Am very scared. Wish me luck!
From Anna .K
Today I read my sister’s diary, Anna. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t help it! Anyway all she writes about is what she does all day. (BORING!!) I fell asleep just reading it. It’s winter now and snow is piling up our driveway. Great, and this year it’s my turn to clear it with my snow shovel! Anna did it last year but dad helped her! Do I get any help, NO! So during the Autumn I had to practice shovelling things up to get into the mood, so when winter came it wouldn’t take me 3 hours doing it! Most kids don’t even have to clear their own driveway! They just get money for nothing! I’m not going to complain but it is a bit NOT FAIR! I work 24-7 for nothing! Now I’m sorry about my behaviour you see I have a problem. I cannot control my temper. While I was to busy trying to control my temper I didn’t notice I was still in Anna’s room. Now I knew that I wasn’t allowed in her room but I had forgotten. There was a sign on her door saying:
Keep out! And this means you Brigeta
Yes, as you can see it has my name on it (Brigeta) so technically I’m definitely not allowed in her room. And if I was caught in her room, who knows what she’ll do to me! Luckily she was at her first day at school so I could stay in for a while. You’re probably wondering why I’m not at school. The truth is I’m sick. I’ve got a bad bug that wants to stay in me forever! I continued reading her diary.
Dear diary,
Do you know who I like? I do! Guess! That’s right Sam!
Bye!
Anna .K
Well that was short but now I know who she likes except I don’t know who the heck Sam is but, oh well! Mom called up to me, “ Honey I’m bringing up chicken noodle soup for you o-kay!” “ O-kay mom!” I yelled down to her. I quickly and quietly jumped into my own bed. My mom told me to stay in bed but I decided to just look in Anna’s room while I still could. Mom brought up the soup and took my temperature. I was 37.0 degrees Celsius. My mom got some medicine and gave 2 spoonfuls of disgusting grape flavoured medicine. (GROSS!!) I gagged it up but my mom told me in an angry but soft way to swallow. I swallowed it up and nearly puked. I quickly took a sip of my soup, but that made it worse. My mom looked at me in a funny way for a second and then went back downstairs. I jumped out of bed running all over the place to try to get the taste out of my mouth. I tried soap, EWWWW!!!! I spat the soap out immediately and got a glass of water, gulped it down and finally the taste was gone. I should’ve known water would’ve got that taste out of my mouth in the first place! So I went back into my sister’s room. I started looking and snooping about for a few hours. I had finished my soup on my sister’s bed. I was looking about on her bed when I saw I had left a soup stain on her new blanket of Barbie! I kind of felt sorry for Barbie with a splotch on her face. What was I thinking! I was 11 now Barbies are little kid stuff! But then I remembered when I “Accidentally” got a bit of “ washable” marker on her new Barbie doll at Christmas. She went crazy. She started hitting me with Ken and breaking all my new “ washable” markers! Then got her hands in mud and squished her grotty hands on all my clothes including my bed! She took my candy and ripped my stuffed animals. Talk about a taking a spazz! She was furious! Now who knows what she’ll do to me when she sees the stain! I panicked quickly running around and biting my nails. Then I came up with something. I tore the blanket off and through it in the laundry chute. The blanket went flying down it. Phew! That was a close one. Then I noticed that I needed to get to the laundry to get a new clean blanket to put on her bed. I couldn’t go downstairs because mom is there. There was only one thing to do! Go down the laundry chute. I squeezed into it, took a deep breath and went flying down it. There were turns here and turns there. I didn’t know the laundry chute was so long! Finally I saw light. Then as soon as I could say Yippee, I was sitting it a pile of dirty clothes, socks and blankets. They were all in a humungous basket. I tried to get out. I didn’t budge; I started to get a bit frustrated. I tried and tried to get out. Then the basket started to wobble. I hadn’t known that the basket had wheels beneath it. It started to rock. It fell over, with me in it! I was soon covered in clothes. I spat out a sock that had been in my mouth. Eww! I struggled to get up. I finally did. I got all of the clothes off me and went to the clean section. I found a clean pony blanket for my sister’s bed. I quickly scooped it up and started to the stairs. Luckily my mom was on the phone outside so I quickly got back upstairs. I spread the new, fresh, clean blanket on her bed. I spread it neatly on her bed so that no wrinkles were there. That’s what she likes. She’s so fussy that one time she saw a wrinkle on her bed that she screamed to mom to come up and straighten it. It was finally over with. I started to read a bit more of her diary when I noticed a book. It was of ancient Egypt. I started to read:
Cleopatra was born in the capital of Egypt called Alexandria. She was born in 69 BC.
