Hey guys! So, um, how's everything going? Good? Good! Haha I turned 18... two and a half months ago... and I graduated... last week... I had been planning to update on my birthday, but that kind of fell through, so here is what I was planning to post a long while ago. Hope you enjoy!
"What's this one called?" Ken asked, holding up my favorite crayon.
"That one's called Best Friends," I said proudly. I took the crayon from him and scribbled a bit on my paper. "See? I think it looks really cool." The other kids "oooh"ed in response.
"What about this one?" Blaise asked.
"That one is Eggplant," I said wrinkling my nose. "Only eggplant is a yucky ve-ge-ta-ble so I never ever use it, and you shouldn't either.
"I like this one," Shawn said. Shawn was another kid in my class. He was younger than me but he wore glasses and his mommy always combed his hair to one side, and I made fun of him all the time. Today was special though, cause Miss Queen Tibby told us to bring in our own crayons and Shawn only had a box of twelve and I had seventy-two. I offered to share mine with him as long as he game me his cookies at lunch time.
"But that' a girl color!" Maria yelled. Shawn was holding up the Lilac crayon. His face went all red and he put it back.
Natara and her sister Neha glared at us from across the room and I grinned and stuck my tongue out. They didn't get to bask in the glory of my crayons cause yesterday Natara made me play house with her and her friends and I had to be the dog. Neha couldn't use my crayons because she's Natara's sister and so she's probably just as evil.
"Okay, guys, I want you all to go back to your seats," Miss Queen Tibby said. Everyone that was gathered around my table went back to their own tables. Except Shawn, cause he was allowed to use my crayons. Miss Tibby handed out a white sheet of paper to all of us, but this time we don't get to use the scissors.
"Okay, I want you to draw the scariest thing you can think of," Miss Tibby said. "It can be the monster that lives under the bed or a dragon, anything." I grinned to myself and began to work really really hard on my monster. I knew exactly what I wanted to draw.
After about ten minutes Miss Queen Tibby told us that we had to show our monster to the class. Ken went first. He had drawn the monster that lives in his basement, complete with sharp teeth and scales and scary claws. Maria drew the thing that lives in her dad's shoe. I remember once when I was over at her house that we tried to get whatever it was to come out, only it didn't want to. But I'm sure it looks real scary and wanted to eat us, only it was asleep.
Natara's drawing was really dumb. She said that her mommy told her there were no such things as monsters, so she drew her baby sitter. She said her baby sitter tried to make her eat broccoli though, so I guess I can't completely blame Natara. Her drawing only had twelve colors though, so it wasn't nearly as good as mine.
Shawn drew a beetle. I'm not sure he really understood what Miss Queen Tibby told us to do.
I went last cause I heard the best one always goes last, and since I already knew mine was the best I had to wait. After everyone else had gone, I marched up to the front with my paper folded so no one could see it before I showed them. When I got to the front of the room I stood there for a second before opening my drawing. Everyone "oooooh"ed and "ahhhh"ed at the colors. Natara just glared with jealousy.
"Wow, that's a really colorful drawing, Mal!" Miss Queen Tibby said. I grinned up at her.
"It's the scariest monster I've ever seen!" I announced proudly. "It's got the pointiest claws ever and a pig snout and fangs and everything! And it's right here in this room!"
"Really?" Miss Queen Tibby asked. "What is it?" I paused for dramatic effect, then pointed at one of the tables.
"Its name is Natara!" I shouted. I grinned proudly at Miss Tibby, expecting her to clap or say how I did a really good job.
Only she sent me to the principal's office and they called my dad.
I still think mine was the best.
