Tales, Teasers, and Other Things!

  I have dirty blonde hair that is just under my shoulders. I love skinny jeans and cloth sweat pants. Just to let you know, my best friend, Nicole Wilson, has short hair about to her shoulders. People say that her hair color is a light brunette, but she says that it is a dark dirty blonde. Nicole loves to wear cute clothes from the best fashion designers. Like me, she barely ever wears skirts or dress. Nicole and I have had the worst life like ever at school ever since we got to middle school.

  There is this girl named Brooke Perf. She is so annoying. Brooke just tries to make my life miserable. The other day she asked Ryan Styles out on a date. He hasn`t replied yet though. YAY! Hey just to let you know, he is my crush! SSHHHHH! Don’t tell anyone. IF YOU TELL A SINGLE PERSON, well A SINGLE DIARY, I WILL PUT YOU DOWN THE SHREDDER. Just kidding. I won’t write in you for a month. So instead of you, I will use the computer. Sorry though that we are getting off to the wrong start. How about this . let’s be friends.

  Sincerely,

  Dear Diary,

  He said no! Yay! Ryan said no to Brooke`s request for a date.

  Okay, so I was at my locker and guess who comes stomping down the hall? Brooke. Her eyes were all watery like she was about to cry. I kinda felt bad for her, but who cares Ryan is open to me.

  I saw Ryan down the hall talking to his friends. He was probably telling them about the date and saying no.

  Brooke was gone when the bell rang. I was all like "UGH!!"

  I think I was a little too loud because Ryan looked down the hall and looked at me. Guess what I did diary? I blushed and gave him a cute smile. NO. I gave him a smile that turned out to look like I was constipated. CONSTIPATED!

  So Ryan looks at me with this weird look that was all like you-are-so-weird. So instead of me turning around and going to class, I slammed my head into my locker and just stayed there until I thought Ryan was gone.

