i sat up in bed, groaning. My eyes were still misty and i wasnt in the mood for damn visitors at this time of the day! My so-called boyfriend had dumped me the previous day to ask out my so-called best friend and she said yes. She started acting really bitchy with me for the rest of the day and I don't know how I will be able to face everyone today at school as she made a laughing stock out of me. I have excluded her from my BFF list, so there.
The doorbell rang impatiently. I padded gloomily down the steep staircase in my flimsy dressing gown (faded colour because it had been in the wash one spin too many) and flung open the door to see a wimpy little man of about 30. It turned out it was the post man, taking a worrying step back at my irritated frown. He was holding a small parcel, beautifully patterned with pink, white and turquoise roses. I wasnt the sort of girl you would call girly, (which is what the parcel looked like) but I wasnt a tomboy either, so i decided to take it in the house with me. Just out of curiosity. Not that I liked it or anything.
I opened the parcel excitedly. Oh. Oh, i REALLY wasnt in the mood for pranks. The parcel was empty. I shoved it in the bin carelessly and taking a deep breath, i started getting ready for school. Ha. That would show them. Nobody made a fool out of Aimee Reeds!
When I came back from school, I saw my dog Snoop sniffing out the bin.
"Scoop boy, come here! Away from the bin!"
But Snoop had already got the parcel out and opened it, and, to my aamazement, there was a Twix Bar in it! But... I hadn't bought any Twix Bars lately! Unless... no, not my parents. Mum was trying to keep fit and dad didn't eat that sort of stuff. He called it "Artificial Rubbish". I thought he was mad! My favourite food was chocolate and i eat some practically every day, though i dont gain any weight, thanks to my fast metabolism. I am thin. Thin as pin. Well, you cant have anyone pin thin literally, but you get what i mean.
I decided to keep the box in my bedroom as things were at last getting interresting around here!
The next day, i went to see my box. Oh. where was it? i searched the whole house, i even searched scoop!
the parcel was never to be seen again.
