On the night of December, 25 we are in our family home in Paris (which is really big because of our abnormally huge family and a savings bond), and I am watching French soap operas with my grandma (gramgram) who is screaming" No Bernard don't die "! Now don't get me wrong, I usually love my soap operas like any normal soap opera loving person but I tend to hate ones that I can't understand a word of. I suddenly hear something like a bear growling and I see that gramgram is sleeping and snoring loudly. I quickly turn off the TV, which is turned up extra loud because of gram gram's hearing problems and I hear loud pounding outside. I think someone is trying to rob the neighbors so I sneak out the window of my bedroom and I shout " don't fret dear fellow citizens of the great city of Paris, Anastasia the amazing will save the day" I run to my neighbors' house, look into a side window. As sneakily as I can, but instead of a massive robbery, I see tons of people, dancing and laughing with drinks in their hands. I think "A party!" "I love parties like a fat kid loves cake", which is a lot by the way. So, now I have two choices, change and sneak into that party, or, continue with my torture of boredom, doing nothing. Like the reckless devil I am, I choose decision number one, but suddenly a voice speaks to me in my head saying" No, bad girl, don't sneak into that party, those people can be Russian Mafia, for all you know!' I speak defiantly back, "Who are you, my mommy?" The voice answers back "no smart one, I'm your conscience, and no one speaks to me like that, not even myself". "I don't have time for this" I say to myself and I run back into my room that I share with my evil cousin Vichy who was snoring like the pig she is. I change into my sequined party dress, comb my waist length long blond hair, put some gray eye shadow on my sliver eyes that change color and sneak out again to go to the party. I sneak behind a group of people just coming in and pretend to be part of their group, laughing and saying hi to them. I see a boy welcoming everyone to the party who looks a year older than me which is 17 and I have a moment of déjà vu. I ignore the feeling and try to have fun but I quickly realize that I don't know anyone there and I don't understand a word they're saying so it's pretty hard. I grab a soda and find a door leading out to something that looks like a terrace. I go up to the terrace, sit down on one of the chairs and look at the stars. I see that I'm not the only one here; the boy that was greeting people is there too. "so you're the peeping tom who snuck in " he says with a smirk. " if by peeping tom you mean superhero and if by snuck in you mean neighbor who was trying to save you from the mass robbery, then yes I am" I say defensively. "You're one weird girl" he says slightly laughing. "This has been fun but well it's getting late so I should head home" I say bored and I run back to the party then, back home and fall into a deep, dreamless sleep.