  I heard someone come down the hall. Then the steps stopped and then all was quiet, which was kinda scary.

  ~~~~~~~

  The hall monitor walked behind me and was all like “What are you doing?" When hall monitor talked I screamed and bumped my head. The stupid metal locker left an annoying bump.

  And I was all like “Hiding?"

  So he was all like "From what and why?"

  So then I was all like “I was hiding from … um … the school?"

  The hall monitor was all like" Well then … get back to class.”

  As I walked to science, that’s what I had for first period, I heard something in the bathroom. I went in. Plus I had to go.

  Dear Diary

  Brooke was crying here face out. Her mascara was running done her face. Not really. The mascara actually dripped so far that it was about to bleed through her tank top.

  The Story of the Trees

  Rain drops lightly dripped down my long black hair. The pink and purple sky slowly turned black. I was still walking in the woods trying to find my sister’s doll.

  I suddenly heard someone whistle. I looked behind me … nothing. As I kept walking I heard tiny voices. I ran as fast as I could, gasping for more air.

  “Stop!” said a small voice.

  I paused, doing what I was told. I looked up and down, pondering the idea that a tree was talking to me.

  Suddenly another voice said, “You are special.”

  I thought I was dreaming… I settled down against a tall brown oak.

  Finally, it was morning. I dusted off my pants and started trying to find my sister’s doll again.

  The faint whistle of a mocking jay echoed through the trees. The sun started to slowly peddle down the sky.

  I heard the voices once again.

  I had a quick flashback of my mother fretting that I’d get lost. I stopped for a quick break. I settled down against the only sycamore tree in the whole forest.

  “Hello,” said a child-like whisper from the trees’ canopy.

  My heart stopped, but I replied with a simple hello.

  “Follow the trees,” the voice whispered. “There, you will find a box holding the wood’s amulet. Listen for the highest voice to guide you.”

  I jumped up and stood there in shock.

  My heart pounded; I debated if the tree was actually talking to me or if I was just going crazy.

  The voices were amazing, just like the tree had told me they would be.

  I listened to each one but no high voice appeared. A few hours later I heard the highest voice out of the whole forest.

  “Look down,” whistled the highest tree.

  I kneeled to the hard ground, noticing something glimmer in the darkness. A diamond shaped box lay at my feet, flickering like a candle in the wind. I ran my finger across the sculpted wooden top, marveling at the detail of the simple sycamore tree in the upper right hand corner.

  I cautiously opened the box … no amulet was there.

  The Forest No One Sees

  Chapter 1: Anger Management

  As I threw the last pink pillow on my bed, my brother, Ryan, pulled the covers off, jumped on the bed, and switched the TV on.

  “Hey, what was that for?!” I yelled, anger filling my body.

  “Be quiet, you little pipsqueak!” Ryan said like the boss of the house, even though he knows he’s not.

  “Mom, Ryan’s acting like a jerk again!” I managed to yell from 3 flights upstairs.

  I live in a real mansion and go to MPS (Monopoiles Private School). My dad makes $400,000,000 working as a marine biologist in California.

  “Alright, I’ll be right up after I get us a reservation at Vaccarro.” My mom, Linda, yelled upstairs while still on the phone with the manager of Vaccarro.

  After mom came upstairs and saw that Ryan had locked me in my own closet, she said “Okay, everyone in the car, now.”

  “Wait, where are we going?” I asked, my mom opening the door for me.

  “Just get in the car and do as I say!!!” mom yelled as we entered our yellow 4 car garage. Little did I know that we were going to get everything fixed and that my life would change forever!

  Chapter 2: Middle of Nowhere

  As we backed out of the driveway, I noticed that Violet (my older sister) hadn’t come out of the house yet.

  “Hey mom, where’s Violet?” Even though I didn’t really care, I wanted to sound like I did.

  “She’s over at Vince’s house, “mom replied with unenthusiastically.

  “But she’s always at his house. Hunter lives in our neighborhood and is my boyfriend and I’m not at their house 24/7.”

  “I know, but…… you just wouldn’t understand” I knew that mom didn’t know what to say and was stalling so she wouldn’t have to.

  When we finally got onto highway 43, it was 12:30 and mom was rushing to get to some unknown place. I looked around and everything seemed so gray and lifeless. We were so hungry that we stopped at an old arcade, to get some extra buttery popcorn, orange crush, and frozen yogurt. When I said everything looked so gray and lifeless, I meant it. When we walked, you could tell how long this place had been abandoned. The counter where we went to get our food had red and black rust.

  “Hello? Is anyone here?!” Mom yelled through the store.

  “Oh, hello” someone named Jake said in really low voice. He reminded me of Vince and Hunter.

