I couldn’t believe it when I opened the door! That was my exact reaction at the time. What had happened shocked me so bad, I couldn’t even stutter, I just stood there, in the door frame, frozen. To be fair, I’m sure you’d think I’m talking about something magical, but you’ll find out later how easily you can impress me with small things.
ReplyDeleteIt all started like an ordinary school day, a boring and quite depressing one in fact. I absolutely detest going to school on Friday, because it’s the end of the week, so I’m really tired and, besides, I have the most unnecessary classes on this day. It’s just a waste of time and good disposition. Returning to the story, after all this daily routine, I obviously got ready to go home, half asleep, impatient to get there faster. My father came to pick me up and soon, you’ll find out about the cause of my earlier reaction.
Just as I was opening the door, I heard a little trembling from the inside, but I thought it was nothing. I pulled it and in front of me, I saw the living room beautifully decorated and my friends. Realising I got so emotional that I couldn’t move, they surrounded me in the door frame, wishing me “happy birthday” and each of them waiting to hug me tight. Then, I burst in tears, I still couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought they had forgotten about my birthday, but they even organized a special surprise party with fashion theme, my favourite.
In the end, I had the best birthday and realized I finally chose the right friends, who care about me and put effort in our friendships, and that is the most valuable thing.

DeleteI couldn't believe it when I opened the door! And a policeman was sitting right in front of me. He was stirred and was also talking so fast that I couldn't understand anything. His car had broken while he was chasing a criminal, so he needed another car. I didn't know how to help him, because my mother wasn't at home. I agreed to give him the spare key only if I came with him in the pursuit. Everything happened so fast that I didn't realize the danger. Upon leaving the city, noticed the criminal's car and started the action. He increased the speed and reached him. The villain pulled out a gun and started shooting. My thought went to my poor mother when she will see her car destroyed. At a curve, the 2 cars collide and stop. The criminal gets out and threatens the policeman. Without thinking, I take the new pan, left by my mother in the car, and hit him. This is how I saved the policeman. And he imobilizes him and calls reinforcements. When we arrived at the police station , I saw my mother announcing the disappearance of me and the car. So i became known in the city, and the police bought my mother another car.