I continued to read the book for a couple of hours. By then I practically knew everything about her. She was the last of the pharaohs of Egypt. Then I started to get a bit tired and then fell asleep. I soon woke up and started to feel a bit bored. So I went back to my room and got out my laptop and started to write a story called the sick day. Then as soon as I started to type I still felt bored. Suddenly I remembered about the laundry chute. I climbed out of bed and went to the laundry chute. I lifted the slide door and squished inside and went whizzing down. I even tried to put up my hands and scream but I didn’t because then mum could hear me. I twisted around the corners and soon fell into the clump of clothes smothered on the floor I had stammered on earlier. I soon started quietly climbing up the stairs and squeezing into the chute and flying down again and again and again. I kept on doing that for half an hour when it wasn’t amusing me as it used to when I first went whizzing down. I went down the chute once more before going upstairs again. I went to my sister’s room again and started to jump up and down on her bed. As I was jumping I noticed I was making humungous wrinkles on her blanket. I stopped straight away and jumped off. I tried to straighten it out. It didn’t straighten one bit. I heard mum say, “Sweets, I’m going down to the laundry. O- Kay?” “O-Kay!” I yelled back to her. I quickly ripped off the blanket and through it down the chute. I heard the phone ring. This was my chance to go down the laundry chute, grab a new blanket and get upstairs. I snuck out of Anna’s bedroom and went down the chute. I got out safely and got a new blanket with the Easter Bunny on it. I ran out of the laundry and got upstairs just before mum hung up the phone. I was so puffed out that I fainted.
………………………………………………………………………………
An hour after I had fainted my mum came in and saw me on the floor, screamed and then called the ambulance. So here I am in the smelly, old hospital sitting in a very comfy bed I have to admit. I watched T.V for 15 minutes and then was able to go home. After an hours rest I got up again to go into Anna’s room. I heard the front door slam. I ignored it. I saw the blanket I had gotten when I was in the laundry. I had ran up so fast that I dropped it in her room and ran back into mine and fainted. While I was in the hospital my grandma and friends had come in to see me. But I was still in a deep sleep so they just left some chocolates, flowers and cards with presents. I started opening my chocolates and eating them. I went back to my room and lay on bed until I heard a sound coming from my window. Someone was throwing stones at my window. I looked out and saw my friend Lizzie. I opened my window and yelled, “Hi Liz!”
“ Hey! Bregita can you come out?” she replied.
“ I don’t think so!”
“ To bad! Later!’
“Bye!” I shouted back to her.
I gave out a big sigh. I wished I wasn’t sick but that didn’t help me at all. If I wasn’t sick I could’ve climbed down the vines on our house and left a note on the window for mom saying:
Dear mom,
I have gone to hang out with Lizzie.
Don’t worry there won’t be any boys.
From Brigeta. J
But, that’s not going to happen because I’m sick! I went in my sister’s room and started snooping around. I heard the door slam. Once again I ignored it. I took out my sister’s diary and started to read it. Some one was coming up the stairs. I didn’t care. I continued to read when I was stopped by a loud voice,
“BRIGETA! GET OUT OF MY ROOM THIS INSTANT!!!!”
I couldn’t believe it but it was my sister, Anna standing in the doorway. She was furious. Her eyes were squinted and you wouldn’t believe it but I thought I saw smoke coming out of her ears! She stomped up to her own door and ripped off her sign. She came close to me and put the sign right in my face.
“Read it!” she yelled right in my face.
“O-Kay! Keep out and this means you Brigeta.” I said with my hands over my face to protect it just encase she did anything bad to it. Then she started to talk about all the rules in her room. I sort of fell asleep for half of it then she yelled, “Do I have myself clear!?” she nearly had smoke coming out of her ears like the last time. I said no before and that’s when things got messy. But this time I said, “Yes you have my word. I will not go in your room again.” She just smiled a sly smile and ran out of my room got her leftover lunch of tuna and poured it all over my head. I tell you, that day was an absolutely a big mistake.