  “Uh….hi” It was my turn to talk, and I’m really shy around strangers so this was hard for me. Right before I got to say anything else, I got a text from Hunter saying that Violet was on her way home and asking me where I was.

  This is what I replied:

  I don’t care about that first part and honestly I have no idea where I am.

  See you later, hopefully,

  Katie
>
  After I replied to this Jake said, “So, that’s about it!”

  Seriously, they had taken a tour of the arcade without me! This is outrageous, especially since the 4th rule in our house is to never leave others behind.

  “One question….” I said, my hand shaking of anxiety.

  “Could you give me the tour, I was…. Uh……. Busy?! I was really embarrassed because Jake thought that I had already taken the tour and really didn’t want to give me another one, even though this was my first time taking the actual tour.

  “Sure, I guess I’ll give you ANOTHER tour, but this time you get a special tutorial of how to get a broken arcade game back to life!” Jake said this with a sheepish grin on his face, which kind of gave me the creeps. I agreed, but didn’t feel protected at all. I felt like the people in horror movies right before their leg gets chopped off with an ax.

  Chapter 3: The Tour

  “This is the counter where people used to buy food before the health department closed us down.” I realized then that we probably weren’t getting our food here.

  “And here is where I will be teaching you the beauty of putting together an arcade game that has been broken down for 3 years.” Again, Jake had the sheepish grin that gave me the sense that something just wasn’t right here.

  “Okay, so what you do is you take the red wire and connect it to the green wire…”Jake was boring me and I didn’t really pay attention to the rest of the tutorial, I dozed off a little bit, except for when he said that it was my turn, and that’s when my life changed forever.

  Chapter 4: Amazingly Freaky

  I stepped into the big black box and again had the feeling that I shouldn’t be doing this. Little yellow sparks burned tiny holes in the soles of my shoes. I sat down and immediately jumped right back up. I had just gotten shocked and sparks blinded me. I passed out and found that the world I was in right now was no 2nd dimension. AS I opened my eyes, everywhere I looked there was green. I sat up and hit my head on something really hard. I fell back down and woke up with a little girl’s face in mine.

  “Hi, I’m Hannah!” the little girl over excitedly screamed in my face.

  “Hi, I’m Katie” I responded. By now Hannah and I were walking around and honestly, I was having a good time. Strangely, she looked a lot like Violet.

  “So, what is this place?” I asked hoping not to get a fairytale answer.

  “This is the land of Bushica” Hannah said not so excitedly. Since I met her, like 5 minutes ago, she has been enthusiastic in everything she says so it took me by surprise that she said this a little sadly, and then I realized that she did give me a fairytale answer.

  “Why did you say it like that?” I asked.

  “What do you mean?” Hannah replied with a bit of sadness in her voice.

  “Well, you said it sadly” I answer.

  “Well, it’s just that……. nah you wouldn’t want to hear about it” Hannah says. How would she know what I want and don’t want to know?

  “Yes, I kind of want to hear about it.” You could hear the eagerness in my voice, and my excitement was jumping up and down inside of my body.

  “It all started about a year ago. Our king, King Narsia, escaped the game.” Hannah said this and I looked around the land and for the first time saw that everything was pixelated.

  “Whoa, stop the train. You’re telling me that I’m in the video game!!!!!” I half yelled.

  “You mean you didn’t know all this time?” Hannah asked.

  “Well, in my defense, I have been passed out most of the time I’ve been here and I just got my clear vision back instead of blurry.” I said. I felt like I was talking to Ryan.

  THE SECRET LIFE OF SANDY HOOK

  2,000 years into the future.

  There in the kitchen washing a baby gorilla was a 15 year old girl who lived on The Island of Good. This girl was named Sandy Mae Elizabeth Hook, Sandy for short. Sandy was the type of person that was always doing what they’re supposed to and asked to do. Sandy didn’t like mischief, but there was one person on The Island of Good that would do anything just to say he was a trouble maker.

  This person that loved mischief was Daniel John McKee, D.J. for short. He loved when he got in so much trouble that The Island Commissioner almost kicked him off the Island of Good! Twice!

  Yellow and silver filled the sky with huge orange and blue trees and pink and green lakes. This was the Forest of the Knight in the back of The Island of Good. The forest was the prettiest, most magnificent, most spectacular forest in the world!

  At first when D.J. decided to bring Sandy to the forest. He wanted to show her all the secret places he had found. But, didn’t realize how pretty she looked in the night sky. He decided that he was going to kiss his girlfriend Sandy.

