• I sat in my grandfather’s dusty attic, I had been stuck at my grandfather’s house the whole friggen summer, and I was sick of it! And now I had to stay there for half the year while my parents worked thing out. “Don’t sell me a bunch a cheap crap” I knew exactly what was going on. I had explored every inch of this dusty old mansion except the attic, so that’s where I was covered in dust holding a small jewelry box that was like covered under a million boxes. “Jezz gramps get a maid” I mumbled it was sooooo dusty it was unbelievable. I slowly opened the jewelry box inside was an old clock that was completely weird it had strange letter were the numbers should be and I’m not talking about roman numerals I’m not that stupid. At least it actuary ran clockwise “Amy” called my grandfather “time for dinner” there was something good about me staying here my gramps was totally cool and he was an awesome cook, yah isn’t like the grandma expose to be a good cook but my gram traveled the whole word and now she was in china. My gramps hated flying or any means of transportation, so while gram was out traveling the world gramps stayed home and more than enjoyed the company. “Hey gramps what’s with this old watch” I asked after dinner “hmmm let me see it” I handed the old watch to him “this is just one of your grandmother’s souvenirs she brought back from one of her trips” “cool can I keep it” “I don’t see why not” the watch was on this sort of key chain thing so I clamped it on one of the loops in my jeans.
    The next morning I struggled to get my uniform on I was late totally late it was only the second week of 1oth grade and I was late “Amy the bus is here” O crap I was doomed I ran down stairs slipped on my shoes and was out the door. I ran after and got on just in time I sat in the back of the bus, hoping that my hair wasn’t too much of I hot mess I searched in my pocket for my mirror instead I found my watch “ weird I don’t remember bringing it but I was in such a hurry I must have brought it”. When I got to school my best friends Sara and Yuri were there to greet me “wow, what with the old time pocket watch “ asked Sara “I didn’t know you were into that kind of stuff” I was confused now what pocket watch I looked down and sure enough on the belt loop of my skirt was that weird watch “ wow I’m totally messed up today I must have put this on while I was on the bus” I took it off and put in my locker. I began to brush my way to curly black hair“look it’s my favorite little short person” laughed a familiar annoying voice. “Varn the vermin why don’t you just go buzz off” I was not amuse I wasn’t that short he was just huge “oh, does little Amy have a short temper” that was it I kick him in the shin that he almost fell to the grown. “Ok let’s not get violent” warned Kyle “I can’t believe you still hang out with that creep” I said. Kyle was Varn’s best friend, but he wasn’t like him at all at for a short time I had a crush on him. “Ya, maybe you should stop” said Miki who was also Varn’s best friend, but despite me and Varn’s complete hatred for each other Miki and Sara were going out. Once varn and his gang were gone Yuri decided to open her big mouth “you’re totally crushing on Varn” “why the hell would I like that lowlife” I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks, how could I like him just the thought made me want vomit. “I knew it you do like him” teased Sara” “I-I do not how could I, w-why would I!” it was no use the two of them would be stuck on this for the whole friggen day. By the time I got to lunch thing were getting really freaky that watch appeared every were I went. So I gave up and just wore it. I Almost ran head first into Linda “what’s up” I asked “nothing just late for band practice” “ you late for band practice “ ya and I better get going” not to be mean but Linda was the definition of band geek. She wasn’t geeky or nerdy, she was smart and fun to be around but she spent a little too much time in band class. In geometry Roxana and Nicky kept asking for answer to questions I didn’t even know! Roxana and Nicky were to peas in a pod the might as well be twins ok they didn’t look at all alike but they were always together. On the bus ride home I listened to alexia complain about how hard 9th grade was if only she knew. When I got home I was too tiered to mess with my geometry homework. So I flapped out on my bed and went to sleep. When I woke up I wasn’t in my room and this wasn’t my grandfather’s house and sure as hell wasn’t New York. So where the hell was I? Why the heck was I here? And what was with this cheep red hood I was wearing!
