my school social scenario part 2

part 2 : As the car dragged itself to school my dad was worried that the car might not through the snow with a heave and a push the car slowly made it’s way to school. After school I was playing video games, when all of a sudden my mum burst telling me to get ready for the school social at 6:30 so I throw myself into the bath, have a quick shower. I brush my teeth quick as lightning and go to my room to prepare my costume but as I was speeding down the hall, something flew into my mind. I didn’t have a costume or anything else to wear, so I pleaded with my mum to try and convince her to take me to the sylvia park to buy a costume, eventually she gave in and took me. when we arrived a nerve wracking shock hit me, the shop was closed. I was so angry I almost swore but there was no time for swearing. We went to a different shop and luckily they were open but when we went to the counter to ask if they had any costumes but there was a problem, he was all out, “what about normal clothes” I asked. where not getting any until next week. I was steaming with anger but there were still a lot of shops to look at so we marched on forward. After running around looking for something to wear I felt like I was going to explode so I decided to just leave it and go home.

my rapid rush to school scenario, part 1


Mosa part 1 : I woke up to the brisk cold morning to find my own window frozen, I rapidly rushed outside and saw a blanket of snow covering the white frosted ground but with all the excitement I almost forgot about school, so I scampered down the hallway to wake up my dad. After that I got ready and started to clear the driveway with the shovel while listening to music on my cellphone. By the time my dad came out I was done, but we still had plenty of time left so we had a snow ball war. My dad won because he made the biggest snow ball. We then piled into the car but the car wouldn't start. It took us 5 tries to realize the problem. The engine was icy cold so my dad put boiling hot water over it and then he gave me the signal to start the car. A roaring blast came from engine and we were off, of course we were late, but luckily not that late.
