It started as a normal day, but that Monday, my entire life was going to change. It was break and I was hanging out with Bekah, Katie, and Sahara when a small yellow bird came out of nowhere with a rolled-up piece of paper in its beak. It dropped the paper on my head, peeped, then flew off again. I took the paper off my head and turned to my three friends. "Did a small, yellow bird just drop this on my head?" I asked.
Katie and Sahara nodded and Bekah grinned. "Yeah! That was awesome! What does it say?" At that moment, the bell rang.
"How about this: We all go over to Sahara's house after school and open it there?" I suggested.
"Deal." they chorused.
Once we got to Sahara's house, we all went into her room and I unfolded the paper. "It has come to the attention of some worldly authorities that there is something special about you. Come to West Waluga Park at 6:00 PM, this evening." I read aloud, then glanced at the clock. "Oh my gosh! That's in only a few hours! Think we should go?"
Bekah grinned. "Let's!"
Katie smacked her. "Idiot! What if it's a kidnapping gang?"
"We tell my mom where we're going and bring cell phones." Sahara said.
"Sweet! I want to grab some soda and go to the park early." I said, snatching up my two-liter bottle of root beer.
Bekah nodded. "Yeah!"
Katie reluctantly got up, along with Sahara, and I skipped out the door.
