Day: 10. February 2010

It was a nice winter day when 11 year old Emily Hilson was getting ready for school. She had just taken a short shower and still the shower water was cold. She had rushed to wash her hair and face, but she was unsuccessful. She was as cold as an ice-cube. It was the last straw she couldn’t take her showers last anymore! Her brother and sister Alex and Nicole always where hogging the hot shower water. Emily marched upstairs to her mother and said, ” Why do I have to take my shower last?” “You don’t have to.” Her mom replied calmly. Her mom was a 39-year-old woman who was very pretty and was really involved in her children’s lives. She also wanted to make everything perfect. Emily went back down stairs and got dressed. Nicole her sister was a 9 year-old with a room of her own. Emily sometimes wished she were an only child. Now Alex was a different story he was always making a mess. Alex always went in Emily and Nicole’s room and destroyed all of there stuff. Emily finished getting dressed and messed with her hair. She walked into the kitchen to have some cereal. When she got there she ate some Lucky Charms and a small slice of toast. Nicole and Alex where already eating there breakfast. They ate what they usually ate a bagel with cream cheese and Frosted Flakes. For some reason they thought it was good luck if they ate the same food everyday. All of the sudden Emily’s mom came down and yelled ” TIME TO GO!” The 3 children jumped on their feet and got on their backpacks. The school they went to was Harrison Hills Elementary. It was one of the best schools. As they reached the school Nicole was asking and asking if she could have a cell-phone like Emily. Every time her mom answered “NO!” Emily had a flip phone that had a pink cover. This whole time Emily felt as lucky as ever. When they got to school Emily went to her class line up. Today Emily was lucky it was only 7:55 and school starts at 8:30. She walked towards her friends Rose and Rebecca. The 3 girls had always hung out until the cheer squad started. They would play different things every day and they were happy! Then one day a few of the girls wanted to have a cheer squad. One of those girls was Rose. Rose is an athletic girl who loves to stretch and run. In PE she is one of the fastest runners in the class Emily and Rebecca where always one of the last. That was a quality that Emily loved about Rebecca she would always stay with her. Rebecca was a nice kind girl that wasn’t very flexible. Emily and Rebecca were like PB & J. Anyway The problem all started about a month ago. Tammy and Emily always would stay away from each other. Tammy was just like Rose. She was flexible and loved to run. So one day Rose and Tammy decided they would make a cheer squad. This is when the problems started. Rebecca and Emily thought this was a good opportunity to meet and hang out with friends, so they joined. Soon after 2 more girls joined. Practice stared right after lunch. The girls went to the popular tree to start practice. The tree was located on the lower field to the left side. For some reason everyone liked that tree. The squad started out good, but than Arren Hambutter (Roses worst enemy) came and stared saying how he owned the tree! So Rose made the girls do a cheer in front of him. Emily and Rebecca were so embarrassed that that they quite the squad. Rose chased after the two girls, but they said they’d quite and that was final! Rebecca and Emily know this was the beginning to a monstrous fight between the squad and them. Emily and Rebecca knew that if they went back to Tammy and Rose they would be caught up in their Scheme of showing off. Emily and Rebecca had ignored the squad until today for some reason Rose wasn’t on the playground with Tammy and the rest of the girls. Rose was usually playing with her squad and making up new cheers. Emily often found herself at night dreaming of Rose, Rebecca and her being together again, living and enjoying life together. Rose and Rebecca suddenly shove and push Emily into the girl’s bathroom. “Hey what’s the big idea?” Emily shouts. A bunch of girls are huddling near the hand dryer. The girls kept pushing the button and trying to keep warm. “Sorry!” the two girls whispered. “We need to talk.” Emily is taken into an empty stall. The girls start talking about how they miss each other. Suddenly the bell rings. “It was 8:00 a minute ago.” Emily says annoyed. “Time fly’s when your having fun.” replied Rebecca. The girls laugh in agreement while they walk outside. The girls walked into their classroom. It was Mrs. Sages 5^th grade class. Mrs. Sage was a student favorite (best pick teacher). She was one of the firsts on the list. Rose was in honors and she was so lucky. When Emily or Rose tried to get in they tried their hardest, but were never picked to do so. Rose was in honors math and reading. She was so lucky! Rose went strait to her class. Tammy did the same. Well I mean she went strait to her desk. The class started out with Mrs. Sage sitting at her desk while the kids got ready for the day ahead.
