Christmas
I'm not totally done it yet i copied it from a story i am doing on a program on my computer but read this for now until i finish it ;]
Ugh I hate going to my cousin’s house for Christmas. They pull pranks on me, follow me EVERYWHERE, and put fake raccoons in my presents and the two little ones I have to watch poop and spit up on me. Gross I know. “Juliet. Time to get in the car!” my mom screamed up the stairs. I quickly brushed my long black hair and put it in a ponytail.
“Ok mom I’m coming!” Then I ran down the stairs with my suitcase clomping on the wood. And just for good luck I knocked on it. Then I ran outside and I- ok I slipped on the ice… don’t tell anyone. But my crush Jackson was out there across the street with some football members laughing their heads off. I got up from the ground like nothing happened. Then I waved to him. He waved back still laughing. Then stepped into the car. Finally we were on our way. It was a really bumpy ride on the way to Vancouver, I mean couldn’t we just go on a plane for like a day or a few hours then driving for like a month? I live in Toronto! Well any way I had no clue where we were going. So I looked out my window and saw we were at the airport. I was like finally! So we went inside the big building and waited in the giant line. Like an hour later we were 4th in the line. Mom called Aunt Tawni and told her we were going to be a little late. 20 minutes later when we were at the very front, the lady named Sandra helped us weigh our luggage.
After the luggage weighing Dad gave Sandra our passports. I was about to sneeze in the picture so I looked really weird. Now when they ask me “is this really you” I have to pretend I’m about to sneeze. When we went through security the detector sensed metal on me. So I looked in my pockets and I saw my nail clippers! I must have left them in my pockets from home! When I looked up there were already a bunch of security guards surrounding me. I knew my only weapon. So I fainted. 12 minutes later I got up and 2 nurses were asking if I was all right constantly. And I kept repeating I’m fine for 4 minutes straight. After the nurses left I got up and sat in the waiting room. A little bell went off on the intercom. Then a woman’s voice “For everyone going to Vancouver your plane will be arriving in twenty minutes.” Yay twenty minutes! While I was waiting me and mom decided to go to the little coffee shop to get a coffee. “One large mocha-chino with extra the mocha and just a wee little sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the low fat whipped cream please.” I told the lady. Then I realized that’s my BFF Bridgit. So I started to have small talk with her while my mom was waiting for me. I looked back and mom rolled her eyes. “What?” I asked her. “We still have ten minutes.” After I said bye to Bridget we had to board the plane!
It was a really bumpy plane ride and I was so tired. So I slept.
“Juliet we are at aunt Tawni’s house. Wake up!” Oh yay were here. And how was in a car? Oh well. I (stupidly) got up and (stupidly) slipped on the ice again and (stupidly) shuffled my way in to the (stupidly) bright house. AHHHHHH! My eyes burned! It was so bright. Have they ever heard about conserving energy? I saw (or at least I think) I saw aunt Tawni’s blonde hair. I shut my eyes tight and then opened them. Hey it was her. Then I saw Uncle Bob, little Brenden, Cousin Amy, Cousin Mark, Cousin Harry and baby Charlie. Charlie was wearing her butterfly dress I gave her for her birthday.
“Hi guys! What’s up?” I asked.
“Oh nothing weirdo.” Harry said.
“Be quiet twerp or I will beat you.” I warned.
“Be quiet twerp or I will beat you.” Mark copied in a mean way
“Shove a pie in your pie hole.” I said.
“PIE! WHERE?” Brenden asked excitedly
“There is no pie smart one!” Amy said.
“Kids stay with big sissy Amy and Cousin Juliet ok? We are going to do um…something.” Dad said. I looked around and sat on the stairs. Amy sat down next to me. She is 13 just like me.
“So what are we going to do? Have makeovers, watch a movie, or listen to music…”
“I don’t know.” I said.
“Can we lock your bedroom door and watch “the night before Halloween”?”
“Sure!” So we ran up to her bedroom. Then-
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Brenden popped out of the corner. All three of us screamed.
“Were just getting started.” The little kindergartner warned me and Amy.
“What do you mean?” I asked with a mean face.
“The pwanks. They told me to twell you dat.” Brenden said.
“Well tell ‘them’ this.” Amy started. “If they go in my room I am calling Dad to come over here and give you all a lesson.” Amy finished.
