I was bored.. and this happened to me in real like so here you go
There I was. I was sitting in the kitchen in my tiny Junkyard den , eating a T.V. dinner that I had prepared for myself as I waited for my favorite show to start. It was pretty late, around 9:15 at night. Oh gosh, I felt like I was in High School again. Watching 90210 and eating crappy food, just like the kind they serve in the school cafeteria. Did that beef just sneeze? Forget it- just eat. I was about to go into the T.V. room so I could get myself comfortably seated on my couch like the happy couch potato I liked to be on Fridays when the telephone rang. Darn! So close! I stomped angrily towards the phone and picked it up, saying "Hello" in a tone that would hopefully make them realize that this wasn't a good time. But a rather cheery
"Hello" mirrored me back except in a deeper voice.
I leaned against the wall, "Who is this?" I asked, realizing that the caller ID hadn't shown up on my phone.
"Your favorite brother" the voice answered.
I was confused. I only had one brother and this wasn't his voice. "Mistoffelees? You don't sound too good."
"Yeah, I'm in Canada, I just got out of the hospital. I need you to send me $1400."
Now I was scared. What the hell did he do? Why was he in Canada? Was he leaving his wife and two daughters? "You're not leaving Electra, are you? Why didn't you just call Mom? Mistoffelees, I can't send you $1400, I just don't have that kind of money." Plus, Electra was one of my best friends; I couldn't believe that there would be a reason for them to split up.
"You can't tell Mom or Electra, I need the money quick. Please, I'm counting on you." Then I heard a click. He hung up on me!
There was NO way I was going to send him $1400. He's crazy if he thinks I will. I needed to tell Electra, she's probably so worried by now. But, maybe I should send him the money… he DID sound really bad. It would mean giving up all my savings that I was going to use to buy a diamond collar, but that didn't matter right now. I grabbed my purse and ran out into the Junkyard, to the Jellice Bank. I needed to help Mistoffelees.
I went up to the counter, where Jemima was working. "Hey Jem. I need to take $1400 out of my account."
"$1400?" Jemima almost screamed, he eyes even wider than usual. "Why would you need that much money Vicky?" she asked. Should I tell her? I looked at my watch, 90210 was already over, I have time. "Mistoffelees needs the money, he just got out of the hospital and he needs to get home."
"Oh no. I'll make the deposit right now. Good luck." She said. She seemed very worried. I thought I'd leave out the Canada part. I put the money in an envelope and quickly ran to the post office, I waited on line. It was almost my turn, when I realized that I couldn't do it. Electra NEEDED to know. So I left the building and I took out my cell phone. The phone rang a couple of times before she picked up. "Uhh, hey Electra, do you know where Mistoffelees is?" I said nervously.
"Yeah, of course, we're watching a movie right now." She answered. I couldn't believe it, I've been bamboozled! I was shocked. "Oh god, I'm sorry Electra. I gotta go."
"Um, ok then." She answered back, I hung up the phone and stormed home. I was actually about to send the money too! I couldn't believe it. I was scammed. I slammed the door behind me and threw my coat on the floor. My phone rang again. "Hey, did you send the money yet?"
It was the voice of the person who had called me before. I turned red with fury. "Yeah, and the FBI is going to deliver it!" I yelled into the phone and threw it back onto the receiver. No one messes with Victoria!!
