Summer Vacation or Summer Killcation
CHAPTER
1
Leaving
I
had always dreaded this day,the day I would be going to my grandma Joyce's house for one month in the summer. One month away from my friends, one month wasted in Las Vegas with my dull sixty year old grandma! I haven't seen her since I was five, now I'm seventeen, that was twelve years ago when I was a child who didn't want to go home after my visit there. That was then, this is now. I don't even want to go but I have to since my mom is going on a month long business trip again. Yup your right my mom works at the one the only..... TGCD enterprise which stands for Time Gucci Client Disorder. So her boss whom I recently met and dislike made my mom go on her tenth business trip which is the one she's headed off to now. The business trips are for stupid things. For example, my mom just came back from her ninth trip last week which was in Florida. She told me that she needed to go because she had to see a client that had a disorder because he would always say the word dude in every thing he'd say. She of course handeled that problem very well. She is now heading off to Ohio. I hate that my mom keeps leaving. I always ask her ''can't you quit your job to find a better one?''. She always tells me the same response, ''this job pays well enough to pay off the mortgage and other bills so be grateful you have a two story house.''
A
s I was packing my bag in my half pink and half blue room, my mom came in and put some of my shoes that I had left downstairs into my black suitcase. I just rolled my eyes and continued to pack. ''Come on sweetie'' my mom said. ''At least your friend Anna Stewer will be coming with you'' she said again but this time reassuringly. As I thought about it she was right at least I had one of my friends with me throughout this upcoming disaster. When I got done packing I tugged my suitcase down the stairs and placed it by the front door. I then went back upstairs into my room and charged my Ipod on my mini-dell laptop and fell asleep. It's weird because I live in a country like house, but thats not what you would expect to see in the city of New York, would you?
''Beep
beep'' the cab was here to pick me up, since my mom left about an hour ago I had to get a ride so I could get to my friend Anna on time. I went downstairs grabbed my jacket, phone, and Ipod. I put my jacket on because it was raining and headed out the door. Once inside the taxi, I told the driver named Selena ''Bronx New York, apartment twenty-seven B please'', she just nodded and headed in the direction I told her to go. After twenty-five minutes in the car we were at Annas apartment. I got out the taxi, payed the driver and it sped away. I walked up to Annas door and knocked twice, she opened it and we exchanged smiles and hugs. ''Well lets get going Brandi'' she said with a wide smile on her face. Anna has blue eyes, long wavy brown hair, and her skin tan like mine. I on the other hand have green eyes, and long over-lapping black hair, like Demi Lovato. I smiled and said ''well it's your house so we take your car''. I walked around the side of the pink convertible and got in the passenger seat. Now you're probably wondering if I have a car? The answer to that is no. Anna she has a car because she's well, a year older than me. I'm seventeen and she's eighteen, I will be turning eighteen in two months, that will be in October, and will be getting my drivers license also in two months as well but the day before my birthday, which will be October fifth 2010. Anna came to her car and went in the drivers seat, she put the key in the ignition and off we went.
O
nce at the airport we took our bags and did the whole ''checking, scaning process'' that you usually have to do when you go to the airport. Since we already bought our tickets on the internet we didn't have to wait in the long line. We walked to gate twelve B. We waited and waited, it seemed like we waited for ten hours, but really when I checked the time on my phone only thirty minutes had passed. When the announcer named Vanessa commented upon the airport, she had a high voice and she said '' gate twelve A and B may start boarding the planes''. Anna and I got up, got our bags and walked to the entrance of the plane.