“OK.” He said walking away glumly.
“Hey so where should I put my stuff?” I asked.
“You can put them on the couch in my room for now.”
“OK.” I said as I was entering Amy’s room. The room was black and red. And I mean EVERYTHING! The couch, the bed, the closet, the TV, the dresser, the desk, the computer, keyboard and the mouse.
“Wow dark room.”
“Thanks.”
“Yep. I actually like more optimistic colors like pink and yellow. But it is your room.”
“So what is your favorite holiday?”
“Valentines day. Yours?”
“Halloween.”
“Thought so.” I said with a mumble.
Amy put in the movie ‘the night before Halloween’ and we started watching. The previews were quite boring though. But then it was show time!
Later in the movie our eyes were wide open looking around the room waiting for the killer with a chain saw and a hockey mask to come get us. Then we saw the part. The really scary part the music was scary. The girl, Jenny heard the telephone at night and answered it. And it was the killer Derek! He said this: “Hello Jenny. I am coming to get you.” Then she heard a knock at the door and she opened it! (How dumb!) And IT WAS DEREK! Amy and me screamed our heads off until she took out the DVD and threw it out the window.
“Ouch who threw this on my head?” Uncle Bob said as he was shoveling the walk.
“Sorry dad!” Amy yelled out the window.
Then we turned on the lights. Amy pulled out a big box and opened it. OMG! A BUNCH OF MAGAZINES! AND BRAND NEW ONES TOO! All my magazines are old but hers are sorted by date. So I pulled the one from 1 day ago and flipped to the quiz page.
“Hey Amy. Have you done this quiz?”
“Nope not yet.”
“Okay. If your friend bought new cherry lip gloss what would you do? Say, “I am so not your BFF because you got that before me” B) Steal it and run away. Or C) Congratulate your friend for getting new lip gloss.”
“Totally C.” Amy said. “Hey go to the Advice column!” so I flipped to page 34 and ask Erica was there following a bunch of questions. Amy rudely grabbed the magazine out of my hands and read the first question aloud.
“Dear Tweeny teeny magazine,
I have to go to my cousin’s house for Christmas break and I am totally bummed.
Because there is a Goth Amy, the annoying twins Mark and Harry and the two babies Brenden and Charlie. Help me survive this disastrous break!”
- Juliet
“Ugh. You’re so mean to us.”
“Well sorry that I didn’t know you owned every magazine in the universe.”
“Seriously get out of my room and find somewhere else to sleep.” She rudely said. I walked out and trotted down the steps. And then I sat on the couch. “Well it was your fault Bob!” I heard my mom yell. Oh great they were having another fight. Can’t they get along? My mom and Uncle Bob always fought when they were kids. I’m always happy to be an only child. My mom stormed out of the room she was in and then along with Uncle Bob in his snow gear. Then Aunt Tawni and following her was my dad. They were all fighting with each other. Amy came down stairs and asked what was going on. I said “war.” And then she (again) rudely said, “It’s not war Juliet it’s just that your family is really annoying to my family.” And after that comment I felt as angry as a mad lion. Suddenly everyone started bickering with each other. At the end I noticed everything had got to end. “OKAY STOP TALKING!” I yelled. “I declare a war between the Winter’s and the Quiltons. We shall do challenges and we will see on the last day, which is Christmas, Who is the best family in total of challenges the family wins.”
“Well what’s the prize?” Amy asked in her snooty voice.
“Uh, the prize is a trip to Cuba! The loosing family pays!” I answered.
They all nodded their heads in agreement. We all thought that the first challenge is tomorrow. It is who can shovel the fastest and neatest.
The next day we all woke up. We had to sleep in a hotel but that was nicer than their old, bug infested house. So we drove our minivan to this big white set up tents. We went inside and saw that there was fake snow everywhere. It was actually really nice looking. I saw that the whole Quilton family was there.
The shoveling was on… The dads of both families participated in the shoveling contest. But as I know the Quiltons will do ANYTHING to win. They would cheat anywhere. Like our little cousin from dads side, Johanna,
“Ok mom I’m coming!” Then I ran down the stairs with my suitcase clomping on the wood. And just for good luck I knocked on it. Then I ran outside and I- ok I slipped on the ice… don’t tell anyone.
