of the house to the kitchen. If you were wondering, after last night my mom asked someone to have my little brother for a few nights. As for my mom, she has time owed that she's taking and she'll always be up by now. It's 9am. So today is kind of like a weekend, in which there's always a strong smell of pancakes and syrup whiffing up the cream carpeted stairs. I shout for her a few time but get back no response but silence, something must be wrong. I look all round the house for her with hope that she's here, coming to a halt as I look through her bedroom door, leaning on the frame.
She's sat in her posh, vintage vanity chair with the box open, with tissues and a letter in hands, and different items belonging to the box for many dusty years, scattered across the top of the vanity. I sigh and look at her for a minute, it must have been a big shock for her.
The letter box made the noise it always does. The annoying old loud, squeak. I got letter, that's unusual.

I have nothing on today, and last night with a the shock, mum said that Molly, Amy, and Lucy had to go. So I never got the chance to give them their reports, and we didn't get chance to try out our new Z S3 tablets, so they are coming over today. We are going to Starbucks for lunch!
There's jut nothing to do really, so I clean and tidy up a bit. And there's still spare time, so I decided to watch some TV. I still have some shows of So you think you have a chance? left to watch. It's a show where 5 random people get together to take on many strange, dangerous and disgusting tasks. And if you wouldn't do it, you would be out. If you were out, you get -3 points, if you are first you get 4 points, second, 3, third, 2, fourth, 1, and fifth, 0. And at the end, the person with the most points wins and gets a load of prizes. The losers just get a book of how to do all the tasks they did. And a $15 voucher for taking part. Although the winner receives a $500 shopping spree voucher. So I watch that...
"Welcome back to So you think you have a chance?!!!! I'm your host Daniel Parkerson, and these are your competitors....."
As he says this he points his arm to the green curtains, as they open, 5 people are revealed.
"Hi I'm Amy, I'm 21 and love sports, dance, and am going to win this thing!!!" Says the one on the left. Wearing a pink sports bra top, and matching shorts.
"Hi I'm David. And you won't beat this flexible," he does the splits, "talented," he sings this, "and pet lover 26 year old!" He now winks at the audience, which gets a few laughs, and his stunts, a massive clap, he bows. Which causes a dirty look from Amy, but David just turns to her and smirks.
"Hey, I'm Will, 18, I'm fun, excited, and ready for anything!!!!" This one looks hot, and fresh.
"You all think," he says pointing at the other competitors, "that your going to win. But with this 20 year old boy Jay, you're getting other plans!" He's got scruffy small curly hair, which I just want to touch!!!
"Hello there, I'm 31 and called Shelly. I'm a sporting gymnast who will beat you all. Just get ready to go dowwwwnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!" She says the last word pointing and going down whilst wiggling her hips. The audience gives some 'ooooohhs'.
"So, we've got a sporty one, a full of himself one, a chilled laid back one, a determined one, and an athletic one." I hear a voice behind me say. I then turn around to find Amy behind me, leaning on the door frame, arms and legs crossed!
"Amyyyyyyy......!!!!" I said running up to her, our arms wide open. She leans off the door frame as I run and jump up on her into a hug. So she nearly falls over. I don't know how this happens, but she turns into a spin with me on still, we both tumble onto the couch!
We were actually quite comfy, considering we were lying on top of each other. But it was kind of awkward so we decided to go top-to-tail.
"So?" I said, after pausing the telly, hoping a conversation will emerge.
"So what?"
"So, why have you come early?" I ask.
"Oh, because, well, I had some spare time, nothing to do trufully. Plus, I thought maybe that we could get a head start on the tablets." She says, giving me a cheeky wink. Which I have to have a laugh at!
"But how can you, we are setting them up all together and have one each?"
"Ahhhh, but what you don't now is that my brother went as well and got me one for work and stuff and he got a spare one too."
"Oh, your so crafty Amy aren't you?" I sarcastically say accompanied with a playful soft slap. "Do you want a snack before we get started?"
"Yeah, I'll just have a sandwich and water thanks." She said, and with that I'm off to the kitchen.
When I get back I sit on on the couch and gave Amy her sandwich.
"Let's watch this too." She said and pulled out the two boxes, grabbing the TV remote and pressing play.
Then before we know it we are setting up the tablets laughing along with the television.