H
alfway through the plane ride I went into my napsack and pulled out my sketch pad while Anna was singing her butt off to the new Ashley Tisdale song It's Alright It's Ok. I listened to her sing, her voice was pure and beautiful. I could never sing like her, I am inept at singing, but I can do something she can't do, and what would that be? you ask, it's drawing. Well how good I draw? you ask questionaly, based on a scale of one through ten, I'm a nine hundred thousand nine hundred and ninty nine. Just recently I entered the world wide art competion and lets just say it was a breeze and I won, out of the hundreds of thousands contesants I won first place! The landscape I drew for the competion was my version of the city New York. It was a black and white version with a little of coloring in between the lines. So yea, I can draw pretty well. I started to think of something to draw on my sketch pad then I got it, I started to draw, and mintues later I was done. The outcome was a brown and white spotted puppy playing with his tail. Anna looked at it and by her exprestion on her face she was in awe. I just smiled and closed my pad. My eyelids started to feel droopy and in no time I was fast asleep.
CHAPTER 2
Normal or Paranormal
''
We're here!'' somebody shouted. With that I jolted awake, at first I was startled by all the people moving and others being boisterous but then I quickly got up, gathered my things and went into the line to get out of the stuffy, cramped airplane. When I finally got out the plane I saw Anna waiting for me by the door to the entrance of the airport. ''What took you so long?'' she asked. ''Sorry but the line was long and I woke up alittle late'' I replied, she just nodded and we started to walk to the car loop where all the cars were to pick up and drop people off. Once there Anna and I looked for my grandamas car. The last time I visted she had an SUV and it was light blue. We heard several honks and beeps but none of them my grandma. After several of minutes later I got out my Sprint Touch Pro Two, a pink touch screen phone and dialed my grandma. ''Hello'', she said in her low voice, ''hi grandma'' I replied sweetly even though I didn't want to. ''Where are you Brandi Sandy? she asked. 'Ugh I hate when she calls me that' I thought. ''I'm at the airport, where are you granny? I know for a fact she doesn't like to be called granny, I just took revenge and I enjoyed it. ''I'm in the car line and I still have my blue SUV'' she said softly, I looked around and around but I couldn't find her. ''Found her'' Anna said pointing to her car. ''Grandma were coming to you now'' I said and hung up. Her car was in the far back but we managed to walk all the way over to her car without our legs hurting , or without one of us complaning. We reached her car and she had a girl in the passenger seat who looked liked she was around my age. When Anna and I got into the car we waved to the girl, she smiled and my grandma said '' girls this is Sabrina, Sabrina this is Brandi my grandaughter, and her friend Anna. She waved to me and I just noded and pulled out my Ipod.
Once in my grandmas house I walked to my room that she assigned me. Since there was only two bedrooms one person had to share with me, and I was okay with that. To my surprise Sabrina came in and put her bag down beside mine, since it was a bunk-bed one had to sleep on the top, while the other on the bottom bed. That part was comfortable for me, and probably for her to.
I checked the time on the digital clock. It was 7:45, and knowing my grandma we would have to be hitting the showers and getting off to bed at 8:00.
''Ahhhhh'' I said softly as my cold, shivering body hit the warm water. I was in the shower and I started to scrub myself with the pink luba I had brought with me. Twenty minutes later I was changing into my pajamas and getting into bed. Sabrina was also in bed and I went up to say ''goodnight'' to her but when I saw her, her face was as scary as a living, talking, breathing woman with a fresh wound caused by a seven inch knife that was right smack down in the middle of her neck with all the blood coming down her clothes. ''Ahhhhhhhhh'' I screamed, at that moment she put up her hand and pointed her index finger in a claw like form and scratched me in the groin. She was trying to kill me because she tried to stab me in the heart, but I moved away just in time to not get killed. But the scratch really hurt. ''Ow'' I said ''what in the world are you doing insane person''. She didn't reply and so I immidetaly took her hand away and swiftly left to find my grandma. I found her and I woke her up ''Sabrina is a monster''! I cried out. She just shook her head and so I showed her to my room and Sabrina was not in the 'monster form' she was eariler it was like she was never awake, like she was sleeping. ''She's not in a 'monster form''', said my grandma. ''Yes, she was I saw her with my own tw- ''AHHHHHHH''!! A loud sudden scream filled the room...
