Sorry it took so long.....I got lazy. And I got $100, can't sit in front of a computer when you have money. Oh, and I'm reading a cool series called "Fearless," I'm not book 21. And I have other stories to work on. God! People give me some time to my self! (sniff, one small glistening tear falls down cheek)
Day 7:
Ok, today didn't go just the way I planed it. Ya I was kind of bummed, but I guess you could say it was interesting.
Well, alright, I woke up to screaming kids running down the hall. Very noisy when you're in an apartment. (Did I mention I had to sleep on the floor, ya.) Any way I freaked when I heard all the noise.
So I grabbed my bow and got an arrow ready. I screamed a war cry as the door to the bedroom I was in, and I almost shot Jess's little brother. But because of my great reflexes I was able to change the angle of my shot before I had lit the arrow fly. The arrow landed in the molding of the door frame right above his head.
I gave Josh a "I'm sorry" smile and put the bow down. "Damn Dana, you got some wild reflexes, who did you think I was, Roger?" I flinched. I forgot Jess had briefed him on the story. Sometimes you just needed to talk about what happens in a book.
"If you say that name again, I won't miss this time." Josh made a scared face and ran out of the room.
I followed him out (without the bow) and saw that every one was having cereal. I joined in, I was really hungry. Then every one went their own ways. Jess and her mother went to the market while Boy, (Ya I like to call him Boy, it pissed him off and well I like to) went over to a friend's house.
So around 11:00 I called the number I found in Tristan's wallet, but no one answered, I didn't even get the machine! I got so mad I almost threw the evil Roger-ish excuse of a phone into the wall. Oh today is Sunday, so I guess that he was at church. Really making his way up my list.
Got on EBAY and found a few things. I found boots!!! They have are lever! and there's this lever string that you use to tie it up, they reach to right below my knees. And I actually found chain mail. Now I know for a fact that you can find almost anything on EBAY, but I really didn't think I would find it. ( I should know, mom used to work for them. And we found some scary things on there) I FOUND A SWORD!!!!!! With a crystal on the hilt!! (SOOO happy!)
But there's one problem, some one else wants that sword.
I put a $50 bet on it, cause that's what you do on EBAY, you bid. And with in five minutes, someone else bids $52! Then I bid $53, and right away this jerk bids $54! So I sat there watching the screen. The end of bidding would be in 10 minutes. I panned to wait tell the last minute, then I'll place another bet. I sat there with my arms crossed waiting. And I gave the screen the most evilest glare that would have made even the all horrible and degrading Roger flinch. Hoping that who ever was trying to get my sword would feel that glare.
So I did as I panned, and in seconds of placing my bid, this asshole bids again!!! That pimple got my sword!!!! GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I don't don't know why I think of this person, if not demon, as a she. It just seems like a girl would do something like that. I know that is mean to say, cause I'm a girl and all but, I have seen an all woman company, and it wasn't pretty. I can just picture her too. In her little mini skirt and her high heels, and her pierced belly button, and her top that could have passed has a head ban if you saw it laying around. And her bleached blond hair. I should stop I'm just getting my self mad.
And I'm still really mad cause I would have used that sword! But I would bet you any thing that this chick just wants to give it to her "daddy" and he would then put in his office, like some Gods cursed trophy!,.......poor sword.
The chicks e-mail showed up as the winner, cRaZy1somethingorother. I wrote it down. I plan on hunting this girl down, and take the sword by force. I would have started hunting right away if Jess and her mom hadn't gotten home right then. I had a feeling they wouldn't have approved of me hacking on their computer.
Yes I can hack, I ex showed me how. I can turn my whole school into a zoo if you gave me the key to the computer rooms. He already did that at Rancho High. Every was wondering why he had brought an umbrella to school. Then every one got drenched but him. HEHEHE
Jess asked me if I wanted to go to a church pool part, and I said sure, it would help with the anger I had about the sword. We called Joey and she said she would come too. God I haven't my best friend in a long time! It must be at least 4 days or something!
So after Jess found a bathing suit that fit me (Jess is a little smaller than me in some areas, even thought she believes she is bigger than me) we went to pick up Joey.
The pool party was at Alta Loma High School, it all ways lets people in during the summer.
So we went swimming. We spent a lot of time trying to each the bottom even though it was 13 feet down, ya we're stupid. I was the fist one out of the whole group of people who had come, to dive in. Yes I am a leader and always will be. Any way, Jess wouldn't jump in she jus stood there! She said, "he water's cold." So I climbed out and pushed her in.
We dove off the diving boards. (Also did canon balls) Then I got the idea of going into the kiddy pool, which only goes from 3' to 4.' We played chicken (we got Boy to play) And then the church started doing these competition thingies. You know, who can swim here to there first, who can get the most of this.
First the little kids got to go. The had to swim half way across the pool, grab a toy then swim back. I looked at Jess and said, "I could do it."
"Of course you could do it, they're little."
"No I mean, again the other teens."
"Ok prove it."
"Fine I will."
Then, what do you know, it's the teenager's turn. Jess and I look at each other and I said, "Your coming with me. Both of you." I said
Joey was down, but Jess said "what ever." She knows she gonna loose. To me.
We swam over to the competition and got in place. What we had to do was swim ¾ of the pool any way we wanted, then swim back to the wall using back stroke. Once again I thought to my self, "I can do it." Heck I could have even done the whole stupid pool. (Just letting you know, I'm a damn good swimmer. Even though I can't hold my breath that long, I make it up in speed. I learned to swim when I was three. I spent every week end at the lake, so I know water.)
I would like to tell you that I lost, came in last, and that I learned not to be cocky, but that would be lying.
I tied with some guy who needed a hair cut. Funny thing was that during the race I looked back and saw this guy, and I thought that I had lost to him. But this chick comes up to me asked my name, and I tell her and the next thing I know she yells, "Dana, the winner!" I didn't find out till later that I had tied, but I didn't care.
My prize was a bag full of school supplies. Ya I know, whipidi-do-da! But I acually need that stuff soon, so I was happy. (If you didn't know, I'm poor)
After that, every one came up and talked to me, I guess I was now apart of the church. Let me just say, those people were cool!! I wouldn't mind going to that church one of these Sundays. I know I would be welcome cause they invited us.
Ok well more happened. I will write it down but right now I'm starving, so let me go eat and then I will write down the rest.
I know it wasn't all that crazy, but it will, trust me it will, I just have to work up to the crazyness. Are you alright with that? Do you think I should keep going with this story or should I work on my others? I got a box full of ideas for stories, in fact if you want a few, tell me I'll give every one a plot!
The time for choosing.
The light is making Rand choose which of his loves will be his wife. To make sure he lives with big battle thingie, he is only allowed one love. The others will forget him as if they never met him, or die.