  “Sandy!” yelled a big, strong, burly man. This was the Sandy’s father. This was from scenic room, which was the one room that every house had big or small that was full of nothing but windows. “Yes dad,” Sandy called from the quiet room, which not every house had, that was made up of peace, quiet, and relaxation.

  “I need to talk to you about something important that you should start this year.” advised her father.

  “Dad I’m here what do you need to talk to me about?” asked Sandy.

  “Sandy, I think that you should start dating soon.” said her father.

  “But dad I already do kind of have a boyfriend.” said Sandy nervously.

  “Who!” exclaimed Sandy’s father?

  “D.J.”

  Sandy and D.J., still in The Forest of the Knights, now sitting on the Fountain of the Lions. The Fountain is over 2,000 years old and has lions all around it. It feels like such a magical moment when your there with the lions. Sandy and D.J. were talking having a good time, when…Sandy kissed D.J.! Even though Sandy and D.J. had been girlfriend and boyfriend for about 2-3 months D.J never thought that Sandy would have ever kissed him that soon since they haven’t been together that long. D.J was so electrified that he gave Sandy a strong embrace and then it happened.

  Strong footsteps of a magical creature stomped towards Sandy and D.J. They could feel hot breath on the back of their necks. The ground shook like an earthquake. The world that was once beautiful and magnificent had then turned dark and eerie. As he came he brought the darkness with him.

  “Who are you? asked Sandy in a startled voice.

  “I am the Zorg.”

  “What’s that behind you?”

  “That’s my darkness. Everyone carries around something even if you can’t see it, it’s still there. Yours is the power of the sun. You have the power to give light or heat to anyone.

  “Oh! That’s cool. So with a snap of my fingers I can give people light and heat?”

  “Yes! That is correct.”

  “So, your name is Zorg? By the way what is a zorg?”

  “A zorg is a zebra and frog mix.”

  “Oh, okay.”

  “NO! Well yes, but I didn’t always have that as my name I used to be the prince of the Island of Purple Clouds, until, it happened.”

  “What happened? Who’s the prince now? ”

  “I’ve heard that someone by the name of prince Gabriel was the prince but he resigned because of some past legal trouble. Besides, if I told you what happened, you wouldn’t be able to understand, and I don’t have time for that. If I told you the whole story it could be a 500 page book. Besides you would never understand.”

  “Oh yeah like a 15 year old girl wouldn’t know about romance and break ups.”

  “Fine. But please do not stop me in the middle of each sentence and or phrase. Got it! It happened about two and a half years ago.”

  I was the 147th prince of the mystical island of Purple Clouds. My father is the present day king of the island of Purple Clouds. Doomloc the warlock said to prince Diovann “If you love my daugh
ter then you will be curse free forever.”

  “Yes Sir” I muttered, I will not break your daughter’s heart as long as I shall live.”

  “But if you shall break my daughter’s heart then I will turn you into a magical creature and you shall never return to my house ever again.” yelled the Doomloc the warlock.

  “If you do then something bad is going to happen. I don’t know if it will be to me or to you or even to Jessica. I’m guessing that you don’t want that to happen, especially to Jessica.” whispered in a low, dark, mischievous voice by Jessica’s dad also known as Doomloc the warlock .

  As I turned to leave I heard a cackle and then a shriek! I dared not to turn around because I didn’t know if Doomloc the warlock was planning to do something to me. But, what I did see was fumes of smoke go up into the air and then Doomloc the warlock disappears.

  One thing that I thought was why did Doomloc the warlock tell me to never return to his house ever again?

  I did break Doomloc the warlock’s daughter’s heart but, it wasn’t my fault. The Allinake, an alligator and snake mix, turned himself into me by speaking to Grange the magical giraffe. Grange was an evil creature, and he could get you to turn into any person, place, or thing that you wanted to be. Even if it would cause the whole world to be in danger, Grange was not afraid to do it because there was only one thing in the world that could kill or defeat him. That thing was a diamond jewel.

  Grange then turned the Allinake into prince Diovann in an instant. The Allinake then went to Doomloc the warlock’s house and told Doomloc the warlock’s daughter that he didn’t want to date Doomloc the warlock’s daughter anymore, while the real me still loved and cared about Jessica, Doomloc the warlock’s daughter. No doubt that Jessica was heartbroken but didn’t think that I was the one who broke her heart. Jessica was trying to explain to her father to not turn me into a monster because I didn’t deserve to be treated like a monster if it wasn’t me that broke her heart.
