First Semester Portfolio – Favorite Piece

My favorite piece I wrote was a short story about how this girl was trying to hide the pranks she pulled on her older brother from her mother because if her mother found out she would have to send her daughter to live with her mom’s mom. The reason why it’s my favorite is because it the girl reminds me of well me. My ideas came from how I pull pranks on my brother and I thought I would write about it for fun, but I would add something a little extra just for the fun of it, also I changed the names of the characters to protect the insistent. Actually I change the names for fun.

“Ahhhhh!” I heard Joe yell which woke me up. I was unsure what had happen then I remember which made me smile. I heard a loud knock on my door, so I opened it. There he was standing outside my door covered in green slime which made me laugh. Luckily, my mother was at work for the day. So my brother took a shower and decided to pull a prank on me. “Come back here and eat this worm!” Joe said. “No! I’m not eating that worm!” I yelled running down the hall. I had about two hours to beg Joe not to tell mom, but of course he said no unless I ate the worm. “Fine!” I said. I actually ate a worm a real worm. After that I would never green slime in Joe’s room.

The next morning my mom had gone to work, so it was a perfect day to do whatever I wanted then I remember I had a ding dong brother who thinks he knows all. Then I heard “Ahhhhh!!” it was Joe screaming. I had to tell the truth I didn’t cover him in green slime it was blue and it’s not really slime its uh never mind you don't want to know. Anyways, Joe came in and said “I thought you said you wouldn’t put slime on me again?” “No Joe I said I wouldn’t put green slime on you again this slime is blue so HA-HA!” after Joe had talked to me he took a shower but he didn’t see the huge spider I had put in the bathtub. He walked in then you made a run for it while hearing “Sara you are so gonna get it when I get out of this shower!” then I said “that is if you get out of the shower" searching for the hot glue gun. While Joe was taking a shower I had glued the door shut not just with a glue gun also with super glue. If my mom would ask me why Joe was in the bathroom glued in I would say I don’t know I was shopping. So I had called all my friends to tell them if my mom asked if I went shopping they would say yes, which is true because I had left Joe in the bathroom until I got back from the mall.

The next day mom did ask why Joe was glued in the bathroom and looked at me with the oh-you-know-I-know look. Which I had said I don’t know what you’re talking about I went to the mall whit my friends and that’s the truth. Then my mom had said that she had to call the fire department to get my brother out that’s when I knew she knew I was busted. So mom had decided to send me to live my grandma which she only lived 3 blocks from us. Well, Joe just stood there laughing at me in the kitchen. That’s when I decided to pull the eggs out of the fridge and I put one egg on Joes head and smashed and said “HA-Ha who’s laugh’n now?!” my mom was really mad, so I was sent to live with grandma for 2 weeks which was a good time for me to plan more evil plans, and the other good thing grandma thought I was an angel that’s why I came to live with her for 2 weeks. When I got back joke was so mad he almost blew up. I was happy so I could prank him some more. Another reason I was happy is because I got to see Joe in more pain then ever.
